Kestrel
2024 stock. Black Vinyl edition. Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amongst a small number of cult fans. G…

Dread Harvest
Form Hunter returns with their first full-length album since 2021's "Violent Adaptation" (Troniks / Helicopter). Dread Harvest refines their signature blend of in-the-red tape abuse, violent scrap metal, saturated loops, and high-energy noise. Crafted from raw and physical recording sessions in a decaying barn, these four tracks channel the euphoric chaos of Form Hunter's live assaults, leaving behind a crater of crumpled magnetic tape, iron filings, rusty nails, wood, rocks, and dirt. From unco…

Doppelmoppel
*200 copies limited edition* The story of this record starts in 2011 on Anna Clementi’s balcony in Rome.

Dew Point Harmonics
Balmat began our journey in 2021 with the release of Luke Sanger’s Languid Gongue. Now, three years later, we turn an important corner as the Norfolk musician rejoins us with Dew Point Harmonics, the first repeat appearance on the label. Sanger’s new album feels like a natural extension of his inaugural record for Balmat: It’s a bewitching collection of esoteric synth sketches that slips unpredictably between consonant repetition, poignant melodies, and gnarled bursts of noise that catch in the …

Forme
*200 copies limited edition* "Maurizio Bianchi, referred to as the father of Italian electronic music, rarely looks backward. When asked where to start exploring his extensive discography, he recommends an album from his early period in the 1980s and whatever release is his latest. This relentless push for novelty has been at the core of his experimentalism for almost five decades. Despite his long career, he remains in the vanguard. Bianchi’s early work is a departure from traditional musical f…

Made Out Of Sound
*2024 repress! LP version* "Sadly, many will hear Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt's latest LP, Made Out of Sound, as 'not-jazz,' though it would be more aptly described as 'not-not-jazz.' In a better world, it would warrant above-the-fold reviews in Downbeat, or an appearance on David Sanborn's late-night show (if someone would only give it back to him). More likely, we can hope for a haiku review on Byron Coley's Twitter timeline to sufficiently connect the various improvised terrains trodden by th…
