Youth Looks So Good On You
“When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, fluorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my floral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore. Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing."
There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the …
The Water Garden
A buoyant masterpiece from the early 90s, "The Water Garden" was created by Okinawa-born Kojun Kokuba under the inspiring image of a "happy Asia" thriving in the sea-based trading networks of the medieval to pre-modern era, with the concept that various types of music, as well as physical goods, were distributed and dispersed across the seas connecting various parts of east and southeast Asia. Fittingly, the music here has definite and distinctive Ryukyu island roots, but is informed by a number…
Minami-kaze α Wave
This work is produced by Henry Kawahara, following the well-received Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm: The Essential Henry Kawahara, and one of rare 'vocal pieces' produced by him is now available on one-sided 7" and digital.
"Minami-kaze α Wave (Southerly wind alpha wave)" is, as far as we know, the only 'vocal piece' that Henry Kawahara has produced, and released under the name HMD (H Music Deperception) in 1993. The song is a vocal version of the cyber-occult exotic instrumental piece "Nanpu" i…

Temps Boro
"It all originates from a state between dream and reality - a drunkenness. Each title alludes to something blurry, abstract, or even unfinished. The next day, you wake up and don't know if what you did was, or simply wasn't. A distinctive endeavor with a somewhat lo-fi filter, featuring ambient touches, experimental dub elements, and holistically defined as avant-garde." New identity for new music, Bastien is part of anonymous Barcelona. And little more can be said about him.
Local Maxima
This release is a journey, a weaving together of fleeting visions from parallel, yet intertwined sonic realms. It ventures boldly through a rich tapestry of sounds and textures, each track born not from rigid intention but from an unrelenting pursuit of the elusive, those shimmering, transient spaces in the soundscape, like the mysterious limbo of Vaalbara. The music unfolded live, forged in real-time with an arsenal of synthesizers. In these moments, delicate interactions gave way to sudden sto…
Gruwel
Business card CDr. "It was about time that I released a business card CDr again. I also had this drawing which I thought would work great as a cover image. The only thing I had to do is make the music for it. So here it is. It turned out a bit dramatic, stylistically, with desolate fog horn like swells and faint electronic rumblings. It's all quite sombre, but with all the horrible conflicts in the world today, what else could I do?"
Suchness

LSD046
LSD046 is a compilation released on the renowned Light Sounds Dark label, known for its mysterious and evocative approach to experimental music. This single-disc album delivers around 40 minutes of captivating soundscapes, focusing on gothic, archaic atmospheres and indescribable late-night moods—from the shadowy edges of electronic music to haunting drone, alien-like chatter, and unsettling anti-gravity textures. The album eschews traditional track listings, instead inviting the listener into a…
B side
Shadows fold into colour. Memory dissolves into noise. You brush up against the walls of the mind. Touch is soft as breath. On ‘B-Side’, Areliz Ramos follows her work’s current into its more “fantastic and elusive… and even romantic” side; a place where fantasy loosens the bolts of reality and memory, and emotion is alluringly refracted into musical collages and loose-strung compositions. Across the album, voices drift in and out of an intimate space, while pensive guitar lines stumble and bloom…
Mercury Vineyard Surgeries
*100 copies. Hand numbered double sided screen print* There are albums that slip through the cracks of time, becoming mythical objects that collectors whisper about in hushed tones. Grant Corum's Mercury Vineyard Surgeries was one such release - originally dispersed as cassettes during a 2018 tour, these tapes became talismanic objects that suggested an entirely different relationship between composer and listener, between healing and sound. Now, seven years later, Psychic Sounds has recognized …

Defragment
2010 release ** "Andrew Hargreaves, one half of The Boats, largely sails solo on Defragment where his melodious piano playing and electronic programming are augmented in a small number of cases by the contrasting presence of Danny Norbury's cello. A sense of dub-like spaciousness permeates the mix, and there occurs an occasional dubby bass line too. But lest anyone get the wrong impression, Defragment is most assuredly not a dub album but rather a forty-minute collection of hazy piano-based sett…
Omnis Festinatio Ex Parte Diaboli Est
One of contemporary ambient’s preeminent figures lands on its leading label, enacting a transition into a new phase of rhythmic noise and tonal shadowplay laced with peculiar sensitivities, wrangling Dilloway-influenced tape noise thru ASMR ambience, fritzed dub techno, layered vocal drone and ritualistic mantras.
Perila steps up solo with a heavily satisfying debut for West Mineral, investigating negative space and states of subconsciousness. The shift in tone feeds forward into arcane realms o…
