Cupo
A hypnotic demonstration of improvisation, and an ode to the free-jazz and DIY cultures the two artists rose from, Cupo ultimately becomes an object of intuition that marks both a turning point and coming together of two of London’s most imaginative figures.‘Cupo’ is the debut collaborative album by London based producer/percussionist Valentina Magaletti and enigmatic artist Laila Sakini, deploying an orchestra-sized ensemble of instruments thru dub, ambient, modern classical, and effortlessly e…
Temporary Requiem
Temporary Requiem is a mass for dance - the music score to “Known Mass. No. 3: St. Maurice.” A collaboration with Ann Glaviano, a dance maker and choreographer (and friend since our time together at a girl's Catholic school in New Orleans), it utilizes heavily dissected and altered passages of the traditional Latin requiem mass as the accompanying text across 6 movements. As the mission of “St. Maurice” is to build and break down a lost church over the span of the performance, the music serves t…

Triple Trouble (The Original Soundtrack Recording)
In 2016, an announcement video was released in the autumn of 2016, describing a film entitled Double Trouble, that would tell the story of Randy's son, Junior, discovering that his life has run parallel to the plot of the abandoned Vileness Fats project. Over the next few years The Residents worked on the film, with tops and starts due to their touring schedule and other unforeseen impediments such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
The completed film, now bearing the title Triple Trouble, premiered at t…
Live Anywhere
*2023 stock* "Live Anywhere captures the duo incarnation of this Chicago electronic group. The band members seem to be young, so it's somewhat unsurprising that they draw influences from current electronic music. There's an element of chaotic noise from the Wolf Eyes school, and an element of synth freakiness reminiscent of artists like Keith Fullerton Whitman or Ben Vida. The surprising part is when historical referents sneak in — their approach to sound also reveals obvious traces of Bruce …
Melting The Earth Onto The Body Without Organs
*2023 stock* "The new Sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. Tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. Familiar but new. Precise funk made of techno frequencies. Reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. "Melt" is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. "Earth" is the landscape: you can visualize it. "Organs" is…

The Surveillance Lounge
Longtime collaborators NWW and Aranos align their visions to a deeply psychedelic, minimalist focus on their self-released 2013 double album. Also considered relative neighbours on the rugged West Coast of Ireland, Nurse With Wound and multi-instrumentalist Aranos here reprise a creative relationship ongoing since 1997’s ‘Acts of Senseless Beauty’, with just shy of 2 hours of metaphysical drift; departing with the anaesthetising atmospheres and creepy piano of ‘Letter From Torpor (Draft)’, and …

The End Times
ICR is happy to be releasing the first new solo album by Andrew Chalk in five years, completed in 2022 at Impression Lointaine. Thirteen beautiful melodic tracks that weave in and out of focus in an almost hallucinatory manner, evoking many different moods and emotions."Keeping up with Andrew Chalk’s discography has always been an amusingly challenging endeavour, but the challenge has shifted from pouncing on limited edition physical releases to vigilantly ensuring that he does not quietly surfa…
Syrup House
Tip! Haunted Bedrooms established the Jilk sound with a clash of cascading chamber instruments meeting brittle electronics and experimental noise. Frequently quiet and emotional but also edged with spikes and sharp teeth. On Syrup House, however, the collective dig out a much smoother and sweeter sound. And while ‘expect the unexpected’ should still be your guiding principle, here you can dive deep into luscious droning textures and swelling orchestration which sits alongside the warmth of analo…
