New Arrivals

On The Watchers, eight Todmorden‑based artists summon a new, collectively woven score for Richard Foster’s 1969 cult short, amplifying its semi‑rural folk horror, UFO lore and moorland unease into a creaking, psychic soundscape.

On Reverse Acceleration of Dragons, Radx (X.Y.R. & Vlad Dobrovolski) drift through retro‑synth mirages and sci‑fi haze, blending Cascone‑esque electronica and “living machine” dragons into a soft‑focus, humid strand of 12th Isle ambient.

On Declension, Sissy Spacek’s core duo John Wiese and Ch. Mumma condense their most feral impulses into two mid‑2024 blowouts, erecting sheer walls of cascading electronics and scorched‑throat vocals that feel like being dropped into a collapsing star.

On Live Non-Plus Ultra, Strain of Laws—the duo of Aaron Hemphill and John Wiese—drag voice and electronics through a pressure system of sub‑bass, hiss and mumbled fragments, documenting their 2025 LA set as a single, slowly suffocating industrial hallucination.

On Third Night Sparks, Akio Jeimus, Risa Takeda and T. Mikawa bottle a one‑off Bar Isshee trio into a crackling nocturne of electronics and synths, where noise iconoclasm and poised, in‑the‑moment listening fuse into a single live current.

On Morte Lilás, Força Maior (Pedro Alves Sousa & Pedro Tavares) turn a decaying 400‑year‑old farm into an instrument, spinning sax‑sourced, electronics‑blurred meditations that move like slow weather between trance and lucid, lilac‑tinted reverie.

The charming, thoughtfoul Oracle conveys the familiarity and empathy of partners who have worked together for years – light touch, intricacy and sensitivity pervade the session. Oracle wins you over with its warmth and melodicism.

The trio-debut of pianist, composer and 2025 MacArthur Fellow Craig Taborn with Tomeka Reid and Ches Smith has been eagerly awaited. In its review of the group’s live show from Fall 2025 the German daily Hamburger Abendblatt found nothing put praise for their performance, calling it “unpredictable, exhilarating”. The trio’s approach on Dream Archives is full of complexities, and as the title suggests, a wide musical spectrum is covered as multitudes of idioms seem to be pulled from history and r…

“These performances, by Heinz Holliger and Marie-Lise Schüpbach, are simply astonishing in their fluency,” wrote UK magazine Gramophone of Holliger’s album Zwiegespräche, and the description applies with equal pertinence to con slancio, with its inspired and inspiring play of energies. The title piece, which opens the programme here, was written by the Swiss composer and nonpareil oboist as a tribute to musical partner Schüpbach: “Since I began playing in duo with Marie-Lise, I’ve been fascinate…

With Convergence, his second solo album, Swedish-born bassist Björn Meyer further develops music on the blueprint established with his recording Provenance (2017), making use of the technical potential of the bass guitar to establish striking sonorities and grained textures while also being acutely aware of the acoustic space in which his sounds emerge. In its review of Björn’s previous solo statement, London Jazz News found the bassist demonstrating “that melodic high-jinks and emotional intens…

Constellation Tatsu welcomes back Bifuu_ZONE, which means "a zone of gentle breeze" for a record that resists drama, instead favouring small tonal events that take you to a place you never knew existed but somehow feels familiar. Notes linger, erode and soften as stillness becomes the primary pull, sound unfolding patiently. The presence of the saxophone adds a human warmth as breath brushes against restrained electronic forms. Rather than inviting escape, the album grounds you in a park on a su…

*50 copies limited edition* fft_Materialism is a new series curated by Riforma. The projects and subjects involved are invited to reflect on their use of the Fourier Transform algorithms. Can a mathematical formula be considered a living being? What are the relationships between non-human and human entities? Is it possible to expand human narratives understanding the intra-actions within the digital realm? These and other questions are part of an investigation which dresses the shapes of experim…

Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer embraces the search for quiet miracles on first full-length LP Translations.

Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk-funk – is the debut album by Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer and DJ Daniel Villarreal.

Zuzax is a release from Damaged Bug, the long-running solo project of John Dwyer (Osees), built from dozens of previously unfinished songs written across several years. Left aside as other projects took over, these tracks initially felt too scattered to form a coherent whole. Revisited with fresh perspective, they reveal a shared emotional thread. The record leans into contradiction: abstract but catchy, fried yet sweet, light on its feet while carrying a reflective weight. Dwyer frames the albu…

Unlike much of Florian Hecker's recent work, such as 2021's 'Synopsis Seriation' or 'Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera', his acclaimed PAN-released collaboration with Mark Leckey, there's no single overarching narrative that binds 'Natural Selection'. Hecker describes the sprawling, nine-track album as a "constellation of pieces originating from related investigations", and the clue's in the title. Ranging from under a minute to over half an hour, these works have been grouped together because t…

