Lub
Lub arrives like a controlled implosion. On this debut full‑length, SOF - a Berlin‑based Portuguese artist steeped in metal, noise and the more hostile edges of underground sound culture - treats the album format as a site of self‑preservation through destruction. Rather than slotting into any familiar subgenre lane, these tracks rip up the social contracts of song form: riffs don’t resolve where they “should,” structures don’t flatter attention spans, and there is no chorus waiting to offer cat…
Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse
Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse by Eugene McDaniels is a singular statement of early-70s soul dissent, bridging the realms of jazz, funk, and political activism. With inventive musicianship and lyrics addressing injustice, colonialism, and resistance, the album remains a powerful, relevant artifact, both musically adventurous and unflinching in its message.

The Pavilion of Dreams
2025 repress. For five decades, Harold Budd stood on the forefront of the West Coast avant-garde. Born in Los Angeles, he studied with Schoenberg-pupil Gerald Strang and began teaching at CalArts in 1970. While searching for his own voice, he was influenced as much by abstract expressionist painters as by John Cage and Morton Feldman. In his work, Budd brought delicate, slowing-moving melodies to the foreground – creating a new musical language based on “eternally pretty music” and smooth surfac…

Azabu

Next to abstracted field recordings 'Azabu' is also pervaded by a rich variety of percussion, string and wind instruments, all played by Ranta himself.

Dream Sequence of an Ancient Forest
Dream Sequence of an Ancient Forest gathers pieces composed between 2017 and 2023 into a continuous arc that feels less like a compilation and more like a slow, lucid dream. Across the album, Madli Marje Gildemann listens with almost scientific care to the smallest workings of the natural world – the secret exchanges of plants, the nocturnal trajectories of birds, the micro‑rhythms of an old‑growth forest – then lets imagination bloom around those observations. Her sound world is atmospheric and…
