A Danger to Ourselves
Lucrecia Dalt’s A Danger to Ourselves is a fearless reflection on the unfiltered complexities of human connection. Stripping away fictional narratives present on the artist’s last several album endeavors, A Danger to Ourselves arrives from a place of emotional sincerity. Sonically unraveling like a deeply personal conversation,Dalt’s voice is foregrounded and formidable, supported by a lush array of acoustic orchestration and processing, collaged percussive patterns, and an esteemed cast of coll…
Tainted Creampuffs
Originally released on Beta-lactam Ring as just 25 CDR copies, this mutated voice recording nightmare has been reassembled and remastered by Colin Potter. Possibly the strangest Nurse release of all time.
Terms And Conditions Apply
Moving from chaotic big band absurdity to African-inspired polyrhythms, cold techno and smoky ambient passages, Nurse With Wound's essential compilation returns with new Babs Santini artwork. A disorienting patchwork that serves as both historical document and standalone masterwork.

Voukolika Tragoudia
*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Voukolika Tragoudia (The Shepherd's Songs) is a collection of tracks that tries to imitate in fragments of extreme sound the wild and often primitive life on the mountains and plains of Creta. Growing up on this kind of environment it can surely be a catalyst for experimentation.
The main characters of these sound ''postcards'' are firstly the animals (goats or sheep usually) while they carry on their necks pieces of iron in the form of bells, ungulae, bon…
En Perpetua
The Madrid duo of Pablo Mirón and Juan Vacas return for their second album 'En Perpetua' as they dive further into their decayed collage and psycho-acoustic-geography. While they remain in similar sonic territory to 'En Perpetua’s' predecessor, 'Of No Fixed Abode', the pair lean into newfound confidence in their process, and the endless possibilities from a new Madrid studio. They employ a selection of instruments including violin, harmonica, voices, guitars, a looper, an FM radio and field reco…
Lost Coast: Some Visionary Music From California
A collection of obscure and unheard metaphysical sounds, 1980-1992
The Incident
BIg tip! The incident is conceived as a sonic storyboard, a labyrinthine, narrative-driven 'pseudo musical' - using comical sonic touches and startling, idiosyncratic abstractions to reflect the era's flustering absurdity. divided into 4 chapters, the first part ('let the record show'), ponders upon the end of the information age - as we stumble on to an age of corroboration and mutual witnessing...observe, acknowledge, transform, throw back - and reality getting replaced by its representation. …
Der Tanz Aller
When the performance group Ligna approached me in 2012 to compose music for a play based on Rudolf von Laban’s revolutionary kinetic theories and so-called ‘Bewegungschöre’ (movement choirs), I thought of a soundtrack that would be both rhythmically engaging, abstract and mechanical. I knew there would be pre-recorded voices talking about his philosophy and guiding the audience via headphones. So, I had to leave some “air” in the arrangements, allowing the visitors to concentrate on the spoken w…
Amabilis Insania
"Amabilis Insania," Retina.it's first LP release since 2012, marks a significant return for the duo after more than a decade. The album is a profound exploration of the themes of resilience, renewal, and organic growth; drawing inspiration from the philosophical ideas of Immanuel Kant, particularly his concept of the sublime. The title, which translates to "Lovely Madness," serves as an invitation to delve into the album’s deep philosophical underpinnings. In "Amabilis Insania," Retina.it explor…
Own Affairs
"This is an album made during a crucial period in South Africa’s history during which there was a palpable feeling of a slow turning towards the collapse of the apartheid state side by side with an increasingly well-organised culture of resistance through the formation of the United Democratic Front (UDF) and various affiliated bodies. However, as a result, there was increased pushback from the state security establishment, a turning to dirty tricks and the formation of hit squads Whose members …
Even As We Speak: The Music of David Van Tieghem
The American percussionist, composer, and songwriter David Van Tieghem (b. 1955) is something like a musical equivalent to astronomy’s “hypothetical astronomical object”: while evidence of an irresistible gravitational pull can be felt in deep reaches of the cosmos, its source is enshrouded in darkness, revealing glimpses of celestial power to astute observers. For David Van Tieghem, these observers include a dizzyingly impressive cast of landmark musicians with whom he has composed and performe…
Winter/Music for Zeitgeist Fighters
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021 US label Helen Scarsdale Agency released Kleistwahr's 'Winter' album on vinyl in an edition of 300 now more or less sold out, while 'Music for Zeitgeist Fighters' preceded it by a few years on Egypt's Nashazphone imprint also as an LP limited to 300 and equally hard to find these days.
Both albums are brought together on this limited edition 2CD release and feature, between them, five bonus tracks not previously made available elsewhere. Anybody paying enough…
No Language
*300 copies limited edition* John Davis is a sound artist and filmmaker based in the Bay Area. Active since the mid-aughts, he has published recordings on labels such as Root Strata and Digitalis, as well as on his own Bimodal Press imprint. “Landlines” sees a return to the SOD catalog for Davis, following a full-length release in 2013, and may be seen as somewhat of a spiritual successor to that album. In all of Davis’ work, there is a specific pastoral sensibility that feels firmly rooted in t…

El Sol de los Muertos
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* This album, crafted entirely on a subharmonic framework and meticulously processed through tape manipulation, stands as Concepción Huerta’s sharpest work to date, undoubtedly her most abrasive, intense, and exhilarating. Her signature remains intact: an approach deeply rooted in drone, musique concrète, and hauntingly visceral textures. Conceptually, Huerta’s sonic vision evokes an image of open veins, not human veins, but those of the earth itself, the open vein…
