KCRW Session
On KCRW Session, Oneohtrix Point Never’s MYRIAD Ensemble re‑imagines four Age Of‑era pieces as live, tectonic mini‑epics. “Love In The Time Of Lexapro,” “RayCats,” “Toys 2” and “Chrome Country” are stretched, bent and coloured by a full band - Kelly Moran, ADR and Eli Keszler - turning studio collages into muscular, sci‑fi chamber performances.
Magic Oneohtrix Point Never
On Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, Daniel Lopatin turns his alias back on itself, building an FM‑radio hallucination that scans through pop ballads, new‑age satire and junk‑media collage. Mutant songs, warped DJ chatter and scavenged broadcast detritus form a self‑portrait of OPN’s first decade, mapped as a day spent spinning the dial of a half‑broken soft‑rock station.
Tranquilizer
On Tranquilizer, Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) turns a cache of vanished 90s/early‑2000s sample CDs into a shimmering, otherworldly meditation on digital memory. Ambient‑new‑age rompler pads, anonymous whooshes and muzak fragments are re‑cut into vivid sound collages that feel more stupefying than sedative, tracing beauty inside the most ordinary sonic debris.
We'll Take It
“We’ll Take It” is Oneohtrix Point Never’s most terrifying hydraulic banger on Age Of: a car‑dealership nightmare where late‑stage consumer desire turns into industrial, post‑digital overload. Swerving drums, “sideways ragtime” piano and mangled vocals enact the moment when “we don’t even know what the price is” but buy anyway, stretching under four minutes into a cavernous, supernatural infinity.
The Spectacle of Light Abductions 2 – Music for the Paintings of Vedran Kopljar
A sequel to 2011's communication from our future selves on 'The Spectacle of Light Abductions', this new endeavour by restless netherzone traveller Spencer Clark envisions a space map towards the other side of human life.
A meditation on the paintings of Vedran Kopljar, these two side-long pieces, recorded and performed at Kopljar's exhibition at Muhka Museum in Antwerp in 2024, tap into the barren world inhabited by Clark while wandering what he calls the "Abomination Plateaus".

Talking in a Different Way
Talking in a Different Way is the debut full-length release of sachi’s mirror, the creative alias of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Shaina Pan. Melding disparate elements of ambient, electronic, dream-pop, and avant-garde classical, Pan beckons us into sonic worlds equally enigmatic and emotive. Across a collection of self-produced songs and vignettes that began to take form during a month-long residency in Vallejo, CA in the spring of 2025, she explores a theme of constant and qu…
Body Trip
Originally released in 2016 on Constellation Tatsu, Body Trip introduced Japanese ambient composer H. Takahashi’s quietly immersive approach to minimal electronic composition. Built from delicate synth tones, meditative repetition, and understated melodic movement, the album has become a lasting favorite within contemporary ambient circles. Over the past decade, Takahashi has developed an internationally respected body of work spanning releases such as Raum, Low Power, Escapism, Elegy, and Paleo…
Ampersand Curve
»Ampersand Curve« initiates a brilliant new phase of work by North Manchester’s most elusive artist, best known as Michael J. Blood. His string of ruffkut club bangers, as well as jams with Rat Heart & Samizdat over the past seven years, have made his records a true cult property, and now find him signed to one of the UK’s most foundational techno imprints – more of which later this year.
