Iron and Ice

The sound of string and wind instruments, metals and percussion instruments coming mainly from South-East Asian countries, combined with refined el…
As Leaves Fall
*200 copies limited edition* Gathering its most vivid elements, and drawing inspiration from the most emotionally touching mixtures of electronic synthesizers, driving rhythms - always 'clever' and sober - and melodic para-ambient offshoots, Like the Snow creates an album with almost 'epic' connotations, for its ability to involve and for the intensity of the emotions it is able to convey. At times sweetly melancholic and introspective, at times 'charged' with irresistible dynamic energy, but al…
OT / TO

Vagrancies
Austin's Andrew Anderson has released a number of solo cassettes (as well as an album with Thor Harris - see their duo, THAA's excellent 2020 album, Against Permanence).

Allure
"If Emily Dickinson had ever been allowed to make a record, this is probably what it would have sounded like.....the point of contact between worlds" (Wire Magazine)
InTolerance
«Tolerance can be used to describe how things fit together. Another term is allowance. Situations do not always run smoothly alongside others. People are not always able to accept new situations presented to them. With this work, I have stated “Many borders crossed, communities welcomed by, moments shared, ideas exchanged. Everyone on the planet should have this basic human right.” I truly believe this and have grown in every way through my own experiences, here combined in a way to reflect both…

Cloud Holding
Cloud Holding is NYC-based Bryce Hackford’s fifth full-length work, and his first with Futura Resistenza. Seven figures emerge out of recorded improvisations with a group of musicians: Ka Baird, Shelley Burgon, Alice Cohen, Michael Hurder, Dominika Mazurová, Camilla Padgitt-Coles. The instrumental utterances (including the original instrument—the voice) of these varied talents are gently treated and coaxed by the composer, nudged into little sculptures of sound which express an always drifting …

The Singing Club appear in Night Time Tran…

Witness Marks - The Works Of John B. McLemore
New York painter and musician Tor Lundvall initially envisioned his 14th album, Beautiful Illusions, as an entirely instrumental affair, “inspired by memories of sitting in a church or cathedral watching the shifting sunlight through stained glass.” Although he ultimately chose to wreath the majority of the tracks with hushed, poetic vocals, his original muse still resonates. These are certainly songs of shadowplay and vaulted skies, the quiet grandeur of dusk deepening on the horizon. Lundvall …
