Dumb Tangerine Dream
Rounding out the first twenty releases on the label, right back where we started, Krim Kram HQ all-time favs, the inimitable Bren't Lewiis Ensemble. Dumb Tangerine Dream collects four 3" CDRs originally released during those apocalyptic years of 2019 to 2021 in micro editions of 25 copies each. No longer only available to the die-hard freaks and doomsday cultists, now ripe for the masses.
Dumb Tangerine Dream presents a somewhat different side to the group from that of Hand Signals, consisting o…
Lava Love
Recorded during a residency in Tenerife powered by Keroxen Festival and Discrepant back in 2020 - amidst the pandemic, no less -, the duo of Carlos Godinho and Mestre André return after their 'Mãe D'Água' debut on Sucata Tapes and an entry on Keroxen's Aquapelago Series through a split with tropical druids Lagoss. Mostly captured in performance through a quadraphonic system placed inside a huge disused fuel tank, with a few tracks recorded out in the open throughout the island, 'Lava Love' evoke…
Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte
Tip! Nærværet is a Scandinavian collaboration by Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Andreas Barsleth (Jordmenneske). If you are familiar with their individual works, you’ll know they operate on the same wavelength. On ’Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte’, they’ve created something truly beautiful: serene landscapes of tangible presence. Comforting sounds, gathered from rural surroundings blend seamlessly with restrained, still instrumentation. These elements are manipulated with tapes and l…
Swing Low
Modern Obscure Music is proud to present Pierre Bastien & DJ Low's “Swing Low”, a work that fuses the poetic inventiveness of Pierre Bastien with the visionary legacy of the late DJ Low (Tom Deweerdt), a central figure in Belgian independent music and founder of the influential Lowlands label. This album, which interweaves memory and experimentation, represents Bastien's debut on the Barcelona label's catalog and a testament to the creative bond between the two artists. The album, composed of se…
Tourne-Disque
300 copies limited edition A siren sounds. Is it the keel coming to free the worker from her harsh task? Or the call of an iron whale inviting us to set sail for the depths? End of work, beginning of the dream: the grooves here will not be the fruit of plowing but moving reliefs to be explored. Because if there is indeed a paradoxical guide capable of activating the levers of such a liberation of esgourdes, by playing at will with the effects of sliding between the concrete and the abstract, the…
Mind How You Go

Mind How You Go is an alchemical distillation of the sound of Public Information Films. Spooky, catchy and witty
This new album length version of Mind How You Go includes four n…

Wovenland 3
"Wovenland became a band. But we never do live shows. Our band activities are mainly editing in a studio. Our goal is to focus on acoustic experiments. No more and no less. We have been active for a total of about 10 days, including meetings, in 7 years. We are now disbanding." - Toshiya Tsunoda & Taku Unami
The Last We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
*150 copies limited edition* "[...]Ansgar Wilken uses an arsenal of sounds that is as simple as it is far-reaching, including objects and utensils whose inherent sounds sometimes sound almost computer-generated. Whether (or where and how what kind of) electronics are used is often difficult to determine, if only because the musician himself is somewhat electrified and can unexpectedly fall into machine rhythms while playing. Wilken's clapping opens up musical worlds in which, instead of virtuosi…
Public Detail
*75 copies limited edition* Operating since the late 2010s, Vienna-based sound artist the concept horse has quietly amassed a distinctive and diverse discography, drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of musique concrète, noise, plunderphonics, microsound, and free improvisation. “Public Detail” follows releases on labels such as Falt and czaszka [rec.], as well as the artist’s own eë editions, and neatly encapsulates the polyglottic breadth of the project. Patinaed piano loops and wistfu…
Selected Ambient & ASMR Works 2001-2003
An extremely prolific artist, whose work encompasses composition, opera, theater, radio plays, film or performance, Ergo Phizmiz returns in due time to the Discrepant fold long after his 'Two Quartets' and 'Disco Carousel' - under his given DW Robertson name - albums. A purveyor of the Creative Commons rights, Phizmiz has been deploying much of his work on the ever expanding Free Music Archive directed by WFMU since the early 2000's, creating a sprawling and defiant body of work that defies give…
Bring forth the moon
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A collaboration between accordionist K. Vidar, recorded and edited by J. Folke with onset from Vidar's solo accordion concert in a water tower in Brønshøj.

Devonanon
10 years after their debut, City Of All Times audio-visual enquirers John B McKenna and Richard Greenan re-appear as Devonanon, to share the findings of a decade-long sonic experiment. Like its predecessor, Richard & John is a living, breathing collection of field recordings and compositions, gathered gradually from remote corners of the pair's lives. Familiar waypoints - interwoven microtonal synths, regurgitated live performances, polite whispering, and the gurgling hum of vehicles (land and s…
Pollen & Plancton
*80 copies limited edition* This music is the soundtrack to the public show Pollen & Plancton, created in 2020 by the Andrea Cavale company, under the direction of Anne Careil. Anne is already very present on the label as a member of Rien Virgule and through her visuals for many of the covers. Here she is responsible for the staging and costumes.
Pollen & Plancton is the story of Kiki and her friends, young aquatic creatures who share an immoderate taste for play, dance and underwater exploratio…
rpm
With rpm, we wanted to join some of the dots of Philip Jeck's life and involve many other collaborators, early and more recent. Fennesz was a friend and kindred spirit on the same label. Claire M Singer formed a new chemistry and partnership and although their plans must now take a different form, Mary found some sketches Philip had laid out using Claire's organ recordings, for further development. Faith Coloccia & Philip had already released Stardust on Touch in 2021. Their live performance tog…
Fatbergs
"Rubbish Music embody the elevating and transformative action of imaginative involvement with discarded materials. In the process they give audible expression to our ability to resist pessimistic resignation and to realise creative redeployment. Long may they recycle!” — The Wire
Persistence of Sound presents the second album by Rubbish Music (Kate Carr and Iain Chambers), the duo upcycling waste into immersive electroacoustic music. “As we go about our daily lives, malodorous monsters are const…
Rebelòt
Angelo Bignamini is a musician and sound artist from Italy. His musical research focuses its attention on the relationship between sound and its deterioration. For this purpose he uses analogue devices (especially tape recorders and feedback) as the main tools for manipulating digital sound. He recently returned to the acoustic guitar as an implement for inner investigation through improvisation on open tunings. His works are published by independent labels all around the world. Angelo Bignamini…

Mondo Skull
*17 copies limited edition* L3NR$ is a game of hide and seek. A furious zig zag ride through dimensions, harmonies and sounds. Born from a wide arsenal of sources, kaleidoscopic tape cutups and self build electronic instruments to more drone heavy passages played on the majestic 3 meter high. Spectral organ, secretly kept in a inconspicuous kitchen in Berlin Neukölln. It is nothing but a magical trip to the unknown - not for the faint-hearted.
Modfase
Crumbling tape loops, broken glass sounds, micro-cassette feedback and songs for piano, voice and guitar sit side by side on this uniquely tender release by Danish artist Franciska. Submitted to the label on a cassette sent via mail with typewritten credits, 'Modfase' is masterfully restrained, constructed with a care and gentleness that's hard to find in today's "ambient" and "experimental" music circles. Each side contains multiple pieces which quickly shift between musique concrete, tape musi…
