If We Can't Dream, They Won't Sleep!!
*2025 stock* Strange connections -- Bilbao meets Japan via Berlin on a record that will put you in a constant state of WTF. ASMR rock? Post internet punk? A political manifesto in times of generalized madness? After his acclaimed 2017 destructo-punk single on Munster Records, Al Karpenter now delivers his mature, complex debut LP on the world's premier record label for adults, New York City's Ever / Never.
Al Karpenter is an elusive figure. On this record, he comes off like "Che" Guevara front…
The Forthcoming
*2025 stock* On their third album, Al Karpenter merges its singular vision with a host of collaborators. After finally becoming a band in 2022 with Marta Sainz and Enrique Zaccagnini from Santander joining Al Karpenter and Mattin, and in synchronicity with a recent CIA Debutante team-up, this group rises to the challenge of expanding its parameters. As Al Karpenter’s resident theoretician Mattin explains, “The last record was a result of the pandemic, introverted, isolated and with a blues energ…
Al Karpenter & CIA Debutante
*2025 stock* A collaboration between the Spanish Cabalists, Al Karpenter & French Rosicruanists, CIA Debutante, was not specifically foretold in the Fama Fraternitatis, but read between the lines, friend. That is where the truth lurks. The bilious Marxist splatter of the former, coursing alongside the dystopian surrealism of the latter, is a nefarious seance gambit born in the ether. Many voices are heard-fractious, cryptic, suffused, fading one into the other, the results often as hazy as the m…
Moral Grey
*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Sleepwalker was a one-off quintet assembled August 2023 to perform at the regional premiere of a Pauline Oliveros documentary film. Inspired by Oliveros' teachings, these recordings were made in a former tank garage (a space that was once used to store military tanks). Galassini spread contact mics throughout the resonate flooring of the space in order to amplify movement and other frictions alongside our more traditional instrumentation - creating the bas…
I'll Wait for You in the Car Park
"I'll Wait For You In The Car Park", the first full length collaboration between Argentinian cellist, improviser and composer Violeta García and Swiss musician and composer Hora Lunga, is a work of extremes. Drawing from the realities of life on two continents, and embodying moods ranging from stoic desire to violent bursts, the album enciphers so-called ordinary moments from everyday life into an alluring collection of musical scenes. Seemingly inconspicuous moments are condensed into a tale of…
Taipei, Beijing
*60 copies limited edition* Xu Shaoyang makes music about the fragmented beauty of everyday life. Over the years, he has sustained a fresh spirit of amateurism by travelling and performing in many different parts of the world, occasionally as a member of the avant-pop group Maher Shalal Hash Baz. His songs are made of simple tunes, sometimes silly sometimes smart, sometimes delivered with a “backing band” of improvising musicians who he met and collected along the way. Sometimes the karaoke work…
Gym Douce
* 200 copies limited edition. Comes with a Risograph pamphlet insert. * Permanent Draft founders Valentina Magaletti and Fanny Chiarello return with Gym Douce, a playful and surreal suite of percussion and spoken word that reimagines the gym as a space for sonic exploration. Across seven inventive tracks, the duo transforms everyday movement into a series of charming, oddball vignettes: “Reverse Fly” is an earworm of processed voice and unruly drum machine claps, while “Curtsy Lounges” veers fro…
An 424 (Expanded)
Trá Pháidín are an Irish nine piece collective from Conamara, Galway, a wild coastal region of West Ireland where Gaeilge (Irish-Gaelic) remains the first language in areas known as 'An Gaeltacht'.The group are currently lighting up Ireland's underground with their joyful noise, a unique and unpredictable blend of traditional Irish folk, post-rock, jazz, and Dadaist absurdity. The glorious album An 424 was mixed by John 'Spud' Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi, Goat Girl) and takes us on a psychogeogra…

Greatest Heads
*300 copies limited edition* Al Karpenter expands on their Post-Genre Punk approach reaching a new level of maturity. In fact, we can say that “Greatest Heads” is Al Karpenter’s “Remain in Light” from Talking Heads in the sense that it is also their fourth record, heavily based on production and is influenced by Afrobeat in distorted ways. This record contains elaborated liner notes by Eoin Anderson and features very special guests: “ “ [sic] Goldie, Lisa Rosendahl, and Mikel Xedh — a deeply imp…
Rilievo
"For many years, I collected every new Merzbow release. I stopped when I realised I couldn’t keep up with playing them; some were still in their shrinkwrap after a year. I didn’t keep up with Merzbow’s output in the last 15 years and only heard what I was sent. I had no idea what a collaboration between Merzbow’s Masami Akita and Agencement’s Hideaki Shimada would be like. The latter is a violin player whose first two LPs from the late 1980s are classics with hectic playing and might include som…
Transients I/O
*2022 stock* Transients I/O, the debut solo release from Andreas Kühne, captures a hidden city at the edge of the Earth. Based on field improvisations recorded from 2018–2020 in Murmansk (the largest city above the Arctic Circle) the two-part electro-acoustic album uses the sounds of objects across Murmansk to speculate on the identity of this remote city – and how its young inhabitants adjust to living there.
