The Swamp Live
The Swamp’ is a get-to-know-you party where furniture is broken, wine glasses are smashed and walls are defaced with graffiti, but the living room remains more beautiful than the night before. The album is the first meeting between vocalist Maja S. K. Ratkje, guitarist Torstein Slåen and electronics artist Sigurd Ytre-Arne. With a fair dose of anti-bullshit inherited from decades of jazz/improv/contemporary music mixed together in the Norwegian stew pot, they improvise new songs across time, aes…
Bright Madness
Bright Madness is the third album from the pinch-me-is-this-real improvising trio of Wendy Eisenberg, David Grubbs, and Bonner Kramer. Fresh off their 2025 Big Ears appearance, Squanderers slid on over to Kramer’s adopted hometown of Asheville, North Carolina and laid down the glorious afternoon’s worth of instant compositions that stands before you. It’s the sound of Eisenberg, Grubbs, and Kramer doing their damnedest to dazzle one another, from shell-game sleights of hand to the effortless bea…
Undercurrent / Wanderlust
With a refined, modern sensibility and a deeply human sense of space, “Undercurrent / Wanderlust” balances detail and emotion. Each track unfolds like a short journey: moments of clarity and restraint giving way to tension, color, and release. The partnership between Suzuki’s expressive musical voice and Okagawa’s atmospheric approach creates a sound world that is both immersive and immediate—an invitation to listen closely, then follow where the music leads.
Death Drug And TV Screen
Started out as a sideproject to Incipientium and The Family Men, Gustav Danielsbackas' Future Chemicals has slowly evolved into its own ugly thing, exploring his passion for video culture and dystopian, technological havoc. Death Drug And TV Screen was initially meant as a soundtrack for a film started in 2022 that got forever stuck in limbo. Saved from the production room vortex, Discreet Music now presents the whole, massive thing in its mind-melting entirety. Clocking in on almost 70 ambitiou…
Tongue Ebbing Into a Tenebrist Dusk
*25 copies limited edition. Includes a Solar Magic Tongue Amulet, an envelope with a handwritten poem, and a small bell. Signed and numbered editions made by NNN Cook.* "On his new album Tongue Ebbing Into a Tenebrist Dusk, St. Louis artist NNN Cook explores the complex terrain of speech and thought, of quiet interiority and the outward expressions that can emerge from it. Following this interest in language, each track title presents a variation on a tongue depicted in a new tint, though the tr…
Telegogue
On Telegogue, Charlie Thall detonates a 29‑minute, eleven‑track riot of cartoonishly surreal genre‑mashups that feel born and bred in the infinite remix lab of the digital DIY. Frenetic keys, MIDI drums and warped child voices collide into neurotic, hyper‑danceable earworms that treat the internet’s trash heap as sacred compositional mulch.
Slow Diet Ketamine Era
On Slow Diet Ketamine Era, New York City Chapters and Weird Shit U.S.A. 2 yank sampledelia into a sleazy, rubble‑strewn mixtape fever dream. Two thirty‑minute collages of chopped‑and‑screwed B‑side rips, plundered dollar‑bin grooves and neon grime‑slime hip‑hop loops sketch a pitch‑black, hysterical fiction from the sidewalk’s ignored edge.
A Body of Water
On A Body of Water, Kaloja - the duo of Jan Anderzén and Paul Wilson - summon a strangely pastoral, hyper‑alive electronic ecosystem. Psychedelic synthesis, physical modelling and impressionistic sound‑painting converge into abstract figures that ripple through an unstable yet welcoming landscape, like sentient currents moving beneath a calm surface.
Wyszymory
Maciej Envee Goliński is an artist who probably needs no introduction. He has been working with U Know Me practically since the label's inception. His last album ("Time & Light") made a huge impact worldwide, but we had to wait eight years for the next vinyl release. In the meantime, Maciej has certainly been busy – he has released numerous club singles under several aliases, and has helped record and mix numerous albums from the world of jazz, soul, and electronica. "Wyszymory" is a carefully c…
Hirotta ishiga wareta
When one thinks of the terms “mass” and “massive” in music, especially contemporary music, perhaps certain aural images come to mind: generic metal heaviness; dynamics-bereft noise; ear-battering dance floor madness; the multitudinous forms of drone darkness. All of these are massive in their own fashion. However, this newstudio album from 7FO (pronounced “nana f o”), a composer-performer based in northern Osaka, investigates and inhabits a different aspect of the massive. A glorious combination…
Play Nursery Rhymes and Children's Songs
The terms “nursery rhymes” and “children’s songs” may give rise to visions of idyllic innocence and the charms of childhood, but Play Nursery Rhymes and Children's Songs by Tokiyo Ooto & Orhythmo, their first release on EM Records, brings forth quite different aural imagery: this is an eerie and unsettling sonic picture book which hints at the darkness and mystery which form the hidden heart of many traditional songs and rhymes. The length of the songs provides a hint: each piece delves deeply i…
Havana
‘Havana’ is the thirteenth album by Agile Experiments, the shape-shifting project of multi-instrumentalist/producer Dave De Rose. Following on from 2024's 'Loukoumades', the album channels the heat-hazed, tympanic pulse of Cuba’s capital into a document of joyous collective improvisation, ecstatic groove alchemy and meticulously original choices of post-production. 'Havana' had already gathered support from Songlines Magazine, Electronic Sound Magazine, Gilles Peterson, Zakia and many more.
