The Sludge Of The Land
The Sludge Of The Land is the new album by digital folklore and post-exoticism Italian duo Babau. Their first full length since 2023’s Flatland Explorations Vol. 2, with The Sludge Of The Land Babau lands on Impatience with their signature audio-prestidigitation at it’s most disorientingly pungent and zonked, a uniquely contemporary approach described as the sound of a continent moving; animals, plants and minerals included.
As part of a residency at Casa degli Artisti, Milan, in 2022, Babau tur…
Time, Islands and Thresholds
Lay Llamas is an open musical project founded in 2012 by Sicilian composer, musicologist and graphic designer Nicola Giunta. Not a band, but a shifting constellation of collaborators, visions and sounds. Rooted in psychedelic traditions yet untethered from genre, Lay Llamas explores ritual rhythms, imagined folklores and escapist exoticism, where past and future blur into something new each time. The project has featured collaborations with artists such as Gioele Valenti (JuJu/Herself), Mark Ste…
Window Areas
*50 copies limited edition* Indefinite Boundary proudly presents its inaugural debut with Window Areas – an immersive and vibrant fusion of six percussive-laden, free-jazz adjacent, post-punk informed pieces infused with dub methodology from Niikkolahs. Thematically following ancient cultures' practices of forming contact with the Otherworld and the concept of the liminal spaces where life and death collide, Window Areas is an entry to the known unknown.
From the opening heavy psychedelic gnosis…
Il Suono che Ipnotizza
*20 copies limited edition* Negromidi moves slowly and incessantly to a low, inexorable rhythm. It tells of distant myths...
Exotic Animals
DJ Himitsu is a Tokyo-born, London-based producer and DJ, known for his understated approach and deep knowledge of Japanese vinyl and book culture. Following a debut EP of acid house on Australian imprint Lunatic Music in 2023, 'Exotic Animals' marks a new waypoint in Himitsu's artistic evolution.
On this debut full length, driving 303 basslines and kickdrums are traded in for obscure recordings and convoluted samples, which spiral and fuse to form shuffling, heady new compositions. Like shatter…
Red Sky At Night
The Natural Yogurt Band returns from the rolling Derbyshire hills with an enthralling new album that redefines their unique sound. Known for their signature blend of raw neo-library and exotica grooves, the band now adds an innovative electronic twist, broadening their sonic palette while staying true to their eclectic roots. This record invites listeners into a richly textured soundscape where soulful string synths soar above playful modular chirps and crunchy electric pianos. Each track is car…
Primordia
*70 copies limited edition* Norwegian–Cuban duo to you they are birds, to me they are voices in the forest return with their second album, Primordia. Using field recordings, electronics, and live instruments, they craft improvised soundscapes that blur the line between natural and musical environments. Primordia continues their focus on the interaction between people, nature, and sound, combining raw textures with subtle improvisation. The result is an immersive work that feels both organic and …
Splitting Hits For The Heat Damage
*100 copies limited edition* The chars were emerging as some chunk of makeshift swamp coolers blasted the soil surrounding our motorbikes. Sunburn vapours floating grey all around, licking our necks with heavy hazy tongues. Just oppressive and gross. Blah. Someone says heat waves are among the most dangerous natural hazards. I guess that the magnetic tides did not help at all. For sure, recreational sleep deprivation aside, it was days of relentlessly documented tipsy headaches, thermometric cic…
Inland See
Hurtling through the perpetual into this moment is the now and future Bitchin Bajas. An effulgent mass located somewhere beyond land or water, Bitchin Bajas' Inland See is flowing toward you, through the hi-fi, arriving with precision extractions of electroacoustic synthesis, revolving in a post-ambient craft that lifts the listener up powerfully, like you’re floating – in saltwater, or helium – effervescent, effortless, elemental.
Serate Jazz nel Deserto
Tip! Tip! Tip! There is a place on the edge of the desert that is a refuge for broken hearts and lonely souls: Bar Mirage offers its customers the best cocktails in the entire desert, which know how to inebriate the palate and refresh the soul.
Every regular has his favorite cocktail and each of them has some sorrow to drown in it: there is Sir Brummel, the old boatswain, lost in his memories of youthful exploits; at the counter there's Lady Brigitta, the retired fortune teller, who chats animat…
Staying (Leaving Records Aid to Artists Impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires)
"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis America’s darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7th—and which are still raging—are, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the city’s living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of w…
Wait For It…
Nuke Watch stretch out and zone in on “Wait For It…”, two side-long jaunts that run their freeform M.O. to their own illogical ends. Following on from recent excursions on The Trilogy Tapes and Impatience, they revel in the long format for Patience, crafting a steady assault of haywire rhythms and swampy, off-world ambience.
