The Smegma Christmas Album
Bomb! * Edition of 200. Hand-made covers (each one is unique), comes with a postcard. * At the end of October 1973 Ricky Reets Hubba-Hubba Band was disbanded. It had been decided that what was needed was “a band without Musicians” and many wild experimental jam sessions took place. Finally on November 23 a particularly inspired jam was named “Cat Cheese” and the band SMEGMA was born. Although we had only been playing music together (or at all) for a few months, we decided to record a full lengt…

Drekka x [Hydzik + Trecka]
*50 copies limited edition* 3-way collaboration featuring Mkl Anderson, Evan Hydzik and Mark Trecka. The two lengthy recordIngs that make up this release have a dreamlike looseness while also maintaining the psychic precision of practiced ritual. Recorded over 2 nights in May 2015, the first inside a concrete box and the second in front of an audience at the Hideout. No computers, no overdubs, no file trading. Liminal, textured, organic, folk industrial music.
O Most Noble Greenness
"O Most Noble Greenness is a collaboration across centuries between Du.0 and Hildegard von Bingen, a German abbess and composer from 1100 A.D. Though separated from the composer by the remove of time, language, geography, and instrumentation, we nevertheless felt Hildegard’s presence as a living, breathing source of inspiration. Channeling Hildegard’s visceral embodiment of natural and mystical imagery, we deconstruct her song "Item de Virginibus" to uncover new sonorities and form. Throughout t…
Slapstick In The Birdroom
*50 copies limited edition* "This release has been in the works for a while and we're beyond thrilled to finally bring it to you. Pet Peeves seamlessly blends angular, precision musicianship with sheer blown-out chaos without sounding disjointed or contrived. High-energy guitar, drum and horn music with an absurdist performative edge. The sound of a tornado hitting a Guitar Center." - Orb Tapes
Separate In Space
*100 copies limited edition* Dauw welcomes back the multidisciplinary artist Zander Raymond to the label with a reissue of his debut album ‘separate in space’. Previously only available on USB/digital, it's now presented in a remastered version for cassette tape alongside a risograph interpretation of the initial artwork.
“I’m listening to the album right now. Are you? If so, you’re likely awash in the humble glow of these tracks, which seem to wonder and wander in equal measure. Yet there are a…

Swan In The Past
"Kindling is super excited to share our latest edition created by Arek Gulbenkoglu, who we think has produced some of the most consistently interesting sound works for fixed media in Australia over the last decade or more. Creating wilfully obtuse or even opaque works which are sonically thought-provoking and perceptually pleasurable by equal measure. While Arek has released a string of fantastic works on respected labels such as Penultimate Press, Regional Bears, Index Clean, Careful Catalog, a…
Alfredo
Mr. Bongo proudly presenting our reissue of a bona fide Latin classic from 1979 by the Cuban-born violinist Alfredo De La Fe. Based in New York and Colombia, Alfredo worked with some of the greats in Latin music including Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon and Roberto Roena, alongside disco and soul icons like Sylvester and Aquarian Dream.

Includes liner notes by original Sonic Youth drummer Richard Edson, Glenn Branca and Byron Coley.
Realistic IX
Realistic IX, the third full-length by the duo of Michael Jones and Turk Dietrich aka Belong, is both an expansion and excavation of their signature acid-washed songcraft. Bleached guitars, metronomic drums, and buried voices rev, swirl, and seethe across shifting gradients of haze and hypnosis, alternately driving and diffuse. Melodies surge closer to the surface, flexing their form before resubmerging into quickening currents of feedback. Elsewhere the elements dissipate into a dusk of murk an…
Readings By Jack Kerouac On The Beat Generation
In his third and final album, recorded ahead of the publication of his novel, Doctor Sax, Jack Kerouac uses his voice as an instrument, weaving his words inside of patterns and percussive accents the way a horn player solos over the changes of a well-known standard. The set is presented with an immense focus and energy to keep the listener engaged for a full 40 minutes. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
