Mystery Meet
2025 stock Vinylization of an insane and legendary CDR that Nashville's Cherry Blossoms collective issued when they did a 2007 tour of Upper and Lower Rangoon with Josephine Foster as a special guest member. The Cherry Blossoms are a musical entity not easily described, but I feel as though their essential whatsis was grasped by Michael Hurley. We were talking a few weeks ago and when the Blossoms were mentioned, Mike said, 'Oh Yeah. I remember the last time I played a gig with those guys. Their…
Wake In Fright
2025 stock "Finely thuggish debut LP by a trio led by guitarist Micah Blue Smaldone, a well-known figure in the same South Portland Maine scene that gave us Big Blood and other treats. Indeed, Micah's fourth solo album was a split with Big Blood, but the fingerpicking sound of his solo recordings is a far cry from Wake in Fright. WIF are a trio. Micah plays guitar, Greg Bazinet plays bass, Jonas Eule plays drums, and all of them add vocals. It was Greg who sort of got things going when he convin…
What Strange Flowers Grow In The Shade
2025 stock Tennessee-based string bender, Joseph Allred likes to change things up from album to album. But usually, he does this one element or instrument at a time. On What Strange Flowers Grow in the Shade, Joseph adds a whole heck of a lot of elements. And he does so without ever really disguising the identity of his music. The six tracks here were all recorded with different line-ups. 'The Valley' features Chris Davis (Cherry Blossoms) and the Magic Tuber Stringband. 'The Ruins' is a Basho-e…
Convalescence
2025 stock Another splendid album of avant hi-jinx and shreddery from keyboard whiz, Liz Durette. Primordial Soup is her fourth album (first was a cassette), and the second for Feeding Tube. It is the follow-up to 2020's most excellent Delight (FTR 504LP) and heads into somewhat different stylistic turf, whilst maintaining Durette's high levels of keyboard invention. If Delight was created while Liz was thinking about Romantic-era waltzes, then Primordial Soup owes some of its strategic approach…

Well Up
2025 stock Liz Durette returns with a gorgeous fourth LP (her third for Feeding Tube) and not a moment too soon! With Well Up, Liz delivers a bright and sparkling sonic gem to illuminate our days and nights. Liz is an artist, keyboardist, improviser, and deep thinker based in Massachusetts, after many years in Baltimore. She has created an uncanny body of musical work of keyboard improvisations. Her style strikes me as utterly unique, and this latest album offers an entirely new example of her v…
DUO
Yukiko Shiina Sakurazawa and Kon Okuma’s DUO, distills collaboration to its most elemental form. Through piano, reeds, and silence, the album traces an unfolding conversation where each phrase is both response and provocation, moving between fragility, tension, and fleeting union.
Diastrophism Dance
Kaori Komura and Yutaka Hirose’s Diastrophism Dance, renders the Earth’s slow violence as sound. Combining environmental recordings, electronics, and acoustic fragments, it transforms geological tension into choreography—a meditation on tectonic movement, fragility, and endurance.
Particles and Waves
Takashi Masubuchi and Yosuke Morone’s Particles and Waves, drifts between gesture and suspension. With guitar, electronics, and tape fragments, the duo render vibration itself as material—each piece a study in how the smallest sonic particle can shape an immense aural field.
Idiorrythmie
Shuta Hiraki and Shuma Ando’s idiorrythmie, examines the art of moving together apart. Through fractured beats, drone layers, and asymmetrical pauses, it turns musical structure into a study of parallel autonomy—two voices in orbit, touching only at unexpected points.

(Kiku (sense) the [drawing + sound]) 描奏をきく
Shiori Sasaki’s 描奏をきく (Kiku (sense) the [drawing + sound]), transforms visual gesture into an audible world. Merging live drawing with acoustic improvisation, it invites the listener into a synesthetic space where ink lines and sonic textures share the same breath.
Sonifying the Sun: The Mass Emergence of Brood XIII and XIX Periodical
Patrick Quinn’s Sonifying the Sun: The Mass Emergence of Brood XIII and XIX Periodical Cicadas, blurs the boundary between scientific observation and ecstatic sound art. Using data sonification and field recordings, it shapes the cicadas’ cosmic rhythm into a resonant meditation on time, light, and collective life cycles.
Otolith
Florian Kolb and Thanos Polymeneas-Liontiris’s otolith is a deep dive into the body’s hidden navigational systems. Translating sonic vibration into a study of balance and disorientation, it shifts between seismic lows and crystalline highs, mapping an aural terrain of tilt, sway, and sensory recalibration.
Notions de Confort
Lise Barkas and Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy’s Notions de Confort is a provocative dismantling of musical ease. Rooted in improvisation yet fractured by raw timbres and spatial instability, it turns comfort into an elusive mirage—challenging the listener to question habitual listening.
Rien de ça
Bruno Duplant’s Rien de ça is a sparse and spectral meditation on presence through absence. Built from near-silences, fractured tones, and shifting aural shadows, it listens like an eroded diary—each sound a ghost of intent, each pause a deliberate, resonant void.
Black Spur
Atsuko Hatano and Joe Talia converge on Black Spur, translating improvisational dialogue into a landscape of flickering tonal mirages. The album bends cello, percussion, and electronics into dark, cinematic forms—meditative, unpredictable, and haunted by unresolved tension.
It’s In Your Ribs
2025 stock We have Asheville NC's Tashi Dorji to thank for this one. It was his enthusiastic recommendation that led us to this insane LP. Both DUNUMS and Casual Planes are duos originally formed in Durham NC. The former in 2010, the latter in 2017. They are both currently comprised of Sijal Nasralla (also of Durham punk trio, The Muslims) and Alston Palmer (who does solo electronics as Hoverist). Sijal is the leader of DUNUMS, and Alston (who relocated to Los Angeles a few years back) is the br…
Soul Chateau
2025 stock No shortage of dune buggy up the canyon honey slide action here. The first tinges of sonic solvent action provide a loosened effect, but just as the tongue gets lazy, the swagger is spat gently from the tip as clarity bursts into the room with the urgency a hungry baby. Delicate without feeling soft. Brash without feeling harsh and at times Dimples swing fucking hard, like JJ and Leon without forcing it one bit. But if you don't like 'new music' this might not be your cuppa. Soul Chat…
3
2025 stock "This is the third LP by the duo comprised of Greg Dalton (aka Gary War) and Rob 'Sunburned' Thomas, formerly known as Dalthom, but actually named whatever the pair feel like calling it. Recorded shortly before the disastrous election of 2016, it is partially filled with the darkness, paranoia and creeping dread that filled that time period. But there is also a hefty amount of the druggy, electronic ecstasis for which the duo is known (no matter their handle.) Gary and Rob met when th…
Slog Quest Crosstime
2025 stock "For the last two decades or so, The Human Adult Band, led by T. Penn, has been at the vanguard of New Jersey's sub underground scene. Sometimes there are a lot of them, sometimes there are only a few, but the size of the scumball their music generates is always quite gigantic regardless of their number. Slog Quest Crosstime is a monstrously pleasant example of what the band does. Their LOUD free rock dynamism is a classic example of how to move things from point A to point B without …
