2025 Stock. 300 copies. Jac Berrocal and David Fenech have been recording together for over a decade, a partnership that has produced albums with Ghédalia Tazartès (RIP) and Vincent Epplay, and led to performances alongside Felix Kubin, Jean-Hervé Peron, Jean Noel Cognard, and Thierry Müller (Illitch). Their work together occupies a distinct zone in French experimental music—playful without being frivolous, structured without being rigid, drawing equally from free jazz, musique concrète, and the…

2025 Stock. 300 copies. The Rock in Opposition movement that coalesced in late-1970s Europe - Henry Cow, Magma, Univers Zero, and the other founding members - established a template for how progressive rock could operate outside industry expectations. But RIO was never meant to be a museum piece. The tradition survives through mutation, through artists who understand its principles without replicating its surface. Stop Motion Orchestra, based in Austin, Texas, represents one such mutation. Light…

R. Stevie Moore is often called the "godfather of home recording," one of the most recognized artists of the cassette underground, and his influence is particularly felt in the bedroom and hypnagogic pop artists of the post-millennium. Since 1968, he has self-released approximately 400 albums. Born the son of Nashville A-Team bassist Bob Moore, Moore grew up in the 1960s listening to the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Mothers of Invention, and Jimi Hendrix. In his teens, he acquired access to a re…

**Silver & black and silver & white vinyl edition of 300** 'Homotopy To Marie' is the fifth album by Nurse With Wound, originally released on United Dairies in 1982. The album is a step on from the Dadaist rock of 'Merzbild Schwet', with much use of tape manipulation and classical avant-garde techniques, using keywords including unsettling, volatile, eerie and nocturnal to describe the feel of the album which combined tape edits with resonating gong tones and disembodied children's voices to cre…

Where to From marks the much-anticipated solo return of Hildur Guðnadóttir, a composer-collaborator equally versed in spectral pop, avant-garde, and soundtrack work. Reaching beyond her acclaimed film and TV scores, Guðnadóttir crafts nine intimately reflective pieces for strings and choir—drawn from years of voice memos and melodic fragments—where minimalist restraint meets moments of luminous warmth. The album’s texture hovers between Scandinavian melancholy, sacred choral atmosphere, and a me…

2025 stock A live band session from their Succour album period, including Rough For Radio and Phazemaze which never appeared on any other release. Warp Records release WXAXRXP Sessions featuring ten specially selected sessions recorded for radio from across the history of the label, from the very early days right up to the WXAXRXP x NTS weekend. In the age of immediate, unelected, often low-quality rips of anything that is broadcast, these releases present each session in the highest quality ado…

German pianist and composer Hauschka returns to Sonic Pieces with music for the experimental film Upstream. Together with filmmaker Rob Petit and acclaimed writer Robert Macfarlane he has created a slow-moving dream-flight into wildness and winter through an eerie, hypnotic soundtrack of the Scottish highlands. The film, which is shot entirely from the air, follows the course of the River Dee in Scotland all the way to its source in the Cairngorm mountains, the highest of any river in Britain. T…

Selected Works 1985-2005 by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors assembles eleven transformative pieces from two decades of percussive ambient innovation. This 2025 repress captures their hypnotic blend of ceremonial rhythm, improvisation and deeply spiritual overtones, threading together global traditions and ecstatic energy to create immersive soundscapes meant for both movement and contemplation.​

*200 copies limited edition* Reconfiguring the notion of bridge building on a multitude of terms, it feels fitting that the tenth and final installment of Die Schachtel’s Decay Music series, Sergio Armaroli and David Toop’s “And I Entered Into Sleep”, was co-created by an artist whose work featured in the first suite of LPs issued by Brian Eno’s Obscure Records in 1975, the groundwork toward which Decay Music’s own efforts nod. Since that auspicious debut, “New and Rediscovered Musical Instrumen…

*200 copies limited edition* Since its founding in Milan during the early years of the new millennium, Die Schachtel has occupied a singular place in the landscape of experimental music, issuing a carefully curated body of reissues and archival releases by historically significant figures and projects like Christina Kubisch, Luciano Cilio, Marino Zuccheri, Prima Materia, Claudio Rocchi, Lino 'Capra' Vaccina, Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, Roland Kayn, and numerous others, balanced a…

In the vast and uncompromising catalog of Muslimgauze, certain works stand as crystalline statements of Bryn Jones's singular vision—albums that distill decades of political engagement and sonic exploration into their most essential form. Hamas Cinema Gaza Strip, composed less than a year before Jones's untimely passing in 1999, emerges as perhaps his most cohesive and sonically refined release, now returning via the MG Archive series in a limited edition of 200 manually screen-printed copies. T…

