Upcoming releases
Ultimate Spinach
Considered among the all-time classic psychedelic recordings, the Ultimate Spinach ’68 self titled debut is unearthed in its unfathomably rare mono form! The unique blend of psych, jazz, rock, Gregorian vocals and Baroque instrumentation sets Ultimate Spinach apart from anything released at the time. It includes the now famous “(Ballad of the) Hip Death Goddess,” an 8:12 classic featuring the eerie, haunting vocals of Barbara Hudson, an oft covered staple of the genre.It was legendary record pro…
Behold And See
It was legendary record producer Alan Lorber that came up with the concept of "The Bosstown Sound" -- "The Sound Heard 'Round The World" to market and promote the best and brightest of the Bean Town sixties psychedelic scene. (Boston's key groups at the time included Orpheus, Beacon Street Union, Ultimate Spinach, Chamaeleon Church and others). The Ultimate Spinach, arguably the finest of them all, produced magnificent examples of surreal psychedelic record-making, now prized by crate-diggers an…
Angel Of The North
In a patchwork of IRL sound fragments, humming ambience and sub bass brushstrokes, Bobby Ingham debuts on Sneaker Social Club with a social-realist inversion of soundsystem music that relishes negative space while telling a street-level story. Bobby Ingham is a 24-year-old multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice across film, music and sculpture was shaped by formative experiences in his native Leeds. Having started to experiment with spoken word, poetry and electronic sound production, …
What Remains
'What Remains’ is the new album from John Haycock featuring Dan Bridgwood-Hill. Originally composed for resonance and performed live at Hope Baptist Church in Hebden Bridge in 2023, the composition uses kora, clarinet, guitar, violin and electronics to produce a heartfelt conjunction of acoustic, processed and environmental elements, deeply rooted in the land and history of the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire.
The original recording has been ‘Worldized’ in the Todmorden Unitarian Church, a term co…
Transcendent Universe
Pianist Joel Futterman and bassist William Parker deliver an epic improvisatory journey on this three-track, hour-long studio recording. Futterman and Parker have worked together in duo and group contexts since the 1980s, and their deep creative bond is audible in every note of this suite.
Alive Alone, Alive Together
Guitarist Ava Mendoza returns with a powerful and emotionally stirring live album — half solo electric guitar, and half duos with legendary drummer Hamid Drake. Featuring radically transformed versions of songs from her acclaimed albums The Circular Train and New Spells, as well as brand-new pieces, this is a thrilling document of Mendoza at her best — onstage in front of an audience.
American Psyche
Ella Fitzgerald meets Gangsta Rap and the Beach Boys encounter their despotic father. American Psyche by Raymond Pettibon & Oliver Augst is an ABC of Jazz standards and nostalgia on speed, "that the world will never forget."
Withings (things - with - wings - within) (Book + CD)
*250 copies limited edition* Anybody paying close enough attention during more recent years should have noticed that Volcano The Bear co-founder Nick Mott has long been producing music under his own name. Not only that but it always arrives adorned in his own highly distinctive artwork. Since his debut solo LP, 'The Visitors', on the defunct Alt. Vinyl in 2012, Nick has released a couple more albums, a 7"/art print package and lathe-cut 10"/art print set all on Fourth Dimension's sister label Lu…
Symphony No.5.: The Last Light is Your Own Star
The latest album from Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93, plus known for his work as Nature and Organisation and collaborations with artists such as Marc Almond, Nick Cave, Bill Fay, Rose McDowell and Antony and the Johnsons, amongst others) veers from the paths his previous releases have been on into an area altogether more grandiose or stately. While all of his recordings under his own name have alluded to orchestral or soundtrack work to varying degrees, he has long committed himself to…
Muriel Grossmann, Tõnu Naissoo
On this new NooPop Records session, Muriel Grossmann and Tõnu Naissoo ignite a live‑wired studio communion: fully improvised Tallinn meditations where spiritual jazz fervour, modal trance and molten organ grooves collide in real time.
East Two + 7
Eeast Two + 7 comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972–73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe. The title track, "East Two," is one of two pieces on this album originating at a two-day October 1972 session at Chicago's Streetervill…
Almost Waking
"Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highl…
Live at Ritual Botanica
"Messrs. Corsano and Dorji are both familiar names in the Feeding Tube discography. Chris has played drums on eight FTR LPs (and recorded two other), and Tashi has played guitar on six (details upon request if you are lazy.) But this is the first time they have appeared on vinyl as a duo, and we are damn proud to have them. Over the past years Chris has recorded with a lot of the era's best guitarists -- Bill Nace, Ben Chasny, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, David Vanzan, Bill Orcutt, Rick Bishop, G…
Inferno
Tip! »Inferno« retains its characteristic melodies and atmospheres, drawing on the esoteric influences of »Societas X Tape« (the BoC 2019 NTS mix for Warp Records’ 30th anniversary) as well as the dark atmosphere of »Tomorrow’s Harvest«, which is further intensified by the increased use of spoken-word recordings. The first BoC album in thirteen years has a running time of seventy minutes.
Capri
*300 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2009, Capri is a concept album composed of fragmented vignettes, lost minutes and scenes from an idyllic imagining. A collection of brief moments, suspended shimmers, and frail settings, Capri was never meant to be more than its own thin veneer; a naked and subtle wash of saturated and semi-transparent colors, rolling as gently as ocean waves against rocky beaches, of fading afternoon sunlight, of momentary experience. Peaceful yet isolated, qu…
Clock In, Clock Out
"Musica Mosaica undertakes an experimental exploration of sounds, viewed not merely as simple acoustic phenomena, but as truly living realities. From this perspective, experimentation is by no means a convenient metaphor used to illustrate an intuitive or informal approach. On the contrary, it is meant literally — deliberate, almost scientific: each musical piece becomes a small laboratory where sounds are observed as animated entities, with their own morphology, with impulses that bring them cl…
After The Rain
At a time when the Japanese jazz scene was rapidly maturing and one accomplished musician after another was emerging, another saxophonist worthy of new attention joined the scene: Masafumi Yamaguchi. This work, his memorable first album as a leader, now makes its long-awaited first appearance as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Primrose
A refined jazz work by Hiromasa Suzuki. Featuring Nobuyoshi Ino on bass and the accomplished Steve Jackson on drums, this album unfolds through interplay that is tightly knit yet relaxed throughout, and now makes its long-awaited first appearance as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Hush-A-Bye
Following the great response to the previous release "Flash Up," a live recording from Shinjuku Pit Inn in March 1977, this new work composed by Takeo Moriyama was recorded about a year later. The second release left by the Takeo Moriyama Group on Teichiku now finally makes its debut as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Utisetur I
*100 copies limited edition* Utisetur I is the sixth album by Canadian ritual project Undirheimar. Marking the beginning of an ambitious trilogy, this new work delves deeper than ever into the project’s uncompromising spiritual and sonic vision. Utisetur I unfolds as a six-part ritual chant rooted in the ancient meditative practice of Utiseta. Stripping away all instrumentation, Undirheimar constructs the entire album exclusively from layered overtone singing, creating a dense, immersive field o…
