Rozzo
*200 copies limited edition* "Rozzo was born from the encounter between Jacopo Benassi and Untitled Noise (Michele Lombardelli and Luca Scarabelli): artists and musicians who, in different ways, operate between the visual and the sonic, understood as autonomous expressions that develop on parallel levels. Despite their different research and poetics, their sound production is united by a decisive experimentalism and a distant punk matrix, a common need to be in liminal and fluid territory, delib…
Melting The Earth Onto The Body Without Organs
*2023 stock* "The new Sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. Tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. Familiar but new. Precise funk made of techno frequencies. Reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. "Melt" is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. "Earth" is the landscape: you can visualize it. "Organs" is…
Volume One
Pre-Echo Press present Beast, a new project and moniker from acclaimed sound/visual artist, Koen Holtkamp (Mountains). A somewhat radical departure from Holtkamp's previous working modes -- where sound has typically been treated as an edifice to be sculpted -- the works here are far more concerned with the generative possibilities of rhythm. The pieces on Beast developed out of Holtkamp's creation in 2016 of an audio-visual performance that centers on the physical properties of light via 3…

Rough Tongue
Beam Splitter (Audrey Chen and Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø) is a duo for amplified voice and trombone. Beam Splitter‘s debut album Rough Tongue on Corvo Records is one part, a timbral collage of carefully extracted sound material and in another, a longer moment taken from an intimate room below the din. All tracks are taken from three live concerts in 2016. Utilizing the pure sounds of acoustic and closely amplified trombone and voice, the record exemplifies the joining together of these two i…
The Wrong Echo
** Deluxe Gatefold LP, edition of 300** Mistakes. Tape hiss. Accidents. Layers. Residue. Skips. Internal feedback loops. Chance. All of these have a place in Steve Bates’ work. While sonically operating more in an electronic or even rock-mode, The Wrong Echo was crafted largely through long-distance collaborations and written, re-written, assembled and re-assembled in the studio using approaches developed in Jamaican dub music of the 1970’s. “I grew up listening to punk and reggae music and want…

Acid Tracts represents the…

Oats is his new full-length record with 6 deep compositions woven together to create seamless tran…

Mueller th…
Scroll
Before forming outer limits jazz-rock outfit Badge Époque Ensemble, Max Turnbull masterminded the oddball pop persona Slim Twig, wrote and performed with U.S. Girls, and moonlighted in varyingly experimental groups across his native Toronto. While this was going on, the devout cratedigger had his third eye trained on another project—one that would span the breadth of his mercurial creativity. This “journal album,” as he puts it, is titled Scroll, and it collages together the pearls of Turnbull’s…
Future, Past & Present
Barely a season passed in 2019 between the release of Badge Époque Ensemble’s self titled debut album, and its follow up, the disco-sleeved 12” Nature, Man & Woman. Now, 3 months on from the release of the group’s acclaimed sophomore album Self Help, we find them repeating the trick with a surprise fourth title on Telephone Explosion Records, the fittingly titled Future, Past & Present. A compilation of sorts, the album collects instrumental, alternate mix versions of all BÉE songs which origina…

The Collapsing Middle
"Debut solo full length album from Jack Allett; a skilled British guitarist formerly known as Spoono. The Collapsing Middle is his third release for Blackest Rainbow following a split with Cam Deas and a hugely limited CDr, but no mind if you missed them because this is probably his best work yet. The A-side Place, Memory and Forgetting is a stirring display of fluid finger picking and swirling, psyched-out space noises flowing and sweeping against each other in a distinctly individual style. Th…

All That We See or Seem
