Hell Bank Note (1993 - 1995)
Burning Love Jumpsuit were an Underground Irish band of movie obsessive shut ins who had access to a computer. They were active between 1991 – 2002. A three-piece of proto-edgelords, (D.F. Dresden, Smiley, J. Bassetti) Burning Love Jumpsuit jammed and sampled their way to notoriety in the 1990s, making experimental music that was equal parts thought-provoking funk and stroke-inducing gunk. A penchant for sleazy Americana, obscure movies and exploitative daytime telly inspired a pool of samples t…
Lights In The Pond
Lights In The Pond is a contemplative exploration of a dilated dimension. Layers of natural field recordings form a landscape inhabited by rarefied melodies that unravel and chase each other until they tear apart.A bioluminescent pool, scanned by the technological remnants of a hidden humanity.
Lights In The Pond is the solo project of Davide Amici, born in 1987 in a small town on the Adriatic coast. Over the years, he dabbled in various genres and played many instruments, mastering none and enj…
Tokokawa
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* “This collaborative release presents three immersive movements of avant-electronics full of unexpected tonal contrasts and shifts in intensity. Powered by modular synthesis, “concrete” assemblage technique and a pervasive desire to work with the full spectrum of sound. Tokokawa is the product of its two producers’ commitment to a dynamic, ever-renewing sense of aesthetics.” -Thomas Bey William Bailey
Composed from 2023 to 2024, these three pieces present a deep …
Postal Pieces
Marking its first decade of activity, Blume returns with the first ever vinyl release to attend to the seminal American composer James Tenney’s “Postal Pieces”, among the most important suites of 20th Century avant-garde composition.
The Long Shadow Falls
The Long Shadow Falls is Current 93's first-ever CD box-set, and is as beautiful as the moon! This gorgeous, elaborate, boxset consists of 7CDs, plus a 7" single, and a beautiful 48-page art-book. The Long Shadow Falls collects the 41 unknown and redreamt mixes that C93 created for two (long-ago sold-out) lathe-cut 12" releases, respectively titled The Long Shadow Falls and Why Can't We All Just Walk Away?, which were both issued in editions of just 39 copies, cut by The Bricoleur at Bladud Flie…
Black
'Black' is a musical eulogy to Amy Winehouse, a heartfelt memorial to a sorrowful demise. Its an album of predominantly beatless ambience possessed by the ghost of 'Back to Black'. Fragmented moods and hypnotic drones melt together as its circular beauty is set adrift, floating away into an endless void, where the original only remains in spirit alone. It doesn’t make particular sense why I was drawn to this idea and compelled to immerse myself in the original song, and her life in general, but …
Ether Hymns
*2024 stock. 120 copies limited edition* Ether, in the literary sense, can be defined as 'the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.', or more informally as 'air regarded as a medium for radio'. Music, as well as the inspiration for it, are ephemeral in nature. In making this album, I often thought about the manner in which the sounds and patterns that form a piece of music are brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener's space, evolve over time, and d…
To Dream Is To Destroy
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* This is the fourth studio album of Kryptogen Rundfunk and the first one since the project moved from Russia to the Netherlands. Six tracks full of weird trademark radio noises and interceptions, heavy bass drones and piercing high frequencies, abstract electronic signals and quirky samples. These layered compositions are slowly building up, creating thick mesmerizing walls of sound, yet at the same time leaving room for a bit of flippancy. An uneasy ride f…
Thousand Oceans
*100 copies limited edition* "My initial idea for this album was to create a sequel to "Above The Desert" and explore guitar drones again. I used to record guitar drones daily, but having a clear concept influenced the outcome. Listening to the recorded songs, I noticed an unexpected number of Fender-type guitars and fewer Les Pauls, my usual main instrument. I combined new guitar effects and processed the improvised material in various ways. In guitar drones, the difference between Gibson and F…
Above The Desert
*50 copies limited edition* "Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord". - John Cage
"I recorded this album in the basement studio. I recorded the sound output from the guitar amp and the speaker. The sound seemed to be blowing. In this album I worked underground in th…
