*2025 stock* Aerial M as in mysterious. A group of sounds recorded in Louisville KY. Smooth blue instrumental guitar music. In the musical alphabet, what comes after rock?
This collection of pieces originates from environmental sounds recorded using 3D ambisonic microphones. The recordings have been deconstructed, processed, and composed into abstract musical journeys that no longer transport the listener to the original recording locations. Instead, they tell stories— partly of human-made dystopias and partly in search of a melancholic beauty in what the future may hold.“Natasha Barrett’s insightful attention to the spatial and durational character of real-world …
"A bewitching fusion of ambient jazz and traditional Korean instrumentation - piri,saenghwang and yanggeum - casting a spell not unlike that of Arooi Aftab's Vulture Prince." - UNCUT
The classic 1976 album remastered from the original tapes plus 11 unreleased recordings! Formed in the early 1970s, The Residents have been charting a unique path through the musical landscape for over 45 years. From far-out, experimental curiosities to highly conceptual, multi-album projects, the band has refused to stand still, and continues to move in several different directions at once. Produced with the involvement of The Cryptic Corporation, and with full access to the band's extensive ta…
*2025 stock* There is something really special about music based on drones. Whether it's the vocals of Pandit Pran Nath, the ARP 2500 of Eliane Radigue, or the nearly-blown amps of Sunn O))), by changing the listeners's focus on details to one that favors flow, drones are uniquely capable of transporting our brains far far away. The debut LP, 'Repeater', by this loudly droning Austin septet is a goddamn splendid example of how the process works. Using the motto, “Maximal Repetition Minimal Devia…
*300 copies limited edition* In the twilit caverns of Serra de Collserola, a crooked journey begins. The vague contour of the Hierophant emerges in an ash-pale fog. He stretches his arms towards the sky. He opens his mouth, and from it radiates the blinding light of swallowed suns. He howls — he shouts — he roars: words that crackle like fire. Words that unravel worlds. Words that hew, from ancient rock and staves oaken wood, hymns of hypnotic grandeur, liminal laments, and solemn songs of comfo…

"This tape is the registration of a session I played on invitation by Knotwilg Records on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the town hall of Meetkerke, a one street village tucked away between Bruges and the North Sea in the midst of Flanders flatlands. The session was broadcasted live during the Kneautwilg radioshow on Studio Néau that afternoon. I recorded the air waves on magnetic tape with a Korg CR-3, two SM57 mics and two AKG C1000 mics. This tape is the result of those analog recordings." - Knotw…
"As i was looking for tracks for our monthly Kneautwilg radioshow i jumped into my cdr collection and stumbled upon a pile of those mini-cdr's so fashionable in the first decade of this century. Without prelistening i played it on the show resulting in juvenile state of enthusiasm. The hints towards a young Dead C are there, sure. But it sounded different: maybe younger, wilder. So who else can make such a nz guitar assault? I should have known the answer being a long time CJA/Futurians fan. Sur…
Annie A, the one-off collaborative project between Félicia Atkinson, Time is Away, Christina Petrie and Maxine Funke, arrives on A Colourful Storm with an inquisitive, exploratory composition evoking questions of inconstancy and reconciliation, vastness and finitude and the sometimes cruel deception of human perception. Who will conduct our dreams if we never wake?
It is a geographically diverse yet like-minded ensemble whose seeds were sown during an A Colourful Storm show in London, where tim…
Kind Regards is the second duo release from guitarist Oren Ambarchi and drummer Eric Thielemans, out via AD 93 on the 21st February 2025. The record captures an expansive performance in Poitiers, France in November 2023. First working together in an unpredictable trio with minimalist legend and eccentric extraordinaire Charlemagne Palestine, Ambarchi and Thielemans quickly established a remarkable musical chemistry that led to an ongoing series of duo concerts, including the performance document…
