Ritual of Light
"Ritual of Light" is the first full length from Descending Pharaohs. Recorded in mid-2022, it marks the band in its first year as a trio with a sound that is mainly implemented by the conventions of guitar, bass, and drums and enhanced by rich textures created by Turkish saz-baglama, greek tzoura, and oud as well as drone-driven electronics. Their influences run deep in the realms of 70s electric Arabic/Anatolian, spiritual jazz, and krautrock, but they project these influences towards a modern …
Dis Qu't'as Tort
*300 copies limited edition* "Dis qu’t’as tort" is the latest venture from Tagubu (Denis Tagu, formerly of Hellebore, Look De Bouk, and Toupidek Limonade), realised in collaboration with Klimperei (Christophe Petchanatz, known for his work with Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, and Palo Alto, among others). The album represents a creative response to the increasing prevalence of autocracies and dictatorships across the globe, reflecting a world that is not simply changing, but rather derailing.

Ahura
Portland Oregon's Rollerball are the very definition of a cult band.

Live
Jealousy Party rapes the suggestions of the free music, avant-rock, the disturbed and unsociable electronics, squirts of songs, saxs, laptop and cds in flames and histrionic vocal manipulations. The mutant project expresses with delirium and destructured transparency the synthesis among creative abstractism, expressive urgency, tragic avant-gardism, theatricality and punk attitude.
La Nouvelle Européenne Et Autres Territoires Affranchis Politiquement Trash
*100 copies limited edition* « In 2025, can we still be interested in and write about the music of a band of French musicians, very “underground” who were very young at the time in the early 1970s? » writes Xavier Béal at the opening of his review of Ian Thompson's brand new book "Synths, Sax & Situationists (The French Musical Underground 1968-1978)" in the webzine Rythmes Croisés (published on October 24, 2025).

Sometimes Puns Are a Sign of a Damaged Brain
Edition of 300. One fine evening in Rotterdam, after witnessing him walking around in a circle with a stick for half-an-hour, Lukas Simonis asked Dominic Robertson (aka Ergo Phizmiz) to join him in a rapid-fire songwriting bonanza. Many songs resulted, tunes about mermaids, mistakes, compost manufacture, celebrity perverts, geometry, and so on. Lukas is a guitar wizard and a king in the world of weirdoes. Dominic is just... a weirdo, but he is England's greatest entertainer, so that's ok. Make w…
