The Next 60 Years
Thomas Bush faces up to the demons of England old with his third solo outing of crumpled ’n creased DIY chamber pop abstraction, this time for Guy Gormley’s Jolly Discs.
Blazing Worlds
In ‘Drowned World’, J.G. Ballard offers a kind of descriptive visionary harkening of potential planetary evolution,”The solar disc was no longer a well-defined sphere, but a wide expanding ellipse that fanned out across the eastern horizon like a colossal fire-ball, its reflection turned the dead leaden surface of the lagoon into a brilliant copper shield. By noon, less than four hours away, the water would seem to burn.” Recorded during a week long Midwest summer scorcher, Blazing Worlds expand…
Never Use The Same Door Twice

In Softening Air
Relaxer follows up the eerie, floating vistas of 2022's "Force Field: A Guide for the Perplexed" with the mercurial, poetic descent "In Softening Air.” Combining spoken word with spacious, enveloping sound design, this album spelunks into moist, mossy, fleshy crevices of the psyche. We cannot help but to meet ourselves in dreams. Sorrows & lamentations, shit talking, punk rock, apps, phlegm, studies in depth psychology, rat piss - it's all here, presented in a gentle, loving tableau, and recited…
Sonic Behaviour
Sonic Behavior by Driftmachine & Ammer is an album exploring the origins of sound, noise, and various music genres. Alongside lyrical declarations of love for noise (“Song to Noise”), the album delves into sonic reflections on how beauty and emotion emerge from mundane vibrations in the air ("A Siren Is A Simple Device"). For the first time, the analog sound researchers of Driftmachine (Andreas Gerth, Florian Zimmer) incorporate spoken language and noise into their sound research. They have coll…
Brain Flakes
After achieving some decent notoriety, and not only in Italy, as an electro-pop duo (thanks mainly to the single 'Short Wave, a small 'classic' in the early years of that decade), between January 1982 and March 1983 Ruins morphed into a new five members line-up. With this fresh option, Ruins restructured the previous repertoire and produced entirely new material. The original 4 track recording had remained largely unpublished at the time and seemed irretrievably lost. However, thanks to persist…

Blanton Ravine
*2024 stock* “‘Blanton Ravine’ begins with the metallic debris of a noisy sound collage work before slowly ascending into a songform that pulls in rhythmic edits, soulful vocals, and horn arrangements. This happens throughout the first album by Public Speaking, the project of Brooklyn artist Jason Anthony Harris, but it gets no less thrilling as the record eventually runs past the hour mark… That this is Harris’ debut full-length is most surprising: he crafts coherent songs out of abstract proce…
New State of Flux
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* New State Of Flux was conceived by Raffaele Pezzella, head of the Unexplained Sounds network of aural disorientation, after Swedish label Reverse Alignment became a part of the network at the beginning of 2021. The extremely fine work released by label founder Kristian Widqvist from its inception in 2007 and over the next 13 years is a rare example of integrity and quality in terms of aesthetic choices, creating a collection of minimalist and isolationist…
About You
*50 copies limited edition* Prolific outsider artist Andrew G. Thomson - aka AyGeeTee - brings his unique sonic language to Kit Records, with a frenetic peep into a sprawling archive of unreleased work. About you mutates through elastic synthesis, torporific loops, dislocated percussion and the splattered voices of AyGeeTee's backing group, The Actress Pets. What begins life as a dervish of repurposed instrumental fragments (‘Today’s W’), ghosts into mantric pop irreverence (‘Troubled Dinghy'), …

Six Crossings

Disarmo o Sterminio?
Tip! From the dusty archives of a TV station, a handful of instrumental pieces, originally recorded as musical commentary for a series of historical documentaries. The topic is the Cold War: the areas of influence, the balance of power, the threat of the Third World War, the dream of a future of peace and unity.
