Mongolian Chant
Super rare Japanese original by bassist Isao Suzuki. Much in demeand by collectors and original issue copies sell for $$$!
Dusty groove says: "A really inventive little record from Japanese bassist Isao Suzuki -- and a set that, like most of his best 70s work, really defies any sort of easy categorization! Suzuki's got a wonderfully wide range of ideas running through his music -- at one level a really close-up and personal interprtation of the bass that makes for some beatiful solos (including …
Moon Blood
There are very few albums in the psych/punk/hard rock/private presses strata that garner the sort of universal awe and accolades that Fraction’s almighty Moonblood LP does, and even fewer records in the world that could be dubbed ‘Christian Rock’ incur such fierce devotion. Indeed some records just meteorically lift themselves out any genre tag with brilliance and sheer defiance--and Moonblood is surely one of them.
Based in LA, Fraction was a ragged collection of working-class musicians--the li…
The Siwnin Sails
"The Siwnin Sails" is a solo album consisting of eight songs written and composed by Shoko Numao, an emerging Japanese singer-songwriter. Numao studied vocal and composition focusing on jazz at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland, where she trained to use her voice as an instrument, exploring the expressive possibilities of the voice and laying the foundation for her current approach. Since returning to Japan in 2021, she has been based in Tokyo, performing her own songs, both in collabora…
For 10 Musicians
Samuel Reinhard returns to elsewhere music with “For 10 Musicians,” a four-part ensemble piece recorded in 2025 at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
Gorgeous nothings
Laura Cetilia's cello works evoke the sense of crossing the threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of a space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances conjure a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into a vast and profound world that is uniquely Cetilia's own. 'gorgeous nothings' is an album of three pieces composed by Cetilia, …

Karakoz
Mai Mai Mai’s artistic path has never rested on laurels, it’s been a constant evolution, a profound and poetic research, a dark and dusty journey through awareness and collaborations where the heart of the process has always been about building connections and understanding people and their rituals. Mai Mai Mai’s new album ‘Karakoz’ was mostly recorded in Palestine (Ramallah and Bethlehem) in 2024 during an ongoing genocide and follows his acclaimed Southern Gothic double-album ‘Rimorso’. The al…
Studio Music
*300 copies limited edition* The roots of Studio Music lie in a special encounter between sound artist Jan D’Haene and visual artist Mark Manders. Recorded in Manders’ studio, where sounds resonated among the artworks, the music unfolded in dialogue with the imposing space. As the concluding part of a diptych, following the EP Études, this album evolves more slowly and with greater layers. It forms a dialogue with D’Haene’s introspective passages and invites a moment of pause and stillness. In d…
Mahku
Manizeh's debut album "Mahku" is a bold entry into the world of contemporary spiritual jazz. Co-produced by Leiter labelmate ganavya—who recently released the celebrated "Daughter of a Temple" and "Nilam"—and Leiter co-founder Felix Grimm, the album was recorded in early 2025 at the label’s renowned Funkhaus Studio in Berlin.
"Mahku" comprises eight chants, including a striking reimagining of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” sung by Manizeh’s daughter, Mahku Rimer. The album’s title, meaning “eclips…
Tornada
Assembled by Pedro Alves Sousa, Má Estrela is a conjuration of ideas and obsessions around dub, leftfield dance phenomena and the hypnotic potential of urban somnambulance.
Fly Or Die II: Bird Dogs of Paradise
jaimie branch’s FLY or DIE II: bird dogs of paradise, originally released in the fall of 2019, was hugely anticipated in its time.
Low clouds hang, this land is on fire
For his third new album release for Drag City, Tashi Dorji turns to the electric guitar. After the furious acoustic improvisations that drove the previous two—"Stateless" and "we will be wherever the fires are lit" — it’s easy to imagine an album of his electric guitar improvisations as an encompassingly incendiary essay. Especially when titled low clouds hang, this land is on fire. After all, this is a man capable of tearing up the place with the tactile musical violence of Bill Orcutt and Dere…
mātr
*200 copies limited edition* Paul Jebanasam’s third studio album draws from a sonic exploration of ecological and material consciousness, bringing together narratives of human and geological time in the face of a planet traversing crisis and emerging cataclysm. The title mātr takes a dual meaning from the Sanskrit for ‘mother’, and a deviation of the Western word ‘matter’, positing the dialogue between human relations and material existence via a deep time centering of their duality. Through a q…
Naebula
Devotional music most often gets distilled into earthy chants and ancient folklore, it doesn't always ascend to the sky like Julinko’s ‘Naebula’ an album that from the first organ note clearly trades in terrestrial dreams for ethereal visions. A feverish quality permeates the whole record, as if a ritualistic performance was being captured from start to finish, a collection of hallucinatory doom, synthetic neo-folk hymns and ghostly art-rock. Julinko, stage name for Giulia Parin Zecchin, has lon…
10,000 Rivers
Robert Stillman didn’t set out to make a concept album about Steve Jobs. But as a composer and improviser whose music asks questions about his relationship with reality, a curiosity about the promises and follies of technology took him there. Following an intuitive path from James Bridle’s acclaimed book on non-human intelligence Ways of Being to the seminal 1995 essay “The California Ideology”, Stillman arrived at Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple founder Steve Jobs – and what would become t…

This collection on Secrets of Sound brings together some real dons of the genre, from Mark Barrott - to Steve Roach, and sequences them into one soothing, calming trip that touches on all different sub-sounds and styles from New Age to celestial. A spoken word intro from long-running ambient radio Jaroslav Kovaracek sets the scene before you're then cast adrift in supreme sonic…
