Upcoming releases
Baby Ghost
»Baby Ghost« is the debut album by double bassist and vocalist Jordan Sand. Released through Hallow Ground, it blurs the lines between different genres and modes of expressions, improvisation and composition and showcases the unique playing style the composer has developed. Sand blends her voice with the bowed harmonics and subharmonics of her double bass. At once conceptually rigorous and musically open-ended, Sand’s wordless meditations on death and what comes after are both visceral and explo…
Rapid Response
Three long-form compositions that peer through a glimmering aperature into diaphanous realms of textural experiences: “What are the pros and cons of being lost in a thought?”
Figures
*50 copies limited edition* Paul Sakai identifies as a cultural nomad, existing between cultural and physical spaces. Born in the United States, they are a yonsei Japanese American raised as part of the international community in Southeast Asia as a Third Culture Kid. Their work is an act of grounding – a practice of connecting their present body to place, people, and cultural histories. Their project, Roy Kiyo, is an extension of this practice. Works under this project are broadly catalogued as…
Presage
*50 copies limited edition* »presage« is an act of sonic foraging: shortwave radio transmissions and field recordings were collected around Helsinki, then assembled and transformed into two long-form pieces. Collecting radio brings with it a particular uncertainty, as signals may have travelled enormous distances before arriving stripped of their context and misted with static, interference, and the imprint of atmospheric conditions. A field recording is a more certain and geographically secure …
Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning”
We are proud to release Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning” by the eminent Warren Burt: composer (and performer, writer, instrument builder, educator) of genius. Burt was born in 1949 in the USA, and moved to Australia in 1975. Throughout his long and inspired career, his expansive aesthetic has eagerly embraced microtonality, improvisation and technology, fusing these elements in often humorous and/or irreverent compositions based on live interaction with intelligent or semi-intellige…
A Study on Tension
Rather than offering a single narrative, A Study on Tension unfolds as an atmosphere. The tape focuses on the thresholds between attraction and resistance, intimacy and distance, stability and collapse. Its fragmented structure invites the viewer to remain attentive to small gestures, pauses, interruptions, and the accumulation of pressure over time.
Burning Song
Kali Malone's first solo album since All Life Long, recorded over two nights on the Bach Organ of Leipzig's Thomaskirche with Lucy Railton and Stephen O'Malley. Seven pieces that abandon canon form for a slower, more intuitive unfolding of chords, steps and bridging tones.
Haulitorni
Two side-long improvisations recorded in a spring evening beneath a 1908 shot tower. That is the whole record, and it is enough. Fysiikka ja Kemia - Physics and Chemistry - surfaced in late 2025 with Biologia, a debut LP on Tampere's Ultraääni Records that the label summed up in a single line: rural psych-jazz improvisations by the Finnish bastard sons of Arbete & Fritid. Three hundred copies, each sleeve screen-printed by hand by the band, gone quickly. We Jazz picked a track for their Friends …
Iuvt
Lmited to 150 units Annie Bloch’s luvt is a quiet reorientation of the organ: away from its monumental image and ritualised spaces, towards the delicate mechanics of touch, air and friction. Across seven compositions marking her debut on OOH-sounds, the Cologne based organist and composer turns to the chest organ, a small and mobile counterpart to its larger relative, traditionally used to accompany Baroque music. On luvt, Bloch limits herself to just three stops of wooden pipes, using the instr…
Hidden Hour
On Hidden Hour, marine eyes preserves eighteen moments of dawn, dusk and chosen solitude in a full hour of luminous ambient drift. Cynthia Bernard’s guitars, lap steel, soft synths and field recordings turn nearby forests, coastlines and mountains into slow-moving emotional maps - music for stepping outside routine and hearing time soften.
Upsetters 14 Dub Black Board Jungle
One of the most influential dub albums ever made. The remixing techniques used – radically new for 1973 – helped transform the role of the producer and the engineer to that of creative artists in their own right.
