Upcoming releases
The End of the Continuum
*300 copies limited edition* Anybody paying attention to what’s been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion released in late March. Meshing abstract electronics with ambient textures, field recordings and a more electroacoustic setting, 'Analysis Reveals Nothing of Substance' brought together the minds of Frans de Waard and Steven Wilson into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on…
Untitled
RGL is a track maker known for his lo-fi house productions and analog-textured dance music, with releases on labels such as Diskotopia and Breaker Breaker. His new work, Untitled, showcases a wide-ranging sonic palette: alongside rhythm-driven tracks, the release also features abstract drone pieces with little or no discernible beat. The result is a work that crystallizes RGL’s singular sensitivity to sound and texture.
White Morning
On White Morning, Fumio Miyashita distils his healing‑ambient language into two near‑half‑hour reveries: soft synths and gentle acoustic colours held in a discovered stillness that treats music as a space for rest, focus and quiet presence.
Mood Programs / Extended Play
On Mood Programs – Extended Play, Ron Trent’s LA MARR project turns two long pieces, “Good Magic” and “Clear”, into living rooms of sound: ambient‑leaning, rhythm‑conscious environments where synth, dub space and hi‑fi warmth shape mood as much as melody.
Bivabippabualukka
On Bivabippabualukka, Sofie Birch turns a spiritually transformative period with her brother Alfred into a bossa‑tinted pocket of joy: playful, childlike songs where intuition, myth and healing spill out like fish from a cup of dreams.
Magic Object
This is not a Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein record; it’s a Play Time record. That’s a subtle but important distinction, for a couple reasons. One, the sound of Magic Object—a polymetric blend of improv and pulse minimalism for saxophone, drums, and Moog—doesn’t really sound anything like any of their many other ensembles or respective solo projects. And two, it was only while making Magic Object, their debut album, that Play Time realized they were a band at all. Let’s back up. The…
Tinderbox
On Tinderbox, Myer U Clark leans into what he calls “musical jank”: loose‑limbed indie‑folk where wiry guitars, Harold‑and‑Maude whimsy and ghosts of English folk and Delta blues wrap around love songs that stumble, blush, and somehow land on their feet.
1978
Grab the album 1978 by Hikashu - wild experimental rock meets synth-pop energy. You can listen online or download it easy. Tracks like "Puyopuyo" and "Dorodoro" hit hard with weird, catchy vibes. Sax, synths, and vocals go nuts in the best way. Released in 1996 but still sounds fresh. Japan's hidden gem, kinda. Not for everyone, but if you're into odd beats and electronic chaos, this is gold. Oh, and fun fact - they've been called "the Japanese Talking Heads"... which is kinda accurate? Whatever…
A Sucked Orange
300 copies only. 2xLP Picture. Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP p…
Obsession (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music, presents Obsession Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Rock Burwell. Obsession follows a hopeless romantic that finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
“A big focus while composing Obsession was the idea of exploring the uncanny valley, finding the space where emotions get warped into something disorienting, where you’re no longer sure what’s real" Burwell notes. "C…
Sing forever
An unceremonious release of some old songs strewn across the past few years, played and recorded into a lounge room in Annandale, Gadigal land. Marking a time of playing around lots with jasper (when time was easier to wrangle) and hopefully making room for new songs to come visit! we are singing forever. Sounds from budapest train, typewriter, guitars, an old fan favourite, kata, jasper, laughter.
La Banda
Soul, jazz-rock, candombe and funk blend in the cocktail of La Banda's first and sole album. Often regarded as Argentina's first supergroup, the ensemble built a reputation on their explosive live performances during a time of political repression. Short-lived but unforgettable, the six-piece brought together top-tier jazz musicians—five Argentinians alongside Uruguayan icon Rubén Rada—to deliver a deep, hard-hitting sound that resonates far beyond its era. Rada arrived in Buenos Aires bruised —…
Instrumental Romance
*2026 stock* In 2023, k.d.b lived in a crumbling farmhouse on the edge of the River Maas. Each morning, he’d wake at 6:00 and walk along the river’s bank with his dogfriend Miemel, pausing at sunrise for a cup of coffee. It’s 6:34, and a thick rug of mist rolls out across the river. It’s so dense that k.d.b can’t see the water beneath it. Then comes the sun: a single ray cutting through the mist like a tube of light, landing on Miemel’s face. In her mouth is a CD she’s picked up, and on the CD i…

This soundscape, reminiscent of wandering into a deep forest, quietly soothes the listener’s heart and the surrounding space. We invite you to experience this musical journey－much like a walk in the woods－in this day and age.

Life
World-famous pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto’s second East Wind release, "Life," appears in the lineup for "Spin This Now!" Vol. 9. Backed by a golden rhythm section with Sam Jones on bass and Billy Higgins on drums, Yamamoto delivers a supremely swinging performance. His delicate ballad playing on "If You Could See Me Now" is also essential listening.
