On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.

Dionysian fuck ‘n’ roll soaked in diabolical occult havoc. Drugged and toxic. Funky-proto-metal with a solid groove. Fucked-up, subhuman fuzz guitars.Depraved, screaming vocals. Gut-rumbling bass and caveman groove drums.  This is hard rock from hell.

*200 copies limited edition* Erik Klinga’s second entry in his Thanatosis trilogy is darker, more dystopian in its bloom. Where his debut glowed with incandescent warmth, Hundred Tongues absorbs the unease of the present and yet throws a flash of light, albeit blinding. Composed at Malmö Art Museum on the 16th-century Genarpsorgan, threaded with his Buchla synthesizer, field recordings from Skåne and Öland, and a deliberate, focused touch, it reads as one long form: episodes that coil, return, a…

*Please note, this is a vinyl only release. There is no digital download at all. Just the vinyl* Few bands carry the weight of history with such light-footed grace as Träd, Gräs och Stenar. More than just a group, they are a living conduit for the currents of collective expression, resistance, and transcendence that have defined Sweden’s underground music landscape since the late 1960s. Their sound—raw, organic, and untamed—has pulsed through decades, defying the strictures of genre and time, th…

There was no premeditated methodology in place when Swedish electronics manipulator Joachim Nordwall and American guitar mangler Aaron Turner decided to collaborate on an album together. Initial experiments involved Turner submitting improvised guitar compositions to Nordwall for dissection and reassembly. While these exercises yielded interesting returns, the project truly began to bloom when Nordwall pitched several beat-oriented tracks for Turner's perusal. Beginning from a place of structure…

A comprehensive survey of experimental sound practices across generations, geographies, and aesthetic approaches. This four-release bundle from Dead Mind Records presents vital documents of uncompromising artistic vision: from contemporary electronic collaboration to archival excavations of ambient and industrial histories. At the center stands Carlos Giffoni & Joachim Nordwall's New Music - a visceral convergence of two sound artists operating at the outer edges of techno, noise, and electro-ac…

**2025 Stock** Ritualer, Blot Och Botgöring stands as the uncompromising debut of Trepaneringsritualen—Thomas Martin Ekelund’s celebrated project that laces religious dread, magick, and esoteric sorrow into the very fabric of death industrial. Originally issued in 2008 with only 75 cassettes and later given a justified re-release on vinyl, the album draws listeners into its haunting landscapes from the first cavernous, echo-soaked textures of “Bloodletting Ritual.” Lo-fi, murky, and unapologetic…

Limited edition of 50 copies on purple vinyl. A meeting of two uncompromising sound artists, Carlos Giffoni and Joachim Nordwall, New Music fuses pulsating electronic rhythms, immersive drones, and abstract textures into a vivid, physical listening experience. Emerging from the outer edges of techno, noise, and electro-acoustic composition, both artists channel their distinct sonic vocabularies into a shared space of tension and transformation. Giffoni's deep synth drones collide with Nordwall's…

Recorded in a single day in 2022 at McDowall's Brooklyn studio, then mixed and remixed across three years and three cities. There is no organ anywhere on it: the sound is Karplus-Strong synthesis, a filtered delay line modelling a plucked string, tuned in just intonation and pushed through distortion.

*300 copies limited edition.*  Blod, the enigmatic Swedish folk collective, announces the release of Den Oändliga Historian (The Endless Story), a new album that represents both the band's darkest exploration yet and paradoxically their most uplifting work. Recorded during spring 2025 and released on Förlag För Fri Musik (catalog number 033), the album showcases an expanded lineup featuring core members Gustaf Dicksson, Elin Engström, Julia Bjernelind, Magnus Jäverling, and Erik Ridelius, alongs…

“On ‘Dissolving Strawberry’ (2020)” is a collection of interpretive sound compositions thematically centered around the titular painting by Swedish artist Christine Ödlund.
 “Dissolving Strawberry” (2020) portrays an ongoing decomposition process through several parallel perspectives, or planes – molecular and cosmic, as well as symbolic – by means of color pigments produced from the strawberry plant itself. Transfer of knowledge and exchange of meaning between plant and animal world is a consta…

Silence Records announces highly anticipated reissue of Träd, Gräs Och Stenar's Legendary Self-Titled debut album - Swedish Psychedelic Pioneers' Groundbreaking 1970 Masterpiece Returns with Exclusive Poster

2007 release ** "Subtitled "A collection of rare tracks and demos," this latest reissue remains just as essential as the others. "Staring back at you" offers true rarities. Most of the tracks present are from almost impossible-to-find compilations, but four tracks are also present in the form of demos, whose distinction from the original versions, when they exist, gives them a completely new content. A different reading that brings additional value to the Megaptera collection, which has seen a s…

3d and final repress. In the intimate confines of a Kortedala apartment just outside Gothenburg, Gustav Horneij has quietly assembled one of 2024's most compelling statements in spiritual jazz composition. Organic Pulse Ensemble's fifth album, Zither Suite, represents the culmination of a decade-long creative process that transforms modal meditation and ancient Swedish melodies into transcendent chamber folk with deep connections to the spiritual jazz tradition pioneered by Pharoah Sanders and h…
