Upcoming releases
Parajekt (LP)
A bold journey through electronic experimentation, Parajekt finds Parajekt (Bernhard Hammer & Matija Schellander) shaping intricate soundscapes from drum machines, samplers, and modular synths. The result is an album that merges beat-driven textures, dub processes, and live immediacy into a compelling modern statement.
Mirror at Night
Mirror at Night searches the subconscious: Eric Angelo Bessel sculpts a spectral space where ambient resonance, spectral melody, and time-stretched echoes intermingle. The album pulses with memory and hush, summoning nocturnal images that flicker between clarity and dissolution—a twilight walk across the inner landscape.
Live at Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali
Live At Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali sees Grischa Lichtenberger transfigure a forty-minute set into a tactile, visual, and kinetic experience. Industrial clangor, mechanical pulses, and fleeting ambience merge, sculpted with rigor. Issued by Hermit Records as a collector’s vinyl, it stands at the edge between noise, rhythm, and abstraction
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field witnesses Horse Lords and Arnold Dreyblatt in deep collaboration, melting minimal composition and polyrhythmic invention into a sprawling sound experiment. The album pulses and stretches, dissolving genre boundaries and conjuring a space where tradition is not static, but ever-evolving.
La Traversée (LP)
Matthias Puech’s La Traversée ventures through atmospheric electronic landscapes, offering an evocative journey with immersive soundscapes. Released on Hallow Ground as an LP, this album invites listeners to experience a visionary fusion of music and art from a renowned artist-led label, dedicated to inspiring sonic exploration.
Way Their Crept
Liz Harris's debut as Grouper returns—the album that established her approach to ambient music as something other than comfort. Songs that refuse to be remembered, fog that won't lift, secrets kept just on the other side of the speakers. Kranky reissues the 2005 original.
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.
Interstitial Spaces
Interstitial Spaces marks Martin Brandlmayr’s first venture with Faitiche and explores those rarefied, nearly invisible moments at the threshold of musical narrative—what lingers after conclusion, what bristles before commencement. Here, Brandlmayr—Radian and Polwechsel's celebrated percussion mind—deploys field, film and record scraps, sculpting from absence a delicate, audio micro-drama.
More Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of Vol 2
Celebrated Norwegian band Fra Lippo Lippi return with a definitive new collection, More Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of Vol. 2, an album that continues their legacy as one of the most beloved and enduring names in pop history. Following on from the success of *Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of*, this second volume offers a fresh journey through the band’s timeless works, bringing together carefully curated tracks that capture both their heartfelt lyricism and melodic brilliance. Emerging in th…
1979
"Two years after he first appeared on Balmat with 1977, Mike Paradinas returns with 1979. The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something—half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair—in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released. Just like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Li…
Langue of Tongue
Lénok’s 'Langue of Tongue' is a descent. An unhinged pinballing down a realm of incomprehension and lunacy, a darkly psychedelic ego-death-spiral into a world of pure, deranged disquiet. It is, and this cannot be emphasised enough, a truly fucked up place. It comes complete with clearly marked borders delineated by its opening and closing tracks '(Entrance' and 'Exit)’. The message is clear: this is less album than zone. There's no comfort to be found here. It’s like the inner monologue of some …
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
Violinist, composer, and arranger Hiroki Tamaki presents a majestic musical tapestry inspired by the teachings of Indian spiritual philosopher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Layering his own vocals in rich harmony and weaving in the ethereal synthesizer work of Fumitaka Anzai (of TPO and Urusei Yatsura fame), Tamaki creates a soundscape of mysticism and spiritual balance. The album features progressive rock-influenced tracks such as “The Songs of Mahamudra” and “Meditation,” alongside hidden gems of Ja…
Dark Lights
Acclaimed composer, producer, DJ, and founder of Nonclassical, Gabriel Prokofiev, unveils his long-awaited album Dark Lights, marking his first personal release on the label in over a decade. Known for his distinctive fusion of genres, Prokofiev bridges the worlds of orchestral music and electronic production with an intensity that feels uniquely his own.
Dark Lights represents a bold step forward in Prokofiev’s sonic journey. Drawing on his background as a producer of hip-hop, grime, and elec…
Orange
*300 copies limited release* Originally released in 2010 on limited edition CD, Orange is a singular, kaleidoscopic statement from Vermont-based Kurt Weisman – multi-instrumentalist, hermit mystic, and founding member of cult supergroup Feathers (with Kyle Thomas/King Tuff, Asa Irons, Ruth Garbus, and Chris Weisman). “If a homesick alien were to fall to Earth, meet a girl, pick up a guitar, and retreat to a cabin in the woods, it’s possible his first record would sound a lot like Kurt Weisman’s …
Openings and Samādhis
"Samādhi,- a Sanskrit word meaning “concentration,” can refer to both the activity of Buddhist meditation and the absorbed state of mind of a meditating person.
Wherever I’ve known the improvisatory gesture to manifest – whether in experimental music, live art, writing, radical research workshops or the subtle space of meditation – I’ve found a similar set of energetic qualities budding. Openness, presence, surprise, delight and even sometimes the ‘dropping off of mind and body’ (as 13th century…
Reaction
Originally released in 1972 on Polydor, Reaction is a raw, high-voltage blast of Hard Rock, Blues Rock, and Heavy Psych from Hamburg’s loudest and most electrifying trio.Forged in post-’60s Germany and driven by Peter Braun’s searing guitar work and vision, this overlooked gem finally gets the recognition it deserves. Reissued by Yunque Records, the album delivers a tightly wound, riff-heavy assault that hits hard from the first note to the last—no filler, no compromise. Reaction made a name for…
Música Urbana
Música Urbana was a short-lived Spanish jazz‑rock band formed in Barcelona in the mid-70s by composer and multi-instrumentalist Joan Albert Amargós. Their aim was to forge a distinctly Catalan progressive-rock identity—rooted in Mediterranean and Andalusian traditions rather than Anglophone influences. The band assembled top-tier musicians (Lucky Guri, Carles Benavent, Salvador Font, Luigi Cabanach…) piece by piece, ultimately becoming a sort of local supergroup. Their sound blended jazz‑rock, t…
And Then Perhaps
Charming atmosphere & dreamy twin female vocals, mixing traditional tunes with interesting covers and superb original songs featuring a slight psych/folk edge. Named after the fabled ghost ship, Wolverhampton folk group Marie Celeste left behind just one rare recording: the 1971 private-press album And Then Perhaps. Pressed in only 200 copies without a proper picture sleeve and recorded live in a single session, it has since become a collector’s treasure – a haunting message in a bottle from the…
Wide Open
The landmark album "Wide Open" by Kahvas Jute, originally released in 1971, is once again available for devoted fans and new listeners. Widely recognized as a progressive rock milestone and a consummate example of underground psychedelic hard rock, "Wide Open" showcases the trailblazing artistry of the band’s original lineup: Dennis Wilson (guitar, vocals), Tim Gaze (guitar, vocals), Bob Daisley (bass), and Dannie Davidson (drums).
Blending expansive sounds of rock, blues, and jazz, "Wide Open" …
What NGC 4594 Really Means!
Named after the galactic location of the nearest black hole to Earth, Connecticut psychedelic band NGC-4594 only issued one single during their brief existence in 1967, “Skipping Through The Night” (truly an acid-head anthem) backed with “Going Home”. Rumours of a lost, unissued full album started to circulate until psych music researcher Gray Newell found it. We did the first ever vinyl release back in 2011 and after many years out of print, we present a new repress. Top shelf acid-rock / psych…