On the A-side’s Supersonic Percussion Anagram, a battery of electronic and sampled drums - from window-shaking subs to melodic sub-continent percussion - shift from one bar …
Ornamental Hermits
"Incidentally this cassette confirms a sinister suspicion I've had for a while that the synthetic pan flute is back - fantastic! I feel so lucky for this generous amount of delightfully bubbling synthesizer music from C.D. Noé. A 90 minute exploration of melodic geometry—intricate yet efforless, synthetic yet alive. Melodies ripple, chords shimmer, patterns unfold like a living system in balance. The artist never falls into the sharp-edged maximalism that, at least to my ears, often weighs down …
Bijù Bazar
A Principino whose body dissolves and recomposes perpetually, leads us inside an ancestral tunnel, layered like a bazaar, for just 21 minutes. At the stroke of the 18th minute the light goes off and comes on intermittently marked by the rhythm of Bingo Bongo. From the darkness crawls an ignoble spirit with stocky features with a guttural voice leads us astray to the gates of the gulf. The air suddenly becomes warm, the current dilates. The internal whistle of the bowels resounds from the deepest…
Vol. 1
*70 copies limited edition* Guilherme Granado & Bruno Abdala Unite in Filhos, a long-awaited collaboration between the two Brazilian musicians. After years of friendship and sporadic live collaborations, Granado (São Paulo) and Abdala (Goiânia) have finally brought their creative synergy into a full-fledged project. Despite the geographical distance, a collaboration was inevitable — and now, it has become a reality.
The creative process moved swiftly once the exchange of ideas and files began. W…
Bombolla
*100 copies limited release.* J.G.G. began making music under this name in 2013, after a dream in which he discovered a melody capable of bringing about the end of the world. That dream led to his first album, Intentos, released on cassette in 2014 and later on vinyl in 2015. He has since continued producing music and releasing it through his own label (Ediciones Populares), as well as through other labels in Spain (Discos Mascarpone, Discos Walden), in Europe (Cut Surface, Schamoni Musik, Tonal…
Sexy Tears
'Sexy Tears' is a bold departure from Tristanne's (fka Tristan) critically acclaimed pop-jazz debut Wellif and lets you veer into uncharted territory, from the first tone, the bittersweet and haunting violin tones fade in on opener 'Steady Mouth'. In a split second, Tristanne lets you vanish in a dazzling matrix deep down a rabbit hole, a place where Piero Umiliani's 70s sleazy giallo era sensually resonates with Oneothrix Point Never goldwave frequencies. With a whisper of panting tension, her …
Ambientale
Collector, seeker and storyteller Charles Bals brings his curatorial finesse to Hamburg's Bureau B with 'Ambientale', a journey into otherworldly sounds from the years 1983 - 2000. Drifting effortlessly between digital exoticism, mellow fusion, new age groove and library electronics, the pieces range from largely obscure to utterly un-google-able, and coalesce into a stunning soundtrack to tranquil seas, desert sand and starlit skies. Cinematic & enigmatic, 'Ambientale' is a stranger you've only…
Medicine Compilation From The Quiet Lodge
Double LP edition. A classic from Haruomi Hosono’s late ’80s and ’90s abstract electronica period, Medicine Compilation From The Quiet Lodge is a sublimely inviting ambient album with touches of acid house, downtempo pop, and ethereal trip-hop. Standout “Laughter Meditation” opens up the album with gorgeous zither and kalimba from Laraaji, a peaceful 4-to-the-floor beat, and spoken word. Medicine Compilation from the Quiet Lodge features ultimate ambient music that invites listeners to another w…
The Tale Of Genji
Another favorite from the Haromi Hosono canon. This was the score for the first animated adaptation of The Tale of Genji, a sprawling piece of 11th century literature written by noblewoman Shikibu Murasaki, considered by many to be the first modern novel in recorded history. (Isao Tomita later write his own symphonic adaptation of the story.) The anime was directed by Gisaburō Sugii, and while it only covers a small part of the epic storyline, the score is highly ambitious.
Unlike much of Hosono…
