Ys
Joanna Newsom's 2006 masterpiece returns on double LP: five sprawling songs where harp and voice meet Van Dyke Parks' orchestral grandeur, recorded by Steve Albini, mixed by Jim O'Rourke. Named for a drowned Breton city, Ys remains overwhelming
Four Louies Live
Bill Orcutt built The Four Louies by dropping Steve Reich's Four Organs onto "Louie Louie" - two of the most stubborn riffs in American music, high minimalism and dumb garage, forced into the same frame. This is what happened when he took it off the record and into a room. At Roulette last March the four organs became six, the rock trio swelled into a small army, and the plunderphonic stiffness of the studio version simply burned off. Six organists, twin drummers, William Winant on maracas, Chri…
The Chair and the Faucet
On The Chair and the Faucet, Etelin transforms a Zen‑retreat image into 33 minutes of quietly volatile modular synthesis. Alex Cobb’s Serge system traces dry, microtonal drones and wavering harmonics that drift without resolution, making stillness feel less like peace than a lucid encounter with electricity’s own unstable, living grain.
Several Years Later
People Skills - the long running project of Philadelphia's Jesse Dewlow - has spent close to two decades tuned to that lower, stranger frequency, and Several Years Later may be the fullest transmission he has yet let out of the room. Since the mid 2000s, Dewlow has worked at the seam where a song comes apart into weather. Repetitive guitar figures, idle tape phenomena, sound residue, voices sunk far beneath the surface - materials gathered under the sign of his Heresy Museum and set loose in sha…

Basilikum
Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…
Sinkronia
“Iker Munduate is an artist and musician who brings a delicate sense of composition and design... Inspired in part by new age music, Its rippling melodies and frictionless glide recall the futuristic utopias of Detroit Escalator Company and the interior reverie of Nobukazu Takemura" - Derek Walmsley Continuing from where he left it 2 years ago after a sold out debut LP released on Hegoa, Iker is back with his follow up “Sinkronia”. A gripping take on Eastern and Western minimalist traditions inf…
Drum'n' Modular Progress
A live album featuring the best tracks from the tour undertaken in April 2026 by the improvisational duo Tatsuya Yoshida and Ichiraku Yoshimitsu is set to be released. Tatsuya Yoshida, known for his overwhelming performance style that makes heavy use of odd time signatures and is powerful, polyrhythmic, and brimming with speed, teams up with Ichiraku Yoshimitsu－who deploys everything from his custom modular system to LEDs, lasers, and even drones to counter with ruthless, rule-breaking technique…

Hrafnamynd
*2026 repress!!* Balmat 17 marks both a return and a new frontier. It is the second album on the label from Patricia Wolf, whose 2022 album See-Through is one of the most beloved in Balmat's catalog; it also marks the first time that Wolf has turned her hand to a film soundtrack. The results are every bit as magical as fans of the Portland, Oregon, composer's music might expect. Hrafnamynd--Icelandic for "raven film"--is a new feature-length documentary by experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Dave…
Dalok
*300 copies limited edition* Adela Mede & Štefan Szabó never set out to make an album. United by their Slovak-Hungarian heritage and a deep love for folk music, they initially started meeting weekly to sing... just sing. Both coming from very different musical backgrounds, each brought distinct characteristics and elements to the table. Over the course of roughly a year, they met almost weekly, each bringing Hungarian folk songs that they found on old vinyl records, scouring internet archives or…
Quatre instantanés d'un tapeur à gages
Antoine Alcaraz is a French electroacoustic composer based in Paris whose work lies at the intersection of acousmatic composition, performance, and experimental sound practices. He specialized in electroacoustic composition in 2019 at the CRR de Paris, studying notably with Denis Dufour, and developed a compositional style informed by dialogue with poetry, the visual arts, and imagery. In 2024, he composed “Près de Nous,” an audiovisual piece adapted from a text by Virginia Woolf. Since Septembe…
Music and Words (3CD Bundle)
Gathered as a three‑disc bundle, Adam Bohman’s Music and Words series reads like a sprawling, decades‑deep diary of the British underground. Domestic cassette experiments, found‑object acoustics and stream‑of‑conscious monologues mutate across volumes 1–3 into a fiercely idiosyncratic universe where language, noise and everyday detritus share equal weight, turning one man’s tape habit into a major work of experimental autobiography.This Bohman’s Bundle contains:- Music and Words- Music and Words…
Lighthouse
Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring’s return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin’s fractured texts conjure Folkestone’s haunted coastline—Vikings, the Morgawr, a fading Britain, the pull of the sea—under the sway of Alternative TV’s Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One), the mechanical vernaculars of Robert Ashley, and the deflated humor of Dad’s Army and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.
Opening the trio’s famed final phase…
Hystérésis
*200 copies limited edition* In 2019, Jérôme Noetinger was invited to join the PIO (Prague Improvisation Orchestra) and there he met Petr Vrba. The chance of touring and musical excitement created this duo afterwards. Petr Vrba works with the trumpet in a very electroacoustic approach with microphones and effects, transforming the instrument into a real generator. Jérôme Noetinger plays magnetic loops on his Revox B77 to metamorphose the sound captured in the moment of its creation.
Together the…

Abrading Headstocks / Running Springs
*2026 stock. 25 copies limited edition. The cassette features interchangeable artwork* Featuring amplified sonic drones, atmospheric qualities and scraping textures. The theme of this record is centred around 'Abrading' - to scrape or wear away by friction or erosion, using the headstock of an amplified guitar to create sounds by using the walls and floor of the rehearsal room.
