Mirror at Night
Mirror at Night searches the subconscious: Eric Angelo Bessel sculpts a spectral space where ambient resonance, spectral melody, and time-stretched echoes intermingle. The album pulses with memory and hush, summoning nocturnal images that flicker between clarity and dissolution—a twilight walk across the inner landscape.
Live at Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali
Live At Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali sees Grischa Lichtenberger transfigure a forty-minute set into a tactile, visual, and kinetic experience. Industrial clangor, mechanical pulses, and fleeting ambience merge, sculpted with rigor. Issued by Hermit Records as a collector’s vinyl, it stands at the edge between noise, rhythm, and abstraction
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field witnesses Horse Lords and Arnold Dreyblatt in deep collaboration, melting minimal composition and polyrhythmic invention into a sprawling sound experiment.

Released on Hallow Ground as an LP, this album invites listeners to experience a visionary fusion of music and art from a renowned artist-led label, dedicated to inspiring sonic exploration.
Way Their Crept
Liz Harris's debut as Grouper returns—the album that established her approach to ambient music as something other than comfort. Songs that refuse to be remembered, fog that won't lift, secrets kept just on the other side of the speakers. Kranky reissues the 2005 original.
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.
Music for Dimensions
Elvio Seta is a composer and sound artist whose work encompasses electronic and instrumental composition, live performances, and the creation of original sound works and diffusion structures. Most of his works are conceived by exploiting the qualities of multichannel sound projection to explore the deeper aspects of acoustic perception. On "Music for Dimensions", released under the name Neuf Voix, he treats voice as sonic matter, dissolving the boundary between recognition and abstraction. The a…
Interstitial Spaces
Interstitial Spaces marks Martin Brandlmayr’s first venture with Faitiche and explores those rarefied, nearly invisible moments at the threshold of musical narrative—what lingers after conclusion, what bristles before commencement. Here, Brandlmayr—Radian and Polwechsel's celebrated percussion mind—deploys field, film and record scraps, sculpting from absence a delicate, audio micro-drama.
Super-Sonic Jazz
When Sun Ra released his debut Saturn release in 1957, he signaled the Arkestra’s mission for the future. The cover declared the album a "21st Century Limited Edition." The compositions on Supersonic Jazz conveyed optimism and hope, bringing a message auguring the World of Tomorrow. Ra declared this the first dimension of a fresh art form, as he set about evolving a new American music — a composite of the past and future, the known coalescing with the unknown. The album, not very well received u…
More Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of Vol 2
Celebrated Norwegian band Fra Lippo Lippi return with a definitive new collection, More Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of Vol. 2, an album that continues their legacy as one of the most beloved and enduring names in pop history. Following on from the success of *Golden Slumbers: The Very Best Of*, this second volume offers a fresh journey through the band’s timeless works, bringing together carefully curated tracks that capture both their heartfelt lyricism and melodic brilliance. Emerging in th…
1979
"Two years after he first appeared on Balmat with 1977, Mike Paradinas returns with 1979. The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something—half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair—in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released. Just like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Li…
12" Single One
*300 copies limited edition* At this point the vast swathes of unreleased Muslimgauze material Bryn Jones left behind when he passed away over 25 years ago is as legendary as any of his work. And sure enough, there's still some being unearthed today. The second entry (and only 12”-sized one) is in a series of four (three 7"s and one 12") taken from one of Jones' customary completely unlabelled DATs he sent to labels seemingly as fast as he finished them.
A new series of singles collecting one of…
Langue of Tongue
Lénok’s 'Langue of Tongue' is a descent. An unhinged pinballing down a realm of incomprehension and lunacy, a darkly psychedelic ego-death-spiral into a world of pure, deranged disquiet. It is, and this cannot be emphasised enough, a truly fucked up place. It comes complete with clearly marked borders delineated by its opening and closing tracks '(Entrance' and 'Exit)’. The message is clear: this is less album than zone. There's no comfort to be found here. It’s like the inner monologue of some …
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
Violinist, composer, and arranger Hiroki Tamaki presents a majestic musical tapestry inspired by the teachings of Indian spiritual philosopher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Layering his own vocals in rich harmony and weaving in the ethereal synthesizer work of Fumitaka Anzai (of TPO and Urusei Yatsura fame), Tamaki creates a soundscape of mysticism and spiritual balance. The album features progressive rock-influenced tracks such as “The Songs of Mahamudra” and “Meditation,” alongside hidden gems of Ja…
Dark Lights
Acclaimed composer, producer, DJ, and founder of Nonclassical, Gabriel Prokofiev, unveils his long-awaited album Dark Lights, marking his first personal release on the label in over a decade. Known for his distinctive fusion of genres, Prokofiev bridges the worlds of orchestral music and electronic production with an intensity that feels uniquely his own.
Dark Lights represents a bold step forward in Prokofiev’s sonic journey. Drawing on his background as a producer of hip-hop, grime, and elec…
Orange
*300 copies limited release* Originally released in 2010 on limited edition CD, Orange is a singular, kaleidoscopic statement from Vermont-based Kurt Weisman – multi-instrumentalist, hermit mystic, and founding member of cult supergroup Feathers (with Kyle Thomas/King Tuff, Asa Irons, Ruth Garbus, and Chris Weisman). “If a homesick alien were to fall to Earth, meet a girl, pick up a guitar, and retreat to a cabin in the woods, it’s possible his first record would sound a lot like Kurt Weisman’s …
