A Tutti gli Uragani che ci Passarono Accanto
An introspective journey into darkness through an oblique and fascinating song form. This, and much more, in Enten Hitti's beautiful new album. There is something particularly transcendental about 'A Tutti gli Uragani che ci Passarono Accanto', the new Enten Hitti album released on 25 May 2020 by Lizard and ADN Records. It is a work that welcomes the song form, but dished out with the classic researched and experimental approach that has distinguished the band's work in recent years.

Putredini Obnoxius

Unlit Trail
Recorded over the course of three Autumn nights on the west coast of Sweden at the end of a tour in 2018, Fletcher Tucker’s Unlit Trail is a record of ritual, and an invitation to enter a ritual domain. Composed in the wake of Tucker’s intricately arranged LP Cold Spring, Unlit Trail decomposes and subsumes several songs and sonic elements from that previous work – offering them resurrection in a minimalistic and Plutonian habitat. An uncanny territory populated by trembling leaves, breathing or…
Selected Works 1985-2005

Interregno
** Edition of 500. Includes booklet with photos and texts in Portugues and Spanish ** The second album by the legendary Swiss artist and composer, based in Brazil, Walter Smetak, opened a new field of exploration within his own musical horizon.

Livets Ord
** Limited edition of 300 copies with insert ** From the early days of the found-sounds recordings (like the downright scary Unga Röster album and the hilarious Mandys Bil 7"), the homespun kitchen recordings/tape collages of the still-going Idiotmusik series to the more carefully elaborated and precise Leendet Från Helvetet and Knutna Nävar albums, the massive Livets Ord dropped like a bomb when it originally surfaced as a self-released cassette in 2018.
