Worm's Meat
Body Tenant’s debut Worm’s Meat offers an unflinching examination of bodily horror and existential erosion, its sound design both suffocating and eerily beautiful. Each track submerges the listener in layers of distortion and desolation, exploring the fragility of the human shell amidst industrial ruin. This release aligns with Phage Tapes’ commitment to artistry over profit: all proceeds are reinvested into releasing more challenging, vital music.

Variations On A Theme

Variations on a Theme is comprised of three long songs employing a series of rhythmic chants whose cadence-like textural drive conveys flight. The album's numerous lyrics serve as symbolist vehicles to a state outside the field of time and space.
Variations on a Theme is a series of vibrations and flow. The opening track,"On T…

Engineered by Billy Anderson and produced by the band, Conference Of The Birds progresses beyond their debut, …
A Tender Exile
"A Tender Exile" is the result of a deeply personal journey—one shaped by displacement, nostalgia, and the search for belonging. Inspired by "How To Live Together", a book compiling Roland Barthes’ notes for his lecture of the same name, Federico Gargaglione explores four key concepts: Akedia, Xeniteia, Anachoresis, and Thlipsis. These ideas became a framework for understanding his own experiences, ultimately shaping the foundation of this book.
As part of this journey, he traveled to Mount Etna…
Young Predictions
"Young Predictions" discloses the notes of Cypriot painter Polys Peslikas, written between 2018 and 2025. These fragments—gathered in orbit around paintings made over the same period—reflect openly on the canon of painting both as a revered structure and an unruly and obscenely private, testimonial act. The book invites poet and writer Penelope Ioannou into an exchange with the material, her own notes slipping between Peslikas’ as a result of being granted entry into his canvases. Text and paint…
Lofoten
Tip! There are imagined landscapes we all carry within us—dreamed, half-remembered, or just beyond reach. Lofoten, the new album by Cate Francesca Brooks on Clay Pipe Music, is a musical reflection on one such place. Located above the Arctic Circle, Norway's Lofoten Islands are known for their dramatic peaks, open seascapes, and distinctive red fishing cabins dotting the shoreline. Though Brooks has never visited this remote northern region, it became an unexpected source of inspiration. The pro…

Released in tandem with the late artist’s 80th birthday celebrations, the album offers an extraordinary, unvarnished, and plainly poignant insight into one of America’s true poet-songwriters. Capturing Reed in his formative years, this previously unreleased collection of songs—penned by a young Lou Reed, recorded to tape with th…
Of No Fixed Abode
In ‘Of No Fixed Abode,’ Saint Abdullah and Eomac extend their experimentation with genre dissolution to press upon the tensions that exist between culture, place, and migration. This fourth collaborative LP addresses the inherent fluidity of cultural memory, accepting our inability to remain fixed in the past, and explores how best to carry its spirit forward into an ambiguous future. Through extensive research into 50 years of Persian pop, they meticulously reinterpret the legacies of artists l…
Borez
"Borez" is a collaborative EP released on The Trilogy Tapes, uniting Chicago-based hardware experimentalist Beau Wanzer with UK duo Rezzett. The result is a five-track record of raw, lo-fi sonic experimentation that straddles the boundaries between leftfield techno, gnarled bass music, 2-step, juke, and fractured rave. The EP oscillates between abrasive textures and stuttering rhythms, evoking a sense of restless and twisted club energy.
MGQ Live Im King Georg, Köln
As the title of the album suggests, the new album by spiritual jazz legend Muriel Grossmann, MGQ live im King Georg, Köln, is a live recording of a concert at King Georg Jazz Club in Cologne. Recorded on November 11, 2022, the symbolic start of the Cologne carnival season, the album will be released three years later, at the end of the carnival season on Ash Wednesday, March 5. 2025. If by chance a concert in Cologne takes place on the November 11, it's only logical to stick to the numbers. Muri…
Once Was Ours Forever
Netherlands-based artist Jonny Nash returns to Melody As Truth with his new solo album, ‘Once Was Ours Forever.’ Building on 2023’s ‘Point Of Entry,’ this collection of eleven compositions draws us further into Nash’s immersive, slowly expanding world, effortlessly connecting the dots somewhere between folk, ambient jazz and dreampop. While ‘Point Of Entry’ was characterised by it’s laid-back, daytime ambience, ‘Once Was Ours Forever’ arrives wrapped in shades of dusk and hazy light, unfolding l…

Remarks On Process
Tip! Remarks on Process was recorded in May 2024 at Westbahnstudios Vienna. The project was a week-long performance workshop led by Mark Fell with members of the Austrian ensemble Studio Dan. Throughout the week, procedural systems were developed to explore group behaveiours and emergent musical aesthetics. This led to a performance on the evening of the final day which is excluded here. Each day was recorded in its entirety and this cassette contains edited excerpts from the sessions in chronol…
Vermilion Hours
"Scattered notes seem to stretch time, their repetition and countless combinations evoking (or invoking?) the infinite iridescence of light that accompanies dawn—a ritual as inevitable as it is unpredictable. With his Musique pour le lever du jour, composed over two years and completed in 2017, Melaine Dalibert once described his aim as creating "an infinite piece," without beginning or end. Subtle, intangible, both complex and minimal, the variations forming this hour-long composition—dedicated…

Youth Looks So Good On You
“When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, fluorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my floral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore. Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing."
There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the …
