Re-Make Re-Model
“Re-Make Re-Model” is the result of a five-year dialogue between Norway and New Zealand sound artists Lasse Marhaug and Bruce Russell. What first started as a friendly challenge during the Covid19-lockdown to re-work selected works from each other’s catalogue – using different techniques and experimental approaches, challenging each other to go to extremes – extended to what is now a double-CD and a 100-page book package of writings and photos. Each CDs has eight tracks, a total of 100 minutes o…
EP's 1988-1991
On "EP’s 1988–1991 and rare tracks", My Bloody Valentine crystallise the leap from scuzzy indie to full‑blown shoegaze alchemy: the Creation‑era EPs and stray cuts where overdriven pop songs dissolve into colour‑smeared noise, vapor‑thin vocals and the weightless lurch that would become Loveless.
Grain of Light
*150 copies limited edition* Robin Storey’s journey through sound is inseparable from the evolution of post-industrial and experimental ambient music itself. As a founding member of the seminal collective Zoviet France, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, Storey helped shape a new sonic vocabulary that blended ritual abstraction, primitive sampling, and immersive atmospheres. When Storey launched his solo project Rapoon in 1992, he distilled that experimental spirit into a more introspective …
In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music
On In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music, Dagmar Zuniga threads five years of Tascam‑4‑track recordings into a porous, tape‑hazed songbook: fragile transmissions where harmony, hiss and fingertip detail make lo‑fi feel widescreen.
D'une nostalgie inconnue
On D'une nostalgie inconnue, Delphine Dora turns a three‑week Portuguese sojourn into an intimate cartography of feeling: piano, harmonium and field recordings tracing a dream‑folk geography where Atlantic waves, stray voices and solitary improvisations blur into one interior tide.

nyck.
*200 copies limited edition* Following the dense, multitracked complexity of the debut double album "aldrig tillbaka. alltid.", Porös returns with a striking follow-up, nyck.. Translating from Swedish as "whim" or "caprice," the title perfectly encapsulates the album's methodology: a series of raw, unedited, one-take improvisations.
While the debut relied purely on layered, intricately composed baritone guitar, nyck. shifts the approach to something much more immediate and impulsive. The solo ba…
Music in Continuous Motion
Bill Orcutt is back with what might be the most beautiful record in his 21st-century guitar quartet series. Music in Continuous Motion (Palilalia, LP/CD) pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's - as Tom Carter writes - "yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance." Four guitars, twelve tracks, most hovering around two-and-a-half minutes each. No waste. No fat. Pure music.
Where Music for Four Guitars ope…
Gift Songs
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma returns with Gift Songs, a deep distillation of touchstones and influences drawn from the natural world and his spiritual practice. Enlisting a brilliant cast of collaborators, and blending a rich sonic palette of guitar, modular synthesizer, and acoustic instrumentation and arrangements, Cantu-Ledesma illuminates a profound sense of humanity and transcendent possibilities across a suite of five sublimely minimal compositions. Drawing its title from Cantu-Ledesma’s belief tha…
unworld.afterpop
Endlessly uplifting, gorgeous sunshine art-pop from Swedish librarian cum insanely talented multi-instrumentalist Sternpost. Who said the underground had to be glum??Sternpost’s 2023 hit Ulrika felt like something of an awakening, an open door to a vivid and unbelievably lush sound world that was totally at odds with its humble home-recorded nature. Back on Portland outpost Concentric Circles, unworld.afterpop takes our hand again and guides us into a dreamworld of charming avant-pop, drawing in…
Embrace 4: Orakelstücke / Aquin
On Embrace 4: Orakelstücke/Aquin, Polwechsel open their rigorously quiet universe to two singular composers, Peter Ablinger and Klaus Lang, yielding a diptych where struck objects, voices and long, glowing tones summon an almost liturgical sense of mystery from everyday sound.
Embrace 3: Magnetron / Quarz / Obsidian
On Embrace 3: Magnetron/Quarz/Obsidian, Polwechsel with Andrea Neumann turn acousmatic tape, simulated multitracks and graphic notation into an intricate laboratory of cause and effect, where elevator doors, room ghosts and painstakingly negotiated scores yield two of their most conceptually precise and sonically uncanny works.
Embrace 2: Chains and Grain
On Embrace 2: Chains and Grain, Polwechsel distil their chamber‑improv logic into a score grown from their own playing: a tense, breathing matrix of repeated figures, frayed textures and in‑the‑moment reactions that is rebuilt afresh every time it’s performed.
Embrace 1: Jupiter Storm / Partial Intersect
On Embrace 1: Jupiter Storm/Partial Intersect, Polwechsel with Magda Mayas and John Butcher fold fixed media, stopwatch scores and free low‑string improvisation into a dense, shifting topology of resonance and friction, pushing their chamber‑reductionist language into newly electronic and spatialised terrain.
Last
On Last, Leda distils Sofie Herner’s loop‑based guitar minimalism into six slow‑burning pieces: proto‑industrial basement buzz, worn tape atmosphere and stubbornly simple figures that erode into something hypnotic, eerie and oddly tender over 33 minutes.
Live in Melbourne
2015 Live Recording from "Supersense" Festival Melbourne featuring a 'supergroup' formed around Manuel Göttsching, Ariel Pink, Oren Ambarchi, Shags Chamberlain playing material from the classic Ashe Ra Tempel releases "Schwingungen" and "Seven Up".

EmphasYs
*100 copies limited edition* For more than three decades, Germany’s drone ambient pioneers Troum have explored the liminal zones between sound and sensation, shaping immersive sonic environments that dissolve boundaries between ritual, memory, and matter. Emerging from the industrial-ambient underground of the 1990s, Troum have remained devoted to a singular artistic intent: to create transformative listening experiences, dense with atmosphere and charged with inner movement, where sound becomes…
Pequeño clima doméstico
*100 copies limited edition* The Buenos Aires–based producer’s second album on Umor Rex can be read on at least two levels. The most direct traces its origin to the influence of environmental music, as well as to some pioneers of electronic music. The album was recorded in a single session, making extensive use of loops that were later edited and condensed into the six pieces that make up Pequeño clima doméstico. This working method responds to a playful approach that runs through Entidad Animad…
The Moth
"A friend of mine told me he had visited the place that Cancer House live and record. He said they jammed together all afternoon. In the moment, in the zone so to speak, he became more and more convinced that what they were making together was the best music he had ever been involved with. As the afternoon drifted by, second by revelatory second, he began making grandiose plans to release the recording. By the time it was dark outside the windows he imagined it as a future lost classic, a key li…