Eternal Almost
“Eternal Almost” is a collaborative album by Japanese musician Tomo Katsurada and Estonian composer Misha Panfilov. Born from the simple joy of songwriting and creative exchange, Tomo and Misha had long admired each other’s music from afar. When the opportunity to collaborate finally arrived, it felt completely natural, and by the time the album was finished, it almost seemed as though the two had known each other always.
United by a shared sense of humour and musical curiosity, Tomo and Misha p…
Fragments
*100 copies limited edition* Bishu Chattopadhyay’s Fragments is a collection of nine compositions shaped by movement, memory, improvisation, and the passage between worlds. Born and raised in Kolkata and now living in New York, Chattopadhyay has spent much of his life moving between musical and cultural landscapes. The album reflects that experience without attempting to resolve it: fragments of a life, fragments of a time, fragments of a world in which beauty and uncertainty exist side by side.…
Electric Weasel Ensemble
Tip! Shifting continuously between minimalistic patterns, intricate soundscapes, and evolving textures of overlapping electronic sonorities, The Electric Weasel Ensemble presents a missing link in the history of electronic music. It is a series of previously unreleased live recordings from a little-known but trailblazingensemble of improvisers—equipped with a unique embrace of invented instruments and distinctly 1970s avant-garde sensibilities. This historic music is available on both double LP …
Drumming, Recordings on ECM
* Discounted Bundle * Two three-LP boxes, released together on 2 October for Steve Reich's ninetieth birthday, covering the years 1974 to 1982 in full.
Drumming; Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ; Six Pianos is the Deutsche Grammophon set of 1974, recorded at the Polydor Studios in Hamburg that January by Steve Reich and Musicians, with Cornelius Cardew on glockenspiel in the final part. It was the first time a box set had been given to a minimalist composer. This edition has been r…
Crisis Make Up!
"On ‘Crisis Make Up!’ the long awaited second album from Slaylor Moon, we draw deeper into the intimate sonic world of Canadian musician Sydney Koke. This time, her sensual minimalism and disjointed abstraction is even more striking as she addresses one of the most fundamental quandaries of electronic music - that of the human agent and its presence in the synthetic world of the machine. The choice to eschew computerised arrangements in favour of physical gestures - be it pushing keys, buttons, …
tv2
Portland producer devonwho returns to Leaving Records for new album of self-described “modern instrumental synthesiser funk therapy” TV2, an expansive collection of intuitively crafted loops and non-ambient ambience for hardware synthesis.
Marking the tenth anniversary of devonwho’s relationship with Leaving Records, TV2 represents the producer’s first new work since 2021. “I was overthinking releasing music,” devonwho reveals, “but I’ve reached a place of enjoyment with production. Not worried …
Second Skin (1975-1983)
Corbett vs. Dempsey is honored to present the first comprehensive compilation of the music of Jon Waine, culled and curated from original 1970s/80s master tapes, home recordings, and rehearsal documentation, featuring provocative and legendary artist Pope.L in a little-known musical guise.
In 1975, two college kids, Brian McCormack and William Pope, started making music in their dorm room at Montclair State University, in Montclair, New Jersey. Early on, they christened their endeavor Jon Waine.…
Embryo
This album is not merely a meeting of musicians—it is a ritual of wood, metal, skin, and breath. A quiet spell that grows into an ecstatic dance. Embryo on Kryptox: a new chapter in an endless journey—shimmering, borderless, and open as the horizon itself. For more than five decades, Embryo has been moving between worlds. Founded in Munich in 1969, the internationally connected collective is not a conventional band but a living organism: Kraut rock dissolves into jazz, free improvisation merges …
Mettasun
Vocalist, producer and musical visionary Jimetta Rose announces the release of solo album MettaSun, via our dub label Day Dreamer. Inspired by the interplanetary mythologies of Sun Ra, MettaSun reimagines a selection of the cosmic jazz pioneer’s most iconic recordings through Jimetta’s unique lens – a powerful expression of the female imaginary and a positive vision of radical hope and Black joy amid the chaos of contemporary America. MettaSun is Jimetta Rose’s solo opus. Embracing the Sun Ra’s …
