Composer and synth fantasist Ori Barel attempts to bash '90s electronica against dadist Krautrock and avant classical music on the ambitious 'Alkaline River'. Think Plaid jamming with Art Bears and Faust and you'll have a good line into this one. There's an admirable level of mayhem to 'Alkaline River' that we can't help but admire. Barel clearly has a lot of love for his influences, and his willingness to take music that's at polar ends of the genre spectrum and find its harmonies is already wo…

Gatos Negros, aka Madrid DJs/ producers Christian C. & Iván Smoka, second album 'Hi Score' is a texture and abstraction gambling project now on sale via Vasco Ispirian's Made in Green Records label. 'Hi Score' sees the duo sailing ethereal ambient soundscapes, shady alt rock waves, experimental grooves almost horizontally danceable, acid electro-pop & avant-garde electronica- all in an utterly smart, consistent, and effective vocal fashion.  The album's fully hybrid and lethargic sonic land star…

*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* A deposition of cold electronics and harsh frequencies to testify to the perpetual stagnation of reality. Nothing ever changes except the means through which this successful illusion is maintained. "Stasis" is an exploration, in seven chapters, of the diagrams of the power mechanisms caging us in an invisible prison: civilization. From the anointing ritual of ecstatic pain engrafting the mental germ, to its own epiphany, and to the final revelation: the w…

*200 copies limited edition* The new album of Nihil Impvlse, Anabasis, is the drone industrial soundtrack of the constant strife for the pursuit of progress. An ascent chased through conflict and war, mankind's path is oblivious of the past and unaware of the future. Yet, we march on. Amidst haunting clouds of ignorance, across shifting wastelands of history's debris. Our hands are dirty, our legacy is tainted. Yet, we fight on. Unheroic guerrillas in a constantly evolving struggle against space…

Industrial / Power Electronics veteran SATØRI returns with a new dark and disturbing journey into the very depths of human horror.

A carefully curated selection of the crucial compilation tracks from Horror Electronics / Post-Industrial project BURIAL HEX, gathering and remastering them together, striving to create a resonance between disparate sources, forming an extraordinary new experience.

One of the very finest groups to emerge from the American cassette scene of the mid aughts, Emeralds released Solar Bridge in 2008 as their first run-in with a proper, formal album release.

Cleveland neo-kosmische outfit Emeralds broke free of the underground in 2010 with the hallucinatory Editions Mego-released 'Does it Look Like I'm Here?', now been remastered and bumped up with seven additional tracks, including two Daphne remixes.

*2023 stock* "Much of the time creative inspiration hits you in a sudden, explosive burst, and other times it seeps into your senses slowly, through practice, repetition, trial and error, or wandering. But then there are those weird fractures that open up a rift in something, somewhere, that was already in motion. An interruption. A fissure pushing hot air right up into an area you were standing in, and the sound and pressure and heat are too much to ignore and you have to do something about it …

*2023 stock* "This project would not be possible with out the support of Unsilent Desert Press, my family and all the ancestors and cousins who have been lost and forgotten. I hope sharing these stories with the world will help honor their spirit and stand testament to the effects of colonialism and assimilation on indigenous people. This album explores themes of echoes as a physical overlap of time, space, and memory. The noise of our environment reflects the histories of erasures of the indige…

German musician Mary Yalex debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place depicting a storied transition from our recognizable surroundings, into a vision of the future. With releases and music styles across a variety of labels over the years, it has been Yalex’s more experimental ambient work that has stood out amongst her catalog, and in Fantasy Zone, we find Mary fine-tuning this sound to reflect the work of a true architect of storytelling, mood and atmosphere. Drawing influences from her day-to-day s…

Claudio PRC's upcoming ambient album is a sonic journey through ethereal landscapes and intimate atmospheres. Drawing inspiration from the waves and their movement, "Unda" (in Sardinian native tongue "wave") evokes a sense of calmness and introspection. Throughout the whole piece, Claudio PRC creates a blend of meticulously crafted organic and synthetic elements that seamlessly integrates together, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his commitment to exploring all facets of electronic m…

