Hometown Girl
Groggy, engrossing new work from Ulla under their newly minted U.e. tag, riffing to the sublime on a set of (mostly) acoustic reveries that tap into the kind of smokey vapours favoured by the likes of Vincent Gallo, Voice Actor, Jonnine. Oh aye, it’s a special one.

Uhlmann Johnson Wilkes
'Uhlmann Johnson Wilkes' is the debut album from Gregory Uhlmann (SML, Anna Butterss, Duffy x Uhlmann, Perfume Genius), Josh Johnson (SML, Jeff Parker ETA IVtet & New Breed, Meshell Ndegeocello, Anna Butterss, Leon Bridges), and Sam Wilkes (Sam Gendel, Louis Cole, Chaka Khan). The three improviser/arranger/producers’ impressive individual credits encompass such a wide stylistic pendulum swing that a collection of group music from the trio could mine any number of musical territories with masterf…
3 × hullo, hullo
The first few minutes of ‘3 × hullo, hullo’ sound like a little mole creeping up through the soil. The little thing hoes and scoops up some sand, building a small pile of dirt. But then, anger... because this drives them mad—those who want their lawns clean and spotless. A clean lawn: a desire we inherited from the Brits. Dumped into our collective consciousness by humorless Victorians who enjoyed having their black pudding on the lawn. An uninspired impression from their misreading of Italian p…
Oh! Pebbles / 아 ! 조약돌
Tom Jacques and Eunsil Noh met recently on Tom’s first trip to South Korea. Their meeting was marked by instant musical chemistry and camaraderie. Their duo project, Oh ! Pebbles, consists of their complimentary singular practices in musical improvisation. Their sound centers on fusing minimalistic noise coming from mundane objects triggered by vibrating mini-motors and the re-actualisation of the storied history of voice art in the Pansori tradition. This combination, often supported by harmoni…

......t
Sonically, the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH distort the club context they work from by rendering functionality with an exceptionally refined and idiosyncratic palette. As logophiles, they contort the little descriptive context they afford audiences by imploding language into splintered and barely comprehensible character sequences. The impression is that each is the result of mutual process-driven experiments. This is all true of '......t', their new album and debut recording for Northern Electronics…
Maps
Maps is a unique collaboration between British artist Sonic Boom, and Swiss musicians Sinner DC. Originally created in 2013 for live performances at the Festival La Bâtie in Switzerland, Maps combines music and visuals to create an immersive experience, inspired by Borges' reflection on the limits of representation. Maps challenges the boundaries between art and reality, inviting you to explore a world where music and visuals converge in an expansive, surreal landscape. Dutch artist Space Is Gre…
Future Days
** 2025 repress. Comes in embossed sleeve with printed inner sleeve, pressed on heavyweight vinyl. Includes code for free mp3 download of this album** An uneasy truce had been thrashed out by the warring factions of Can by the time they came to record 'Future Days' in 1972, yet it is the underlying musical tension that makes this album such a thrilling part of their cannon... With Damo Suzuki's ethereal vocals continuously juxtaposed by Michael Karoli's fraught guitars and Holger Czulkay's invas…
Weft
Blue Lake’s new offering ‘Weft’ sees its creator Jason Dungan unearth new musical terrain with a mini-album which presents the projects evolution. Finding inspiration in the craft of weaving and embracing a collective spirit as a band leader, all while readying a new studio album expected later in 2025. The earthy title track ‘Weft’ emerges with a sense of ease and familiarity as looping guitar riffs in open tunings bed in around a warm cello pulse that provides the essential heartbeat. These in…

Perspectives on Sylvano Bussotti
The music of Sylvano Bussotti seems to achieve the squaring of the circle: in many ways radical, avant-garde, and innovative, it manifests, at the same time, an idea of beauty, with a strong sensual as well as personal side, not easily reconciled with the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. This volume explores the work of the Italian composer from a multi-perspective and polyvalent approach, addressing cultural questions of identity and authorship, issues of gender and non-normative sexu…
Outside
Groupe Derhane - Imidrane : Issouf, known as Issouf Derhane, was born in the peaceful village of Tidene almost a hundred kilometers northeast of Agadez. From a young age, Issouf was called by the desert winds, which carried him to Libya, a country where he grew up, forged by the trials and unique experiences of life. There, he witnessed the tumult of the civil war, an experience that sharpened his resolve and his understanding of peace. In Libya, he discovered the guitar, an instrument which qui…

1973/1975
I met drummer Gary Torok in June ’74. We got together and jammed on Uriah Heep and Santana. Me, him, and his younger brother Peter on bass played my high school in January ’75. “Ready Eddie” is truly about Stenson Eddie Flowers coz he “loves that Southern bop.” The chords are “Brown Sugar” (’71) and Ten Years After’s “Choo Choo Mama” (’72). Let’s say “Ready Eddie” is Nixon-era rock. I met fanzine writer Scott Duhamel August ’74, so I musta said, “Have your poems set to my music.” Wrote “Juvenile…
Tentatively Terminal 1977-1978
In the fall of 1972 my brother Daryl Frazier [a/k/a Billy Nightshade] started school at Bemidji State College in northern Minnesota. I was 11 years old and Daryl was 18. Every weekend he would come home and bring me amazing used records of rock and roll bands. His good friend Gary Zerott from BSC knew music inside out, and turned Daryl on to all kinds of brilliant artists! Kinks, Bowie, Alice Cooper, Stooges, MC5, Patti Smith, Velvet Underground, Slade, Deep Purple...the heavier the better. Back…
