Two Words
Two Words is the debut release from the duo of Canadian sound artist Crys Cole and Australian songwriter Francis Plagne. Building on a series of experimental live performances in which the pair toyed with possible common languages for their seemingly unrelated approaches to music, the LP's two sides present a single piece that brings together abstract texture and slow-motion song in a sonic space where genre cedes to the logic of dreams. The piece begins with a long, nearly static sequence built…
1973 Live - Milky Way
Black Truffle present the first vinyl issue of Keiji Haino's Milky Way. Originally released as a limited CD in Japan by the short lived Mom 'N' Dad Productions in 1993, this release documents a blistering live performance recorded in Kyoto in 1973, five years before the formation of the first line-up of Fushitsusha, and eight years before Haino's first solo album. Working with a mysterious set-up including primitive electronics, homemade acoustic instruments, piano and voice, Haino lets loose a …
Tutti
Tutti is comprised of eight soundscapes: an audio self portrait comprising of manipulated sound recordings from Cosey Fanni Tutti’s life, music and art: “It’s the only album I’ve made that is an all encompassing statement expressing the totality of my being. A sense of the past in relation to the present and everything in between.” These eight pieces were originally conceived as the soundtrack to the autobiographical film ‘Harmonic Coumaction’, and performed live in February 2017, part of a seri…

The Book Room
Marionette presents Kilchhofer's debut album 'The Book Room'. Benjamin Kilchhofer is not new to the world of recorded music, yet he doesn’t seem to fit into a particular scene or group. As an outsider he is, however, fully immersed and melded into his own universe. He mentally escapes to a parallel world and weaves an alternate reality which would otherwise not exist in his daily life. Kilchhofer avoids the spotlight and therefore isn’t really visible in today’s culture of ever changing content …

Eden's Island: The Music Of An Enchanted Isle
Though he was originally from Brooklyn and raised by adoptive parents in rural Kansas, George Alexander Aberle aka eden ahbez, is about as California as they come. He was discovered in the 1940s while working in one of Los Angeles' earliest raw vegetarian restaurants and was known throughout the 50s and 60s for being spotted on the streets of LA in full white robe, sandals, and beard, and legendarily camping underneath the first L in the Hollywood sign. After writing numerous hits for jazz and p…
Music Of Indonesia

Reve Parisien
An amazing limited LP that features four new Rhys Chatham compositions that were performed live at Kassay's exhibition at Art: Concept in Paris in 2010, and loosely functions as an audio catalogue to the exhibition. Reve Parisien contains compositions that were both performed live and used as a soundtrack through Kassay’s exhibition. These compositions mark a change in direction for Chatham, who has abandoned the trumpet style he developed in the nineties for a non-distorted, less effects-driven…

Turva Lingua
Last Copies ** Edition of 200** Turva Lingua is the long-awaited, incredible debut album by mysterious Portuguese actor and performance artist Nu No. But who really is Nu No? Nuno Marques Pinto has been a relevant presence in the Portuguese Punk scene since the 80s.

Runt Vigor
Audrey Chen's long-awaited new solo album Runt Vigor is an adventurous sonic exploration of the voice, cello and analog electronics. Chen began her relationship with sound through the cello and voice over 30 years ago and in the past 15 years, her predominant focus has been her solo work, joining together the extended and inherent vocabularies of the cello, voice and analog electronics (with all sounds created without electronic effect or enhancement other than amplification).

The Third Helix
For this third release on Dais, Drew McDowall reaches into concept, ritual, and immersion, in an exercise of unravelling the DNA of hallucination. The Third Helix is McDowall’s product of deconstructive exploration, twisting the fibers of being into new structure, shape, pattern, and pulse, without reconstituting its inscribed template. The result is a true “third act,” in McDowall’s career, that has seen him peregrinate from the late-’70s art-punk of the trio Poems to his work with Psychic TV a…
Radio Wave Surfer
Holger Szukay’s sixth solo LP Radio Wave Surfer gets the reissue treatment courtesy of Groenland Records. Originally released in 1991, Radio Wave Surfer found the late Can bassist coming through with some of his most succinct and immediate work. Cuts such as ‘Weird Dreams’ and ‘Get It Sweet’ streamlined Szukay’s experimental tendencies in order to create lean Krautrock vignettes that still pack a heady psychedelic punch. Funnily enough for such a focussed listen, many of the tracks on Radio Wave…
