If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena
*500 copies limited edition* After more than four years in the works, I am beyond elated to announce the release of ballastnvp067: The Hafler Trio: If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena (2 x CD, DVD, cards, and enamel pin in custom fabricated box). I originally released If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena in 2005 as a vinyl record, and it didn’t go off without a hitch or two. (In the end, I played almost every copy prior to sending it to a customer or dist…
The Palm Leaves of Victory / Audio Letter to Mitch Meyers
The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …

Canvas on Which It Is Impossible to Paint
On Canvas on Which It Is Impossible to Paint, Tungu and Hui-Chun Lin stretch improvisation to the brink of impossibility. Lin’s fiercely physical cello dialogues with Senchuk’s cut‑tape, bass and environmental ghosts, while Makigami Koichi’s voice skews the frame further, turning the duo’s third chapter into a volatile, detail‑rich sonic palimpsest.
The Fullness of a House
On The Fullness of a House, Nial Morgan turns cheap fans, glasses and wood into a nervous, breathing architecture of sound. Domestic surfaces vibrate, stall and shimmer, yielding a quietly gripping electroacoustic diary where technical fatigue, spatial resonance and emotional ambiguity are held in fragile equilibrium.

The most recent album by Vrouw! The hand-picked tracks comefrom improvised recording sessions in which a fox spirit watches over the web of voices and sounds.
Five voices, five languages, one attitude: the all-female-collective Vrouw! comes from Berlin – and their music refuses any origin. The musicians form a network of noises, voice and structure from improvised material. Amplified everyday objects, self-made "microphone hats" and a bass that holds everything together - the result is a sound b…
Stilla Dagar, Stilla Nätter/Stille Dage, Stille Naetter
*200 copies limited edition* Swedish-Danish collab album of lush, low key new age/ambient DIY gold, based mainly on synth, piano, saxophone, spoken word and field recordings. Marvelous peak summer music. A private press style/no label release distributed by Discreet Music.
With the released LP “Stilla Dagar, Stilla Nätter / Stille Dage, Stille Naetter Limited Edition,” the split release by Gustaf Dicksson, Post‑Tragic, Sonja Labianca, and Frida Johanne takes the next step in their creativit…
Live at Relais Biardo
Smittness enjoys playing live. Recorded in Paris in April 2026, this album brings together songs and fragments written between 2017 and 2026. It holds the fragile charm of live performance: a voice that might break, a word that might slip, a moment that only exists because people gathered in the same room to listen. For smittness, whose songs often live somewhere between promise, memory and hesitation, a live album feels like the most fitting first physical release – a small document of somethin…
Fading Pictures
*2026 stockn* Last time, RLW (Ralf Wehowsky—active years ago on P16.D4 and since then releasing a largely uncategorizable brand of noise music across numerous publications) thrilled us on these pages with his album Satanic Inventions. Now, again on Stephen Meixner’s label Black Rose Recordings, the similarly conceptually dense album Fading Pictures is released.
In the liner notes, Wehowsky describes the close connection between electroacoustics and Cinéma L’Oreille. He understands electroacousti…
Furafauna
Furafauna is the culmination of three years of work by Thorsten Soltau (who sometimes works under the name Femurl, with both names attributed to this album). Consisting of four pieces and two remixes, one by Troum and one by Sewicide, he dabbles in a wide variety of mostly (but not exclusively) electronic structures. Elements of abstract noise, glitching digital, and traditional composition all are present at various points, culminating in a dense and at times challenging but engaging album.
Heresy Museum
Nice Music presents, from the artist well-known in drastic DIY thrills circles as People Skills, the debut release under the endonym S.B.A. (or Samael B. Aaens). Shotput through a career of recordings for prestigious underground pillars - Siltbreeze, Blackest Ever Black, Kashual Plastik, Altered States Tapes, Regional Bears and I Dischi Del Barone, yet for the first time ever, S.B.A. touches home, unleashing a series of recordings using his distant glowing beacon 'Heresy Museum' as the pivot poi…
Bing Industries
"Impassable moments lingering in the present,” utters Beth Robertson, the soft spoken voice cresting over a jostle of harmonics, creaks and knocks. “Existing just after us but before her. Everything lingers.” It’s inevitable that a record inspired by gigantic mounds of waste should be rich in the residue of the past, yet it’s striking to hear these atmospheres crackle with future-facing anticipation. Out of the sounds salvaged and recycled from previous performances at Tokoro Studio, we hear all…
Wildnis
During numerous sessions in their own Inkiek studio in Unna/Germany and a residency in Montoriol/France in 2025, Klangwart have created their new work „Wildnis“ („wilderness“), inviting Sébastien Del Grande to add tenor and alto saxophone, drums, marimba and other various percussion instruments to their electronic textures. Catalan composer and performer Ivan Chin aka Ivan Telefunken also participated in the recording sessions by contributing to a Catalan version of Swiss group Grauzone's famous…

Nebular
Created by correspondence between Christchurch and London, Nebular pairs Roy Montgomery's decaying post-rock, folk and drone guitar with Martha Skye Murphy's wordless, glossolalic voice. Stems traded by email at nocturnal hours, raw emotion launched into a time capsule for the stars.
Live at the Old Church
Documentation of a live solo performance at the Old Church, Stoke Newington on May 29th 2026, for the Ukrainian label and promoter ШЩЦ [shshchts]'s London showcase.
Sharper Than A Needle
Sharper Than A Needle unfolds as a sound space where textile machines transform into instruments. Silky basslines, delicate thread-like melodies, and a pulsating sewing machine synthesizer reveal surprising new tonal colors between noise, sound art, and experimental pop, as every movement of needles and every turn of spools takes on musical meaning. The project was initiated by Stephanie Müller and Klaus Erika Dietl, known for work such as Sewicide and beißpony, and for the international collect…
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…
Bloood 2
Big Tip! LP version. Edition of 250 copies. Includes a download code with the album and the short film Callas.
00 Action Group is the loose New York collective run by J. Frivaldi (Joe Frivaldi), the same Frivaldi who co-produces the Abasement concert series at Artists Space and plays in ElectroPutas with Jaiko Suzuki and Akio Mokuno. Bloood 2 is the group's second record, five years after the double cassette Numero 1 on Reality Delay, and the first vinyl release on New Dracula Theater, the artis…
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…
