New Arrivals / Today
Derma
*150 copies limited edition* Derma emerges from my dialogue with music, space, and silence. It is an immersive sonic experience where every gesture is guided by the here and now—by raw emotion, sensory perception, and the act of creation itself.
Through the use of extended techniques, the performance evolves into a unique, unpredictable path where distinct soundscapes merge into a deep, continuous flow. The core of the sound lies in the tactile relationship between the drum skin and the objects …
Efterbörd
*2026 stock. 180 copies limited edition* Crematorius returns with Efterbörd, a dense and uncompromising work of death industrial, power electronics, and dark ambient released by Minneapolis-based label Phage Tapes. Originally connected to material recorded under the Crematorius name in 1987, the album marks the project’s first substantial new statement in nearly four decades.
Across nine suffocating tracks, Efterbörd drags the listener through a landscape of saturated drones, corroded electroni…
An Act Of Self Mutilation Is An Act Of Freedom
*2026 stock. 200 copies limited edition* IRM presents An Act Of Self Mutilation Is An Act Of Freedom, a work that transforms inner conflict, physical intensity, and emotional extremity into a radical statement of liberation. Released through Phage Tapes, the album inhabits the unstable space between violence and vulnerability, collapse and renewal, destruction and release.
Rather than offering easy catharsis, IRM confronts the listener with an uncompromising sonic language—raw, abrasive, and dee…
Music To Watch Seeds Grow By 009: Patricia Wolf (Yarrow)
‘Yarrow’ is a bouquet of new music by Portland, Oregon-based musician and field recordist Patricia Wolf, marking the label’s ninth release and the third of Season Two. These works are her reflections on the life cycle of plants and their dynamic ecological relationships. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium, Asteraceae) is a flowering plant with a broad geographic range that includes North America and Eurasia. Yarrow connects Portland and London, where these songs were created and produced. Wolf wrote a…
Displaces
On Displaces, sound artist Francesco Fabris fashions a high‑dimensional cartography of memory, hyperobjects and matter, where langspil, biophonies and geophonies are folded into phased time‑space, drifting between suffocation and release in an eerily tactile sonic ecosystem.
Far Away Worlds
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sounding waves between the inner and outer spaces, electromagnetic forces from the breathing ether.
Close Your Eyes, See Black
*150 copies limited edition* "Close your eyes, see black" is a slow descent into the depths, like freediving or deep anesthesia taking us to the sunken center of ourselves. When the darkness is too dense, when visibility is too low, what we had imagined as a privileged observation point becomes a lookout over the void. We must resurface to understand, with the new awareness that we cannot find everything within ourselves. Re-emerged, once again we ask ourselves how far we can see.
Athanor
*150 copies limited edition* Within him lies a chamber made of attention rather than walls. There, a quiet warmth works without flame, loosening certainties, refining what has settled into form. Nothing is forced; everything is listened into being. A tone, a shadow, a fragment of light; each pass through him as trace rather than possession. The world is not captured but accompanied, allowed to breathe, to fade, to re-emerge altered. In this inward vessel, transformation is a discipline of patien…
L'Anticristo (O L'Accettazione Del Male)
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* This new album titled "The Antichrist or the Acceptance of Evil" is a project that is particularly important to me. It's a difficult theme, discussing violence, which exists in each of us, and how we make it seem normal by accepting and justifying it. Unfortunately. It is an imaginary story of a person—whether man or woman doesn't matter—who, by experiencing violence, discovers themselves.
