2025 repress. "Natural Information Society, like their partners in time Bitchin Bajas, live their days in flow motion. Rhythms come and go, instruments sound as a means to a greater end. Music is the way of their life. Their debut convergence, Automaginary, feels as natural as it does inevitable. Both groups were first heard in 2010, both emerging from solo endeavors that accessed a vastness, more room than a single player might ultimately fill -- a place then for fellow travelers! Joshua Abrams…
Power trio brought together by Yann Gourdon on hurdy gurdy, Jérémie Sauvage on bass and Mathieu Tilly on drums, France take drone and minimalism at their most ecstatic and massive
Strong wind blows tumbleweed on unpaved streets of undisclosed desert settlement, dust and sand is in the air. Rusty shop sign of a small gas station dances and creaks in the hinges of its post. In the small bar, which serves as the only social establishment of this settlement, few habitues observe flickering unidentified object unsuccessfully trying to land on empty parking lot. Few of the habitues raise their beer bottles and cheer at the landing attempt, some of them are visibly excited about…
"Love-Fidelity or Hiss Goodbye" is Dmytro Nikolaienko’s fourth solo album released on Muscut. Similar to his previous work, "Meta," this new album adheres to the same principles and limitations, focusing on acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments. However, the range of instruments used is more expansive this time. In addition to the metallophone and tape, it features samples from bass guitar, xylophone, bongos, saxophone, clarinet, and flute. These samples were borrowed and then tape-looped fr…
*44 copies limited edition* "We met R Moro for the first time in December 2022, when we had the chance to share the Spettro stage in Brescia. We didn't know each other before and he totally grabbed us with his concert, a dreamy long suite that kept him busy shifting between keyboards, electric guitar, and electronic rythms. After another killer show at Troglobatem Festival 2023 we asked him some material for a release, and about an year later the music reached us.
This tape is R Moro's first r…
After four EPs of skeletal kraut-punk and slimmed down post-motorik alienage Milan’s Tv Dust are back with an entirely different beast, their proper debut ‘Transition’, an incredible collection of no-jazz, breakneck rhythms, mutant-wave, trance-funk, shredded sax jags and furious, yet mysterious assaults.
Tv Dust run a tight ship, they jam econo, with the album strongly based around the incredible interplay of drums (Sergio Tringali), bass (Filippo Aloisi) and sax/synth (newest member Gaetano Pa…
""Structurally Sound" is the fourth and final release by Baltimore/Australian band Smoke Bellow. Written over 2022 and 2023 at home in Baltimore, this record was born of the collaboration between founding members Christian Best and Meredith McHugh. "Structurally Sound" saw the duo partner with Baltimore percussionist Jen Kirby (Strange Times People Band) who had joined the band on many tours to promote 2021's "Open for Business" (Trouble in Mind).
"Structurally Sound" is the self-assured melding…
Toc loves encounters and saxophonists. Alongside saxophonist Paulina Owczarek, the trio crafts a music composed of desynchronized layers, a mille-feuille of raw energy where rhythms are both suggested and suggestive. By exploring autonomous temporalities, the musicians naturally converge, with the saxophone finding its place seamlessly within Toc’s improvised kraut maelstrom, where one might even glimpse a few psychedelic jellyfish, a flapjack octopus, or a harp sponge. Regularly crossing paths …

A feverish essay of transcendent drumming: Chris Corsano’ solo approach, rooted in the exploration of elements of extended technique, sought another level, via possibilities facilitated by a self-made string drum! The Key (Became The Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]) brings his encompassing focus on free improvisation and noise into a granular fusion with acoustic experiments and hot-wired ideations of hard rock riffing and the post-punk sound.

2024 stock. The Final Act of the “chromatic trilogy”, Brown is underpinned by a dual alchemy of Earthly matter and fascination of substance. The mechanical weaving of noises - rustles and dialogues, filtered via tape manipulation - merge with The Great Saunites sensibilites resulting in a dark and fragmented, delirious journey.
2024 stock. Controlled Bleeding was formed in 1978 in Boston. Over the years members have come and gone and the band has transformed and reinvented itself numerous times. In 2010 Paul Lemos remixed the Controlled Bleeding lineup. Drummer Tony Meola rejoined the band and Michael Bazini (a.k.a. DJ Butterface) came onboard to play electronics. The trio played a slew of live gigs in the New York City area, blasting audiences with an improvised instrumental mix of blistering guitar riffs, hypnotic ba…
In 2021, Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin convened in Stockholm’s Studio Rymden to bring forth several monstrously hypnotic improvisations, ultimately bearing their debut: 2022’s widely-acclaimed Ghosted. Two years on, Drag City is now pleased to announce the release of Ghosted II, out on April 26, 2024. Here, Oren, Johan and Andreas have crafted a follow-up record that fuels a rock-solid foundation with years of performing live together as a trio: a fulmination of propelling g…
La Scie Doree returns with an absolute stunner, the LP “Atlantic Crossing”, a reissue of a rare privately released cassette recorded by the Bayerischer Rundfunk, from 1988
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Kinematik spent the best part of 2020 under lockdown, trying to come to grips with Lebanon's and the world's new realities, battling societal, economical and sanitary hurdles and obstacles. In October 2020, upon receiving an invitation from Irtijal Festival in Beirut to perform in its 20th edition, the former trio evolved into a full-blown ensemble, comprising a total of 6 musicians - the core line-up of Anthony Sahyoun, Rudy Ghafari and Akram Hajj was jo…
The second volume of the Air series is even more abstract, stringing together eleven untitled chapters in a zero gravity journey aptly dubbed “Traveling Without Moving: The Trip.” The album lives up to that loose aforementioned tagline, imagining an ever-elusive search for meaning in the interzone Namlook never really abandoned. A lot of live recorded percussion in conjunction with environmental sounds is giving this album a more human touch. Over 60 minutes in one go, eleven "trips" on this wor…
A journey across desperate continents and human worlds in freefall. Between psychedelic electronic music, tortured melodies with hints of weeping arpeggios that crash on ambient industrial waves. Occasionally, a male or female voice… some french occult electronic !?
"Ray Collector" features recordings sourced from tapes produced by Carsten Nicolai for his 2023 solo exhibition Strahlen/Raggi at Fondazione Modena Arti Visive. In February 2022, Carsten Nicolai dispatched ten parcels from Berlin to various destinations. Each package contained a blank magnetic tape cassette, an Ilford Delta 3200 ISO 1000 black-and-white film, and a Kodak ISO 800 color negative film. All parcels were addressed to the same recipient, Mr. Nemo, the unforgettable captain of the subm…
*2023 stock* "On their second album Material, originally released on Sky Records in 1981, Moebius & Plank ventured far, far away from the double coordinates of the Harmonia world and pop music cosmos. Amazingly, they did not find themselves floating in space, but made an exemplary landing, avoiding getting caught between a rock and a hard place. Material saw them generate a form of genre-busting electronic music, more radical than anything one might have expected to come out of Germany, not even…
