Dedicated to Messiah of Evil
Jay comes back to Angst with a mesmerizing new work, dedicated to one of our favorite movies: “Messiah of Evil’’, 1973 cult nightmarish melancholic horror directed by Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. Ominous, tense and hallucinating noise.
Until I Met You
In a new duo collaboration that defies conventions and background, Midori Takada and Jakob Bro took up residence in Tokyo’s Avaco Studios to record their first album, あなたに出会うまで / Until I Met You. The title, taken from a Midori Takada composition, refers to the spiritual bond that arises in every new friendship, whether in music or in life.

Milan
"In 2016, I invited Norman Westberg to Australia for his first solo tour. He’d been in Australia a few years before that, touring The Seer with Swans, and it was during this tour that I’d had the fortune to meet him. Since that time Norman and I have worked on a number of projects together. He very kindly played some of the central themes on my Cruel Optimism album and I had the pleasure to produced his After Vacation Album. Last year Norman shared a multichannel live recording with me from a to…
Racines Synthetiques
On Racines Synthétiques, Joël Fajerman and Jan Yrssen plant electronic seeds in pastoral soil: vintage synths, sequencers and string machines tracing lyrical miniatures that imagine nature re‑composed through early‑digital circuitry.
Et après...
Mémoriance’s Et après... is a cinematic slice of French symphonic prog: narrative suites, mellotron swells and dramatic vocals unfolding like a dystopian concept film scored for rock band and orchestra in miniature.
The Fire Still Burns
45 years after his debut album Valley of Search (1975/India Navigation), jazz saxophonist Alan Braufman returns. The Fire Still Burns has that gritty, forthright sensibility we hope to hear in sonic collaborations borne out of beauty and struggle, but there’s a populist ease that comes with age and reflection. Put simply it’s natural music – complementary, individual, and full of the sweet, hot taste of celebration.
Valley of Search
The first ever reissue of the 1975 free jazz album originally released on India Navigation. What we know of Downtown New York comes from the countercultural and creative flowering that emerged in lower Manhattan in the 1960s, attributable to cheap live-work spaces called lofts. These were often abandoned and disused small manufacturing spaces and they became a nexus for artistic practice and life. From a jazz perspective, lofts were alternatives to the club scene, and they gained notoriety in th…

Musical Instruments from Prehistory: the Paleolithic
Tip! Art of Primitive Sound is a sensational journey to the origin of Music. In his crucial research chapter on the Paleolithic, between 1986 and 1991 Walter Maioli investigated the soundscape of different geographical, climatic and botanical environments, in which the mystery of the ancient human-nature relationship resides. What emerges is an expanded and unprecedented Paleorganology, with a range of acoustic and natural instruments from all over the World. Rubbing of fossils, animal artefacts…
Noor
*300 copies limited edition* Yamila presents her second album on Umor Rex, Noor. Following Visions, Yamila returns with a work that merges nature-experience listening with expansive musicality. Noor was born from her time in an ecologist community, where she sought refuge in stillness, learned from animals, and tried to forget the human. In this communion with nature, she discovered a new compositional approach: reducing acoustic noise to allow unheard voices to emerge, transforming music into a…

Feel Free
The two major focal points in the creation of composer Duane Pitre's Feel Free, his new work for a unique sextet combination, were rhythm and melody. An open yet orderly system intended to produce potentially infinite variations of self-generating rhythm and melody was carefully created for this piece, allowing the sextet musicians to approach these factors in a freer manner. This 'musical system,' combined with the fixed elements of the composition, in turn, spawned a rich foundation of harmony…
Investigation No.1
Originally released in the early 1970s, Investigation No. 1 by Carl Sherlock Holmes Investigation stands as an obscure but compelling chapter in the story of experimental jazz-funk. Blending the spiritual depth of jazz with the rhythmic pulse of funk and a distinctly Afrocentric consciousness, the album reflects a transformative period when musicians used groove and improvisation as tools for both artistic discovery and social expression.
Musically, Investigation No. 1 sits at the crossroads o…
The Pink Violin (Book)
The Pink Violin by Jon Rose and Rainer Linz is a gloriously over‑the‑top fake biography of non‑existent violinist–composer Dr. Johannes Rosenberg, a “reformist parody” that lampoons art‑school scholarship, new‑music mythologies and violin culture with such detail and deadpan rigor it almost passes for the real thing.
