New Arrivals
Gravity
Jazz In Britain is proud to announce the launch of its ‘new music’ imprint Jazz Now, commencing with Eternal Triangle’s first studio recording. Gravity will be available as a download and on CD which includes liner notes from all 3 band members, Trevor Watts, Jamie Harris and Veryan Weston. The album features 10 new compositions by Trevor, all of which have been honed on the live circuit in recent months, so this album has a very much ‘tried and tested’ vibe.
Hypnokaséta
“Hypnokaséta (2020-2021) is a continuous set of 16 pieces for string quartet, improviser (playing cassettes and any instrument) and live electronics. The source material is based on dreams that I had during the first few months of lockdown, April-June 2020. Accounts of these dreams are encoded in the music that is played by the quartet and also encrypted in the sound textures that surround this. The pieces alternate between quartet as the foreground and electronic interludes, where solos or duos…
Selected Tape Works
Compilation of two scarcely-heard tapes self-published during the late 1980s / 90s by late Pennsylvania-based mail artist Mark Moreland. Hermetic cut-ups of private audio letters, radio frequency band shifting, and crude environmental sound assemblages. Gen Ken: "How to write about Mark is tough. I agree he didn't think of himself as an artist and rarely made anything like traditional art in his later years. He had some paintings he made for himself in his room and I am fortunate that he gave me…
Perverted Architect
Stripped-back harsh noise / death industrial from Finland’s underground. Lo-fi production recalls best of 90s noise, fans of Slaughter Productions take note…
Alumina Wrap
Originally released in 1992 and our second C’33’ reissue following last year’s Metallurgi. Alumina Wrap deals also in surreal post-punk compositions but with more of a tribal ambient / progressive electronic leaning. Side B’s “Ten Year Mix” is particularly of note.
Sam Gendel & Shin Sasakubo
Also known as the leader of the jazz trio Inga, Sam Gendel is an L.A. saxophonist who has developed a free and unique sound that has been described as psychedelic, outsider, and meditative, and Shin Sasakubo is a Chichibu-based guitarist. A new album by the duo of Sam Gendel, an up-and-coming saxophonist from LA, and Shin Sasakubo, an uncanny guitarist based in Chichibu, who is also active as a photographer and contemporary artist. The two showed great chemistry in Shin Sasakubo's previous work …

Microphone
At long last, after decades out of print, the Milan based imprint, Dialogo, dives into the legendary catalog of Cramps, bringing forth the first ever vinyl reissue of David Tudor’s legendary LP, "Microphone", part of an ongoing initiative dedicated to bring the imprint’s seminal output back into the light. Still mind-blowing nearly half a century after it was first released, now complete with a new English translation of the album’s original liner notes, this is just about as exciting as reissue…
Rue des Garderies
Tip! Outsider ambient soundscape by two musicians from the Paris alternative : Désiré Bonaventure & Zach. An enchanted yet psychedelic dream-like ballad recorded in one take in an ephemeral delirium; borrowing from dub, drone, IDM & techno, reflecting singular inter-worlds and inviting us to join them. Rue des Garderies is a distillate produced by the spontaneous collaboration of Désiré Bonaventure and Zach, two musicians evolving in the Parisian alternative scenes and so named in homage to a fo…
Requiem
On Requiem, Vancouver-based composer and musician Anju Singh combines funerary violin and harsh noise, as illustrated in an excerpt from liner notes by Gordon Ashworth (Oscillating Innards, Knelt Rote): "Requiem is an album of the violin engaged in a multi-dimensional way. Merging forms of music and anti-music; burning a violin as a means of achieving the instrument's ultimate dramatic and sonic potential, and guiding the ritual object into a symbolic death."
Singh is recognized in the noise w…
Three Things
*2024 stock* Three Things is a new full-length album of pieces conceived, performed and recorded by long-term collaborators Luciano Maggiore and Louie Rice. The pair are known for multi-pronged activities as artists and organisers which have quietly but surely informed the shape of the United Kingdom's experimental audio underground for many years. Under the guise of Nopaon, they developed a series of events and performances in which they realised scores by Alvin Lucier, Robert Bozzi, Ken Friedm…
You Are Not Alone
Teignmouth Electron is the solo project of Maureen Hallomas, otherwise known for involvement in projects like Polly Shang Kuan Band, Rubber Demon, Leopard Leg, Men Oh Pause and more. Seen and heard most often in a live performance guise, Teignmouth Electron has nonetheless produced a small yet significant back catalogue of recorded work going as far back as 2007 on labels such as Hex Out Tapes, Chocolate Monk and Research laboratories. Even within an already microscopic community of oddballs res…
Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs
Syed Kamran Ali (Hunter Gracchus, Harappian Night Recordings) introduces ‘Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs’; the first album from his newly minted Fish el Fish project. As if to kick the existing ideas of his Harappian Night Recordings work into all new orbits of singularity, ‘Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs’ wrenches a dense throng of voices, electronics and busted instrumentation thrashing and wailing through filters of avant-psychedelic glimmer, mock exotica and atrophied, fusion-esque sheen. A dry, myste…
Chimerism
Nathan Ivanco’s Shadow Pattern, based in Hamilton, Ontario, is a project for whom the term ‘under-the-radar’ is a cute understatement. Operating with scant regard for the cultivation of listenership or exposure, Ivanco’s work - both as Shadow Pattern and through his Hamilton Tapes label - usually manifests via subterraneously low-key tape editions that rarely if ever make out of his home country of Canada. Typically these releases are procured by direct contact with Ivanco himself and forgo the …
Voiceprints & Aircuts: Sound Poetry By Other Means
*2024 stock* Thomas DeAngelo, known otherwise as T.D. or for his participation in Melkings, Zwangsbeglucktertum, Association Copy as well as his sadly departed Crisis of Taste label/mailorder, returns following his well-received Nothing New Under the Sun cassette (Gift of Music, 2022). From a distinctly leftfield position relative to the gnarled, textural tape noise works of this last output, DeAngelo in Voiceprints… offers an obscure, bloody-minded take on Sound Poetry and voice-based sound art…
Korm 88
Unreleased material from the one and only Emil Beaulieau, rediscovered after more than 30 years in storage.
Talk Shop
Dischi Fantom’s Sussurra Luce series, blurring the boundaries between text, music and voice, returns with their third instalment, Hanne Lippard’s “Talk Shop”. Sculpting a fascinating bridge between radically experimental sound practice, conceptual art, and sound poetry, across its two sides the Berlin based multidisciplinary artist taps an almost dada sensibility, delivering a suite of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated creating a sensory experience of the…
KNVF
** Much-needed repress. Edition of 200 ** Following the release of her 2018 solo tape, Ggggg (Anticausal Systems), vocalist Charmaine Lee returns with her debut LP, KNVF, for Erratum Musical (Paris, France). In just two years, the album marks a considerable evolution from the austere concentration of Ggggg towards expansive sonic worlds. Inspired by the arcs of popular music, Charmaine freely and fearlessly navigates a wide range of aesthetics, digging beneath each surface to disclose a highly p…
It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn
*2024 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Letting yourself be taken and dragged by the sounds that come out of It’s Always Darkest Before The Dawn is like getting lost in your own thoughts and emerging after a brainstorm." - The Sleeping Shaman
