Days
What if beating a drum would raise a thunderstorm, as if a sound could alter the very fabric of reality? In their latest album Days, the experimental electro-acoustic duo Kashaiof expand their sonic explorations, integrating extended techniques of modular synthesis, ultrasonic feedback, field recordings, and acoustic instrumentation.
In contrast to their previous releases Home (Chondritic Sound, LA, 2020) and MA (Under My Feet, London, 2022), where the voice was submerged in electrical responses…
Ubagabi (Chicken & Fire)
Ubagabi is a baroque solo violin album recorded in 2019 reinterpreting the myth of Ubagabi, a chicken turning into a fire ball. This album is now finally released on a silk-screened CD, fully equipped with a flammable booklet, an insert, and all fits in a hand stamped rotisserie bag. Mastering by Guillaume Lespinasse.
Ulrika
Stunning LP of Canterbury inspired art song that opens another portal in the Swedish underground
Jyo = 浄
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Vanity Records, started in 1978 by the late Yuzuru Agi's Rock Magazine, released 11 LPs in the four years to 1982, and this DADA work was chosen as the first release. This is the first album by the unit of Mutsuhiko Izumi and Kenji Konishi, and contains tranquil improvisations that create a sound image of the Japanese ‘Yin’ world inspired by the ‘Hungry Demon Paper Scroll…
When It Rains It Pours
If there's one musician in the last decade that you may hear in wildly diverse musical contexts it is Belgian electric bassist and sound sculptor Farida Amadou. Not only can you enjoy the unerringly skillful command she has over her instrument but also the transformative power to reinterpret and expand her material in spontaneous and unconventional ways. Amadou is self-taught and radically aware of her idiosyncratic relationship with the bass guitar. She neither emulates the virtuosos of the ele…
Wanting Less
Latvian expat mu tate joins the Warm Winters Ltd. roster with his vaporous, dubbed out excursions. Utilising his trademark crackling field recordings, soporific atmospheres, swooping sub-bass and cascading synths, 'wanting less' is as weightless and gorgeous as his previous outings on Experiences Ltd. and Utter. More so than ever before though, he enters more jazz-tinged, melodic territory, without forgoing the traces of (post)club music appearing throughout his discography. This is probably mu …
Cassini
Wordless vocals drifting on a royal tapestry balancing between noise and silence, unveiling its pale face in the star-woman’s eyes in night’s harem. Sachiko was once a member of Overhang Pary and Kousokuya.
Plays The Writings Of Commander X
*2024 stock* Amazing tape by Aaron DIlloway's side project Spine Scavanger.
Shadow Weaver
Sometimes the Shadow Waver even doubts his own existence. The Legendary Pink Dots' twelfth album, Shadow Weaver, is part one of a two-part series which explores the psychic inner world of the album's central character - any resemblance to Camus' "Nausea" is purely unintentional. Edward Ka-Spel's singular capacity to trace the mystical journey of the Shadow Weaver is, as always, matched perfectly by the DOTS' mastery of psychedelic sound designs. For over a decade the Dots have continued to quiet…
Farfalle Su Foglie D'Ebano
The unprecedented overlapping of sound layers that accommodate the happy melodies of Ermano Librasi's clarinet, between atmospheric intuitions and soft instrumental inlays, make this album a reflective and intense listen, colloquial and restless at the same time.

Lacuna and parlor
‘Lacuna and Parlor’ is anchored in the left-field chamber music and incidental recordings that have long accented more eaze’s roving sound. Composed with one ear pressed to the rich textures of instrumental recording environments, this is a resonant and tactile collection tinged in rephrased space and skewed time. Taking the rudiments of tonal music theory as her conceptual base, more eaze formed the compositions around her own manipulations of these core principles. Simple chord progressions st…
ex-DJ
*100 copies limited edition* In December 2023, dj sniff (US/JP), Mariam Rezaei (UK), SlowPitchSound (CA), and DJ Rex Chen (TW) met for the first time in Taipei to take part in "ex-DJ," a music program curated by dj sniff for the Taipei Biennial. The aim of this project was to highlight a musical practice that equally drew influences from experimental music, free improvisation, and hip hop. This collaborative initiative unfolded over a 10-day period within the Taipei Fine Arts Museum's specially …
Comes From Far Away From Here
*100 copies limited edition* Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it’s a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they’ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv,…
Colonial Motels
*100 copies limited edition* Erica Dawn Lyle has been described by Pitchfork as a “punk hero,” which, though true, feels like an insufficiently specific term to describe her multifaceted presence and work. Colonial Motels is in fact rawly personal, a ladder out of an abyss of mourning as well as a determination to persevere and connect. Playing less but achieving more, this album captures the engaging intensity and directness that defines Lyle’s art, performance, and activism. Part I builds on p…
Distinct and Concealed
*100 copies limited edition* This meet-up between two thoughtful practitioners of minimal and process-oriented music succeeds not because it is resourceful but because its gestures are clearheaded. Disciplined and exploratory, it is like observing someone fixing a watch: methodical and calm, periodically getting up and selecting a tool, working for stretches of full concentration, and hearing the footsteps and rustle of clothing. The titles of the pieces – “Distinct” and “Concealed” – suggest te…
Jenseits Der Wand
*300 copies limited edition* "Jenseits der Wand" is the latest CD-release by Berlin-based multi-disciplinary artists Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk, which results from two walk-in sound installations, which were realized in 2021 and 2022.
While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…
Autumn Glory
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* “Is anybody really free, prisoners of the strange society, why is it we're forced to be products of the new reality? Drifting through time and space and all the while feeling out of place”, a late DIY spirit once asked into the blue. Years later, a soulmate uncalled answered, “Let the shadow rise high and turn me to stone, because I hold true to a god of my own. Don't need a rainbow to show me the way, I got my own religion, I'm a child of clay”.
Now, al…
Les Cités Englouties
*2024 stock* Laure Boer is Kashual again. And not so Plastik. Zoning dark-ish into her inner realms of journey music. Poetic, psychic, reflective, ejective. She sings. Weeps. Speaks. Intimate looping narratives, celebrating personal glories and all those worries. Stylistically alternating from electroacoustic dimensions to drone guitar amp personas, from folk melodiousness to witchy avant-notes. Ten drifters for the Lomaxed creatures, earthbound, and always up there in the luminaries. Music that…
