Repeater
*2025 stock* There is something really special about music based on drones. Whether it's the vocals of Pandit Pran Nath, the ARP 2500 of Eliane Radigue, or the nearly-blown amps of Sunn O))), by changing the listeners's focus on details to one that favors flow, drones are uniquely capable of transporting our brains far far away. The debut LP, 'Repeater', by this loudly droning Austin septet is a goddamn splendid example of how the process works. Using the motto, “Maximal Repetition Minimal Devia…
Un Monolito en llamas quiebra el Horizonte
*300 copies limited edition* In the twilit caverns of Serra de Collserola, a crooked journey begins. The vague contour of the Hierophant emerges in an ash-pale fog. He stretches his arms towards the sky. He opens his mouth, and from it radiates the blinding light of swallowed suns. He howls — he shouts — he roars: words that crackle like fire. Words that unravel worlds. Words that hew, from ancient rock and staves oaken wood, hymns of hypnotic grandeur, liminal laments, and solemn songs of comfo…

Live In Meetkerke
"This tape is the registration of a session I played on invitation by Knotwilg Records on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the town hall of Meetkerke, a one street village tucked away between Bruges and the North Sea in the midst of Flanders flatlands. The session was broadcasted live during the Kneautwilg radioshow on Studio Néau that afternoon. I recorded the air waves on magnetic tape with a Korg CR-3, two SM57 mics and two AKG C1000 mics. This tape is the result of those analog recordings." - Knotw…
Alien Space Wreck
"As i was looking for tracks for our monthly Kneautwilg radioshow i jumped into my cdr collection and stumbled upon a pile of those mini-cdr's so fashionable in the first decade of this century. Without prelistening i played it on the show resulting in juvenile state of enthusiasm. The hints towards a young Dead C are there, sure. But it sounded different: maybe younger, wilder. So who else can make such a nz guitar assault? I should have known the answer being a long time CJA/Futurians fan. Sur…
The Wind That Had Not Touched Land
Annie A, the one-off collaborative project between Félicia Atkinson, Time is Away, Christina Petrie and Maxine Funke, arrives on A Colourful Storm with an inquisitive, exploratory composition evoking questions of inconstancy and reconciliation, vastness and finitude and the sometimes cruel deception of human perception. Who will conduct our dreams if we never wake?
It is a geographically diverse yet like-minded ensemble whose seeds were sown during an A Colourful Storm show in London, where tim…

Sweet Distractions
Sewer Election started blessing the underground noise scene around 2002 and has since released tons of stuff, from harsh noise to raw musique concrète-like things and tape works. ”Sweet Distractions” is a long piece sitting comfortably in the corner of his more laid back and ambient works. Sounds a bit like William Basinski never cleaned his reel to reel machines. Broken, beautiful and strange in the best possible way. Recorded in parallell w Kassettmusik back in 2007. Same technique with crude …
