Even Colder Spring
Black Truffle is pleased to present Even Colder Spring, the latest release from the mysterious and wildly prolific Cities Aviv (a.k.a. Wilbert Gavin Mays, who also records as African-American Sound Recordings), a rare appearance from the artist outside his own D.O.T. Audio Arts label. For over a decade, Cities Aviv has twisted hip-hop conventions into the most skewed and splayed forms, layering and lacerating twitching loops, extreme production techniques and his mercurial vocal stylings into he…

Fancy cannot cheat
Ten arrangements, dialogues, compositions. Direct, diverse, dating you quietly, never naming the act. They arrive on tape, twisted sided. Shaped by Belgian drummer and sonic wanderer Karen Willems. A mover between scenes. Breaker of frames. Restless in sound. She likes to step into that space, where you can push, strike, remain in motion. Where curiosity earns its name by never staying the same. “Fancy cannot cheat” is title for her latest beat. There is ambient breath. There is classic stretche…

Grapes Of Nothingness
*200 copies limited edition* Waiting is the essence of travel. Patience is its own reward. Two people. A Telecaster guitar with a few effect pedals. A drum machine. An audio interface is connected to a laptop. The ingredients are simple yet effective. But any suggestion of four-track cassette machines and vintage bedsit productions is quickly dispelled by digital dubbiness and refined arrangements. A tail of reversed echos. The crystalline flourish of octave-pitched delays. Riddled hi-hats tickl…

Obscure ouble CD set of bizarre electronic music by visual artist and maverick experimental composer, from 1997.
Tornada
Assembled by Pedro Alves Sousa, Má Estrela is a conjuration of ideas and obsessions around dub, leftfield dance phenomena and the hypnotic potential of urban somnambulance.
Through The Wall
A trickle of audio fragments exchanged between two locked down bedrooms becomes a flood of sound, emotion and connection.
Sùrtum
Massimo Silverio is one of the most distinctive names in the new Italian music scene, carving out a niche within the independent landscape with his unconventional idea of songwriting — influenced by the folklore of Carnia, electronic textures, and a highly personal approach to songwriting.
Surtùm arrives two years after Hrudja (2023), the album that established Silverio as one of the most intriguing emerging artists in Italy, blending the metalinguistic folklore of Sigur Rós, the gothic arrangem…