Tilwin
*150 copies limited edition* Tilwin (meaning 'colouring' in Maltese, Robert's native tongue) started being written during the summer of 2023 and was concluded on the last day of that year. The album reflects some major life events Robert Farrugia encountered throughout that same year. Tilwin is an attempt at embracing a period of lows and highs, an effort of encapsulating these experiences within recordings. Each event described here is coloured in Robert's mind by a 'hue', that was then reflect…
Patio User Manual
On his third album as Etelin, Alex Cobb explores the intricacies of separation and belonging using field recordings and electronics, reconfiguring the dividing line between what is artificial and natural in the process. Maintaining a sense of playful reverence and lurking melancholy in its glitchy pastoralism, Patio User Manual hums with a meticulous and singular energy. From the loops and static pulses of "The Chemistry of Cobalt" to the tension and release of "Electrical Sailing," the listener…
Athos: Echos from the Holy Mountain
Mount Athos, known as the «Holy Mountain,» is a monastic peninsula in northeastern Greece, central to Eastern Orthodox monasticism for over a millennium. Its twenty monasteries house around 2,000 monks dedicated to prayer and worship, which songs have echoed across the Aegean Sea for centuries, heard only by visiting pilgrims, isolated from conventional time and global events. After several years of research, and several visits to the retired community, we are happy to present our new project «A…
De Silenti Natura
Biomes are little worlds of organic relationships, full of struggles, symbiosis, and sheer obsolete noise. In "De Silenti Natura," Henrique Vaz is meticulously crafting synthetic auditory biomes, sprouting from their own fuzzy logic. Unfolding across two distinct acts, the Brazilian artist interprets and replicates the complex, often ambiguous sounds of (un)natural environments, creating imaginary systems to inhabit over two sides of tape. The soundscape of the first side and title track is enti…
Tour Of Japan
Gilles Peterson: "Fascinating… love this. Thoroughly recommended". The Observer: "The focus is on great grooves and fine playing. A band to seek out." The Guardian: "Delightfully quirky album of folk songs reimagined from Afrobeat to reggae"
Minyo Crusaders return with theiir highly anticipated sophomore album Tour Of Japan following on from their debut that has sold 4k on vinyl since release and their runaway single smash 'Cumbia Del Monte Fuji' that has almost hit 5million streams on Spotify. …
A Journey of Wanderings & Wonderings From Summerisle
A Journey Of Wanderings & Wonderings From Summerisle is a special zine that dives into the actual myths and contexts that underpin The Wicker Man, the 1973 film that’s often held up as one of the greatest ever made. Stone circles, pagan rituals, even the history of apples… a wonderful deep dive for fans.
Folklore Activist - The Art of Ben Edge
Ben Edge’s paintings capture a unique vision of British calendar customs and folklore. Although we have seen a resurgence of interest in these matters of late, when he began painting folk traditions in the last decade, Ben was an anomaly by virtue of placing such subjects at the centre of his practice.
Folklore Activist is a 40-page visual primer showcasing Ben’s artwork alongside an in-depth interview with Weird Walk, plus the print debut of his essential Folklore Activist Manifesto.
Sounding Things Out: A Journey through Music and Sound Art
2024 stock. Sound is ephemeral. It does not belong to anyone. It cannot be captured in words. Writing on sound art usually focuses on the same familiar figures, but this treatment will broaden the field to explore artistic practitioners like the godfather of movie sound, Walter Murch, the king of the jungle Chris Watson, naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, pioneer wildlife recordist Ludwig Karl Koch, American pioneer composer and master teacher James Fulkerson, uncompromising compose…
Valie Export: In Her Own Words
2024 stock. This volume published by Yilmaz Dziewior and Katrin Sauerländer is the first in the Museum Ludwig's new series "In their own words." The series is dedicated to contemporary artists who, in addition to their visual oeuvre, have produced texts that take an independent approach to the concerns of their times and presents, above all, approaches that have proved influential and continue to inform current debates.
Valie Export is regarded as one of the most important international pioneers…
