CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories
Cults have always had their own soundtracks: songs written to win over, to bind, to manipulate, repeated until they settle beneath thought, becoming core belief and identity. In the disquieting afterlife of such music, CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories begins. The new album from Zürich-based experimental electronic duo Perverts in White Shirts (Nathalie Dreier and Dave Phillips) is a two-hour cringe-pop journey of disarming, catchy tunes. A post-fringe hauntology for those sha…
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (Video Soundtracks Vol 1)
Tip! Longstanding pioneer of the Bay Area, Pacific Coastline underground scene. Seymour Glass has been recording, performing, disrupting and spreading his Musique Concrete trickery for many's the decade. With projects such as Glands of External Secretion with Barbara Manning, BUFMS, Brent Lewis Ensemble , his time as publisher and editor of the now legendary magazine Bananafish, his online mail-order empire – Tedium House, his many other solo and collaborative projects, it is safe to say that Se…
Jules 3000 (Films Made of Antimatter Vol. I)
Tip! *250 copies limited edition* The "Films Made of Antimatter" series is a new experiment from the Fifteen Minutes of Anonymity label, based on the concept of soundtracks for films that have not yet been made. It's an idea that is already familiar to a great number of sonic artists, as many of us have deliberately set out to create a "cinema for the ear" which would, in effect, cause us to imagine film-like narratives within our mind's eyes. This project aims to take things a step further: com…
The Snake, the Frog and the Argument
*50 copies limited edition* 1. The Habu (2020). The Habu is a pit viper endemic to the Ryukyu Islands. The violence done to these islands reverberates through. The Habu is venomous, mostly nocturnal. Spectral. From the dense vegetation it morphs into the island’s mind. The Habu is less a subject than a presence. In fragmented recordings, the work moves like the snake itself.
2. The Frog (2026). Like a frog, this work jumps and jumps. Until it just sits there and evaporates. Ribbit!
3. A Transcri…
Makuhari
*100 copies limited edition* Tokyo-based artist Ryu Yoshizawa has spent the past decade developing a singular language as Koeosaeme. His works sit somewhere between electronic composition, musique concrète, sound collage and sound art. Following a series of acclaimed releases on Orange Milk Records, this album turns his attention to a place close to home: Kaihin-Makuhari, a coastal district on the outskirts of Tokyo. Land that was once part of the sea. Conceived as a future city, Kaihin-Makuhari…

Apocalypse of Intimacy
"Apocalypse of Intimacy" immerses you in a distinct sound universe of Concrète Pop. Strange and inventive, yet unmistakably felt. As if some not-quite-human entity wished to become a folk singer. A contemporary, experimental-electronic work with 11 instrumental pieces that reach toward song-like emotional directness without words. It sounds futuristic but perhaps also ancient.
Karel Naessens is a musician from Ghent, Belgium, who has played with the avant-pop band Peenoise for years. Recently, h…
Warm Ground
*300 copies limited edition* Tara Cunningham’s guitar glitch miniatures draw patterns in negative space on new mini-album Warm Ground. Operating predominantly within improvisational and experimental music, guitarist Tara Cunningham has developed a discrete sonic language that reveals the full textural and timbral range of her instrument. Marking a new chapter for Cunningham that builds on her solo debut, Almost – Not Exactly, released on Non Classical in 2025, Warm Ground unfolds across seven co…
Spring Back, Ball Forward
*300 copies limited edition* Spring Back, Ball Forward is the Soda Gong debut from Jung dj, nom de plume of shapeshifting multi-instrumentalist Randy Riback. Following a series of uniformly great self-releases and cassettes on the dearly missed Lillerne Tapes, this collection observes the spacious and angular dynamics of 1990s Midwestern post-rock through the lens of the bedroom electronic music producer.
Perhaps surprisingly, amp worship lies at the center of the album: a fascination with the …
Jesus Magazine
Animal Sociale is three people’s exploration into the beauty of chaos and the chaos of beauty. It pulls out pieces of time, shuffles them, assembles them anew. Lyricality bordering on the baroque mingles with dionysian iconoclasm of a level truly scarce. This is the human condition crystallised. Featuring members of Ruusuriimu, Animal Sociale’s debut album Jesus Magazine offers a dose of avant-garde experimentation, intimate electroacoustics and a haunting post-industrial atmosphere. LP out now …
Campsite Love
*250 copies limited edition* Campsite Love calls you to wander a timeless path of rural rustlings and misty atmosphere. Created by the minds behind Jazzhand and Haudat/Monocyclocybercilia, the album combines hands-on field recordings with ambient soundscapes. Rattles, resonances, and small details gathered along the way gradually blend together, carrying the listener deeper into a dreamlike summer-night haze. The campfire burns yellow.
Pathless Path
By the end of the 1960s, Charles Lloyd was one of the biggest names in jazz. His quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette reached far beyond the usual jazz audience, while Forest Flower became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. In 1970, at the height of his career, Lloyd disbanded the quartet and withdrew to Big Sur. He continued to make records from time to time, but largely disappeared from the jazz scene while following a more inward and spiritual pa…
Lovelyville
**First ever reissue! Audio remaster from original master tapes.** The Thinking Fellers’ third LP, the second released on vinyl, the first released on Matador Records, the first to include former Glorious Din guitarist and World of Pooh drummer Jay Paget (if only on the opening track), the first to showcase Mark Davies’ baritone horn and Brian Hageman’s viola, and the first where the band’s live and recorded sound sharply diverged, Lovelyville is transitional in just about every sense and yet so…
Taxi
The debut album of the French master improviser from the early 80s finally available again! her impressive release-list over the years - solo, duos, trios, big projects – shows a range of works with most of the current improvisers, to new music (Cage, Scelsi) and dance and theatre with two main constants - playing live plus the celebration of improvisation. This album here shows in a wonderful way how it all started – a strong player with her voice and her instrument. Recorded at Studio Achille,…