For Transients I/O, Kühne recorded site-specific musical improvisations with objects i…
The Persistence Of Memory (Early Tapes 1990-1993)
Palo Alto is a French group formed in Paris, France in 1989 by Jacques Barbéri, Denis Frajerman, Philippe Masson and Philippe Perreaudin. In their early interviews the group insisted on their musical filiation with Tuxedomoon, and on drawing their inspiration from Made to Measure, a Crammed Discs label. They would later make explicit their interest in bands such as Art Zoyd, The Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, The Residents, Can or Cabaret Voltaire. Science fiction in all its forms is a leitmotiv in …
Corsano Baiza Watt Trio
Yucca Alta Records is ecstatic to present our inaugural release: the debut, self-titled LP from the Corsano Baiza Watt Trio.
Sauerkraut
*2025 stock* In 2013, the collaboration of electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt and saxophonist Ilia Belorukov began in a trio with accordionist Jonas Kocher, and in 2014 the album Rotonda was released on Intonema. Since then, time has passed, Badrutt and Belorukov have toured also as a duo, Belorukov later switching to a modular synthesizer.
In March 2019 in Biel/Bienne, the duo fruitfully worked in a new context, looking for fresh ways to interact, not only with each other, but also between ele…
Zonal Disturbances II
Following Dirk Serries’ recent albums the composer continues to explore different sonic terrain. Still on the electric guitar with a motherboard of analog pedals, the 4 tracks on Zonal Disturbances II start to give signs of a new signature style of ambience Dirk is constructing. Organic, brooding and eerie. All recorded live on the spot creating music that still showcases the artist’s fondness for minimalism and slow repetitive clusters of sound while tying connections with his roots in industri…
La Lune
*2025 stock* Improvised blues indus bruitist cabaret and other sonic adventures. 300mA was born in 2004 from the spontaneous artistic union (still going strong 20 years on) of JF Plomb and Damien Grange. 300mA is injected into electroacoustic devices involving the striking, wriggling or squeaking contact of copper wires, springs, elastics and the like, while motor-driven machines are guided in their metallic percussion by Jean François Plomb (Gianfranco Piombo, Pied Gauche, Super Meilleur, Sklar…
ZERO,999...
After spending much of the last years focusing on the evolution of his own instrument, the drummophone, the release of ZERO,999… reveals a new paradigm in La Foresta's work and career. In this album he collects fragments of live performances and site-specific installations conducted over the last decade, with and without the drummophone — reimagining and repurposing them as compositional elements that he has interwoven with recent studio recordings and collaborations to form eleven viscerally po…
Mermaids Are Real
Mermaids Are Real is the collaborative project between Niki Dimitriadi & Selfish Limbs, based in Thessaloniki, GR. Their debut self-titled album explores themes like love, loneliness, and death, where the existential anguish alternates with a light-hearted playfulness. Spoken word, vocal live-looping, and drone soundscapes blend together with repetition and improvisation approaches. Somber fairy tales meet the dark ambient textures and together create a world where magic and reality can’t be dis…
Sketches For World of Echo/Open Vocal Phrases Where Songs Come In and Out
“Some of it sounds so pure and clear and I am picturing him huddled around all that gear, simply magical. In my memory he didn’t play ‘for’ the audience but was rather trying to perfect these various permutations of sound within himself…and a few of us just happened to be present.” – Tom Lee
Open Vocal Phrases, Where Songs Come in And Out & Sketches For World of Echo offers two intimate unedited Arthur Russell solo live performances recorded at Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia Foundation …
