Soft Shakes
Go Kurosawa is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and co-founder of the independent label Guruguru Brain. Best known as the drummer and vocalist of Kikagaku Moyo, he has spent the past decade building bridges between East and West, sound and silence, rock and ritual. soft shakes is something different. A personal chapter in Go’s journey, it marks his first solo album, created entirely by himself and made, for the first time, purely for himself. After Kikagaku Moyo disbanded, Go spent some time p…
Electronic Phantoms
Our new album is filled with a kind of sensibility that wasn't a part of our first one: a desire to get anyone who hears it to get up and dance. We spent 2023 playing a good number of live shows, from touring and playing festivals throughout Europe and Japan. We are a band without a drummer, and we’ve been using synths and drum machines—jamming along with machines so to speak—to freely rearrange the songs from our debut album. That experience is what motivated us to make this EP. Playing live in…
Minami Deutsch
2025 Repress Minami Deutsch was formed by Kyotaro Miula (guitar, vocals, synthesizer) in Tokyo in 2014. Their sound is influenced by both their love for Krautrock legends such as Can and Neu!, and the band members being self-professed "repetition freaks" who heavily listen to minimal techno. The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, cold…
With Dim Light
2025 Repress Minami Deutsch is back at it again with their latest LP entitled With Dim Light. Whilst softening their sound and cushioning the blow, you can expect a more profound diversity in their sound, whilst retaining the principle ingredients that make them so great such as their signature fuzz, thumping bass and dream like vocals. There is a heavier experimentation in regards to genre exploration. With hints of post punk and nods to late 60s psychedelic rock, this shows that Minami Deutsch…
Hamewith
A Happy Return’s Hamewith distills a quietly radiant folk minimalism that feels both homespun and transcendent. Built from acoustic sketches, tape hiss, and pastoral fragments, the record reflects on belonging, landscape, and impermanence—its short pieces flickering like field recordings of emotion, half-remembered but deeply intimate.
Tragic Magic
Tragic Magic is the reflection of a singular musical dialogue between Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore—an elegy and invocation shaped by recent wildfires in Los Angeles and the serene grandeur of Paris’s Musée de la Musique. Across seven tracks, the harp’s ancestral lilt and analog synth shimmer are fused in explorations of loss, hope, and renewal, yielding a chronicle of what it means to endure and create together in the face of upheaval.

Brooklyn Pirates: Neighbourhoods in the Sky, 2014-2021 documents David Goren’s deep listening project dedicated to Brooklyn’s pirate radio underworld, spanning recordings made between 2014 and 2021. Issued on vinyl for the first time by Death Is Not The End, the album is an extraordinary aural chronicle of New York’s invisible airwaves, focusing primarily on the rich, labyrinthine world of Caribbean-run stations, with excursions into Turkish, Orthodox Jewish, and other broadcast communities.

These two exceptional concerts highlighted a radical and unique style of music, at the crossroads of new music and chamber rock, skilfully blending acoustic and electric instruments, as heard on the cult album 'Ceux du Dehors'.
Became These
Became These, the newest double LP by Lou Mallozzi, collects previously unreleased sound works spanning 1996–2020. Released by Pentiments in October 2025, it showcases Mallozzi’s enduring practice of dismantling and reconstituting gesture, sound, and language, enveloping the listener in a poetic destabilization of the familiar through experimental audio collage and improvisation.
Ex Stasis 69
Ex Stasis 69, the new audio work by Joseph Nechvatal. Fuses erotic tension, cybernetic poetics, and immersive noise aesthetics into a hypnotic sound experience. Drawing from his decades-long inquiry into “viral” media and the sensual limits of perception, Nechvatal explores the ecstatic collapse between machine, body, and dream.
Fatti di Gente Perbene
Originally composed in 1974 for Mauro Bolognini’s film Fatti di Gente Perbene (The Murri Affair), Ennio Morricone’s score returns in 2025 with a newly remastered limited pink-vinyl edition from Cinevox. Long considered one of his most lyrical and overlooked works, it merges romantic melancholy and psychological suspense through exquisite writing for strings, piano, and subtle chamber textures.

Released by Corbett vs. Dempsey in March 2025, the album unfolds as a suite for reeds—melding lyricism, memory, and improvisation into a deeply human meditation on influence and kinship. Each piece, named after flowers, resonates as both homage and renewal.

A decade after its long-awaited release, Coil's landmark album Backwards returns in a special 10 year anniversary vinyl reissue. The black vinyl edition comes in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail, honoring the album's elusive, mercurial nature with understated elegance. After the ground-breaking release of 1990's Love's Secret Domain, Coil were not dormant - far from it. The main project was Backwards, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and tr…
Nāsūr
Nāsūr, the new album by Arash Akbari, expands his vocabulary of austere drone and emotional abstraction. Released in 2025, it blends granular synthesis, degraded tape atmospherics, and muted harmonic motion to evoke the residue of wounds—emotional and historical—that never fully heal. The result is a haunting essay in texture, silence, and persistence.
9
On 9, Rick Sanders distills a decade’s worth of ambient experiment into a patient, somber meditation on texture, memory, and impermanence. Released in late September 2025, the album leverages modular synthesis to gently fracture time and space, culminating in soundscapes that are immersive, contemplative, and quietly luminous across seven long-form tracks.