AI-34 arrives from Toki Fuko. Known previously for his contributions of deep and hypnotic techno, he presents on Astral Industries further development of his sound in this long-form work. A two-part sojourn into vibrant organic soundscapes and liminal sonic archaeologies, ‘Spirit Medicine’ is an ethereal yet human-centric venture into the realms of consciousness. Soft chimes mark the opening, making way for expansive pads and the emergence of a bristling jungle panorama. Solitary flute melodies …

Tip! *100 copies limited edition* dispari introduces you to Hanoi-based, Vietnamese artist Trần Uy Đức. Carried by large curiosity, urgency and delight, their sonic expression can be grasped as a self-exploration which is touchingly intimate, fragile, rebellious and cociliating. In their own words: „It's my desire to escape into this person I don't know.Die, orphaned kite flutes.Watch me escape the orphaned kite flutes.If you beat it up many times.Don’t, don't, he predict thunder.Who asked me to…

Presenting the latest collaboration of Nigel Ayers (Nocturnal Emissions), PBK, and Allan Zane (WYRM, Nihilist Assault Group), recorded in 2023. The title "This home stands on ancient bones" reminds us that our present world is built upon a history of all that has gone before. Compassion, contrition, repentance—all the layers of emotions that rise from the surface of the earth—mingle and drift through the emptiness, existing all around us. This powerful work captures and embodies these emotions, …

*2023 stock* Utterly engrossing, sometimes terrifying second album from Reines d'Angleterre - a collaboration between the mighty Ghedalia Tazartes and "electronic botanists" èlg and Jo aka Opéra Mort. LP version, limited to 500 copies. Bo 'Weavil is totally psyched to have the opportunity to release the second album by Reines d'Angleterre -- this time, a thoroughly studio affair. Reines d'Angleterre is a fascinating collaboration between avant-outsider musician Ghédalia Tazartès and two electron…

*360 copies limited edition* "After a handful of whacked-out cassettes & CDRs, for labels as discerning as Chocolate Monk and Beartown, this Nottingham trio has final made their debut LP, and it is a beautiful, swirling cone of sounds. Unlike some of their more savage kith, Food People‘s basic template is based less on explosive dynamics than it is on twisted invention. Their music is rarely overtly aggressive or ornery. Its power is drawn from quietly disorienting musical details that are assem…

Tip! Synth Soundtrack is a re-work of Sick Soundtrack, the first album by Gaznevada, the legendary new wave no wave rock dance punk band of the 70s-80s. The Sick Soundtrack multitrack no longer exists, it was lost many years ago: no multitrack no remixes. And, in fact, Synth Soundtrack is NOT a remix. No possibility of removing or correcting sounds, synthesizers, rhythms, it was only possible to add. Basically today’s Gaznevada played together with original Gaznevada. A time machine jam …

The latest by Canadian composer Tim Hecker serves as a beacon of unease against the deluge of false positive corporate ambient currently in vogue. Whether taken as warning or promise, No Highs delivers – this is music of austerity and ambiguity, purgatorial and seasick. A jagged anti-relaxant for our medicated age, rough-hewn and undefined. Morse code pulse programming flickers like distress signals while a gathering storm of strings, noise, and low-end looms in the distance. Processed electroni…

*2023 stock* Ali O’May and Frazer Brown met in early 2018 while performing with their respective bands at an Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) gig in Edinburgh. With obvious common interests, further discussions lead a few months later to Ali passing Frazer a USB drive filled with stems recorded directly from Ali’s vast modular system. Across August and September 2019, Frazer used about a dozen of those stems as the foundation for a set of tracks, building them into fully realised pieces across a…

