Pure Materials
*100 copies limited edition* We’re extremely delighted to present you a new album by DUP SYS, one of Osaka’s finest ambient acts. The nine tracks on “Pure Materials” sound like an updated version of John Hassel’s idea of 4th world music.

Fallen
*100 copies limited edition* Sontag Shogun’s Jesse Perslstein and Shinya Sugimoto join us again with a follow-up to 2019’s “I Confess”. A long-form piece broken into four parts, that tells a story of change, of love found and lost. Using soundscapes taken from travels, voicemails, conversations about loss and love, and adding lamenting vocals, noise and piano, this album encapsulates the distance between people, both geographic and emotionally, and the delicate passage of time.
Daarbuiten
*100 copies limited edition* We’ve been huge fans for quite some while and we're happy to announce our first collaboration with Belgian sound maestro David Edren. on Daarbuiten or “The outside” Edren showcases his idea of painting a vivid portrait of the great outdoors. His gamelan-like rhythms and catchy melodies create a sound that feels dynamic and playful at the same time.

Metaphysical Swatting
After emerging from a red shag-carpeted basement in Baltimore in 2012, Comfort Link produced a series of skewed concrete muzak albums knitted together with wobbly tape loops of found and recycled sounds, gradually shifting toward a darker post-industrial sound collage style on more recent releases. On Metaphysical Swatting, battered reel-to-reel tape machines and portable cassette recorders scramble up the primary sound sources of voice and organ - ancient reels of tape with loose oxide are over…
The Movers Brought Rainbows
Long-running Jersey outfit Human Adult Band come to us after dropping a sickening array of no-fi noise rock and damaged art punk tapes and records upon the public. And yet, The Movers Brought Rainbows is probably their most abstract and alien work to date. While the guitar/bass/drums/voice formation is still the genesis of these recordings, at its core feedback and reverb are the star players here. Source sessions recorded at various locations are unapologetically run through the ringer, subject…
Sintered
Tim Olive lives in and operates out of Kobe, Japan, where he has built an impressive discography of solo and collaborative recordings using magnetic pickups as a primary instrument. Sintered was created with several of these magnetic pickups, along with metal objects, radios, and spring reverb. Working with such temperamental technology, it’s clear that Olive’s intuition and timing are assets put to good use here, sharpened from decades of collaboration and improvisation, from his early work as …
