Upcoming releases
For Dancing in Quiet Light
Luke Schneider’s new EP 'For Dancing in Quiet Light' finds the pedal steel guitarist further refining his singular ambient vocabulary—gentle, resonant, and quietly radiant. Following two releases on Third Man, this Leaving Records debut is inspired by the intersection of breath and movement, drawing influence from his rural Tennessee surroundings and Lou Reed’s little-known tai chi soundtrack Hudson River Wind Meditations. These compositions offer a delicate but emotionally resonant companion fo…
Gaister
The record captures the embodiment of an encounter, one moment of the trio’s ongoing relationship as artists who communicate with each other through sound, voice and music. After orbiting in the same circles at each other's shows around 2016 in London, Sey and Salvadori eventually crossed paths. In 2017 Sey joined Salvadori’s artistic collective Tutto Questo Sentire on a residency in Capalbio, the southernmost part of Tuscany, Italy, and started working together. Down the line the pair ended up …
Sasurai : access memory of Daido Moriyama
A groundbreaking collaboration between two Japanese cultural giants: Seiichi Yamamoto — a pioneering figure in Japan's avant-pop scene and former member of Boredoms, Omoide Hatoba etc — and legendary photographer Daido Moriyama.
Inspired by Moriyama’s iconic photographic style, Yamamoto has composed a sonic tribute — a soundtrack, or perhaps a love letter — to Moriyama’s raw, evocative imagery. The result is an unparalleled work of art: progressive, genre-defying, and emotionally expansive. From…

Hyperrealist Music, 2011-2015
"Hyperrealist Music, 2011-2015" is a selection of late masterpieces by Noah Creshevsky, a proponent of "Hyperreal Music," which opened a new door to cyber-human music.
Forgetting is Violent
Forgetting is Violent, Patrick Shiroishi’s latest solo LP, is his most immediate release yet, expanding the scope not just of his music but of his extramusical considerations. Where his past releases on American Dreams reckoned with racism against Japanese Americans or presented Shiroishi’s saxophone as heard in a parking garage, Forgetting is Violent considers racism as a whole, historical and ongoing, with the urgency it deserves. Here, for the first time, we hear Shiroishi joined by a support…
Songs and Bodies
'Songs and Bodies' is best described as hypnagogic post-rock, an impressionistic blur of dissociated riffs, jazzy rhythms and half-heard voices that casts a beguiling digital silhouette of '90s indie music. The album began as a personal experiment, a question that emerged as Piotr Kurek cast his mind back to the era that birthed bands like Gastr del Sol, Bark Psychosis, Labradford and The Sea and Cake. Curious how this music might sound in today’s cultural climate, he started recording sketches …
The Cosmic Tones Research Trio
Tip! Tip! Tip! On their self-titled second album, The Cosmic Tones Research Trio—featuring Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett—dives deeper into the spiritual soundscapes that first defined their genre-defying approach. Based in Portland, Oregon, the trio crafts a transcendent listening experience rooted in both meditative stillness and rhythmic propulsion.
Blending cello, alto sax, piano, flutes, and an eclectic palette of textures and percussions, the album channels a sacred …
Sasquatch Landslide
Pick a small spot (a point) in front of you (a small knot of wood, a dog down the way). And tightly focus on this spot. And now slowly unfocus your gaze. Widen your gaze. Pan out without moving your eyes. Take it all in.
Inedit
In the verdant countryside of Seine-et-Marne, within the exposed beams of an 18th-century farmhouse, a collection of unreleased treasures lay dormant for over two decades. Now, Trad Vibe Records presents Inedit, a remarkable testament to the creative freedom and spontaneous brilliance of Cortex, one of France's most influential jazz-funk collectives. This essential reissue illuminates a forgotten chapter in the group's history, revealing the raw genius that would later inspire hip-hop producers …
Broadsides
In 2023, sound artist and composer Weston Olencki toured across the American South. Beginning in their hometown in South Carolina, they snaked a circuitous path from the mountains of West Virginia to the banks of the Mississippi River. As the miles accumulated, so did the initial seeds of new work. Instruments and artifacts they acquired hitched a ride in the backseat, while songs and sounds filled their portable recorder: water in its various states, the familiar insectoid buzz of those summer …
Throwing Shapes
*300 copies limited edition* From the innovative visionaries Méabh McKenna, Ross Chaney, and WRWTFWW mainstay Gareth Quinn Redmond emerges Throwing Shapes—the self-titled debut album of a genre-defying new project set to captivate listeners worldwide. Throwing Shapes is a mesmerising, sonically rich exploration that artfully blends tradition with experimentation.
At the heart of the album lies the evocative timbre of the Irish wire-strung harp, masterfully played and reimagined within modern con…
Safari
WRWTFWW Records is extremely happy to present the official reissue of Safari's self-titled album from 1984. The Japanese jazz-fusion super gem is available now as a limited-edition transparent vinyl LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi.
Extrapolation
“Extrapolation,” the debut solo album by visionary guitarist John McLaughlin, continues to stand as a landmark in the evolution of jazz fusion. Recorded in London before McLaughlin’s legendary collaborations with Miles Davis and the formation of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, this 1969 classic exemplifies a bold new direction for British jazz.
A pioneering force in modern music, McLaughlin brought together an extraordinary group of musicians for “Extrapolation”: John Surman (baritone and soprano saxo…
Mountain In The Clouds
Originally released in 1972, bassist Miroslav Vitouš’s acclaimed album Mountain in the Clouds returns to the spotlight as a remixed, expanded edition of his influential 1970 debut, Infinite Search. Widely celebrated as a seminal document in the birth of jazz-fusion, this recording chronicles the early, creative explosion of a new musical era. With Mountain in the Clouds, Vitouš pushes the limits of jazz bass, blending lyrical improvisation and experimental technique to striking effect. The album…
Whipped Cream & Other Delights
Originally released in 1965, Whipped Cream & Other Delights stands as the landmark fourth studio album from Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. Universally recognized as the group’s most popular and commercially successful record, the album masterfully blends elements of pop, jazz, and Latin-inspired instrumentals, offering an irresistible listening experience that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
Known for its smooth, catchy melodies and vibrant, upbeat arrangements, Whipped Cr…
Tone Float
Reissue of Organisation's Tone Float, originally released in 1970. German rock band, Organisation, is often referred to as the prototype or predecessor of Kraftwerk -- the godfathers of electronic music. In fact, it was the first iteration of Kraftwerk and if the band had managed to overrule its record label, RCA, Tone Float would have been credited as such. But given that the album was to be released only in the United Kingdom, the label opted for the more Anglicized name, "Organisation". Tone …
Pop
*Back in stock! 2025 repress* "Pop, the album that has become widely recognized as the defining moment in which Wolfgang Voigt brought us into a clearing of his deep, psychedelic forest. A landmark release in the GAS odyssey that drew international attention, Pop was originally released in 2000 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux. Pop was heralded by Pitchfork at the time of release as being “an exercise in sonic texture… pure sonic velvet, the layered drone radiating a palpable warmt…
Out Now
We are excited to announce a highly anticipated reissue of Faust’O’s pivotal fourth album, strictly limited and individually numbered to just 500 units in a collector’s digipack version.
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 …
