SIC
On SIC, Nurse With Wound and Aranos construct a cold, roaring ambient symphony from metallic percussion, numbing drones and disembodied voices. Long unavailable on vinyl, this edition restores a quietly menacing work where sound sculpture and slow-mo…
Sumptuous Branching
* Edition of 100 copies * Chant is the starting point. Not chant as decoration or as a mood, but late medieval chant as a compositional problem, taken up by someone working alone with a bass clarinet, a piccolo, her own voice and a rack of analogue e…
Ys
Joanna Newsom's 2006 masterpiece returns on double LP: five sprawling songs where harp and voice meet Van Dyke Parks' orchestral grandeur, recorded by Steve Albini, mixed by Jim O'Rourke. Named for a drowned Breton city, Ys remains overwhelming
Issue 88 (Magazine)
New issue of Audion, the magazine edited by Alan Freeman for Ultima Thule, printed in 60 copies. The cover article covers Magma from 1996 to 2026, thirty years since the band came back to activity, and runs alongside the second part of the beginner's…
Dalok
*300 copies limited edition* Adela Mede & Štefan Szabó never set out to make an album. United by their Slovak-Hungarian heritage and a deep love for folk music, they initially started meeting weekly to sing... just sing. Both coming from very differe…
Lighthouse
Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring’s return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin’s fractured texts conjure Folkestone’s haunted coastline—Vikings, the Morgawr, a fad…
Further Explorations
Huge Tip! Further Explorations follows on from Gentle Fire’s 3CD retrospective box set Explorations, released in 2020. These new archive recordings came to light in the process of unearthing the tapes for the 4CD box set by their fellow Stockhausen c…
Window Left Open
*300 copies limited edition* Keith Freund’s music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On “Window Left Open,” spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone l…
The Swamp Live
The Swamp’ is a get-to-know-you party where furniture is broken, wine glasses are smashed and walls are defaced with graffiti, but the living room remains more beautiful than the night before. The album is the first meeting between vocalist Maja S. K…

Epic Sound Battles Chapter One
Here’s a monster of its own. Not to be confused with Trevor Jackson early 2000 project (even if the british producer has obviously been informed by post-punk, dub, post-industrial and the likes) Playgroup was more than anything a collective, based so…
Hocketus
Hocketus is a new album for violin, cello, and electronics by Gage Salnikowski and Nathan Krahn. Built around a series of original MaxMSP patches, each piece creates a different relationship between the performers. Sometimes the electronics force one…
Cooked
On Cooked, Oren Ambarchi folds his all‑star studio jam aesthetic into something gloriously unhinged. Two side‑long epics twist piano ripples, synthetic “voices,” mutant trumpet tones, electric Miles haze and digital pyrotechnics into a foot‑tapping, …
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 sk…
Live 79-81
You can recall John Lurie from his amazing performances in Jim Jarmusch ‘Permanente Vacation’ or ‘Stranger Than Paradise’ (even his cameo in Paris, Texas and Desperately Seeking Susan), but the long & tall man from Minneapolis is essentially an outst…
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 distrib…
Gwethilu: Songs For The Dark Lake
On Gwethilu: Songs For The Dark Lake, Timoteo Carbone Hansson builds an otherworldly song‑cycle where experimental timbres, early‑medieval polyphony and Nordic folk roots swirl together into slow, haunted rituals of rhythm and drone.
God Spill
On God Spill, Victoria Mingot drags folk guitar through faulty circuitry and hissed devotion, stacking rough improvisations, blurred vocals and glitched drones into a slow, translucent act of repair where presence and disappearance keep trading place…
The Great Learning
Limited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl. One of the most quietly radical entries in Deutsche Grammophon's…
