A Hello To A Goodbye
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* A Hello To A Goodbye was finished during the first throes of the covid lockdown of 2020 in Canada: whatever its initial genesis (a beginning long since forgotten) the results reflect the emotional terminus of that re…
Searching For The Disappeared Hour
*2023 stock* "Even though they’re often neighbors in the rhythm section, piano and guitar are not typically a good fit for jazz duets. Some of that has to do with the difference between an electrically amplified instrument and a percussive acoustic o…
Sara Schoenbeck
*2023 stock* "This record documents long-term musical partnerships; duets with artists who have helped me refine my creative vocabulary. Yet my deepest musical relationship is with the bassoon itself, the kernel of my inspiration. It is the nurturer,…
Ancient Songs Of Burlap Heroes
"This album is dedicated to those who recognize living as a heroic act: the occupiers of sunup barstools; the cubicle-planted; the ghosts of Greyhounds; the reasonably sketchy. A burlap hero is one who marches—consciously or not—back to the sea in ho…
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
"I imagined the four ensemble pieces that begin this album as belonging to the repertoire of a speculative musical culture — one potentially not so far removed from my own — whose sonic and lyrical affinities reflect chronic, hazardous inundation, an…
Everywhere to be Lost
*In process of stocking. 2023 stock* "I chose the name "Everywhere to be Lost" as a means of summing up the ideas behind the compositions on the record. My personal growth as a musician is one thing but my growth as a person in general has been a dif…
Healing Suite
*In process of stocking* On November 8, 2015 Jesse Sharps, one of the great composers to emerge out of the Los Angeles progressive jazz scene and an early bandleader in Horace Tapscott’s Pan Afrikan Peoples Akrestra, brought together a select group o…
Subtropics
*Riso print by hands on press * Georgian artist Rezo Glonti's debut on Muscut is the label's first take on far Eastern Europe. “Subtropics” was made during sea voyages between subtropical ports. Delicate sound design and ambient experimentations mani…
Octagon Sphere
*300 copies limited edition.* The new album Octagon Sphere by Duesseldorf duo Strafe F.R. comprises of four pieces recorded in 2020 and 2021 at the group's own studio. The work features heavily treated female vocals and includes rhythmic patterns and…
Chants Magnetiques
** 2022 Restock, few copies available ** Here is a masterpiece of electronic music! French musician Bernard Parmegiani has composed Chants Magnetiques in 1974, one of the most sought-after Parmegiani albums -- a monster rarity which is almost impossi…
Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei
Rubinho E Mauro Assumpção's 'Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei' has to be up there as one of the finest Brazilian-psych-folk-MPB records we know. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find in the wild; even on digging trips to Brazil, an original c…
Istehlal
Zehra is proud to present the debut album Istehlal by the Mohamad Zatari Trio, consisting of musicians from Syria, Iran and India. The trio merges traditional Middle Eastern sounds with contemporary vibes incl. interpretations of Hossein Alizadeh and…
I'm Always Crying
Another brilliant bit of excavation from Death Is Not The End, a label rapidly becoming a crate-digging collective par excellence. Think Honest Jon’s with a particular focus on early-to-mid-20th-century folk musics of all strains. This particular rel…
Tryghed
Tip! Tryghed is the debut album from Franciska, the alias of the now Copenhagen-based artist Jonas Torstensson. As one of the key figures in the young, vivid scene around the Forlaget Kornmod imprint, Jonas has released a good deal of music under dif…
Bečvou
Bečva is a river located in the Eastern part of Czech Republic. In September 2020, several chemical leaks into the river caused the poisoning and subsequent death of 40 tons of wildlife in the waterway – an unprecedented catastrophe. Growing up in Př…
Fallin
*In process of stocking* Georgian artist Ani Zakareisvili layers crackly Basinski-esque piano loops with crunch-fried vocal snippets on her charming debut release. Proper hypnagogic gear for fans of Harold Budd, Erik Satie, or The Caretaker.
Over the…
Nurture
*In process of stocking* Los Angeles-based marine eyes (aka Cynthia Bernard) and Melbourne-based IKSRE (aka Phoebe Dubar) come together for this new album on Past Inside The Present and it is one that draws on their respective backgrounds as musician…
Correio Da Estação Do Brás
A fluid, low-key effort, with less of the challenging, music box melodies of his earlier efforts. This is a record which eases its way past your ears (and I mean that in a good way!) It’s not sappy or unchallenging, but it is a lot smoother and less …
Another Night In Peru
The first new album from Florida based audio composer Wave Temples in almost 6 years. A synthesized soundscape of distant waves and deep ocean trenches. Sounds that evoke tropical nights and distant sunrises, quietly portraying a horizon between the …
