Country Tropics (Meridian Edition)
Reconfiguring the laments from their debut album, Old Saw distill a wilted and hollow reflection from their original recordings. Lines freshly traced, erased, and reassembled from cassette and reel-to-reel machines, presented here like new writing on an old postcard.

*2024 stock* "Blanche Lafuente, Jeanne Guien, Nina Garcia, Thomas Dunoyer de Segonzac: no noise quartet post no post no wave no punk post noise post mama post everything: French chanson... A crawling bass, shredding drums, a lacerating scalpel-guitar, hijacked tape loops, bits of agit-pop poetry carried by chanted, melodramatic vocals." - le non_jazz

Bwa Ba Baw Boi
*2024 stock* Dwarf Lift Dwarf is a two-headed cerberus with crumpled masks of celestial rascals. His chirps sound like the call of a freshly deconditioned post-Hawaiian pizza. One mouthful leading to another, creepers and castrated quarterbacks arch perilously over putrid swamps where the spoils of a lucid duty-free tourist languish.
The intentions are clear: to emerge virtuous from the winter of 2020, accompanied by the priest of priests Flavio Bagnasco le Cremovo, aka Cremyeuse, on the double-…
Moot!
Repress of the stunning debut from Moin - experimental art rock/post-punk group made up of both Raime members and percussionist Valentina Magaletti. A serendipitous conversation brought the project to life. Moot! allowed the group to re-appreciate the recording process, using a combination of live recording and studio techniques. The album spans psych, alternative rock and post-punk mixed with their signature electronics and sampling practice.
The record was made as an experiment, to be enjoyed,…

Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis
The second part of Matador’s reissues of the essential early records by Texas’s Butthole Surfers continues with three of their most insane slabs -- 1985’s ‘Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis,’ 1987’s ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ and 1988’s ‘Hairway to Steven.’ The period during which these records were first issued parallels the Buttholes’ transition from being weirdo Texas outcasts to becoming internationally recognized smut-kings of the American underground. In 1985 they were still the sole p…
Îl!es

Caverns Of Your Brain

Previously released on vinyl as a bootleg, this 1977 4-track sonic labyrinth is packed with the quintessential ingredients of an instant classic. A never-come-down, fast-paced haven of complexity, with abundant mellotron/moog doses and inventive rhythmic shifts that evoke a eureka moment on every corner. This is the first official vinyl edition, featuring new and band approved cover artworks, bonus…
Portico Quartet / Hania Rani
Portico Quartet / Hania Rani brings the singular Polish pianist and composer, Hania Rani, and East-London based widescreen minimalists, Portico Quartet, together for a unique collaboration. The idea was simple, each artist would rework one of each other's tunes. The result is a beautiful collaborative work that feel less like straight forward remixes and more like a new recording that brings the two acts distinctive sound worlds to a new place. The first track to be shared is Hania Rani - Nest (…
Dessus oben alto up
Marionette presents 'dessus oben alto up', the first collaborative recording by Andrea Belfi and Jules Reidy. Hailing from different ends of the globe (Australia and Italy) but both longtime residents of Berlin, Reidy and Belfi’s approaches have much in common, bringing together compositional precision and electroacoustic rigour with improvisation freedom, the immediate gratifications of rhythmic pulse, and an overtly lyrical sensibility. Working together during a residency at the sound studio o…
Objects In Mirrors Are Closer Than They Appear
Dark Entries calls on Philadelphia experimental duo The Ghostwriters to resurrect their 1981 LP of minimalist mayhem, Objects In Mirrors Are Closer Than They Appear. The late Buchla maestro Charles Cohen and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Cain joined up in 1971 to craft electroacoustic chaos as Anomali, later renaming themselves The Ghostwriters. Their collaborations with choreographers and visual media artists led to their singular style, straddling improvisation and composition, the oneiric and th…
Finomehanika
Tip! An essential repress of the monumental 2020 album. Finomehanika was Rijeka-based Robert Merlak's first solo release in two decades since "Albumski" on pioneering avant-garde techno label Phthalo which put him on the map next to fellow artists as diverse as Dntel, Daedelus and James 'V/Vm' Kirby.
Merging piano and field recordings, Merlak moves between musique concrete, ambient, and neo classical, crafting great layers of depth and ambience combining the frayed melancholia of Vladislav Delay…
Babo / That Ol' Bus Smell
Romanian born trombonist, composer/arranger Peter Herbolzheimer led one of the most hard-swinging, innovative, successful European big bands with a heavy roster onboard, including Art Farmer, Palle Mikkleborg, Herb Geller, Philip Catherine, Tony Inzalaco, Dieter Reith and virtuoso latin jazz percussionist Sabu Martinez. His 1973 MPS album, Wide Open, remained unissued since the '70s – this first ever all-analogue 45 7" single features the two brassy big-band funk highlights from the LP – 'Babo' …
J.B.W. / Soft Hands Had The Rain
Bora Rokovic's MPS album, Ultra Native, is one of the most elusive titles in the catalogue and, until now, remained unissued since its original release in 1971. Inzalaco's 'J.B.W.' is a hard-grooving fusion piece with dark minor chords, opening with an almighty drum break – found here in a new all-analogue mastertape edit for this 45 release. 'Soft Hands Had the Rain' features Trunk strutting his stuff on Fender bass, as well as cello overdubs, with Rokovic's brooding improvisations on electric …

Àlááfíà
Honour’s debut album is a ligament stretching from Lagos to London and to New York, curling across the diaspora and brushing the darker hues of blues, hip-hop, free jazz, ambient, gospel with Christian mythology and Yoruba folklore. As cinematic as it is painterly, Àlàáfíà is a meditation on themes of life, death and love that pulls inspiration from the poetic profundity of God, remembered dreams, unexpected casual conversations, field recordings, literature, ephemera, and personal archives. The…
