Rex / Extremum probably marks a new direction for the Swedish tape loop and synth trio Organ of Corti. The tension is still there but the sound is clearer, more separated and hi fi in the most lo fi sense. This is things falling apart, and for you deeply into bad vibes. Two tracks. The Mississippi river on the cover. Just can't go wrong. Organ of Corti is Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL). They have a common interest in repetition, h…

Latest release from Canadian noise act Knurl. Special thanks to David Murphy for releasing this.

Rounding out the first twenty releases on the label, right back where we started, Krim Kram HQ all-time favs, the inimitable Bren't Lewiis Ensemble. Dumb Tangerine Dream collects four 3" CDRs originally released during those apocalyptic years of 2019 to 2021 in micro editions of 25 copies each. No longer only available to the die-hard freaks and doomsday cultists, now ripe for the masses. Dumb Tangerine Dream presents a somewhat different side to the group from that of Hand Signals, consisting o…

New collection of Adam Bohman's signature cut-up found text pieces and intricate close-mic'd improvisations with homemade stringed instruments and small objects. Guaranteed to get your mouth watering and head spinning. While the ordinary well-adjusted citizen is liable to whitey within 30 seconds, those of us with stronger constitutions will be unfazed by the regressive babbling state you may find yourself in. Hold fast, you are one joyous step closer to enlightenment. "Adam Bohman has been oper…

*37 copies limited edition* Formen's second album, "Dialektik," approaches the ambivalence of our contemporary society through the possibilities of sound design. The individual tracks, as well as the album as a whole, are filled with emotional contrasts, conflicting timbres, and inherent ambiguity. By bringing together opposing ideas, the album attempts to develop its own aesthetics, combining seemingly contradictory concepts such as noise/harmony, dysfunction/function, analog/digital, nature/te…

*100 copies limited edition* Schall/Formen explores the interaction between acoustic sounds and their electronic modulation in real time. The duo aims to reflect on the boundaries between these two realms: Acoustic instruments are microphoned, combined with the rhythms of an analog drum machine, and modulated in real time using a mixing console with interacting delay lines, tangled feedback loops, and subtle equalizer adjustments. No computers, DAWs, or software - just pure sound and electricity…

*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Pascal Lopinat's prepared and amplified drumset, with which he has been experimenting and touring for a few years now, can seem very intimidating at first: a minimalist drumset, intricately wired effect pedals, loud amplifiers, loads of small microphones and a drummer in the middle of it all. This album aims to elaborate on this setup and the process of its sound creation. The album consists of 27 musical ideas based on different combinations of instrumen…

*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Petra's Stone" is an obscure gem consisting of eight delicately restrained downtempo pieces. The album is built around field recordings that c o m t e has collected over the last few years in Sweden, Italy and Ireland. Through the subtle editing and manipulation of samples, c o m t e has managed to create a soundscape consisting of repetitive structures that is as enigmatic as it is intimate. These repeating loops and rhythmically arranged fragments are …

*100 copies limited edition* The late Hironari Iwata, best known for his experimental work with "Toukaseibunshi", explored even more uncharted territory under the alias "Haiginsha". This long-lost cassette from 1986 has been resurrected with a meticulous remaster, sourced from one of the few remaining original tapes, courtesy of noise pioneer Toshiji Mikawa. The album weaves a striking tapestry of guitar, melodica, recorder, voice and industrial percussion, each element bending and colliding in …

*30 copies limited edition* The prolific and idyllic Kagami Smile comes to Torn Light with a tape of tape hissed electronic music. Wonderful corridors of sound, the walls are covered in tapestries. Low low lights. Wooden doors and a light draft. Everything is safe.

2024 stock Outstanding performance by the Austrian saxophonist Hans Koller; this is a very uncommon and memorable session from the 1960s. Koller plays tenor in a quartet that also features Fritz Pauer on piano; the track was initially recorded for a sound library session, but it is exemplary 60s contemporary jazz. In a style that appears to really challenge Koller during his solos, maximizing his remarkable tone and phrasing without descending into any kind of overdone experimentalism, most of t…

Big-band no-wave from a stack of local instrumentalists as LA performance artist Went sings her lyrics over the top. Noisy, raucous and free!

