Motorcycles and Cherry Wind
Isik Kural’s Motorcycles and Cherry Wind is a sonic travelogue of stories waiting and wanting to be told, of seekers passing through a loop of time as they become witnesses to the glories of the ancient ruins. The album holds sounds of timeless quality—like inherited folklore, draped with secondhand nostalgia—taking the shape of whoever is eager enough to claim it as their own. Rich and full of character like the dusty mystery of an archeological site, Kural whispers to the living and the long g…
Strewn with Crimson
Wil Bolton’s forthcoming album, Strewn with Crimson, is an evocative sonic portrait of East London’s Lea Valley. Shaped by the region's wetlands, marshes, and industrial edgelands, the project weaves together site-specific field recordings, found objects, modular synthesis, and processed acoustic instruments. The album’s title draws inspiration from the wild poppy and herb-robert flowers growing across derelict Victorian filter beds, symbolising a complex landscape where rich biodiversity and ec…
Song of the Night Mists
The writer Max Sebald often pondered over the nature of human memory, specifically, how our thoughts and desires - and their results - overlap and mutate over time. In A Place in the Country, he writes of the significance of what see as “similarities, overlaps and coincidences”. Are they the “delusions” of the self and senses, or manifestations of “an order underlying the chaos of human relationships, [...] which lies beyond our comprehension”?
Song of the Night Mists, the new album by post-clas…
Almost Waking

Passing The Cup Of Sorrows
William Basinski's first new album in six years: a single 40-minute piece for solo piano and subtle electronics, inspired by a past-life regression practice and by Morton Feldman.
Allison de Groot & Rich Ruth
Clawhammer banjo meets synthesizers, loops and pedal steel: Allison de Groot and Nashville's Rich Ruth turn a planned solo record into a shared album of cosmic, tender instrumental music.
Portal
Long overdue reissue of the first Windy & Carl album and first ever vinyl pressing. Originally self-released by the duo as a cassette in 1994, Portal set the template for their singular sonic explorations to come.
“…ethereal soundscapes that will transport the listener to other plains of reality.” —Acid Test!
“Carl layers willowy guitar arpeggios, foggy keyboards, and chimes over Windy’s murmured intonations and rippling basswork. Everything sounds fresh and unaffected in the careful hands of th…
Sekalaisia äänityksiä
*100 copies limited edition* A surprise archival LP collecting scattered recordings from across Juho Toivonen’s recent work. Following Kuun Sininen Rinki, Sekalaisia Äänityksiä brings together pieces previously released on small-run compilations, rare physical editions and limited formats to another limited release presented by New Zealand imprint What Lies Beneath.
Side A includes much loved “Peura”, originally released on the Kashual Plastik’s A Mistake By Mistakes compilation, “Kanava 5” fro…

Le Api dell’Invisibile
Four decades after Prati Bagnati del Monte Analogo, Francesco Messina returns to his hundred-year-old Schimmel piano for seven pieces of hazy drone and ambient minimalism, written with no deadlines after playing that 1979 album live in Milan.
The Loa Of Music + Urban And Tribal Portraits
Special Bundle: Roberto Musci's The Loa Of Music (2LP, silver vinyl) and Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta's Urban And Tribal Portraits (LP, clear vinyl), both from Soave in new limited pressings of 200 copies each.
Outside Italy, Roberto Musci's name circulated for decades among a small number of collectors and almost no one else. That changed in 2016, when Music From Memory issued Tower Of Silence, a double LP gathering three decades of his work: hunting horns, gongs and strings brought back fr…
The Loa Of Music
Italian experimental music is notoriously resistant to definition and location. If ever there was an object to encapsulate the spirit of that movement, it is the composer and musician Roberto Musci’s debut album from 1984 - The Loa Of Music. Recorded after a decade traveling the world - drifting between African, Indian, and the Near & Far East - studying music, making field recordings, and collecting instruments, not only is it a perfect culmination of such an experience, but a lens into the rig…
Will to Love
Ylang Ylang’s Will to Love suggests both a challenge and a determination simultaneously. What does it actually take to love? Amidst the inherent contradictions of the self and the world around us, how do we come back to the foundation of love? The songs on this album sit in that place of friction: stillness and action, fear and desire, poison and medicine, reluctance and momentum, the pull to protect and the pull to stay open. You can look at the process Catherine Debard undertook in recording W…
Pathless Path
By the end of the 1960s, Charles Lloyd was one of the biggest names in jazz. His quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette reached far beyond the usual jazz audience, while Forest Flower became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. In 1970, at the height of his career, Lloyd disbanded the quartet and withdrew to Big Sur. He continued to make records from time to time, but largely disappeared from the jazz scene while following a more inward and spiritual pa…
House with a Curse
Scottish composers Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman are back with a new collaborative soundtrack album, 'House With A Curse'.
Spectacles for Tribuffalos
First reissue and first vinyl edition of the 1995 album on which Rita Marley sings songs by Ignacio Scola and Gregorio Paniagua, sophisticated experimental pop rooted in soul and Jamaican music, with a side of remixes by Suso Sáiz.
Ad Fontes
*300 copies limited edition* The first Af Ursin album in a decade, this release features extraordinary Belgian vocalist and performer Bénédicte Davin. Ad Fontes is a personal response to the fractured reality of our time. Created in the wake of visible social decay, manipulation, and institutional control, the album serves as a sonic mirror to an era defined by corruption and systemic failure. Instead of preaching political manifestos or claiming to have answers, this work is an intimate persona…
