The Notional Pastures Of Imaginary Softwoods
Time bends for Imaginary Softwoods, the solo guise of producer, songwriter, and synthesist John Elliott. Though he’s working on new recordings daily, Elliott’s process for the construction of his albums moves at a much different interval, stretching out over months of considerate listening, revision, and waiting patiently for the right combinations and clashes of elemental forces to materialise on their own. The Notional Pastures of Imaginary Softwoods continues Elliott’s practice of zeroing in …

AKP
Tip! *200 copies imited edition. 2023 stock. In process of stocking* Try to imagine an astonishing reversal of the traditional widespread subservience of sound to story-telling: instead of sound effects providing realism to a narrative, the open shell of an apparent narrative becoming sound work… or perhaps even a new form of weird experimental music that only requires a willingness to listen to the actual sonic matter itself, precisely when it appears to be something else.

The African OmniDevelopment Space Complex (Book)
Bassist Ubadah McConner recounts the evolution and history of this home based cultural, educational, and music center in Pontiac, Michigan that embraced the revolutionary spirit of the 60s and 70s Black artistic renaissance through all night sessions of fire music, mutual support and conversation.

Gee Vaucher: Beyond Punk, Feminism and the Avant-Garde (Book)
As one of the people who defined punk's protest art in the 1970s and 1980s, Gee Vaucher (b. 1945) deserves to be much better-known. She produced confrontational album covers for the legendary anarchist band Crass and later went on to do the same for Northern indie legends the Charlatans, among others. As well as offering an overview of Vaucher’s career, the book also offers a whistle-stop tour through later 20th century counterculture. We hear about the Fluxus movement; COUM Transmissions (the …
The Heat Of The Hole / Temporary & Successive Stages
*In process of stocking* While “no description necessary” is the most fitting description for anything with the name Kakerlak on it, I am sensitive to the fact that there may be a new generation of harsh noise enthusiast emerging who have not been properly exposed, due to his relative elusiveness in recent years. Kakerlak is one of the elite HN projects active since the mid 2000s, and a defining artist of the genre. His sound wields the most powerful elements of mid 90’s Americanoise as broad br…
Final Judgment
Tip! *In process of stocking* Wyatt Howland is not only a force of noise, he is an institution. For nearly two decades, he has been producing some of the most potent and ugly industrial harsh noise around as Skin Graft, both on tape and live in the flesh. He has also inspired scores of noise soldiers through his fully committed and unpretentious attitude, never seeking limelight or chasing clout, but having earned his crown by putting in the work and keeping it real.
“Final Judgment,” originally…
Sacred Violence Noise
*In process of stocking* Active in the top tier of the noise underground for over 15 years since his teens under numerous aliases, Vill Van Gorder changed the landscape of modern American harsh noise in 2017 by summoning the avatar Worth and releasing the "Blinder" LP - a pure harsh noise record with a singular sound and aesthetic that re-introduced Van Gorder to the then floundering scene as an artist who creates works of totality, challenging established tropes of what entities like ritual, ev…
Compass Rises
Tip! When artsts self-releases their own recordings, they do so in the hopes that a hit might develop, or even better, a sphere of influence might form. In a lot of cases these records provide a stamp of existence and intent – a sonic business card showing what musicians were made of. Compass Rises (1973), the privately pressed sole LP by Oneonta, New York’s Compass, is both a sampling of versatility and a declaration of straight-ahead purpose.
Regularly active in upstate New York between 1969 …
