The Portrait You Painted Of Me
2025 stock Orange vinyl (US exclusive). Here we have the third solo LP by London's Alison Cotton, following on previous successes, All Quiet at the Ancient Theatre (FTR 424LP, 2019) and Only Darkness Now (FTR 564LP, 2020). And as with each of Cotton's projects it is a stylistic advance as well as another example of her dark signature sound. Alison's work with bands is well documented by recordings with Saloon, 18th Day of May, Trimdon Grange Explosion, and her current, ecstatic folk/psych duo, T…
Hazy Road
2025 stock Hazy Road is the debut album from Bong Wish, the solo project of Palestinian-American artist Mariam Saleh. Former bassist for beloved garage rock band Fat Creeps, Saleh got her start in the Boston music scene of the early 2010s. While living above a music venue, where she was also employed, she was exposed to a myriad of jazz, psych, and experimental music. In turn, Bong Wish incorporates both the high-energy and distortion of garage alongside kaleidoscopic soundscapes, and folds them…
3
2025 stock "This is the third LP by the duo comprised of Greg Dalton (aka Gary War) and Rob 'Sunburned' Thomas, formerly known as Dalthom, but actually named whatever the pair feel like calling it. Recorded shortly before the disastrous election of 2016, it is partially filled with the darkness, paranoia and creeping dread that filled that time period. But there is also a hefty amount of the druggy, electronic ecstasis for which the duo is known (no matter their handle.) Gary and Rob met when th…
Mirror at Night
Mirror at Night searches the subconscious: Eric Angelo Bessel sculpts a spectral space where ambient resonance, spectral melody, and time-stretched echoes intermingle. The album pulses with memory and hush, summoning nocturnal images that flicker between clarity and dissolution—a twilight walk across the inner landscape.
III
World Of Echo announces the reissue of two remastered albums by Japanese guitarist and songwriter Naoki Zushi, 1988’s Paradise, and 2005’s III. Two classics of Japanese psychedelia, both Paradise and III were originally released on Org Records, the imprint of Shinji Shibayama of acid-folk group Nagisa Ni Te, with whom Zushi has guested on second guitar for decades. Both intimate and expansive, rich with revelatory songwriting and blasted, sky-scouring guitar, these reissues return these albums t…

Running around the Crape Myrtles
Edition of 50 copies. Solo recording by Hideaki Shimada, he also records under the name of Agencement, on several instruments like violin, viola, cello, piano and electronics.

autoReverse
Edition of 70 copies. Another magical stream of consciousness by Ramuntcho Matta on guitar, synth, vocals etc. A spaced out travelogue to the inner circle of the deep diamond through gaps of gaseous walls and flickering transluscent doors with intuitive speech patterns played backwards. Matta’s playful wizardry has illuminated many minds like Brion Gysin, Don Cherry and Eli Medeiros
Zen Experience in Music
Edition of 70 copies. Atmospheric home recordings by conservatoire deviant Valentina Goncharova on electric violin. Tuned and detuned augurs, like bird flights somewhere between written music and improvisation absorbed by waves of meditation echoing Takehisa Kosugi and Tony Conrad reflections in the aether of the zen garden's mind mirror.
Tantric Song Lines: A Hybrid Sutra
Edition of 50 copies. A magical reading from Marilyn Stablein’s recent book Tantric Song Lines: A Hybrid Sutra (Shivastan Press, 2024) which is derived from an ongoing series of poetic spoken, chanted, written and visual narratives that document and celebrate a seven year sojourn in and around the Himalayas to honor cultural, historical, ritual, geographical, environmental and time and place based encounters with people, animals, habitats, myths and spirits who populate those off the grid ancien…
V1/V2 / RRH1
Two sonic extremes united by their dedication to frequency as consciousness-altering substance. Richard Hoffman strips bass down to its molecular essence on "RRH1" - eight meditations where looping patterns create labyrinthine psychedelic potency, each track targeting different anatomical pressure points with teeth-rattling precision.
