Upcoming releases

Celebrating the 100th release on Kit, The Hague artist — and overseer of esteemed Plafond and Rubber imprints — Ruben Verkuylen squints through the telescope to reveal a high-rise debut of constructivist electronics and domestic bricolage, as The Social Lover. 'Vertical Vignettes' looms like a cutaway apartment block of overlapping lives and skintled brickwork. These are less songs than scenes; inspired in equal measure by Jacques Tati's 'Playtime' and Georges Perec's 'Life: A User's Manual', Ve…

“…pretty wild… with aspects of surrealism… a strange sort of pathos… a kind of absurdity… a kind of muted spectacularism…” — Neil Luck Nonclassical presents the latest instalment of the Outside the Lines-compilation series, co-curated with artist and composer Neil Luck, out on limited edition cassette and digital on 23rd October. Outside the Lines Vol. 8 brings together a seemingly disparate group of UK-based artists working in the gaps between composition, spoken word, performance art and elect…

Markus Müller's 288-page history of the Globe Unity Orchestra at sixty: Schlippenbach's liner notes, photographs by Gérard Rouy and Cristina Marx, interviews with Schlippenbach and George Lewis, new texts by Corbett, Lake and Gustafsson.

Since his 2013 debut album, Body Issues, Max Ravitz—better known to you and me as Patricia—has been zeroing in on the kernel of an idea. Across seven albums for labels like Opal Tapes, Spectral Sound/Ghostly International, and Acid Test, he’s applied his hand to a lean, focused vision of electronic music, paring away excess to lavish attention on carefully sculpted acid lines, stealthy drum programming, and warmly emotive melodies. For all their restraint, though, his tracks could never be calle…

Duo of Lino Capra Vaccina and Luca Formentini recorded during a five-day residency at Ritmo e Blu Studio in 2025, five movements between improvisation and composition; CD in digisleeve.

Dragonaut Dub …

A powerful "electric Miles" sounding band reinterprets a couple of classics  - In A Silent Way and Freedom Jazz Dance - and adds some wholly contemporary improvisation to the mix."2026 Is Miles and Coltrane's Centenary year and if Jazz music needs any Gods then surely they fit the bill without question. When I heard In a Silent Way for the first time back in 1970 when I was 17 (incidentally that was the first year I heard Coltrane as well) it truly was music like nothing I had ever heard before.…

Intervals of waiting, in the in-between mind, strumming a keyboard as if for the first time. From sample to simple, child to child, womblike cocoon when awake, the world crumbling at night. They "dream the dream forward”, these lullabies. "Intervallo" is the second release by Teresa Cos on Futura Resistenza. It is no coincidence that it bears the same name as the last song in her previous one (Karnofsky's Score, RESCD005). What was then a reflection on the interval between diagnosis and death, i…

*250 copies limited edition* First & Last Records is proud to present the first-ever reissue of Daisuke Honda’s Love Songs, a deeply personal, holy-grail private press album originally released in 1977. At just 20 years old, Daisuke Honda was an enigmatic vagabond from Osaka who had left home after high school to wander and write songs. Possessing no grand ambitions of becoming a professional musician, Honda simply felt compelled to record the music he was creating. To bring the project to life,…

Debut of the New England singer, songwriter and naturalist Harper Bull as Allison Graves: breathy, worn-in songs recorded with a secondhand guitar and a broken laptop, between Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan and Adrianne Lenker. First vinyl edition on Important.

"Still flying under the radar but already something of a cult figure, Baldruin has patiently shaped a singular musical world where mystical synth folk meets a deeply personal vision of traditional music, drawing equally from Eastern and Western sources. On Aventüren, Johannes Schebler expands this universe even further, offering a unique take on musical minimalism refracted through his own dreamlike aesthetic.Raised in the rectory of a small Bavarian village, Schebler spent his childhood as an a…

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…

Omni Gardens is the experimental ambient/new age project by Moon Glyph head Steve Rosborough. Recorded at home in Portland during the early days of covid, "Moss King" is relaxed home listening for difficult times. The first Omni Gardens release, “West Coast Escapism”, was expansive with a broad selection of soothing synth tones and morphing samples. In contrast, "Moss King" is a smaller, more intimate affair, full of fuzzy new age moog drifters and self-captured field recordings. The tracks boun…

It's taken almost 50 years for the long-lost original score and soundtrack to Abel Ferrara's 1979 grindhouse / video nasty "The Driller Killer" to finally be released. Composed by Joe Delia, it features contributions from Tony Coca-Cola And The Roosters, and classical pieces by J.S. Bach."Driller Killer was a crash course in real time to scoring music to picture. We sat around the Steenbeck scoring directly to Jackie's 2 track Tandberg deck. We had two synthesizers... an ARP odyssey and an ARP s…

These are a small set of sound conversations - based on soil that is nearing 30 years worth of riches, stories and spirit. The fuel is made of components from the realms of rhythmic obsession, texture, melodic seeds and waves of harmonic interest in brief holding patterns. These are meeting present day explorations of the vibraphone and piano - via conventional and extended techniques: those from the classroom and those personal expressions based of a myriad of experiences with different instrum…

Each composition on Padesip, the debut project from Brussels-based electronic artist Gijs Milius, splices together disparate ways of seeing and hearing. Though most of the songs are between 2 and 3 minutes long, they feel rich, embodied, and surprising, full of left turns and tiny moments of tension that you want to comb through the composition to hear again. Listening to these curious and tactile compositions feels a bit like using a viewfinder toy to flip between images of lakes, canyons, and …

*200 copies limited edition* Rootless is Andy Guthrie’s fourth album for Students of Decay, following 2022’s Gyropedie. Created in part during a 2024 residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts, it finds the San Francisco-based multi-instrumentalist expanding the hermetic electroacoustic language of their earlier work into something even more open-ended and oneiric. Field recordings mingle with French horn, piano, electronics and, increasingly, the human voice, forming environments whose fami…