*125 copies limited edition* After 8 years since their last release, Becoming Forest is the fifth full-length record by Amuleto. It comes from an encounter between the group’s core duo, Francesco Dillon and Riccardo Wanke, and multi-instrumentalist performer and composer Stefano Pilia (Mike Watt, Rokia Traoré, 3/4HadBeenElminated, Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Zaire). This meeting — developed from long-term parallel collaborations and converging musical paths — produced a set of tracks that combin…

A new year, some fresh Kashual Plastik. Absolute organic. The campfire is burning, FM radio in the air, with not so frequent frequencies. Gently waiting for the flood that brings no water. An accordion weeps, an organ cries, sweet acoustic guitar chords, a dancing piano, a shy voice, singing intimate stories. Sacred white noise in the off. Bits of found sounds in the accounts. Reverbs reversing. All in happiness, so full of melancholy. Dream music for open-eyed musers. Right from the Scandinavia…

Between innocence and anger, a record of witness. Pharoah Chromium is the project of German-Palestinian musician and sonic performer Ghazi Barakat. With Chronicles from the Arab Cold War Pharoah Chromium continues his long-standing engagement with the Palestinian cause, following Gaza (LP, self-released 2015) and Jean Genet à Chatila (7”, self-released 2018). In the summer of 2023, new material began to take shape from a session with flutes, EWI (an analogue synth played like a wind instrument)…

*100 copies limited edition* Renowned Mexican producer Yamil Rezc has made his highly anticipated return as Las Trompas de Falopium, and after giving listeners a first glimpse of what he's been working on last month, today he releases his new album "Talisman," his first original album since 2017's "Across the Sky." Rooted in the surreal musical realm of psychedelia, "Talisman" marks Rezc's triumphant return to Las Trompas de Falopium after a four-year hiatus from the project.  The seductive coll…

*300 copies limited edition* Mexico City trio Mengers have been threatening to detonate for years. Across their first two albums—Golly’s simulated-chaos ruminations and i/O’s desolate drift—they turned existential dread into a combustible punk language: jagged guitars, convulsing rhythms, lyrics like condensed panic attacks. With Flavio, their third studio album and most adventurous yet, they finally make good on that threat. It’s a record that doesn’t just expand their sound—it completely reima…

Rant, existing since 2003, explores the possibilities of duo playing to the extreme and has developed a very unique musical identity. The interlocked play of Merle Bennett on drums and Torsten Papenheim on guitar creates an exciting balance between improvisation and composition, precision and playfulness, groove and looseness, sound and song. On "apolonien" rant has decided to follow a strictly minimalist approach both sonically and structurally. Two organically evolved compositions that take th…

Wewantsounds is delighted to release Ayam El Disco, a new selection of Egyptian 1980s disco and boogie cassette tracks curated by Egyptian DJ Disco Arabesquo, following his highly acclaimed Sharayet El Disco. Most tracks make their vinyl debut in this set. A journey through the funky sounds of 1980s Egypt, Ayam El Disco ("Disco Days") features Ammar El Sherei, Al Massrieen, and other underground artists from Cairo's vibrant cassette culture.

Reissued on vinyl for the first time the sole album from this Westland folk trio, recorded in 1972 at the Folk Heritage Studio. An esoteric acid-pop masterpiece with irresistible and obscure melodies, a must have for all the British folk revival fans.

*2026 repress* In February 2026, Jan Jelinek's seminal album "Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records" turns 25. An anniversary repress with two bonus tracks (B-sides from the "Tendency" EP, 2000). What the press said about "Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records": “Don’t be misled by the title, though for there isn’t a finger-snapping rhythm c bebop lead anywhere on the album. Instead, Jelinek chooses to explore the visual effect moiré - two shifting patterns creating an implied third dimension - in the audio realm.” (Al…

On Swirl, Here capture the moment Czech guitar music fell headlong for shoegaze: a 1993 fever‑dream of FX‑smeared riffs and bruised melodicism, now finally given the widescreen vinyl and deep‑dive context it always implied.

On Notes from the Air, Ciro Vitiello turns the seagull into a trembling patron saint of dizziness and desire, drifting between orchestral swells, shoegaze haze and post‑rock afterimages in songs that hover on the edge of meaning and never quite touch down.

Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart are a trio who utilize string instruments, voices, and manual tape effect processing to craft compositions from alternately tranquil and disquieting improvised music. The three musicians are individually rooted in deep sound exploration, multi-disciplinary composition, and all manner of cross-genre collaboration. The musical ground covered by their solo practices is correspondingly expansive, and their individual recording and performance credits read…

Tip! Alex Zhang Hungtai stands in stillness on 'Dras', but it's the kind of stillness that contains entire ranges of possibility. Recorded in 2019 inside Montreal's Saint Joseph Oratory (right before a piano demolition, no less), these nine pieces sat dormant on his hard drive through pandemic years until something finally clicked. What emerges now feels like watching someone trace the contours of their own interior landscape, each melodic line a careful negotiation with the unconscious. This is…

*2026 stock* Recording Kang Taehwan’s music, his underground practice room has been the place where he has spent the most time with his saxophone and remains his most familiar space. The concrete and brick finishes, high ceiling, and asymmetrical structure in all directions create a unique reverberation. Because the shape of the room is irregular, the acoustic balance shifts constantly from side to side and front to back depending on the pitch. Although Kang’s performance is on a single instrume…

Taivaskanava by Juho Toivonen. Originally released as a cassette on Grapefruit Records, now getting repressed on cd. Quiet, drifting pieces for late hours, small sounds and open space, carrying the same fragile mood as the original tape. original artwork by Arsi Keva. features spoken words by joshua burkett and plunderphonics rip-off from this kind of punishment. good luck spotting it. “Solo work by this Finnish musician, who also runs the Akti label. Toivonen’s music is simultaneously rural and…

Four Systems (1954) is an early and influential example of Earle Brown’s open-form approach to composition. Written as a graphic score, the work replaces traditional notation with visual elements that suggest relationships of pitch, duration, dynamics, and rhythm rather than prescribing exact sounds. Four Systems may be performed by any number of musicians using any instruments, and its duration is equally open: the piece may last as long as desired, provided the time frame is agreed upon in adv…

*100 copies limited edition* This is a special work by acclaimed composer and musician Adriaan de Roover, who has released records on Dauw, Viernulvier, Pias, and Consouling Sounds. Chansons de trottoir / Stoepliedjes documents his relationship to sampling in the form of a radio play. Originally created as a radio piece for Resonance FM in Manchester, the album is a sonic portrait of a walk through Brussels. It is constructed from two field recordings: one made during a walk from Metro Midi towa…

*100 copies limited edition* Low Tide, Hi Grypus! is the new live-iteration of JC Leisure as JC Leisure Group. Documenting an encounter and a communication between human improvisers and atlantic grey seals. The record presents responsive improvisation as a form of cross-species collaboration. The project began on Porthdinllaen, Wales, where Leisure recorded seal vocalisations from a local colony at low tide. Back in their Liverpool studio, Leisure developed a performance system that translates h…

3LP triple set featuring all the Prescription versions and the newly created AD II artworks by Steven Stapleton. The booklet features all lyrics, extensive liner notes and sheds light on the interesting circumstances of the creation of this Coil release by Gary Ramon who not only instigated the sessions but also provided the haunting location for their recordings. Has been respectfully and expertly remastered by grammy-nominated Jessica Thompson. Artwork by Steven Stapleton design & layout by Ol…

At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping …

Oranj is a 14 track LP, recorded in 2025 between Chicago’s Rax Trax studios and Dock Street Studios in London, Andy Baxter taking on drums, keys, bass guitar with long time collaborator Francesca Uberti joining on Rhodes piano for four tracks. Featuring mix engineering from Hackney Recording Studio’s Sean Woodlock (4 songs) and by Lilac Lab’s Shawn Clendening in Chicago (10 songs). Partly an ode to the inventors of analog recording equipment and electric instruments in the middle of the 20th Cen…

Recorded in high summers and brutal winters in 2022 and 2023, Nightingale Floor’s debut album Five Stagings takes the listener through a quintet of spontaneously conjured and patiently crafted pieces for a quartet of musicians scattered across North-West England. Manchester-based poet Lauren McLean provides voice and words, joined by cellist Josh Horsley of Preston duo Powders, Benjamin D. Duvall of Liverpool four-piece Ex-Easter Island Head on sound collages, strings and trombone, with Tombed V…

Bayeté Umbra Zindiko’s Seeking Other Beauty is a visionary statement from keyboardist and composer Bayeté, also known as Todd Cochran, newly available in a definitive all‑analog reissue that brings its futuristic spiritual jazz into sharp contemporary focus. Recorded in 1973 for Prestige, Seeking Other Beauty channels the electricity of early‑70s Miles Davis while drawing on the cosmic funk of Parliament‑Funkadelic and the astral explorations of Lonnie Liston Smith—only with a fuzzed‑out clavine…

There’s a rich resonance to the music of Fodé Lassana Diabaté, whose music has travelled with him from his griot family in West Africa to the North American coast of Unama'kik (Cape Breton). Bala, his first album of purely balafón music, brings together traditional pieces with roots in the Mande empire, original compositions inspired by his time in Unama’kik, and tributes to friends and family members. Diabaté has developed a unique practice on the balafón—a traditional melodic percussion instru…
