The Earth Has Memory
*100 copies limited release* Elevator Bath is thrilled to present the first solo vinyl LP from Concepción Huerta, highly accomplished multidisciplinary artist from Mexico who employs tapes to manipulate recordings of everyday objects and electronic instruments. The fruit of these experimental methods is an intense, heavy take on dark ambient and noise music: a densely atmospheric exploration of sound driven by narrative, more akin to storytelling than songwriting. “The Earth Has Memory” was reco…
Smash And Grab
When Ballister hit the stage at the Catalytic Sound Festival in Chicago in December 2022, no one in the band was quite sure what to expect. Although they’d done a two-week tour of the US in April of that year, their first reunion following an almost three-year break due to the pandemic, you never know what might happen after several months apart. Sometimes that first gig is magic. And sometimes it swims around searching for a center. That’s just a danger of the art form.
But drummer Paal Nilssen…
Lepok
*300 copies limited edition* The very unique Basque scene of sound experimentation has had two main hubs for more than twenty years: the highly regarded and sorely missed Larraskito in Bilbao, and the iconic and resilient Matadeixe / Matadero in Azkoitia (Gipuzkoa). Mikel (Conteiner, Killerkume, Loan, Orbain Unit) from Bilbao and Joseba (Autoa, Fernalia, Paezur) from Azpeitia are two fundamental pillars in this great story, thanks to their multiple musical projects, their skills as listeners and…

Golden Pear
Moon Glyph Records head Steve Rosborough returns as Omni Gardens with a brand new album entitled “Golden Pear”. The fuzzy, warm and buoyant moog timbres of “Moss King” return but “Golden Pear” is a dreamier and more lush affair; incorporating a wider palette including mellotron flutes, vibraphones, marimbas and self-captured field recordings. A tranquil, pop atmosphere permeates the album as the songs flutter between bleary, unhurried tunes, warbly soundscapes and odes to lazy afternoons. Create…

Spires
*30 copies limited edition* "Bright lights of impossible architecture, airwaves are your travelling wings. I rode up some of those ones, it was already night. It looked like some future city, lights of villages on the other hills below as far as light not obscuring. Interesting scene. Invisible city of trees. Continuing its spiritual journey, where the self-titled LP was inspired by erosion and the jaws of time as an elemental force, “Spires” explores its vision in the forward vector, a future m…
Into The Second Half
Icelandic artist and musician Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson is known for his work with Stilluppsteypa, numerous solo albums and collaborations with other artists, such as Swedish composer BJ Nilsen. Into The Second Half takes the listener into a mysterious, yet calming sound world, where carefully composed textures weave hypnotically in and out of each other, as subtle as the changes of light in the forbidden zone in Andrej Tarkovsky’s Stalker.

An evening with nehan
Nehan is a Japanese free improvisation/avant-garde rock quintet formed in 2022. Their performance is initiated by a 9HZ brain wave emitted from a testee who has been brought into a deep meditative state. nehan respond with gongs, typani, tabla and other percussion, crumhorn, bagpipes, oscillator and mellotron, passing tranformatively through a musical prism, from east to west, from traditional folk and classical to rock, jazz, and electronic.
Blastfighter
Sometimes some releases are born through a quick waltz step, some other, such as this one, even if waited since eons and requested by fans more than once, they get a laborious and long gestation. In Blastfighter’s case the long waiting is also due to the label and the artist need to dedicate the correct amount of energy to the relevant release, in order to obtain the best possible result. A score which is dear to Fabio Frizzi, with funky sounds infested with cool bursting electronics, typical of…
Mountains Of Night
*200 copies limited release* Jelodanti is happy to present Mountains Of Night, David Fenech’s third solo album, following Grand Huit (2000) and Polochon Battle (2007). Somewhere between musique concrète and pop, between sound poetry and industrial music, this new recording has been constructed as a musical piece that develops over time, forming a truly unique listening experience. Lasting 40 minutes, it is split into two movements, forming two well balanced sides on a vinyl record. Don’t miss it…
Ritual Sonoro Para Ruinas Circulares
*300 copies limited edition* Based on the rereading of the famous tale by Jorge Luis Borges “The Circular Ruins”, the Peruvian composer, percussionist and painter, Manongo Mujica, takes a new look at some of his great obsessions: the desert on the coast of Peru and the pre-Hispanic ceremonials found there.

This album thus embodies an approach to a sound universe that has accompanied Burga's very personal work, which has transcended the limits of the artis…
Eerie Breedings
*200 copies limited edition* Los Lichis (three Mexicans, one Frenchman), there is no servile lineage to deplore: we are not tied to anything really specific, preferring to emancipate ourselves from overly showy supervision in favor of a mysterious exoticism. So let's forget the Germans labeled "seventies", both Guru Guru and the first version of Amon Düül or Can, but also their spiritual heirs Cul de Sac, or those groups which, like them and in the manner of the No Neck Blues Band, have made inf…