*2023 strock* As a founding member of Dublin experimental folk group Lankum, Ian Lynch explores submerged leylines of music and song. Forging a musical path that is all at once dark, mysterious and foreboding, but ultimately transcendental. His new solo project One Leg One Eye sees him taking a fresh approach to musical arrangement culminating in a sound that is more rooted in the raw aesthetics of second wave black metal than contemporary folk. The project was born across 2021, a period in whic…

200 copies limited edition "This latest collection from Folklore Tapes borrows its title from a Japanese proverb about knowing one's limitations ("the frog in the well knows nothing of the sea"), which was itself borrowed from a Chinese fable. In the context of an album devoted to UFO lore, of course, humans are the frogs, the infinite universe is the ocean, and the usual eclectic Folklore Tapes cast of characters gleefully devote themselves to celebrating the colorful hoaxes and stories of thei…

*200 copies limited edition* “I decided to treat my process like gathering tiny beach rocks -- nothing stands on its own initially but after a few months you find yourself with a collection,” says Chicago cellist, composer, and improviser Lia Kohl. She’s talking about beginning work on her album Too Small To Be A Plain, which began as experiments in creating small bits of music every day. For years, Kohl has worked in collaboration with artists, ensembles, and bands, either in projects of her ow…

At the top of a carpeted staircase in a Georgian country home a blue wooden rocking horse stands completely still in front of a closed window with a view out onto the green hills and trees and fields beyond. A child rides a stationary wooden horse and travels to faraway places without ever leaving the security of his room. The movement of a rocking horse is similar to that of a cradle, or a swing, or a lullaby. Its about being quiet, its about balance, its about being at home and thinking of els…

*2023 stock* Cole Pulice is a composer, saxophonist and electroacoustic musician from Oakland-via-Minneapolis. Following their debut album "Gloam" and two duo collaborations with Lynn Avery and Nat Harvie, Cole Pulice returns with their sophomore album "Scry". The sound is deeply contemporary, incorporating saxophone/wind synth with live signal processing and modern electronics/software. It drifts between electroacoustic experimentalism and more traditional forms of song-like beauty, casting a w…

“Aliens Are Real” is the debut album from experimental ambient artist UFOm. It was submitted as a demo by the artist, who wishes to remain anonymous due to their involvement with a low-profile religious organization. Sonically the album drifts between heady atmospheric meditations, spaced-out ambient processionals and ecstatic otherworldly vignettes. The artist utilizes a plethora of synthesizers alongside digital bells, harps, rhodes, lap steel, marimbas, flutes and their own captured field rec…

*2023 stock* Iceblink is a homespun, intimate project conjured by Lynn Avery in Minneapolis. As a trans woman, everything she creates is about her experience and Lynn describes "Carpet Cocoon" as her comfort album, music to retreat to in the winter. Informed by her passion for mixtapes, oddities and crate digging blogs, the album is eclectic yet cohesively spun around the aesthetic of a bedroom new age album. Sonically, it has a fuzzy and rounded vibe incorporating nylon string guitars through v…

*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Omni Gardens is the experimental ambient/new age project by Moon Glyph head Steve Rosborough. Recorded at home in Portland during the early days of covid, "Moss King" is relaxed home listening for difficult times. The first Omni Gardens release, “West Coast Escapism”, was expansive with a broad selection of soothing synth tones and morphing samples. In contrast, "Moss King" is a smaller, more intimate affair, full of fuzzy new age moog drifters and self-c…

Sam Scranton is a composer and percussionist based in Chicago. His latest album, "Body Pillow," marks an aesthetic investment in the immediacy of improvisation. Simple and spontaneous forms make way for complex sound worlds to gather and accumulate into immersive and dense environments. To make the record, Sam employed a multi-faceted approach, combining contact mic'd balsa wood resonators, pure data patches, general midi presets, a variety of synthesizers, and live percussion. Sam's musicality …

*2023 stock* Moon Glyph is pleased to present a compilation of new, unreleased tunes from established veterans of the label and newcomers alike. Staying true to Moon Glyph’s transportive aesthetic, “Amethyst” spans across abstract genres from ambient, psychedelia, jazz, electronic, fourth world percussion and more. Across its 17 tracks, you’ll hear Cole Pulice’s hypnotic overlapping saxophones, Vic Bang’s intricate arrangements of micro samples, IE’s patient desert landscapes and Starbirthed’s s…

