A Mistake by Mistakes
*Coming in a hand made & screen printed box* Hey, did I ever tell you about that time when things are going ok. When the music is never over, and stars are crushing down on you. Since I was little, I come to this music store every chance I got. I sneak in through the alley. I still make this trip a lot. Some weeks ago, during a trip, they played this “A Mistake by Mistakes” cassette tape compilation, out on that enigmatic Berlin, Neukölln based label Kashual Plastik. Sick folk-not-folk-modern-fo…
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…
Du Formol Orgonal
*300 copies limited edition* The powdered-nosed Escampette, a devil, steps out of the reserve he once assigned himself with the complicity of the warder. In his new recipe book he deciphers for us several ways of inhabiting the night, that refuge running beneath the day, and, by brushing it, draws the map of paths winding between woods and thickets where strange trumpets grow. It is in their coppery foliage that he cools the fire of his cheeks.
In constant molt, the devil knows when and how to t…
Smokes and mirrors
Tip! "City Dragon is Max Kaario, who is part of different bands such as Altersgruppe, Teenage God, ski attic etc. Canadian, he has lived in Paris for more than ten years where he organizes concerts such as cmptrmthmthcs in bars that are always changing and kebab shops sometimes. The first time I saw Max play as City Dragon was at Pauline Perplexe, an artist place in Arcueil where his friends have their studios. He was singing and improvising with a drum toy, and dancing spinning right round a bi…
Remarkable records of a resistless course
Tip! *Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Fen Hollen takes a deep plunge into idiosyncratic samplelooping and poorly done reamping techniques. Small fragments of songs merging with chaotic instrumentals and weird microcassette malfunctions.
Compilation
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A compilation of cassette-recordings made at a summer party, a childhood home and a sundrenched apartment. Musical generosities from a couple of good friends.
Ulykkens Mønt
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Wonderful collaboration between guitar-duo Yngel and author Rasmus Daugbjerg. A chest filled with stories, sounds and songs. About trolls, kings, moons and wolves. About care and disgust, loss and friendship.
Toothpaste For Your Elephant
*250 copies limited edition* Toothpaste For Your Elephant marks the first release for London based Ó Mhaidin. Unfolding over 16 tracks, 3 of which are newly mastered reissues seeing vinyl for the first time, the compilation is born from a love of 80’s underground cassette culture, an homage to late nights spent listening to junked-up Americana, disregarded DIY oddities and neo no-wave.
Featuring contributions from Old Saw, Tarawangsawelas, Kulku, Fiesta En El Vacío, Thorn Wych and more, Ó Mhaidi…
Maja
Philatélie is thrilled to announce the release of Maja, the latest album from the experimental noise project Circle of Shit.
Young Blood
Mysterious, primitive lo-fi ‘pop’ from Swedish enigma Mind Control Hands - was anyone ever meant to hear this?
Something of a needle in a haystack. The depths of the internet are flooded with snippets of information about enigmatic CDrs, often no more than a crusty JPG and a bit of text, if you’re really lucky a single track to listen to. The vast majority are of no interest, but perseverance pays off. Mind Control Hands, originally birthed in the endless sprawl of CD-baby era early 00s micro…
Alyssa
*300 copies limited edition. Black sleeves with paste-on artwork and a postcard* Debut LP from a new Gothenburg duo consisting of Irma Krook (Makthaverskan) and Dan Johansson (Sewer Election). Alyssa takes elements from Irmas Military Arms 12" released a few years ago and combines it with the mind expanding synth stuff Dan has explored with the Psychic Panorama recordings recently. Adding a few larger-than-life piano bangers and whatnot, the result is a dreamy and mesmerizing night time album …

Start Soft
*Limited edition of 100 copies* In 2017, Oli Heffernan took to the stage in Dundee to play bass for Damo Suzuki, the legendary former frontman of Can. Backed by a one-off ensemble featuring Griff (Interrobang / Regular Fries), Harry (Chumbawamba) and E-Da (Boredoms), the group walked on with no rehearsal and no plan. Suzuki offered a single instruction — “start soft” — and the set unfolded from there.
Like all of Suzuki’s performances, the music was entirely improvised: tense yet fluid, explorat…
In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music
On In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music, Dagmar Zuniga threads five years of Tascam‑4‑track recordings into a porous, tape‑hazed songbook: fragile transmissions where harmony, hiss and fingertip detail make lo‑fi feel widescreen.

The Moth
"A friend of mine told me he had visited the place that Cancer House live and record. He said they jammed together all afternoon. In the moment, in the zone so to speak, he became more and more convinced that what they were making together was the best music he had ever been involved with. As the afternoon drifted by, second by revelatory second, he began making grandiose plans to release the recording. By the time it was dark outside the windows he imagined it as a future lost classic, a key li…
Den falmede dag
A new year, some fresh Kashual Plastik. Absolute organic. The campfire is burning, FM radio in the air, with not so frequent frequencies. Gently waiting for the flood that brings no water. An accordion weeps, an organ cries, sweet acoustic guitar chords, a dancing piano, a shy voice, singing intimate stories. Sacred white noise in the off. Bits of found sounds in the accounts. Reverbs reversing. All in happiness, so full of melancholy. Dream music for open-eyed musers. Right from the Scandinavia…
Taivaskanava
Taivaskanava by Juho Toivonen. Originally released as a cassette on Grapefruit Records, now getting repressed on cd. Quiet, drifting pieces for late hours, small sounds and open space, carrying the same fragile mood as the original tape. original artwork by Arsi Keva. features spoken words by joshua burkett and plunderphonics rip-off from this kind of punishment. good luck spotting it.
“Solo work by this Finnish musician, who also runs the Akti label. Toivonen’s music is simultaneously rural and…
