Upcoming releases
A Path Within A Path
*150 hand-numbered copies limited edition* Seabuckthorn is an alias used for the solo work of English composer Andy Cartwright. Cartwright uses picking & bowing techniques combined with various open tunings on string instruments to form a mixture of approaches, often with layered accompaniments. Generally the songs lean towards to the experimental genre, whilst on the edge of the ambient and folk. Having grown up in Oxfordshire, Cartwright studied sound engineering in Cornwall and then lived in …
Cassotto
*200 copies limited edition* On October 10, Brussels-based accordionist Suzan Peeters releases her debut album 'Cassotto' on the Belgian label blickwinkel. With 'Cassotto', she opens a door into a hidden chamber of sound. The title refers to the “cassotto” — a small resonating chamber inside the accordion that warms, softens, and deepens its tone. Listening to this record feels as if you’ve stepped into that room yourself, enveloped in a world where intimacy and grandeur collide. Although this i…
Solids For Voices
*300 copies limited edition* Valby Vokalgruppe returns with Solids for Voices — a new album landing on 7th November 2025 via Hands in the Dark. Initiated in 2008 by Anja Jacobsen, the Danish collective’s current line-cup is completed by Lil Lacy, Sonja LaBianca, Cæcilie Trier and Laura Marie Madsen. The group has written and performed a large number of cross-aesthetic pieces over the years, including an album Bah New Era released in 2012 on Eget Værelse.
Sharpened to its core, the group dives de…
One Weird Trick
British South African composer & producer Galina Juritz presents 'One Weird Trick', her debut solo album on London's home for interdisciplinary oddballs, Kit Records.
Touch
With Touch, the Tortoise bandmembers — Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker — harness their collectivist songwriting approach, a slightly anarchistic but resolutely egalitarian process where ideas triumph over ego towards an abstracted muscularity. While there are still excursions into the dusky, elegantly gnarled jazz ambience that flourished on landmark works like Millions Now Living Will Never Die and TNT, Touch is perhaps most remarkable for Tortoise's un…
Further Beyond
"The history and culture of improvised music have been shaped by manifold concepts of freedom, but one in particular explains Amado’s aesthetic. It is his reference to Sam Rivers’ declaration: “Freedom does not mean unconditional renunciation of melody and rhythm, but the freedom to choose what I want to play.” It was this freedom to that led Rivers to punctuate his epic trio sets with grooves and essays on perennials like “Wheatleigh Hall.” Rivers also eschewed the labeling of his music as impr…
Feather and Pine
We are very proud to announce the second album by Michael Krassner for Dark Companion. This innovative, as ever, breathtaking music was originally intended as the soundtrack to a docufilm by Michael James Beck and Star Rosencrans of the same name: the film denounces the severe deforestation of North America’s majestic forests and all the associated problems. The music strikes arcane chords, buried in our collective memory. Ancient tales are told without words, preserving a profound sacredness th…

Ashes
When war erupted in Ukraine, French sound sculptor Lambwool found himself overtaken by an overwhelming surge of fear and anxiety. The escalating threat of nuclear disaster, the looming specter of global conflict, and the harrowing imagery of destruction awakened in him a long-buried childhood trauma: the paralyzing terror of an impending apocalypse. For ten days following the outbreak of war, Lambwool was engulfed in a state of absolute panic. Searching for a way to purge these suffocating emoti…
New Revelations of Being
*300 copies limited edition* American Dark Ambient sound sculptor Ajna returns with his latest full-length work, New Revelations of Being, an eleven-track descent into the abyss of human psyche and metaphysical dread. Following his acclaimed Cyclic Law releases, this new opus draws direct inspiration from the fevered writings of Antonin Artaud’s Artaud 1937 Apocalypse.
With New Revelations of Being, Ajna channels Artaud’s fragmented visions of destruction, renewal, and transcendence through a va…
And The World Will Perish In Flames
*300 copies limited edition* Forged in the fires of Spain’s underground, Dayofwrath unleashed their uncompromising vision with the limited cassette release of And The World Will Perish In Flames via Cloister Recordings in 2021. With its raw aggression, suffocating atmosphere, and apocalyptic intensity, the album quickly became a coveted cult artifact. This new CD edition preserves the original spirit, unrelenting, furious, and bleak, while opening the door to a wider audience. Its presence withi…

Magnetism
Super Tip! Kali Malone and Drew McDowall have orbited each other's work for over a decade, their individual explorations of sustained tones and harmonic space suggesting an inevitable collaboration. When they finally entered McDowall's Brooklyn studio together, what emerged on Magnetism transcends mere musical compatibility. Malone has spent recent years extending the legacy of Éliane Radigue, redefining what electronic minimalism can accomplish through pipe organ and synthesizer. Her compositio…
Silentium
"zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has consistently built goodwill and community through his renowned family of labels (Past Inside the Present, Zakè Drone Recordings, and Healing Sound Propagandist) since 2018, and with the collaborative anthology Silentium, those roots bear remarkable fruit in the form of 22 compositions across more than two hours. It is a towering testament to care and kinship, as well as to the artist’s noble ambitions as a creator and curator. During an extended period in early 2024…
At Quadrant Park
**Edition of 500 compact discs with artwork by Robert Beatty unique to every individual copy. Each copy forms one distinct frame of a short film never to be viewed in its totality.** For the inaugural release on Quadrant Park, SDEM delivers a live recording with a twist: this set was recorded in early 2024 in a single take to an audience of one, at a now abandoned empty club space beneath a railway arch in Leeds. Following a series of physical and digital releases culminating with Vortices in 20…
Perseverance Flow
Fifteen years in, Joshua Abrams and his Natural Information Society have stopped trying to impress anyone and started building something genuinely necessary. Perseverance Flow strips away the expanded lineups of recent efforts, returning to the core quartet—Lisa Alvarado on harmonium, Mikel Patrick Avery on drums, Jason Stein on bass clarinet, and Abrams on guimbri—for one continuous 37-minute meditation that feels less like composed music than a natural phenomenon you've stumbled upon.
This isn…
Punjabi Disco
Boys, as well as a cover by Say She She’s Piya Malik and Turbotito & Ragz and a previously unreleased track. It is available for pre-order and out on x2LP vinyl and all digital platforms on October 31st, 2025.
Released the same year and into equal obscurity as ‘Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat’, Charanjit Singh’s acid house opus, the reissue of ‘Punjabi Disco’ is set to have similar reverberations in the world of dance music. Produced by Mohinder’s eldest son and legendary bhangra pioneer Kuljit Bhamra…
Playgrounds
Imagine the world that opens up to you when you turn on the power button on your childhood keyboard. A forgotten, dreamlike, carefree, rainbow, unique world. Longing for such a world, three representatives of Polish pianism - Piotr Zabrodzki, Marcel Baliński, and Grzegorz Tarwid - come together to create a completely new sound quality from their obsolete keyboard instruments.
Didi
From the introspective "Mojo uno", Gelbard's solo piece on Moog, to the wild "Alevacolariea", featuring the prolific Uruguayan Rubén Rada, Gelbard's solo album offers no chance to remain indifferent.
Uncontrollable Thoughts
Anushka Chkheidze + Robert Lippok’s »Uncontrollable Thoughts« on Morr Music is the duo’s debut joint release. The Netherlands-based Georgian composer and the German sound artist from Berlin first met in 2019 in the context of a workshop programme that took place in Tbilisi, and later worked with Eto Gelashvili, Hayk Karoyi, and Lillevan on the massive »Glacier Music II« music and book project, released in 2021. This led them to engage in a less conceptually driven form of musicking and real-time…