*300 copies limited edition* Rian Treanor keeps knocking new doors of possibility with his new label Electronic Music Club and its initial focus on Rotherham Sight & Sound, participants of a community-based initiative in their shared post-industrial home town Rotherham. Utilising software synths designed by Rian and his dad Mark Fell, the trio twist out vortices of shearing, asymmetric anarchitecture, rudely resembling the sort of hyper-contemporary styles alluded to in Rian’s solo works, but in…

*2024 stock* "Tony has made a great album, it sounds like a lost album from the european spiritual jazz scene of the 1970s. A nice balance of themes with spirited playing. Great analogue recording too!" - Nat Birchall, Gondwana Records "Fresh new UK jazz talent who can only be destined for great things! This album can only be a future classic." - Jazzman Gerald, Jazzman Records

Tip! What you see before you, “iffy” cover and all is a solo project from noise-rock pioneer and The Dead C veteran Bruce Russell. Recorded on a mobile phone in the southern summer of 2023-24. This collection of live performances, sound collages, and solo improvisations have been pressed into a black slab with an “unfinished” cover. Bruce Russell, “Mr.Noisy”, the man that’s been “giving rock'n'roll a prison haircut since 1984” is letting us in, providing an “open-house” into the sonic alchemy of…

*300 copies limited edition* Man Rei’s music traces plaintive states, haunted by hazy memories and heavy musings held in suspension. With its resonant loops, dazed iterations and eternal returns, ‘Thread’ weaves a gorgeously blurred portrait of restlessness, desire and longing. The album grew around loungey ballad 'Call', first heard on last year’s ‘The Blue Hour’ compilation and serving as this collection’s tender heart. The gauzy vocals and low-lit instrumentation of ‘Call’ diffuse across ‘Thr…

Inspired by a life long obsession of dub, synth, industrial and different kinds of minimalism, "Extended Player" 12"EP by The Idealist is a tribute to these inspirations aswell as an attempt to move forward or elsewhere. This is experimental techno and electronic music from an artist that is freely moving between drone and noise to this. Party music for professionals.

Gnonnas Pedro’s “Mo Ngbadun Re” - a song written to pay tribute to Nigerian and Beninese musicians - would change the trajectory of Analog Africa, forever. And while the Nigerian artists were more or less familiar to Samy (the label founder), when Gnonnas began singing about ‘Picoby’, ‘Renova’, ‘Annasoua Jazz’, ‘Super Borgou’, ‘Super Star’, ‘El Rego’, ‘Black Santiago’ and other bands from Benin that he’d never heard of, he was driven to find out more. The conclusion of this musical experience wa…

"[..] With Rebecca Bruton’s piece, the melody/ harmony is transmuted into something psychedelic by manifesting its essential indivisibility from the shifting textures of the music as a whole. There’s often an ephemeral virtuosity to this music, an intricate (sometimes opaque, sometimes disorientingly transparent), florid weave of sound. But this virtuosity doesn’t assert dramatic effects; there are gestures here, but they’re the movements of sounding bodies, not the quasi-meaningful gesticulatio…

Sun & Rain is a fully collaborative quartet that thus far has practiced a painstaking process of co-composing music together. Because of this extreme sense of collaboration and only working on the music when all four members were physically together, the album Waterfall took six years to compose. Beginning in 2014 the band gathered at Laplante’s residence in Vermont for semi-annual rehearsal retreats. These were not particularly relaxing retreats, as the band held themselves to a rigorous work e…

On "Not Around But Through", Portland-based experimental musician and tape wizard Amulets
 navigates the process of acceptance and the tumultuous journey of looking within. Over the course of 8 tracks he explores the emotional path of moving through rather than circumventing, in the process soundtracking a purposeful desire to face trauma and vulnerability. Infusing his trademark ambient soundscapes with ambitious blends of post-hardcore, emo, and metal, "Not Around But Through" connects the dot…

Unreleased archival recordings from 1980-84. A small chunk of early 80's Swedish DIY underground history from the legendary but rarely heard Fysisk Fostran. Based in the small town of Stenungsund north of Gothenburg and roughly active between 1980 and 1984, the group released a few cassettes as well as a fabled 7" that due to mysterious complications only exist as a testpressing in 4 copies. Fysisk Fostran were inspired by the early UK industrial sound as well as post-punk and synth music, this …

Ava Mendoza has never made an album quite as personal as her second solo full-length, The Circular Train. Through her decades of collaborations with Nels Cline, Carla Bozulich, William Parker, Fred Frith, Matana Roberts, and Mick Barr—plus years leading her power trio Unnatural Ways and playing in Bill Orcutt’s quartet—the guitarist’s name has become synonymous with virtuoso technique, raw passion, and visceral resonance, a player pushing the edges of the guitar’s possibilities. Along the way, f…

Edition of 200 copies.  Slithering out the fertile depths of Olympia, Washington circa 1985, Industrial Sponge “released” a lone 90 minute cassette onto the unsuspecting public. And by “released” we mean they would gift wrap the tape and leave it around Olympia and nearby Aberdeen at bus stops, on the sidewalk or in coffee shops, waiting for their bizarre manifestations to be discovered by whoever was in the mood for a mysterious free present. Industrial Sponge was spearheaded by “Fearless” Fran…
