Devotion
Double LP version. "Devotion, Muriel Grossmann's debut for Jack White's U.S.-based Third Man Records label, continues her musical evolution, arriving at a sound that wears inspirations transparently, but in practice, is markedly original holistic work. It is titled after Grossmann's experience of a natural sense of devotion that arose from her Buddhist meditation practice. She says, 'noticing that sounds are dissolving into the vast empty space, the true nature of reality. Just as thoughts are a…
Testament
* Clear Vinyl edition * Fire! have always been about finding the essence by getting to the core of the music. Their 8th album sees the trio - for the first time on record - stripped down to the bare-bones essentials; with no flutes, no electronics, no guests and no extras, recorded live in the studio to analogue tape - the Steve Albini way - with the master himself at the controls in Electrical Audio in Chicago. Thus, this album stands as a true testament to the group´s expressive power and glow…
Damien Est Vivant
In the wake of a profound loss, Marie Klock, a neo-chanson singer and multi-instrumentalist from Paris, presents a poignant tribute with her debut on Pingipung. On Damien est vivant, Marie Klock pays homage to the late poet Damien Schultz. They were intertwined both in artistic collaboration and deep friendship.

InSec
Mega Tip! Omit’s ‘inSec’ is “new,” but not new. Recorded in 2013, the masters lost in the label’s murky somewheresville that always shows up when moving. For those who don’t know, Omit is an experimental electronics artist from New Zealand’s south island who, since 1990, has released thirty-some xerographed cassettes and CDrs in the Dead C orbit for those who do. It’s not enough to say that ‘inSec’ is an ambient masterpiece bringing to mind a John Carpenter soundtrack performed by the Hub becaus…

Erosion Of Memory
NM is thrilled to present the new album from Mulubinba/Newcastle's J. Campbell. 'Erosion Of Memory' is profound innervision - a dramatic sandstorm through near-beatless landscapes, mapping Campbell's intrinsic understanding of family, familiarity and the firmament surrounding him. Whilst welcomed with swells of distant sawmills, sub-bass and tree hollow synth pads on the titular opening track, Campbell bookends a variety of instrumentation with the blustering tonal constellations and cadenced pe…

Hear Us Again For Whatever Reason
Created with sampling keyboards and DIY recordings techniques, The History of Unheard Music's soundscape is a heap of rubble to be scavenged. Their tracks are collages of references that are impossible to place. Brilliance and weirdness. Radical and adventurous. Easily some of the most unique and engaging sound works produced during the '80s.

"Che's interest in the Arabic modes of Mauritanian music has marked our sound quite a bit but I have brought some things, too. The plywood crate I play is a big factor, defining, by its positive qualities (a nice warm 'boom' sound) as well as by its simplicity, what we're likely to do in the percussion realm. Wood/Me…
