Dark Entries is Elbow Deep in the Hoopla thanks to J.D. Slater. Legendary actor, director, and composer J.D.

Elbow Deep collects the scores from three…

Dark Entries is Filling Your Silence with the help of J.D. Slater. Legendary actor, director, and composer J.D.

*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by macro photography, field recordings and the hidden world of insects, "Bugs" explores the fragile boundary between nature and electronics. Built through instinctive improvisations with analog synthesizers, acoustic instruments, drum machines and environmental recordings, the album unfolds as a collection of immersive sonic landscapes suspended between twilight and darkness. Rather than describing the natural world, "Bugs" magnifies it, transforming tiny mo…

Reissue of the 1971 DEA Records double album in which Barbara explains black, white and gray witchcraft, tests whether you were born a witch, and performs chants, prosperity rituals and exorcisms. Second pressing of 500 copies.

The complete Jonestown "death tape" (FBI Q 042), recorded on 18 November 1978. Second pressing of 500 copies, dedicated to Christine Miller, the one voice that argued against the poison.

Passerine began in the fall of 2024 when my older son left home for college and friends began to ask if I were experiencing empty nest syndrome, or half-empty nest syndrome, as was the case. Each time, my reply was a simple, “nah, I’m good…everybody’s good.” And that was true. My wife, the boys, and I were all doing relatively well after many difficult, often harrowing years of helping our first-born navigate deep and dangerous mental health struggles — struggles so severe that we’d already had …

This is the first in the series of releases drawn from Finnish electronic and experimental music pioneer Pekka Airaksinen’s vast archives of unheard music to be released by Other Power. The playful yet deep Hevajra, from 1985, will be released on 23rd October on LP and digital formats. Pekka Airaksinen (1945–2019) was a versatile artist known particularly as a pioneer of electronic music and a significant figure in Finnish avant-garde. Born in Helsinki, Airaksinen was a painter, musician, compos…

With Statica Memoria, zakè returns to Affin for his third solo album. Over the past years, his work with the label has developed into a distinct and continuing body of work, shaped by an ongoing exploration of duration, resonance and the spaces that emerge when sound is given enough time to unfold. zakè has developed a particular way of approaching long-form ambient music. His compositions create an open environment in which listening can move freely between close attention and complete absorpti…

*200 copies limited edition* Bitter Sea collects 25 pieces from the most prolific period of composer Sean McCann’s early catalog. Recorded across California between 2008 and 2011, this two-disc set draws from tapes, CDrs, live recordings, and previously unreleased material. McCann made roughly 40 developmental albums during these years, mostly while living in San Francisco’s Sunset District and studying audio for film. Working from a small studio apartment, he recorded this wave of albums with v…

Tokyo-based producer aus debuts on Squama with his new album mere meer. Grounded in the question of how a specific environment can emerge through voice and memory, rather than through recording of an objective reality, the album stands in the tradition of modern Japanese Ambient and Kankyo Ongaku. aus is the solo project of Tokyo-born composer, producer, and curator Yasuhiko Fukuzono. His music is characterized by a precise combination of cinematic strings, acoustic instrumentation, and concrete…

*200 copies limited edition* The music on ‘Remanens’ is the result of a commission by Art Cinema OFF off and B.A.A.D.M to score the short silent film ‘Positano’ made by french actor and filmmaker Pierre Clémenti in 1969. The film itself is an ever-shifting series of glimpses, without much context, of a family vacation to the island Positano. The short cuts are similar to a dream or obscured, residual memories where chronology has fallen apart. The score was reworked into album format on ‘Remane…

*250 copies limited edition* Kramp was a band from Hallstahammar and Västerås (in the middle of Sweden) who started out in 1975 and played together until 1984. During those years the boys in the band jammed whenever they met but never released any records. Luckily some marvy unpolished and no-frills rehearsal space recordings from 1978, recorded on a small cassette player, survived and can be heard here in all their unpolished glory.

On October 23, Animative, Johnson’s third album under his own name and his first for International Anthem/Nonesuch, arrives to turn up the wattage on his artistry. More than any release to date, Animative shows why musicians and a growing community of listeners know this Chicago native and longtime L.A. resident to be one of the most imaginative electroacoustic musicians today, not to mention one of the most stunningly versatile. On Animative, the harmonically rich, loops-inflected sound Johnson…

Corbett vs. Dempsey is thrilled to announce the release of ‘Reason’, the second album from international free music quartet The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.

Many of the field recordings on this album I recorded standing still with my phone or zoom capturing quiet moments. But like silence, true stillness doesn’t exist. Our perception of time creates the illusion of stillness. That perception is not rigid, it can fluctuate and bend. Everyone around us experiencing time differently. I built the foundation of the music around this idea. Nothing in sync, many different loops varying in length. Some fairly recent recordings, others from years ago. I've u…

Grisaille is shaped by reduction, intuition, and time. Woven from a deliberately restricted palette, the pieces emerge from musical systems set in motion and allowed to unfold according to their own internal logic. Rather than following a fixed compositional path, they drift, accumulate, and transform: forms revealing themselves gradually through interaction, repetition, and change. The work foregrounds the first gesture. Takes are retained as they arrive rather than rehearsed into place, preser…

Discrepant presents Fantarombo, a new album by Giovanni Lami. While his previous works often moved through memory, residue, degradation, and dialogue with existing materials, Fantarombo takes shape as an unstable, bodily gesture. Sound is not recalled or reconstructed, but triggered, pushed, and set in motion as an active force. Lami approaches modular synthesis as a physical, hands-on practice rather than a technical exercise or display of system mastery. The modular setup becomes a responsive …

Dark Entries release Terminal Fascination, a retrospective release of the music of Camille O’Grady, subversive artist, leather witch, punk poet, and gender saboteur. O’Grady cut her teeth in New York’s burgeoning punk scene at clubs like CBGB’s, where her band Leather Secrets would share the stage with acts like Television. She became one of the few women to be welcomed into the Mineshaft, Wally Wallace’s legendary Manhattan gay BDSM club. Towards the end of the 70s, she would trek west to San F…

Seven years after 2019’s ‘The Dusk Loom’, Petrels returns with a pair of new albums, Infangthief and Outfangthief. The first of these releases, Infangthief, was originally written and recorded in 2022, before being reworked in light of a subsequent album, Outfangthief, due to be released later this year. The two albums act as companion pieces, mirrors revealing facets of the other, overlapping in sound and subject matter. Though Outfangthief may have been written after Infangthief, it is no mere…

*250 copies limited edition* First release from Channel 4, a new Berlin–London based quartet. Emerging from the duo Paroxysm (Werner Dafeldecker & Roy Carroll), whose work has been developing since 2019. The group grew out of a 2025 Ireland tour with saxophonist John Butcher and was completed after a London concert and recording session with violinist Angharad Davies. Drawing on decades of shared history — including Dafeldecker and Butcher’s long collaboration in the influential group Polwechsel…
