Slow, Slow Spectres
Following his sonorous debut on the label with Magnetically Yours in 2024, Andrew Hargreaves returns with a solemn suite of vaporous, ambient and choral ennui, unfolding across two sides.
Microliths and Momentary Drifts
*250 copies limited edition* Microliths and Momentary Drifts is the first full-length collaboration from the trio of zakè (Zach Frizzell), Ossa (Kaiton Slusher), and ASC (James Clements), where rolling analog synth lines, chest-rattling bass, and otherworldly atmospherics evoke and build on the timeless qualities of peak-era 90s ambient. Each artist has released solo and collaborative works for Zakè Drone Recordings and Past Inside The Present over the last half-decade, but in this combination, …
Behind the Great Curve
*200 copies limited edition* L. Jacobs releases his second album, Behind the Great Curve, on the Belgian label blickwinkel. Featuring contributions from Milan W., Sarah Yu Zeebroek, and Joachim Badenhorst, the follow-up to the surprising debut Enthusiasm was initially composed and recorded in Jacobs’ small attic room and later refined at Milan W.’s Van den Nest Studio, where W. also handled production and mixing. A line or outline which gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of i…

All profits of this album will be given to Svitlana Nianio!
Up With The Sun
"Up With The Sun is ronja’s latest cycle of songs: themes first met in wistful dreams, sounding dreamlike all the while, with voice and acoustic guitar as the main vehicle, and a company of Berlin and Copenhagen musicians close behind. Following For Annette (2023), it is the second ronja record on Berlin’s Unguarded, this time to appear as a co-release between Unguarded and Lucerne-based Präsens Editionen. In a kindred spirit to its predecessor, the writing here is less concerned with naming abs…
Pointless
Greg Horn started out in West Lafayette, Indiana as guitarist and vocalist of Dow Jones and the Industrials, a punk and new wave band with a wiry, keyboard-inflected sound that earned them a split LP with the Gizmos in 1980 before the group dissolved in 1981. Horn relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he found work at the PBS station KAET and met synthesist Galen Herod. Together they formed Tone Set, the minimal synth-pop duo that released Cal's Ranch and Calibrate and earned rare praise from Mar…
Applied Synthesis
Bill Rhodes was a Florida-based synthesist and composer who spent the 1980s building an idiosyncratic body of work across a series of self-released cassettes and limited vinyl pressings, entirely outside the commercial music industry and largely unknown beyond the tape-trading network he plugged into through South Florida connections and fanzine advertisements. His music was described by Boomkat as spanning "lounge jazz flair to doomy John Carpenter feels," evoking a library's worth of themes an…
Recordings 1979-83
Malcolm Brown is a Scottish electronics and minimal synth artist who has been active since the late 1970s, working from council flats in West Lothian with whatever equipment he could assemble: a Casio VL Tone, electric guitar, bass, piano, a Shinei Fuzzbox, a Dual Octave Box, a WEM Copycat echo unit, a Dr. Rhythm drum machine, electronic percussion pads, an Akai GX 4000D reel-to-reel recorder, and a Hitachi stereo tape deck. His early collaborations with Robert Lawrence of Quick Stab Products in…
Movement
Debut Sacred Bones release from acclaimed Venetian ambient visionary. From spectral drones to shimmering electronics and jazz-tinged harmonies, Movement flows like tides: a music of swells, currents and the body in motion.
Rem(a)inders
Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio and visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music. Amulets has steadily built a catalog defined by tactile intimacy and patient exploration. Deeply immers…
Lost Themes
The first solo album from the legendary director and composer of Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Snake and many more! With the 15 films he has directed and composed the soundtracks for, John Carpenter has single-handedly defined the sound of the horror genre. The film music alone manages to instantly conjure up, in the musical memory of the devoted fan, the menacing figure lying in wait for the babysitter, the ghost-filled mist, the kung fu fighters with their lightning-fast fists, or the…
Glass Torso
“Joe Fujinoki centered the compositions of his latest album Glass Torso around the idea of the fragility of the human body. Fujinoki described the narrative thread of the album as that of “holding the shape of a human body as if it might shatter like glass”. The precariousness of the body, the essence of the body as defined by Fujinoki as the torso, and the object relations between the boundaries of dialectical exercises pack themselves into his creative process. Fujinoki recorded Glass Torso ex…
Old Dark Champagne
This EP, written and recorded over three years, captures the work of Haydn Douet Lukies, a percussionist whose practice centres on highly resonant objects and site-responsive sound. Based in Portugal, Douet Lukies has developed a distinctive approach to solo percussion, working with antique metal and glass alongside found architectural surfaces. His music draws on a wide range of influences, from minimalism and Arabic percussion to jungle and the polyrhythmic batida that first drew him to Lisbon…

Ohmmmmm… Sedative new-age dream sequence from NYC cold-caller Arsenii for in-house mixtape series Tabi Tapes. Nag champa at the ready…
An unsolicited email dropped into the inbox not so long ago from US-based record dealer and cassette fanatic, explaining how a strong passion for collecting / documenting otherwise ‘lost’ music has led to uploading to YouTube, sharing and assembling mixes. It was accompanied by a 90 minute recording comprised of pieces culled from private new age cassettes foun…
Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes
In Sheep’s Clothing announces the long-awaited vinyl pressing of Marc Leclair’s beloved 2005 album Musique pour 3 femmes enceintes. The album will also be available on streaming for the first time via Community Music Group. For years after Marc Leclair released Musique pour 3 femmes enceintes, he heard from listeners who had lived with the record in an unusually intimate way. Many described how the music became part of the emotional landscape of the months leading to birth. “I never expected tha…
The Garden
Entering Omar Cheikh’s world feels like crossing a holy portal, the micro‑rhythms of a slow‑growth forest and the lush density of countless light prisms quietly echoing distant songs. ‘The Garden’, his first release for Maple Death, weaves a near-ritualistic, emotionally saturated atmosphere, shaped by organic folk elements, somber instrumentation, and lingering industrial textures. Every detail is finely etched yet the song architectures maintain a liquid form, projecting geometrical figures th…

Egg Shells II
*2026 stock* Egg Shells is a compilation series by the label Biardo Records. These compilations bring together various musicians and producers, blending different sounds and textures into a unified flow. The series isn’t tied to a specific genre — it primarily conveys a certain state and mood.
The second compilation turned out to be gothic, summery-contemplative, and warmly analog in both sound and spirit. Vocal and acoustic instrument samples, fourth world music, audio collage, loop deconstruct…