Weathered People
None More Records present Weathered People, the second album on NMR from experimental singer-songwriter Joe Woodham. Building and evolving from his previous record Worldwide Weather, Weathered People was inspired by a continuing fascination with the weather and pondering on the effect it has on us collectively. The album explores themes of psychology, wellbeing, spirituality, geology and deep time whilst always trying to be grounded and rooted by nature.
Inspired by the space and depth of compos…
Ramraid At The Wiggly Worm
Brighton artist and producer Stephen Maskell - moonlighting as Violet Cowboy - returns with an epic sixth release on Kit Records. Ramraid at the Wiggly Worm finds the sonic sculptor in playful mood, thumbing the flipbook through mulchy blues guitar, gothic storytelling, elasticated dub and gossamerlike classical minimalism.
Maskell's flow state seems to exist in the pocket where genres meld, and no sound is safe or sacred. His archive slops like a bargain bin of British culture, topped up on gle…
Ciprés
Buenos Aires composer Ignacio Sandoval, aka YOTO, returns to London's Kit Records with a new album of dismantled Argentinian folk music. Taking root at the border between Latin American folk tradition and the kiln of Buenos Aires' distinctly bustling experimental arts scene, Ciprés is a loose-limbed collection of elegiac storytelling.
Guitar remains at the heart of YOTO's practice; each piece on Ciprés began life as a miniature improvisation, recorded in real time then gently adorned with splint…
4ever
Violeta García and Hora Lunga return with 4ever, their second album and the follow-up to I’ll Wait For You In The Car Park. Released in 2025 on -ous, their debut received airplay on BBC and NTS and was selected for Bandcamp’s Best Experimental Music year-end list. 4ever picks up where that record left off: in ordinary moments, small scenes and the strange emotional weight of being somewhere between places. But here, these moments are stretched across a much larger, darker screen. A night flight,…
Find the Gyres
Over the years Sterling MacKinnon has quietly carved out an essential role for himself. As half of Cuneiform Tabs (W.25/Superior Viaduct, World of Echo), an original member of Violent Change (Slothmate), and the sole driver behind False Berries (Slothmate), he has functioned as a facilitator of momentum - a kind of midfield presence. You know, the number 8; vision, restraint, distribution. The one who sees the play before it fully forms and moves it along accordingly. There’s a certain amount of…
Live at the Hope and Anchor Recorded on November 22nd, 1977
This set consists of an entire show at the Hope and Anchor pub in Islington, North London, recorded on 22 November 1977. This particular concert took place on the opening night of the "Front Row Festival", a series of shows by regulars of the venue during 1977. Many of the songs in the band's set that night were played by request; for this show, they rehearsed their entire catalogue. It is regarded as one of the band's more memorable shows.
Epic Sound Battles Chapter One
Here’s a monster of its own. Not to be confused with Trevor Jackson early 2000 project (even if the british producer has obviously been informed by post-punk, dub, post-industrial and the likes) Playgroup was more than anything a collective, based somewhere around Bristol and London. Drummer Bruce Smith was the key figure behind the project. Neneh Cherry husband and fabulous motorik force for The Pop Group, The Slits, New Age Steppers, African Head Charge and – more recently - Public Image Limit…
Snappy Turns
Debut solo album for Alternative Tv frontman and long-time running Uk punk scenester, originally released in 1980 on Deptford Fun City Records. Mark Perry was also the man behind the iconic Sniffin' Glue zine, founded in July 1976. The album was produced by Grant Showbiz, principally known for his work with The Fall, The Smiths and Billy Bragg, and it is literally an art-rock nugget.
Sort of an autobiographical work, the record is full of twisted hooks, showing the dark side of post-punk. Less h…
