New Arrivals / Last week
Maranatha
Marana tha is the sole full-length statement by Megan Sue Hicks, a quietly incandescent artifact of early 70s psychedelic folk. Cut in Australia and pressed in microscopic quantities, it frames intimate, spiritually tinged songs in hushed acoustic settings that feel both homespun and faintly otherworldly.
Kathy Smith / 2
With Kathy Smith / 2, Kathy Smith pushes her Stormy Forest songcraft into a shimmering intersection of jazz, psych-folk and California road-dust. Brass, flutes and subtle funk currents coil around a voice that feels both weathered and luminous, turning outsider singer-songwriter reveries into widescreen, late‑night epiphanies.
Gather in the mushrooms
Compiled by Bob Stanley, Gather in the Mushrooms distils the British acid folk underground into a single, hallucinatory fireside. Drawing on 60s and 70s obscurities, it traces a lineage of homemade mysticism, radical withdrawal and fragile, autumnal songcraft that still feels eerily contemporary.
Sandy
On Sandy, Sandy Denny sharpens intimacy into something orchestral, fusing folk clarity with country shimmer and chamber strings. The album feels like a private notebook sung aloud, where regret, resilience and quiet defiance unfold with luminous, unhurried precision.
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens finds Sandy Denny stepping from the wreckage of Fotheringay into a dreamlike solo territory, where maritime omens, cryptic elegies and barroom detours collide. The arrangements are spare yet spectral, framing lyrics that read like riddles whispered to the tide.
Like an Old Fashioned Waltz
On Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, Sandy Denny leans into cinema-lit nostalgia, braiding English folk melancholy with 30s-inflected strings and jazz standards. Time, memory and solitude waltz together, her voice hovering between confessional intimacy and silver-screen reverie, poised at the fragile brink of reinvention.

Human Hair
*100 copies limited edition* Two pillars of New York's underground converge. Human Hair brings together Pat Murano and Richard Hoffman - both long-running fixtures of the city's most uncompromising experimental scenes - for an album that slithers, coils, and eventually leaves you floating in open space before you realize the lifeline has slipped from your hands.
The pedigree here is formidable. Hoffman's work with Sightings (one of the best bands to ever emerge from NYC, full stop), Insayngel, a…
Ted
*100 copies limited edition* A restless voyage on an electronic ocean of infinite sound. With TED, Brooklyn's Daksina label delivers one of its most ambitious and unclassifiable releases yet - a sprawling two-part journey through LIN11C's dense universe of fractured electronics, spectral voices, and orchestral wreckage.
Across two extended pieces totaling over thirty minutes, TED unfolds like a transmission from some waterlogged future. Clarion calls ring out across cavernous spaces while ghost…
Further Than Thought
180g black vinyl with poly-lined black paper sleeve and double-sided insert. There's a lineage of American fingerstyle guitar that runs from the Piedmont porches of Elizabeth Cotten through Robbie Basho's visionary expansions into spiritual territory - and then, somehow, into the waters. With his second full-length album, Brooklyn-based guitarist Ben Van Bonn acknowledges these predecessors while floating wordlessly into terrain they never mapped.
Further Than Thought is aquatic music in the tru…
Trombi
Finland's Augustus Pablo strikes again! The fourth album by this Nordic melodica wizard delivers deep authentic roots reggae the way it should be done - heavy instrumental vibes, skillful melodica playing and compelling organ work wrapped in a classic rockers manner. Lightman does it ALL himself - writing, arranging, playing, producing, recording, mixing and mastering. One-man roots army! Cover art by Arsi Keva, silkscreened on recycled old LP sleeves - each copy unique. Ultraääni Records contin…
Biologia
300 copies. Rural psych-jazz improvisations by Finnish bastard sons of Arbete & Fritid! This sextet - featuring Toni Laakso, Janne Martinkauppi, Sami Pekkola, Daniel Stolle, Erno Taipale and Ilkka Vekka - delivers some serious countryside free music madness. If you know Pekkola, Taipale and Vekka from their brutal Ho Chi Moon trio (also on Ultraääni), you know what to expect: freedom music with no compromises! But here it gets even wilder - six heads exploring the zones where Swedish progg, Finn…
Rules
Tip! 2025 Stock. In the early 1960s, while Robert Moog was still perfecting his voltage-controlled synthesizers in upstate New York, a young Finnish physicist named Erkki Kurenniemi was building an entirely different future in a basement studio at the University of Helsinki. Working with digital control technology years before the rest of the world caught on, Kurenniemi created instruments that seemed to arrive from a parallel timeline - synthesizers played with electronic pens, machines that tr…

Signals
Huge tip! Following her 2025 minimalist/ambient album ‘just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities’ on Shelter Press, Okkyung Lee moves in another direction with London’s Explore Ensemble. Flung is proud to present Signals, a release that eludes categorisation while shifting between electronics, acoustic composition, and improvisation. It places Lee’s improvisational language in dialogue with the instrumentalists of Explore Ensemble’s sextet, whom together become …

Light Behind Me

His music is rooted in memory, as a way to process emotional fragments.
