Abba (2CD)
Tip! ** A massive new double album from Blod and the first CD-only release on Discreet Music. In the artists' own words: "ABBA was recorded during the summer of 2021 in my garage in Mölndal outside of Gothenburg. I believe the album has some kind of loner ambient lo-fi vibe all over it. I have tried to create a warm feeling permeated by longing and loneliness. It's far from a happy album and it contains no hit songs, but I think there is a feeling of hope present throughout both discs." Edition …
Live På Autodidaktik
* 300 copies * Everyone who reads this most likely have the same reason to do this & know what it’s all about. As said in previous sales pitches - Gothenburg is the centre of the universe. It’s a bold statement, but it’s possible to make it fairly un-challenged because everyone more or less knows that it’s true. There are a few essentials pieces who give these words credibility - but no one ave proven to be more bearing, more of an essential cornerstone than Neutral. Dan Johansson & Sofie Herne…
Grå Våg Gamlestaden
* 150 copies * Gothenburgers’ Dan Johansson (Sewer Election) and Sofie Herner’s Neutral is the product of Sofie’s instruments and voice, and Dan’s manipulation and reel-to-reel technique. After previously making music together, in 2013 they had the idea to start compiling the recordings to make an LP. Originally released as a cassette edition of 25 on Ingen Våg.
Grå Våg Gamlestaden was released in the fall of 2014, with strong themes of a certain kind of bleakness, but with a wry smile, closely …
Sky Wells
Edition of 200 copies. After seven years New Zealand’s Claypipe return with a new full-length album, Sky Wells. Claypipe was formed in the early 2000s when, after years of record trading, North Islander Antony Milton and South Islander Clayton Noone came together. Their musical chemistry was immediate and a slew of excellent cassettes, CDs and lathe cuts followed. They carved out a niche with a sort of pastoral psychedelia that brought to mind the forest as much the sea, the acoustic guitar as m…

John Tilbury's latest duo piano and saxophone improvisations
Снег
* Edition of 150 * The fourth album in 20 years from the Schnee duo of guitarist Burkhard Stangl (efzeg, Polwechsel) and Christof Kurzmann performing on lloop, voice and "ruber bands", creating music for films that have not yet been created through intensely moody electroacoustic environments, Kurzmann's voice sometimes guiding the narrative of their visionary sound. " "I love plainness in colour, monotony, snow is rather a monotonous tune. Why should colour not give an impression of singing? W…

…et après (2Lp)
After an already productive year, Alga Marghen, in the guise of their sub-imprint, Planam, delivers, “…et après”, an astounding double LP of archival material documenting the collaboration between Luc Ferrari and Ensemble Laborintus. Issued in a limited edition of 250 copies on vinyl, and bristling with tense electroacoustic sonorities at the forefront of electronic and experimental chamber music, it's among the most challenging, exciting, and engaging albums we’ve heard all year.
Metrodora
* 2021 Stock. Limited Edition box set. Includes the vinyl LP, the CD format of the album, and 5 postcards. Remastered, limited and numbered edition * Mere words can’t describe the impact of an album where the only instrument is the voice of Demetrio Stratos (actually, there are few synthesizer inserts played by Paolo Tofani). Originally released in 1976: a unique work where Demetrio Stratos makes any kind of experiments and sounds with his voice, reaching and going over the limit of human capabi…
Kofu II
* 180g LP, presented in a debossed sleeve with obi strip and include a 16-page insert with words in Japanese and English from Meitei, printed on premium paper stock with design by Kitchen. Limited edition * Meitei’s 2020 album Kofū was the bold bookend to an expedition, where sounds were first navigated and then subverted in 2018’s Kwaidan and 2019’s Komachi. All three albums were Meitei’s attempt at immersive storytelling, reimagining moments of Japanese history he felt were being washed away –…

Two Men In A Boat (LP)
"The beauty of all this, as well as its sorrowful brutality, is even more powerful and stupefying since Ghédalia's sudden departure. Because retrospectively, not only is this recording the trace of a rare moment in a Parisian garden, it also summons a ghost, that of a loved one that is gone, and of his voice, which is fully alive here." Ghedalia Tazartes and Rhys Chatham had met once in 1977 at CBGC's and had not seen each other since then when they were asked by their mutual agent to play a pr…
First Issue
*2021 stock * Marking our 100th release on Light In The Attic and following the Record Store Day reissue of PiL’s debut single ‘Public Image’, we are set to reissue the pioneering group’s debut album First Issue, available for the first time ever in the US. In 1976 Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols set the agenda for punk’s year zero with ‘Anarchy In The UK’, a song that summed up the spirit, sound and attitude of the band in one shocking package. Two years later, the Sex Pistols were in tatte…
Om Shanti Shanti Om
**Never-before released document of Don Cherry blowing cool fire in Rome, 1976. First official release. Mastered from the original master tapes.** An amazing document of the life experiment that was the Organic Music Society. This super quality audio, recorded by RAI (the italian public broadcasting company) in 1976 for television, documents a quartet concert focused on vocals compositions and improvisations. Here, Don Cherry and his family-community’s musical belief emerges in its simplicity, w…
Saturday's Den (LP)
** Limited edition of 800 copies. Comes with an insert and a download code. **On their third LP for Ultra Eczema, psychedelic blues gloomers Ignatz & De Stervende Honden have driven off the bendy sideroads and onto a straight, if not exactly narrow, path. And there’s new sounds coming out of the stereo: The Les Rallisez Dénudés-type guitar fuzz of previous journeys has been phased out in favour of softer, repetitive VU stumbling and even some Fleetwood Mac-esque romance. But it remains an unmis…
Future Nature (Tape)
Mike Collino, either with his solo efforts as Dog Lady Island or via the sterling Alien Passengers label, has managed to exemplify the midwestern / Detroit underground milieu of home-tapers & jammers while also carving out a unique niche for himself. There is more than enough room at this table for analog gunk and grime, but a place has been set for refined obscurantism and a more European Fluxus-derived absurdism

Culvert – No-Input Mixing Board 10
Toshimaru Nakamura’s No Input Mixing Board instrument is without question one of the most personal and experimental explorations of its kind. Over 10 volumes, Nakamura has stretched the capacities of the mixing console in ways that both shock and delight. He maintains a tireless sense of curiosity, seeking to constantly expand the range of the instrument and subvert its pre- conceived role. On Culvert NIMB#10, Nakamura’s work takes on an incredibly dynamic and at times volcanic quality. Each pi…
