Gasping_Sighing_Sobbing
Mega Tip! Between her elaborately conceptual Drag City singer-songwriter albums and celebrated soundtracks for Ryusuke Hamaguchi, in recent years Eiko Ishibashi has quietly self-released a significant body of solo and collaborative work on her Bandcamp page. At times resembling her solo live performances in their organic interweaving of instrumental, electronic, and concrete sounds, each of these less feted online releases offers a snapshot of the experiments always underway at Atelier Eiko. Som…
Columns
*300 copies limited edition* Catholics Against Architecture is the name Chris Connelly has given this project that here collects twelve songs crafted from sonic collages, spoken word, fractured melodies, vocals not far removed from those that David Bowie traded some of his best songs on, rivulets of subdued noise and seemingly random location recordings, tender guitar work, tape manipulation and all kinds of other sounds either in between or beyond. Together, these compositions sit outside conve…
Acid Heath
*50 copies limited edition* Concrete Gazebo are a mostly Cambridge (UK)-based collective of musicians who improvise together. They have also been organising the free, open-to-all improvisation nights, Under The Concrete Gazebo, since 2018. The line-up of Concrete Gazebo on recordings is constantly in flux, with players dropping in and out depending on the sessions and others preferring to focus entirely on live performance. All the music released to date, either directly to their Bandcamp or via…
Aguirre Bundle (3LP Bundle)
A three-LP bundle gathering the latest Aguirre reissues from two corners of contemporary folk and experimental music, offered together at a reduced price.
Two of the records belong to Brannten Schnüre, the Würzburg duo of Christian Schoppik and Katie Rich, who have spent more than a decade building a singular world at the borders of dark folk, musique concrète, ambient, and narrative conceptualism. Sommer im Pfirsichhain, the summer panel originally issued in 2015, and Geträumt hab ich vom Marti…
Holzweg
Forest Factory is the duo of fellow nomads Elvin Brandhi and Andreas Trobollowitsch. Each using self-made turntables, sampler and voice to create a unique acoustic repertoire, suffusing computational and organic tonalities. Their vinyl debut Holzweg is a compositional amalgamation of recording sessions made in diverse ecosystems: Auditorium Novecento, Naples (2023), Ruang MES 56, Yogyakarta (2024), and their Japan tour in 2024. Redefining themselves in a range of contexts lends fluidity and plur…
Sommer Im Pfirsichhain
Last copies...Second edition of 500 on transparent red vinyl. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants…
Geträumt Hab Ich Vom Martinszug
Second edition of 500 on transparent green vinyl. The third stanza of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem ‘Dem sonnengott’ evokes a narrator who is tortured by Spleen until slumber makes his childlike gloom disappear with music. Although today’s readers might judge these nineteenth century musings of the Imagination as mere stylistic platitudes, they also still speak beyond the grave as universal truths. A mere two hundred years later, similar anxieties and hopes are still channeled through various art f…
Party Down the Hall
*50 copies limited edition* Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination. Party Down the Hall is their first album - a collaboration built on ethereal narratives, samples and melodies, creating invocations for the modern era.“In an apartment in a big old building. It used to be a hotel where people would stay in order to be healed. No…
Smokes and mirrors
Tip! "City Dragon is Max Kaario, who is part of different bands such as Altersgruppe, Teenage God, ski attic etc. Canadian, he has lived in Paris for more than ten years where he organizes concerts such as cmptrmthmthcs in bars that are always changing and kebab shops sometimes. The first time I saw Max play as City Dragon was at Pauline Perplexe, an artist place in Arcueil where his friends have their studios. He was singing and improvising with a drum toy, and dancing spinning right round a bi…
Volatile Poem
*100 copies limited edition. Each comes with a unique 3D printed logo of the band as well as random inserted sequins/glitter bits* Sucata Tapes present the debut album by I'A'V, a conjuration born from an invitation extended by gnration in Braga to Inês Malheiro, completed by Arianna Casellas and Violeta Azevedo. Three inescapable figures amidst the portuguese scene, whose precious body of work resonates here in ineffable style.
A blessed triangulation of artists, each with a fully formed vision…
The Crystal Suite
On The Crystal Suite, Paul Schütze channels J. G. Ballard’s The Crystal World into slow‑burn electronics and guitar haze, rendering time‑sick landscapes where matter ossifies, light fractures, and contemporary collapse glows with eerie, faceted calm.
Remarkable records of a resistless course
Tip! *Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Fen Hollen takes a deep plunge into idiosyncratic samplelooping and poorly done reamping techniques. Small fragments of songs merging with chaotic instrumentals and weird microcassette malfunctions.
Compilation
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A compilation of cassette-recordings made at a summer party, a childhood home and a sundrenched apartment. Musical generosities from a couple of good friends.
Geometric Reason
On Geometric Reason, Sissy Spacek reroute their long‑running extremism into a jagged strain of musique concrète, splicing voice, electronics and acoustic shards into a volatile collage charged by fire‑displacement, Japanese connections and their enduring taste for rupture.
Electric Garden
On Electric Garden, Sissy Spacek and Smegma blur into a single, unstable organism, trading identities inside a live electro‑acoustic tangle where tape, junk percussion, turntables and guitar debris drift through The Pink House like sentient interference.
Annihilation of Samsara
On Annihilation of Samsara, Attila Csihar, Balázs Pándi and John Wiese converge as a single, shifting organism, dissolving borders between extreme metal, free improvisation and noise into a dense, unstable ritual where sound behaves more like weather than music.
Myrtillus
Finnish multi-instrumentalist Simo Hakalisto makes mosaic music of strings, bowls, bells, reeds, wind, water, and obscure electronics, threaded in subtle currents of color and texture. The title of his latest, Toinen Luonto (Finnish for “second nature”), alludes equally to Shakali’s earthen, tactile soundworld and Hakalisto’s deepening comfort with his craft.
The album’s eight songs feel coaxed as much as composed, a web of resonances set in motion and allowed to simmer, build, or billow. Vibrat…
In the Beginning
On In the Beginning, Gadea scores Ala Nunu’s animated essay on anthropocentrism with a delicately disorienting language: hushed electro‑acoustics, ghosted field recordings and Marina Herlop’s voice tracing fragile halos around three surreal, all‑too‑real stories.
Flood Coil
On Flood Coil, Norwegian artist Kjell Bjorgeengen and noise architect Lasse Marhaug collide flickering electronics and dense signal storms, turning sound into a volatile field of interference where image, electricity and feedback are felt rather than merely perceived.
Asteroid*
*70 copies limited edition* Flung is pleased to present Raphaël Languillat’s Asteroid*, which renders celestial debris and deep-space signals as volatile synthesiser improvisations, released on limited edition cassette, exclusively on Bandcamp. Asteroid* arrives as four transmissions extracted from a self-modulating Korg MS-20 — a closed-circuit system driven by feedback and fracture. What surfaces are compositions as pressure events: ruptured drones, scorched frequencies, and signal debris spil…