Samara Lubelski charts the opposite trajectory on "Vol 1 & 2" - constructing delicate violin architectures of "webbed and sugary filigree" before deliberately dism…
Superstitions
Often dark, sometimes repetitive or experimental, sometimes rhythmical and exotic, always based on emotion inducted by the Sound. One could define it as dark age music (as opposite to new age music), a sort of minimal come back to the roots and purity of acoustic sound without the cultural background linked to the 'academic' use of some instruments (for example African senzas are transformed and tuned to sound like Indonesian instruments, sitar or harmonium are used as rhythmical instruments, va…
Touch
With Touch, the Tortoise bandmembers — Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker — harness their collectivist songwriting approach, a slightly anarchistic but resolutely egalitarian process where ideas triumph over ego towards an abstracted muscularity. While there are still excursions into the dusky, elegantly gnarled jazz ambience that flourished on landmark works like Millions Now Living Will Never Die and TNT, Touch is perhaps most remarkable for Tortoise's un…
Malmö 2025
*100 copies limited edition* Documenting a scene? Or creating one? Here is an attempt to present a audio snapshot of whats stirring in the experimental Malmö underground in 2025. Four lengthy tracks from some of the most interesting artists residing in the city.
On side A of this compilation Slug Mass brings us a weeping free jazz ballad that serves as an excellent example of their ongoing mission to reclaim the original definition of the term "post rock", in other words "using rock instrumentat…
Apparition
The Legendary Pink Dots are an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. In 1984 the band moved to Amsterdam, playing with rotating musicians and having, as core members, singer/songwriter/keyboardist Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist Phil Knight aka The Silverman. The band was originally called "One Day..." but subsequently changed the name to The Legendary Pink Dots, apparently inspired by pink dots on certain keys of the band's main recording studio piano. In the 1980s …
Music For Writers
Music for Writers is a wordless collection of pieces meant to accompany thought and inspire another way. It is music made in both stillness and motion, music that listens as much as it speaks. Each track offers a space—open, textured, often slow-moving—where ideas, images, and feelings drift in and out. It's a record I've been thinking about and wanting to make for a long time - my first solo instrumental album. The album was recorded across places—Brooklyn, Berlin, Latvia—using a minimal setup:…
Last Shot At Heaven
When describing the "Last Shot at Heaven" cover art on the Skullflower Bandcamp page, Matthew Bower highlights the ambiguity of the striking photograph of a civilian casualty during the Yugoslavian schism. "Is it ecstatic[?]" he asks of the woman's expression. This, too, is a question one could reasonably ask of any Skullflower album.
Bower and his many cohorts' body of work is full of lengthy compositions that evoke all manner of emotions. Statement records like "IIIrd Gatekeeper", released a y…
Would You Believe
YES, BELIEVE IT! The highly prized Immediate Records treasure finally gets an official worldwide release almost sixty years after the 100 advance promotional copies landed on radio station desks
Charly Records kick-off their Immediate Records 60th Anniversary celebrations with this landmark album by the then teenager, and still little-known, Billy Nicholls.
This cult-status, 12 track album, is drenched in sunshine psychrock and is often cited as Swinging London’s answer to the Beachboys’ masterp…
Auralgraphic Entertainment
The perfect marriage between psychedelia, pop and experimental sounds.
This unique album by Bill Holt, first released in 1974, sounded way ahead of its time and became an international cult classic in the following decades.
A perfect example of what it was called “Head Music” at the time, Dreamies consists of two large suits full of Lennon-esque vocals, sound collages, early electronics and proto-sampling.
Trips
Whisker is a duo consisting of modular synthesist Ben Baker Billington and bassist Andrew Scott Young. These are two space cadets who have emerged from the burned-out basements and sweaty lofts of the midwest noise scene to become leading figures in the Chicago music community. Billington has mastered trippertronics under his Quicksails project and provided tactile drum work to the pivotal Chicago industrial collective ONO, while Young’s bass playing has graced records by Ryley Walker, Circuit d…
