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…
L'Empire Des Sons
An elusive cult gem resurfaces through Glossy Mistakes. Originally released in 1986, L'Empire Des Sons is an otherworldly blend of synth pop, folk experimentation, and cinematic percussive layers-dreamlike, poetic, and wildly ahead of its time. L'Empire Des Sons was a fleeting yet powerful transmission from the fringes of the French underground-an album that blurred genre lines and evaded easy classification. Fusing experimental folk, lo-fi synth pop, and avant-garde textures, the record exists …
Dead Right
Officer!, an English interjection used to address a police officer, a "bobby" in London, to ask for directions, information, or help. And perhaps, since the 1980s, this word might have taken on a certain authority, aggression, with several exclamation points against these increasingly repressive police forces, under the yoke of the various political regimes of the English right wing (the Torries), an era begun by Mrs. Thatcher, the unstoppable Margaret, who left her mark on her time, her society…
S/T
2025 stock We're not exactly fans of the super group concept, but we sometimes enjoy providing soups like this. Angélica Salvi, Ece Canli, João Pais Filipe and Pedro Augusto are four musicians and composers who have followed, in parallel, an important national and international path in the fields of experimental music, electronics and sound research. All with recently released albums, the connections they have established multiply between collaborations and co-editions but never in this close wa…
Dragonflies With Birds And Snake
2025 stock This Lovers & Lollypops’ brand new release was born out of an invitation from Curtas of Vila do Conde to Black Bombaim and João Pais Filipe to provide the soundtrack of “Dragonflies with Birds and Snake“, a film by Wolfgang Lehmann.
V1/V2
Samara Lubelski crafts intricate, fragile sonic worlds—simultaneously delicate and chaotic. Her music explores creation, destruction, and liminality, evoking alien yet lyrical landscapes where every gesture births its opposite, forever shifting between presence and disappearance.
Ilhan Ersahin's Istanbul Sessions
The 7-inch single from "Istanbul Sessions" by Ilhan Ersahin captures the dynamic spirit of contemporary jazz fused with the rich musical heritage of Istanbul. Led by saxophonist, composer, and producer Ilhan Ersahin, this release showcases his signature blend of strong, melodic horn lines and expressive solos, supported by a powerful ensemble. The music on this single reflects both polished studio craftsmanship and the vibrant, exploratory energy that defines Ersahin’s Istanbul Sessions project,…
Flickers At The Station
2025 stock There are experimental musicians that know how to well craft the best of pop music, and there are pop musicians that know how to experiment at upper echelons of instinct. Samara Lubelski is both of these musicians in one. It may be a bold statement, but yes, it is true, every word. Her breadth of experience in both of the otherworldly sides of these spheres grants her an enlightened gift in song writing. It is elegant and transporting, and it coalesces in that golden new age of purple…
Rosa di Luce
When you’re immersed into something you never actually realize if the essence will project as bright as the efforts, as deep as the process and as loud as the intentions. WOW, the Roma Est duo of China and Leo Non, have never had to create magic or delve into mystique along their meandering path, it’s just been a long solemn wait for what life throws at them and actually sticks. Cause and reaction, because the essence is quietly there when the clamour fades away. Their new album ‘Rosa di Luce’ i…
Carnival Squatters
At the beginning of 2024 I found myself on a trip up to North-West with my fellows Virginia and David (of Jooklo fame) in their legendary green Scudo van. I was ready for whatever adventure and trying to up-lift my friends from an uncomfortable situation they had at that time in a small town of the Ruhrgebiet named Moers, where they were temporarily based. The mood of the road that week was of rebellion, feeling of fixing injustice, and consequently the strenghtening of belief in underground bro…
A New Astronomy
2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A N…
Tales of Fear Will Forgive Me
This tape is an edit of Emiliano Maggi's live performance at Villa Lontana on 22 November 2022. It includes selected tapes from the artist's personal archive, vocals and acoustic instruments played live by Emiliano Maggi. The title comes from an essay by Clarice Lispector published in the Jornal do Brasil in 1967.
Hoshi
Hoshi is the 7th album by the worldly Kaakinmaa based sound producer Tomutonttu. This compositional endeavour began with foggy intuitions about freed people in swings, house plants in hanging baskets and people being brought up by wild monkeys. Tomutonttu has been dealing with questions perhaps romantic by nature. Maybe my songs are farming music after all? What does my computer think about my music? Did electricity smell different in the 1980s compared to now? Other smells that could be related…
La Lune
*2025 stock* Improvised blues indus bruitist cabaret and other sonic adventures. 300mA was born in 2004 from the spontaneous artistic union (still going strong 20 years on) of JF Plomb and Damien Grange. 300mA is injected into electroacoustic devices involving the striking, wriggling or squeaking contact of copper wires, springs, elastics and the like, while motor-driven machines are guided in their metallic percussion by Jean François Plomb (Gianfranco Piombo, Pied Gauche, Super Meilleur, Sklar…
Locus
300 copies. Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joach…
Sun Eaters
"Chicago-based composer, improviser, multi-media artist and underground legend, Rob Mazurek, joins forces with modular-synth maestro and light magician, Alberto Novello for a blacklight invocation that hurls us out into new and uncharted sound-dimensions.
Born of a chance encounter, Alberto Novello and Rob Mazurek's improvised collaboration, Sun Eaters, was recorded in a single afternoon at Dobialab, an experimental artist run space in Northern Italy. Alberto provided a loose rythmic and timbral…
Age
Quickly on the heels of their debut, Cuneiform Tabs return with Age, an LP that takes a massive leap forward in both melodic sensibilities and inventiveness. Bathed in late night psychedelia and the looping repetition of a drone sample, the group's experimental penchants remain, yet this time wrapped around tunes too sweet to be denied. In pulling back a little of the crackle and haze that made their first album so inviting, the Tabs have revealed more of their pop instincts. The overall effect …
Fairy Tales
A delightful blend of enchanting melodies, virtuosic musicianship and boundless creativity. This remarkable album, originally released in 1979 features an all-star lineup of artists brought together by talent of Mother Gong's Gilli Smyth. Renowned for her work with Gong, Smyth’s unique vocal stylings—the ethereal "space whisper"—lead the way on this otherworldly journey.
Joined by her esteemed collaborators, including Nik Turner from Hawkwind and other masterful musicians such as flutist Didier …