*2023 stock* Atoris is the live electronic trio of H.Takahashi, Kohei Oyamada and Yudai Osawa from Tokyo. The group began as the duo of Takahashi (owner of Kankyō Records) and graphic designer Osawa who knew each other from their experimental ambient quartet Unkown Me. Soon after, their mutual friend Oyamada was added to round out the trio and record their self-titled debut, released in 2020 on JJ Funhouse in Belgium. For their sophomore followup, “Sea & Forest”, the group focused their bubbling…

*2023 stock* Erasers is the duo of Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas out of Noongar boodja (Perth, Western Australia). Their sound is buzzy and earthy; awash in humming synthesizers, droning organs, zoned-out vocals and hypnotic melodies. Their latest, “Distance” was written and recorded at home over a few weeks in mid 2021 and like its title suggests, the tones evoke vast open topography; rolling deserts and misty, endless coastline. Differentiating from past releases, the duo’s sound expands o…

*2023 stock* Matt Evans is a percussionist, composer, and experimentalist in Brooklyn, NY. Zoning his latest record, “Soft Science” is like reading through a biology textbook as if it were a collection of poetry and watching the letters slowly re-arrange until it reads more like science fiction. The album is a “mostly-not-chill” collection of brightly-hued maximalist miniatures, combining squiggly free drumming and alien synthesizers. The album sews together equal parts millennial iconography (m…

Loris S. Sarid returns with his latest album “A Tiny Reminder” following his oceanic “Seabed-Sunbath” LP. The compositions began as numerous fragments of guitar, vocal snippets, clarinet and field recordings which were rearranged, reworked and layered with his crystalline and distinctive sound design. Like scribbles on top of a painting, Loris blended acoustic sounds with digital-sounding samples of the same instrument to create a wholly new palette. The album embraces its eccentricities and hig…

Tip! *Limited edition of 200 copies.* As per Marta Zapparoli own words: " After a long research focused on the Natural Radio phenomena (VLF) coming from the Northern Lights, I realized a live performance that inevitably inspired me to compose a piece for this release. The piece is composed with recordings I made in Norway mixed with studio recordings, using a self made crystal radio, in combination with a specific light, detectors, motors, and antennas, to simulate a technological audio version …

Cate Brooks is back with her seventh release for Clay Pipe Music. Never one to stand still, ‘Easel Studies’ finds her pushing the boundaries of sound synthesis and experimentation on the Buchla Music Easel while still sounding beautifully beguiling and hypnotically melodic.

e is sky is a collective born out of these first collaborations between Melbourne based experimental composer Corin, electronic-pop musician Sui Zhen and music producer Casey Hartnett. They create score and sound design to tell stories and convey moods, connecting with art, film, multimedia, cultural artefacts, places, spaces and people. Where previously this music could only be heard via a location-aware app we now invite listeners to engage with the pieces outside of the gallery setting.

Tip! Loris S. Sarid is a Rome born musician and sound designer living in Glasgow (Scotland). Music for Tomato Plants was born while taking care of a little tomato plant, grown on the windowsill of his flat during the winter 2020. The album is a homage to the unapparent courage of simplicity, and the beauty and lightness of the most ordinary things. “In the same spirit of Mort Garson, Green-House and others who synthesize the natural and musical worlds, this ambient serenade for tomato plants is …

Tom Mudd follows up Brass Cultures with another collection of genre pushing electronic music. Sitting between the hermetic focus of Bill Orcutt’s solo guitar recordings and Autechre at their most abstract, this is an album of forward thinking and richly evocative music. Mudd moves between impossible technical sketches in the vein of Derek Bailey to more considered harmonic works, that although created with algorithms and code presents a sound world full of humanity and imperfections. On Guitar C…