A Stone For Angus MacLise documents a 2007 trio session recorded during the same period that produced Dauphin Elegies (VHF 112). The instrumentation—harmonium, singing bowl, gong, and esraj - reflects Pelt's longstanding interest in sustained tones and the textural possibilities of acoustic drone music. The album takes its name from Angus MacLise, the poet and percussionist who performed with the early Velvet Underground before the band's commercial recordings. Like MacLise, Pelt have maintained…

2025 Stock. The Work emerged from the dissolution of Henry Cow in 1979, formed by saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson, guitarist Bill Gilonis, bassist Mick Hobbs, and drummer Rick Wilson. Their inaugural LP, Slow Crimes, is a little-known treasure of transformative magnitude, so rabidly articulate that it presides over and resides in a world very much unto itself. While falling within the loosest guidelines of post-punk, the term proves inadequate: the textural intricacies and distinct deliberacy through…

Death in the Urban Jungle by Lance Austin Olsen is an expansive electroacoustic tapestry, weaving copper plate, shruti box, tape fragments, and wordless voice into a narrative of decay and emergence. Resonances and silences shape a listening experience as tactile as it is elusive.

Liminal Spaces, by Ed Jones and Emil Karlsen, sketches a quiet but complex dialogue between saxophone and percussion. Their communication is fluid, as fleeting motifs and rhythmic fragments surface and dissolve, inviting the listener into the shifting boundaries of spontaneous improvisation.

Moon sees Simon Rose and Nicola Hein map a shifting terrain between breath and electricity. Baritone saxophone and microtonal guitar unfurl in subtle layers, crafting a microcosm where fragility and abrasion lie side by side, always moving, always searching.

Within (2) / Appearance (2) by Michael Pisaro-Liu presents a contemplative exploration of duration and silence, foregrounding gradual transformation. These extended works for guitar and double bass, created with Michael Francis Duch, reward patient listening and engage with resonance and subtlety over spectacle.

*300 copies limited edition* "Stimulated by our first public performance of "rarely heard music" (Das Münchner Konzert), we at once planned another concert in which the tight circle of performers was to be enlarged by a couple of dear friends, and once again the location had to have the lure of the special. oswald wiener suggested the church of the holy cross in berlin as our place of action, for we had learnt that it could be hired for public performances. everyone was most enthusiastic about p…

2025 stock “There's so much complexity in life and human emotion that I have a hard time feeling convinced a song is always either happy, sad, melancholic, angry or scared. I look at these emotions like elements that are constantly colliding with each other, so it's my duty as a songwriter to reflect that. I want to fall in and out of the cracks of genres, finding the nerves not yet hit. It's usually in the disturbing part of the spectrum…” So says Joe Haege, who’s earned a reputation for unset…

*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…

Water Damage is ten people from one town and one sound from twelve people. For Instruments, the plus two are guitarist David Grubbs and saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi, neither of whom blunt the angle or confound the aim. The tempo? Slow and low. Four tracks, averaging twenty minutes each, the pace never above a comfortable walk. The damage creeps, a forest becomes a mountain, and the faithful move forward. The album is named after Fugazi, in a manner, and "Reel 25" takes after the Shocklee Brothe…

Porch Music documents No Hope Orchestra, an ambitious large ensemble led by Paul McCarthy and featuring core members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society. Recorded live at The Box gallery concert in Los Angeles, the project harnesses a vivid assembly of improvisers—Mitchell Brown, Elaine Carey, Dennis Duck, Ace Farren Ford, Juan Gomez, Mike Gonzalez, Joseph Hammer, Keith Lubow, Nathaniel Mellors, Joe Potts, Rick Potts, Trevor Rounseville, Alex Stevens, Molly Tierney, and John Wiese. This releas…

Ex-Org is the fourth album from Extended Organ, featuring Paul McCarthy, Fredrik Nilsen, Joe Potts, Tom Recchion, and Alex Stevens. Recorded in January 2018, the album documents two sessions: one as-performed and another “decomposed” by John Wiese. Here, Extended Organ conjures an unpredictable sonic environment - Joe Potts’s Chopped Optigan, McCarthy’s improvisational guitar and vocals, and a dense fabric of homemade and vintage instruments combine to create a powerful blend of immersive ambien…

Le Grand Couturier debuts with a self-titled album that threads together imaginary exotica and daring contemporary experimentation. The trio crafts a distinctive palette of analog warmth, improvisational spirit, and whimsical elegance, resulting in a record that both intrigues and soothes with its lush arrangements and unpredictable textures.​

This recording is roughly 80 minutes of the A&E three day performance superimposed. Performed by Paul McCarthy (Adolf / Eva) and Lilith Stangenberg (Eva / Eve).

