Gamelan Music of Bali: Field Recordings by Deben Bhattacharya, 1973-74
A first-time vinyl & cassette release for pioneering Bengali ethnomusicologist, filmmaker and radio producer Deben Bhattacharya's Bali field recordings, captured in the historic villages of Puri Karangasem, Tegaltamu, and Kayumas Kaja between December 1973 and January 1974. Searingly beautiful and hypnotic, these are some of the finest candid, open-air sonic documents made of gong keybar orchestras accompanying authentic dance-dramas, ceremonial funeral rites and shadow puppetry plays. The 2LP i…
I'll Never, Never Die: Southern Gospel Boogie, 1948-55
DINTE presents a collection of southern gospel sides from late 1940s to mid 1950s capturing the post-WWII departure from rural folk & shape-note singing traditions that had previously defined the music, to quartets and vocal harmony groups embracing of driving, uptempo boogie-woogie rhythms and spirituals borrowed from the black church. Meticulously transferred and restored from the original 78 RPM and transcription discs by collector James Zurek.
éclats Z
For over ten years, Brussels-originals ladr ache have dipped their toes and vocal chords in all matter of musical mischief as only they know how. With éclats z, their latest recorded offering, new canons arise that belong to no place or genre. Between the layers of chant, other voices turn up in old tongues and secret languages, gliding alongside pipes and electronic warps, pulsing in time with the granularity of choice. Recorded over two years in different times and spaces, the living textures …
split
*218 copies limited edition* An LP split between old friends of the weirdo American Underground converges on this 180 gram slab of adventurous out-sounds blurring the boundaries of genre. The duo of Max Nordile and Justin Clifford Rhody deliver high energy bursts of noisy free jazz and a live, slow-burning piece (titled Semi-Rural) that rings reminiscent of Lol Coxhill and Loren Connors carrying out a ritual invocation far from the red carpets of Hollywood. Prior to this album the duo had only r…
split
*40 copies limited edition* We’re living through a difficult period to be publishing creative music (which is really the least of our problems!) And the 7” format seems to have taken an exceptionally hard blow, with apparently little interest from pressing plants in making the format affordable again. But at Physical we’re thoroughly convinced that the little record is a perfect platform for big ideas, and we plan to stay a believer despite financial hardship and almost zero commercial viability…

Inspired by literature and cinema, this music…

Unit of Heart
*300 copies limited edition* A quiet intensity permeates Chantal Michelle’s music, like a veiled flame. Even at its most spare and delicate, an undulating tension unsettles the ear through wavering microtonal interference and uncanny spatial juxtaposition. She takes seriously the mandate of the composer to foster new relationships between various types of sounds, bringing together disparate field recordings, instrumental stems, and the sounds of circuitry in unheard configurations. Resolution is…
Our Souls Sing From Within

Tristes Machines
*2026 stock. 104 copies limited edition* La Division Technique is a French electronics project founded and directed by Philippe Saintlos, which sounds like old-school electronics, dark soundscapes, minimalist synths, industrial ambient, with analog synthesizers, filters, strings, vocals and spatial sound recordings.

Indifferent Rocks Are Rearranged Into A Dam
Originally presented as a quadraphonic fixed media piece. Designed by Philip Marshall. Covert artwork by Owen Schuh. Indifferent Rocks Are Rearranged into a Dam takes various - and sometimes competing - understandings of “Interval”, “isolation” and “distance” as its point of conceptual and compositional departure. Taking its title from a line in Elaine Scarry’s book The Body in Pain, Indifferent Rocks… explores different forms of detachment and abstraction present both in the piece’s making, as…
Apologizing To Ghosts
*150 copies limited edition* Apologizing To Ghosts is a hauntological meditation on the haunted house: its lingering detritus of memories, its cobwebs of remorse, its loops replaying in darkened corners, ghosts quietly apologizing to the ghosts of ghosts. For Varian, ghosts aren't made of ectoplasm so much as of injustice, longing and regret, the unfinished business that keeps them, and us, tethered to some moment we wish we could undo.
As on many previous 400 Lonely Things albums, every sound h…