But under the Sees aegis, he swims in very different waters, following his instincts to use the studio-as-in…
Tree Grid
*30 copies limited edition. Signed, hand-assembled CD + unique Polaroid photo by zakè, housed in a hand-stamped and numbered 2-panel kraft cardstock sleeve* Toward the end of 2024, I sent Brian Grainger (Coppice Halifax) a collection of sounds, loops, and textures, giving him complete creative freedom to reshape them into something entirely new. Much like his remarkable reinterpretation of LL ('LL1 (Beige Mix)' ZD-026, 2023), every piece on this album was constructed exclusively from the source …
Few Words Are Enough EP
*50 copies limited edition* Following last year's debut LP, Almost An Island, released on Past Inside the Present, the trio of James Bernard, Cynthia Bernard, and Kenneth James Gibson return with the three-song EP Few Words Are Enough. The collection includes the title track, previously available only on Bandcamp as part of PITP's year-end compilation, along with an extended ambient version and a brand-new piece, Gift of Place, featuring the enveloping textures of taishogoto harp and lap steel. …
Behind The Pane
*35 copies limited edition* 'Behind the Pane' is an album built around an intimate feeling: the warmth and safety of being inside the house while the outside world turns into rain, snow, wind, or twilight beyond the glass. Across its 8 pieces, the album explores ethereal soundscapes, delicate textures, and small details and artifacts that appear and disappear like reflections in a window. Each track seeks to capture that contrast between shelter and exposure: the protected silence of the interio…
Soñador
*35 copies limited edition* 'Soñador' (Dreamer) is a deeply personal album reflecting Bålsam's decade-long journey in the jungles of Colombia. It explores healing through music, experiences with plant medicines, and the impact of childhood bullying. Key themes include a profound connection with someone during a time of loss and discovering new ways to express himself. The album features heartfelt contributions, including a voice message from his mother and a track with his 5-year-old daughter. S…
Poem 1
On Poem 1, Ana Roxanne strips away the ambient haze of her earlier work to place her voice, naked and close‑mic’d, at the center of a heartbreak record. Slow, piano‑led ballads, a Schumann lied recast in synth‑chamber light, and one Lynchian jazz centerpiece turn her quiet intensity into a lucid, emotionally exposed song cycle.
Club Imperiale
Named after a now-shuttered nightspot that overlooked the beach on Italy's picturesque Tuscan coast, Maxime Denuc's 'Club Imperiale' is a work of speculative historical fiction, a record that imagines a point of creative symbiosis between the Catholic church and the ecstatic dancefloors of the early '90s.
Nature's Dream-Harp
Huge Tip! “Sacred Aeolian music capturing and harnessing the divine power of the wind”. Aeolian Harp is somewhere between a string instrument and a receiver. Its strings are agitated by the wind without any human interference, producing tones entirely of its own volition. Archer toured the British Isles setting up his harp in various sacred and loosely mystical locations. Where he let the Devaharp transmit an otherwise unknown sacred music that has always existed around us.
Listening to the natu…
Grainy film
A new release from the back alleys of Tokyo."Prior to the vinyl release of the debut work “Vapor Curve”, which suffered a one-year delay due to manufacturing errors, the release of the mini-album “grainy film” has been confirmed." Following the artist's previous release, this album completely eschews the use of computer-based DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software. By relying exclusively on a strictly limited setup of hardware—synthesizers, samplers, and delay units—the artist pursues a meticu…
Evocation
Mikkel Rev returns to A Strangely Isolated Place with Evocation, his third full-length album shaped deep within the forests of Norway.
Clouds
If you don't know 'Clouds' then, quite naturally, you'd have to be living underground. The work of Venetian composer Gigi Masin went mostly ignored until Music From Memory's early-2010s reissue campaign pulled him and his ingenious ambient works out of the murk, among which many salvages include his now calling-card, 'Clouds'. Re-pressed astonishingly through P-Vine of all labels, this soul-quelling masterwork - first recorded in 1989 for a split release with Charles Hayward and mostly forgotten…
Plage Arrière
A much needed repress of French ambient composer and lifeguard Roméo Poirier's cult debut record, Plage Arrière. Released with updated artwork, by London imprint Kit Records. Plage Arrière is a deep sea meditation on a constellation of Greek beaches across three islands. Trumpets, echo-clicks and Harold Budd-esque shimmer piano whirl together on these sand-caked missives, tumbled and re-engineered by their surroundings like seaglass. Poirier evokes the sub-aqeaous ambitions of Jürgen Müller, or …
Kind Stranger
Quiet, from the Latin quies, evokes a state of being still. In its verb form, quiet means to clear so that something can gradually come into focus. Kind Stranger by Amedeo Cappelletti is where quiet materializes in a more transient, even foreign, way. Each track takes a step back from noise, borne out of a slow return to music, a different pace, and a familiar place left behind for years. Kind Stranger, released on Aurora Edition on July 24th, is about the strangeness of a return. Cappelletti's …