A quick, spontané voyage to the French Riviera ca. 1968, good times long before things went south, Organi’s “Parlez-vous Français?” is a woozy, tripping, soothing sojourn: DIY dream pop, hazy psychedelia, blurred-but-steady beats dripping down the golden boulevard, complete with mystical chants, a dash of half-remembered Franglais that goes down like some vintage eau-de-vie. There’s a fine massage waiting behind those venetian blinds. Pay half an hour, you’ll be relaxed and revived after 22 mi…

Next to the entire All is an astonishing work by Danish experimental sound quartet We like We, consisting of Katrine Grarup Elbo (violin), Josefine Opsahl (cello), Sara Nigard Rosendal (percussion) and Katinka Fogh Vindelev (voice). Although classically trained, all four share a desire for exploring, experimenting and shaping a sound of their own, something which is truly present on this album. Both instrumentation and composition feel glued together with an abundant sense of playfulness and vis…

**12" pink-hued clear RTI vinyl pressing** Customer’s Copy is the debut LP of contorted cosmic jazz and eccentric minimal electronics by Exotic Sin. The duo of Naima Karlsson and Kenichi Iwasa first came together for a performance celebrating the art and music of Karlsson’s grandparents, Moki and Don Cherry, before continuing as an independent unit that still incorporates some of the Cherrys’ instruments as well as their synergetic integration of music with artistic practice. Preferring the star…

If there's one musician in the last decade that you may hear in wildly diverse musical contexts it is Belgian electric bassist and sound sculptor Farida Amadou. Not only can you enjoy the unerringly skillful command she has over her instrument but also the transformative power to reinterpret and expand her material in spontaneous and unconventional ways. Amadou is self-taught and radically aware of her idiosyncratic relationship with the bass guitar. She neither emulates the virtuosos of the ele…

Arthur Russell first visited The Gallery in 1976 with his then boyfriend Louis, who introduced him to Nicky Siano. Arthur became a regular at the space and one night as Siano was playing “Turn the Beat Around”, which had just been released, Arthur waved at him from outside the booth and asked to come in. Nicky opened the door and Arthur suggested they make a record like this together. This ended up being a huge step for Siano as it marked the first ever production by a DJ making a record from sc…

Bilders' Neverlasting, released in October 2025 via Carbon and Grapefruit, is an album of literate, restlessly inventive art-rock led by New Zealand poet and songwriter Bill Direen. Blending hard psychedelia, gothic folk, and lyrical commentary on personal and planetary adversity, the record’s 15 songs showcase Direen's songwriting at once timeless and deeply rooted in the underground spirit of Aotearoa.​

Mentioned on Julian Cope's essential guide Jap Rock Sampler, Food Brain released their debut album in 1970, gathering influences from prog, proto-hard and psychedelic music. By far a supergroup consisting of Shinki Chen (Speed, Glue and Shinki), Hiro Yanagida (Milk Time) and Hiro Tsunoda (Flied Egg), the band showed an incredible interplay on their nine instrumental pieces, generating a cult following aboard.

Definition was the only album by the American psych folk band Chrysalis, released in 1968 on MGM Records. Together with their Velvet Underground label mates, Chrysalis, were considered pioneers of the art rock movement, thanks to their sublime vocal melodies and baroque arrangements -- ageless psych acid folk gems!

Procrastinators were a locally cherished ‘77 infused punk rock band active from 1994 to 1997 in Portland, Oregon. For whatever reason, the rest of the world has taken its sweet time discovering this gem. Featuring Portland all-star Chris Carey (RIP) who would later grace his presence in many local bands including Poison Idea, Deathcharge, Religious War, Defiance, etc etc, this is a great document of how it all started with this very important figure in the scene here along with many others who w…

Benjamin Tassie’s Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees is an immersive 70-minute composition featuring performances by Zubin Kanga on keyboards, blending sampled historic organs, analogue synthesizers, and real-time digital processing. The work, part of the ‘Cyborg Soloists’ research project, was recorded live in Amsterdam and surrounds listeners with a multi-layered soundscape exploring themes of ritual, memory, and environmental transformation.​

Theo Alexander’s Stable Processes with Slow Ornaments, released by Flung Records in 2025, is a 36-minute single-movement work for viola, bass clarinet, and eight tape players. The composition fuses acoustic and electronic textures, unspooling as a patient meditation on resonance, memory, and the slow shifts of sound in space.​

Eden Lonsdale’s Clear and Stormy Horizons is a contemporary chamber mini-album released in 2025, featuring five compositions that drift between melancholy, tension, and delicate lyricism. Written and recorded during lockdown, these works showcase Lonsdale’s evocative use of varied instrumentation and emotional clarity, marking another intriguing chapter in UK-based new music.​

Refracting beatifically through realities and mirages flickering along his aural parade route, Animal Collective’s Geologist rides the high country on a hurdy gurdy of many colours. Via the mystery science of musical engagement, we take his sonic kaleidoscope of encounters into our own experience as we listen. That’s the beauty of Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?, the debut solo transmission of the heart and soul and life and times of Geologist.
