Sexy Tears
'Sexy Tears' is a bold departure from Tristanne's (fka Tristan) critically acclaimed pop-jazz debut Wellif and lets you veer into uncharted territory, from the first tone, the bittersweet and haunting violin tones fade in on opener 'Steady Mouth'. In a split second, Tristanne lets you vanish in a dazzling matrix deep down a rabbit hole, a place where Piero Umiliani's 70s sleazy giallo era sensually resonates with Oneothrix Point Never goldwave frequencies. With a whisper of panting tension, her …
Contrary Motion
Tip! A collaboration between Steven Stapleton (Nurse with Wound) and Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), exploring the darkest regions of the airwaves and live electronics. It's an ominous trip into radio waves, processed voices, electronics, squeaky guitars and a mysterious labyrinth of echoing sonic disturbances.
The Air Outside Feels Crazy Right Now
Perila returns with a contemplative spiritual successor to her album »7.37/2.11«, which was also released on Vaagner’s sister label A Sunken Mall back in 2022. Featuring a collection of 8 pieces produced between 2021 and 2023, the album carries a serene vulnerability that underpins each work, drawing the listener in while gently grounding them amidst a drifting, ephemeral motion of echoing voices, droning guitars and sonorous soundscapes. Like a whispered conversation in the quiet moments of the…

*200 copies limited edition* "Cold Star: A Noise Inc." is a collaboration between Deison and Cranioclast.

Fans For Fans
*200 copies limited edition* A 'monolithic' experiment in extremely minimal non-music constructed in two long parts. If the first part is dominated by a background based on a single sound rich in harmonics that oscillates on its own wave-like vibrations, resting on a substrate of what can be at the same time a synthetic pink noise or the real 'capture' of a natural quasi-silence, in the second part a few sounds of a more overtly electric/electronic matrix, a tangle of faint high-pitched looped e…

Notturni
*200 copies limited edition* "Notturni", Germinal's second album, deepens and pays tribute to more distinctly dark ambient influences while maintaining a firm focus on compositional minimalism. Forgotten loops and samples, buried melodies, rattling refractions and mysterious litanies delineate misty country settings and dreamy urban situations, which can be traced back to a minimum denominator: nocturnal landscaping.
Azimuth
Azimuth is the first full-length collaboration from Tyresta (aka Chicago-based Nick Turner) and cellist Simon McCorry (Gloucestershire, UK), featuring a quintet of impressionistic arrangements that combine swells of harmonic guitar with delicately composed strings and accents of modular synth. The resulting formations convey both the acoustic resonance of chamber music, and the experimental wash and warmth of shoegaze, making for a unique creation that is equal parts meditative and narrative.
“S…

Dwell Time II
"Dwell Time II, the second installment in a trilogy of tape loop experiments from T.R. Jordan, begins fittingly with “Dynamics”, as a grainy, fluttering howl opens into voluminous spatial tones, while dulcet synthesizers swell between the stereo channels with melancholy, crystalline sweetness. Guiding his delicate world of sound through various technical and tactile manipulations, Jordan unearths sounds and textures that are otherwise not found in a natural state. Part of the fascination in work…
Suspension Blues
Suspension Blues (2020) is a collaborative audio-visual work conceived as an immersive, droning strobosphere. It is a model for an activated environment with an amalgam of pulsating light and color, high-frequency drones, and shimmering glissandi. The aural and visual elements function in direct and intentional relation with one another and by the selfsame perceptual mechanism. A total sensory field saturation instigates retinal and cochlear hyperactivation; long durational attendance is rewarde…
