Upcoming releases
Klotski
On Klotski, Lao Dan Quartet throws tenor, bamboo flute and suona into a Chicago crucible, where Mabel Kwan, Joshua Abrams and Michael Zerang keep reshaping time and texture until free jazz feels like a sliding puzzle in permanent motion.
Vol. II
If Vol. 1 was the secret handshake, Vol. II is the full initiation rite. The anonymous Quebec duo's sophomore album landed in April 2026 with the weight of near-impossible expectations - sold-out tours across two continents, a viral KEXP session with millions of views, Pitchfork and Fantano circling the wagons - and the remarkable thing is that Angine De Poitrine didn't flinch. Six new tracks, same formula on paper - Khn's microtonal double-neck and loop pedals, Klek's ferocious yet calculated d…
Vol.1
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…
Ghosts Beneath The Brine
Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle concludes their trilogy on Important Records with an album that confronts the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems. From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's ris…
Images of Life
Images of Life is the career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Detroit's unheralded songwriting genius, Ted Lucas. Disc one "Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970)" highlights Ted's flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. "Rainy Days (1970-1974)" will be the solo acoustic warmth and charm most familiar to folks already aware of Ted's self- titled "OM" album from 1975. "…
Searching
*2026 repress* Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascada …
In a secret room
*300 copies limited edition* In a Secret Room is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD, bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visu…
Paradoxal Innovations
Philatélie proudly unveils Paradoxal Innovations, the groundbreaking new double cassette release by visionary artist Uton, the enigmatic Finnish producer known for his immersive sonic exploration.
Kujodada
This is the mental junkyard of evaporating dreams, disintegrating memories and fading recollections. Industrial Gagaku.
Liskoaivo/Alkeis
In Finnish language Alkeis is not exactly a full word, but functions more like a prefix, meaning rudimentary or primitive. It communicates well the habitus of the crude oscillations that are inspected here: the smallest possible, single-cell organism devoid of thought, driven by instinct.
Liskoaivo is a finnish word for "lizard brain", the region of the brain that regulates our primitive reactions.As sophisticated as oscillators and modular synthesis might be, at the core lies an unexplainable u…
Maja
Philatélie is thrilled to announce the release of Maja, the latest album from the experimental noise project Circle of Shit.
Anti-Ironic Harsh Noise
Debut solo tape by this up and coming Dutch project associated with notable artists like awenydd, Jonathan Bergen, JSH, Moozzhead, Richard Ramirez and Vincent Dallas.
Cataclysmic Reprogram
Psychedelic Harsh Noise from Finland with previous releases on Freak Animal, Narcolepsia, Satatuhatta and Tribe Tapes. Relentlessly heady mind frying electronics from the man behind Uton.
Expecting Different Results
Lusters is a duo between Finnish projects Edge of Decay and Circle of Shit. This is their first proper full length CD following cassette releases on Freak Animal, Satatuhatta and Tribe Tapes.
Agneta Nilsson (Heldon IV)
On Agneta Nilsson, Heldon sharpen their hybrid of radical prog and early electronics into long, slow-burning forms, where rigorously shaped tension keeps colliding with sudden voltage spikes of guitar and synth.
Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale (Heldon V)
On Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale, Heldon compress their sound into a harsher, more pressurised zone, where sharpened synth-guitar structures pulse, splinter and recombine, holding tight form even as they threaten to rupture.
Independent / Interdependent
On Independent / Interdependent, Savina Yannatou, Gonçalo Almeida and Costis Drygianakis turn a live trio into a dark, hovering organism, where voice, double bass and electronics circle each other in tense, shifting proximity, testing how far independence can stretch without breaking connection.
Mushin
On Mushin, Susana Santos Silva and Vasco Trilla strip trumpet and percussion down to pure responsiveness, letting sound arise and vanish like breath in a Zen exercise, where every gesture feels both unpremeditated and utterly focused.
Valtakunta
Black Vinyl. Eero Koivistoinen is one of the foundational figures of Finnish jazz - a saxophonist, composer and arranger whose career spans six decades and whose influence on the Nordic scene is impossible to overstate. Valtakunta, originally released in 1967 on Otavan Kirjalliset Äänilevyt (a book publisher, of all places), was his very first album, and it has remained one of the most elusive and sought-after records in the Finnish discography ever since - available only through a scarce CD rei…
