Pomegranates
It's been 10 years since Pomegranates - Nicolás Jaar's unofficial/alternative soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's 1969 film The Color of Pomegranates - was first released, and to highlight this occasion we are reissuing the album on vinyl, with the first edition (a collaboration with the label Mana) having long been out of print. Longer and slower-releasing than his other albums, Pomegranates often parallels the cinematic epic on which it’s based, with ideas pursued over long timelines and across d…

Paris 1942
"Difficult as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Sun City Girls did not exist. Prior to the Bishop brothers teaming up with drummer/shaman Charlie Gocher to form SCG's classic trio lineup, there were various ad-hoc assemblages of local Phoenix-area freaks and weirdos – groups which existed only long enough to play a single gig, open mic or house party before disbanding without a trace. Hatched from this milieu was Paris 1942, a short-lived band formed by guitarist Jesse Srogoncik that i…
Two Intersecting Loops of Silence (10")
Two Intersecting Loops of Silence marks a contemplative chapter in the trajectory of Katja Mater, where silence and the perception of time are intimately entwined. Mater translates the invisible dimensions of temporal experience and stillness into a tactile, rhythmic form, engaging the listener in a careful dance between what is absent and what is present. The work, emerging partly in response to the altered rhythms of the pandemic era, actively invites reflection on linearity and cyclical repet…

Aporia #1
An aporetic interrelationship is a state where two irreconcilable components are connected and meaningfully complement each other. The four improvisations explore the hopelessness of being shaped by contradictory forces from which one cannot escape. The dynamism that comes from getting started, trying things out, letting go and playing together is often phenomenal. Sounds and songs can be created that reproduce the vibrations of the live moment of the recording identically. This energy and atmos…
Indistinction #1
*50 copies limited edition* The coming together of rsn and Niacinamide is a powerful wall of noise with incredible depth. The instruments and sound generators interweave inextricably. There is hardly any room for silence or breathing. The bass pushes, the sounds creak and hum, wobble and destroy themselves. Niacinamide and rsn have created four songs, or better call them sound compositions, that are bursting with power and noise. The mood is consistently dark and the songs crawl from the beginni…
Deviation #1
*100 copies limited edition* A stationary tone, a subtle swell, an up and down, a quiet and loud “deviation #1” is an audio journey through an imaginary landscape. At times gentle, as if a wide meadow lies before you. Sometimes dark and booming, as if a thunderstorm is announcing itself and discharging in the mountains. The sounds move from left to right, from top to bottom and circle around themselves. The four parts of “deviation #1” each generate a unique tension, creating an atmospheric spac…

Not to be outdone, Louis Moholo-Moholo turned up to this gig in full ‘warpaint’ and all three p…
