*2024 stock* Dark Country is the first collaboration between Stockholm-based experimental musicians Jon Collin and Niclas Anderstedt Lindgren. On Dark Country you have the familiar echoes from Collin`s post-bluesy attack on strings, but this time accompanied with a considerable amount of speaker crackle and Lindgren`s clever yet reticent sound sculpting. All the sounds you`ll hear on Dark Country are created by live guitar improvisations and electronic processing thereof.

Miro-Benjamin Lindström's CD, "Unessakaan ei voi välttyä ratkaisun etsimiseltä," immerses listeners in a sonic journey characterized by its deeply minimalistic essence. Lindström crafts a captivating atmosphere through slow, quiet compositions that invite microscopic introspection.

2024 stock. Cornelius Cardew's music of the Sixties is arguably from his most creative and experimental period as a composer, beginning with Autumn 60 and ending with the last paragraphs of The Great Learning in 1970. This decade can be divided into two parts, where the first half focuses on indeterminate music and the latter sees a growing emphasis on improvisation. Treatise functions as a bridge between these two periods, as it contains elements of both. This recording is a document of this du…

“Signal" is the new album by renowned electronic music artist Brendon Moeller. Known for his innovative fusion of ambient sounds, Moeller once again pushes the boundaries of the genre with swirling, organic forms and immersive textures grounded in the dark, moody tones of deep techno and dub. What results are the sounds of melodic, fluttering synths set to low, steady beats, all of which seem to playfully dance through some kind of cosmic aural nebula. Brendon grew up in Johannesburg, South Afri…

*100 copies limited edition* On their debut album (ii), London & Vienna-based duo Bara & Isa present their singular version of devotional music. Described by the duo as a "sort of document of personal development, and also the struggles of everyday motions", this is music which embraces contradictions.

“Florian T M Zeisig returns to his home at enmossed with an LP of new material titled Mossed Capable of Being Observant under a new moniker, Angel R. On this latest sonic offering, Angel R arranges the recordings with an undertone of hope, letting the aural dramaturgy unfold sans forced melancholia typical of the genres contemporary cliches.

These 2 evergreen albums, essential for savvy collectors of Scandinavian psych/prog, showcase the smooth progre…

*110 copies limited edition* "I recorded these sound fragments between 1998 and 2003 in and around the Lower East Side (LES), an area in New York City that extends roughly from Canal Street up to 14th Street and from the Bowery (3rd Avenue) to the East River. In the formative years of my cassette practice, I had a habit of walking around with my recorder and capturing very short snippets of sound – at times less than a second, as if taking a photo – as well as some longer segments of deep listen…

“Padre, fammi partire!” (Father, make me leave!). Franco Battiato, orphan of a father, sings this verse in "Da Orienta a Occidente". He declaims it solemnly and decisively. More than a request for a blessing, it is a declaration of intent. The force with which this prayer is recited admits of no weakness, no compromise and no obstacle. To leave is necessary. The volcano is there, showing the way. The power of this phrase reflects the impatience of a hawk that, tied to the arm of its falconer, wa…

Earlier this year she also had her debut album by her noise project Fallen Sun released by Fourth Dimension.

Jacob Long’s fourth full-length for Kranky began as a notion to reimagine Earthen Sea as a “piano trio,” inspired by a year-long immersion in the ECM label catalog, but the compositions soon grew more complex. Elements were chopped and resampled, then layered with bass, drums, percussion, and additional keys. The result is a fusion of live band acoustics and downtempo loops, sculpted into nine smoke-and-mirror dubs of fractured jazz, soft-focus noir, and trip-hop dust: Recollection. Like the tit…

This work has been created by Jerome Genin alias Magic Aum Gigi alias Diza Star, who played also in other groups affiliated to the Psychedelic rock of Acid Mothers Temple. The music goes back to the golden Krautrock years and is dedicated to the first Popol Vuh and Faust. The record thus shows two complementary sides, conceptually and musically different. The first side, called Attraction side, is fully electronic, thematically “attractive”, with a subversive magnetization. The first track inclu…