Sing A Beast
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sing-A-Beast is the debut solo album of Mariella Modonese following numerous collaborations with various exponents of the Italian research scene. The album contains 10 tracks conceptualized, composed and performed by Miriam and produced by her son Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, ( r ), Blind Cave Salamander,...) portraits of different animals organized into a sort of bizarre bestiary containing short spurts and long elaborate musical suites as well as …
Works
Four years have passed since the release of Jon Collin's majestic Bridge Variations on Discreet Music, arguably one of the most defining and well-received releases on the label. Works is the first LP under the Early Music artist name - first the title of a 2015 solo LP, then a name for a label before being used for a couple of recent cassette releases - and was recorded in Stockholm over a nine-month period last year. The main instrumentation is again the keyed fiddle - a traditional Swedish fol…
Illusion of an Inland Ocean
*100 copies limited edition* Written, recorded, mixed, and produced entirely by Bessel, Illusion of an Inland Ocean expands the worlds of Visitation (2023) and Mirror at Night (2025) into his most expansive and mysterious work to date. His recent work has received international recognition from publications including SPIN, The Big Takeover, Various Small Flames, Post-Punk, Mystic Sons, Obscure Sound, Destroy//Exist, and others, establishing him as a distinctive voice at the intersection of ambie…

When asked “is it jazz or folk?” about his band Whatever, Danny Thompson replied “well, it’s Whatever!” Hence the name. When Danny started Whatever, a trio with reed player Tony Roberts and guitarist Bernie Holland, and in…
Year's Ending Dark Ambient (4Tape Box)
It's never too late for the end. After a little break failing lights returns this time with an overarching seasonal tiding of flowing swirling churning dark ambience abstractions that juxtapose between constant slow motion detailed changes against the ability for the listener to completely lose track of where they are and what exactly they are listening to. the connellys deliver festive seasonal electronics.
We Are Everyone
A dream come true for A Colourful Storm to be releasing an early gem by Tenniscoats, a duo whose DIY spirit, boundless creativity and lust for life and collaboration has left an indelible mark. From self-releasing albums and tapes on their own Majikick imprint to meeting kindred spirits The Pastels, Bill Wells and Jad Fair in between outings for Morr Music, Chapter and Häpna, to name but a few, Tenniscoats have embodied an understated determination and optimism for over two decades.
"A foghorn m…
Faux Départ
Welcoming Tori Kudo back to A Colourful Storm with a new edition of Maher Shalal Hash Baz's Faux Départ, a document of a stateside tour that culminated in a recording session at the legendary Dub Narcotic Studio with a one-time ensemble of Greg Saunier and Chris Cohen (Deerhoof), Andrew Maxwell, McCloud Zicmuse, Arrington de Dionyso, Takashi Ueno, Saya Ueno, Naoki Otani, Akiko Hotaka, Masaaki Endo and Naoki Otani. Always spontaneous, never rehearsed. Music in and of this world, seemingly teeteri…
Hits Different
Following their debut “Jazz Report From The Hood", which proved a major success and brought attention to Omasta as one of the most distinctive groups emerging from the contemporary jazz scene, the musicians return with their second album, “Hits Different”. The record develops the language established on their debut, pushing it into new territory and shifting the perspective from that of the protagonists themselves to that of a narrator telling the story. In just one year, Omasta went from an eme…
No Skill Comedy Mind Reading
Aaron Dilloway returns to Dais Records with 'No Skill Comedy Mind Reading', his first full-length album since 2017, a collection of characteristically jarring, absurdist material. Marked by his signature distortions and contortions — feedback-shrouded found sounds, field recordings, and vocal improvisations — 'No Skill' collects nearly a decade of select solo work and feels distinctly in the present, a scattered product of volatility, both harsh and humorous. Few contemporary experimental artist…
Live At Nate's Snake Pit
Recorded by Nate Young live at The Snake Pit, Pontiac, MI July 5, 2026. SYTH (sic) 5, Tapes, Bows.
Headache Contest
A few weeks ago I hit up this resale shop I haven't been to before. Serious junk store.. stuff piled up everywhere, I had to lay on a pile of Christmas wreaths just to dig through some of the records. Anyway... I get to the electronics room. Ironically enough it has no lights... I start looking with the flashlight from my phone. Mountains of wires and junk and speakers and modems. I see this metal box laying randomly under a bunch of wires, I pull it out thinking it's probably some old telephone…
