Early Music
Coming a couple of years after High Peak Selections, Early Music was the second 'studio' full-length album by Jon Collin. More spare and sparse than its predecessor, both in atmosphere and presentation (the track names are simply numbers), it's also perhaps more focused and consistent in terms of sound and mood (as well as instrumental set-up and recording locale). While High Peak Selections and later recordings feature environmental and external sounds bleeding in and out of recordings, the onl…
High Peak Selections
Recorded in churches and industrial buildings in the the North of England, and originally released on Winebox Press in 2013, High Peak Selections was the first full-length vinyl release by Jon Collin. Across its six mostly improvised tracks, it showcases an artist somewhat at odds with much of the wave of fingerpicking acoustic guitarists that was in the middle of breaking around this time. While the base technique here is still fingerstyle, his use of various preparations, metal slides, feedbac…
Terrain Vague II
*300 copies limited edition* Arbitrary presents Terrain Vague II - the second album by Danish electro-acoustic trio Mesmer. With this work, the trio creates a sensuous and reflective space to inhabit in a time marked by speed, noise, and digital fragmentation. Terrain Vague II emerges from field recordings made in Læsø, Frederikshavn, and Aalborg in Denmark. Using environmental sounds from harbors, coastlines, and the outskirts of the city, Mesmer explores the places where nature and culture int…

Alive Alone, Alive Together
Guitarist Ava Mendoza returns with a powerful and emotionally stirring live album — half solo electric guitar, and half duos with legendary drummer Hamid Drake. Featuring radically transformed versions of songs from her acclaimed albums The Circular Train and New Spells, as well as brand-new pieces, this is a thrilling document of Mendoza at her best — onstage in front of an audience.
American Psyche
Ella Fitzgerald meets Gangsta Rap and the Beach Boys encounter their despotic father. American Psyche by Raymond Pettibon & Oliver Augst is an ABC of Jazz standards and nostalgia on speed, "that the world will never forget."
Harhapoluilla
*Released on 100 gold cassettes with UV printing* “Harhapoluilla” takes the listener on a midnight walk through old birch forests, abandoned villages, through creaking wooden doors, to a special inner landscape. Musically this takes the form of many strange samples, analog loops from cryptic sources and found sounds. Noise elements also occasionally take the forefront but the mysterious atmosphere never fades away completely.
The themes of the album, says Klemi, deal with “Images of deep forests…
Empty Talk
Aki Tsuyuko's Empty Talk dropped in 2017, not 2016 like some sites say. Japan release, self-released and through Enban, limited to 400 vinyl copies. Art by Ippei Matsui, silk-screened jacket-cool touch, makes each copy feel a bit unique. Mastered by Ztom Motoyama, recorded at Ongakushitsu. Feels niche, but that's the point. Album's under Electronic, but calling it just that is lazy. It's Ambient, yeah, but also Abstract, Experimental. Like someone took field recordings from a half-remembered dre…
Almost Waking
"Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highl…
Live at Ritual Botanica
"Messrs. Corsano and Dorji are both familiar names in the Feeding Tube discography. Chris has played drums on eight FTR LPs (and recorded two other), and Tashi has played guitar on six (details upon request if you are lazy.) But this is the first time they have appeared on vinyl as a duo, and we are damn proud to have them. Over the past years Chris has recorded with a lot of the era's best guitarists -- Bill Nace, Ben Chasny, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, David Vanzan, Bill Orcutt, Rick Bishop, G…
Trilogy Live
Tip! *80 copies limited edition* The journey together started 2017 with “SC00” the debut release of Scatterwound featuring two tracks recorded during their Microphonics + N Tour in 2010. Followed by their live debut as Scatterwound in 2017, when they played at the Moving Noises Festival in Germany at Christuskirche Bochum. After that show they did a tour and they also played at the Roadburn Festival in 2018. We documented most of those shows on CD and Tape releases.
Right before their debut show…
È Ora Di Farlo
*300 copies limited edition* Ansgar Wilken and Chris Dreier are Berlin-based visual artists as well as seasoned practitioners in many, often improvised, contexts of experimental music. Dreier started her experimental sound practice in the 1980s as a member of the legendary collective Die Tödliche Doris. Ansgar Wilken started his career out of Bremen, where he was a member of the post-rock band Ilse Lau and started his own label Happy Zloty, which is still active today. This album is the second d…
Förlorarnas Natt
*300 copies limited edition* New 12-track Blod album recorded spring 2025, and the first one since Livets Ord from 2018 to be recorded entirely in a studio, this time at Omnivox Studio in Borlänge. Förlorarnas Natt is an all instrumental album and Gustafs intention was to make a soundtrack-style album with a strong cinematic feel. Even though there is no existing movie, yet, the story takes you through a Friday night in the life of a young person and the first meetings with the adult world. Naïv…
Tela
*2026 stock. 60 copies limited edition* Tela is the full-length debut of Stockholm-based composer Simon Hansson and was recorded in April 2024. Across its four movements, waves of pulsating feedback are woven into a dense sonic fabric. The title 'Tela' refers to plain weave, or simply cloth, reflecting the intricate processes of over-under interlay that structure the material. Recursive patterns and constant iteration unfold at a glacial pace, continuing Hansson's exploration that defines his si…
