Staying (Leaving Records Aid to Artists Impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires)
"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis America’s darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7th—and which are still raging—are, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the city’s living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of w…
Almost An Island
*100 copies limited edition* Almost An Island marks the first collaboration between musician and producer Kenneth James Gibson and the husband-and-wife duo James and Cynthia Bernard. Gibson's career is a mosaic of sounds and ideas—so varied it might seem like the work of several artists, yet unmistakably his. From the widescreen psych-folk of Bell Gardens (with the late Brian McBride of Stars of the Lid), to the fractured electronics of Eight Frozen Modules, to intimate solo ambient albums and e…

Mer Changeante
"To whom does a record belong, once it’s been released, once it's released and lives its own life, outside the thoughts of those who composed it? Does it not also belong to those who listen to it and find in it realities, unsuspected joys and desires at the time of its creation? For as long as I've known him, Michel Wisniewski has been exploring, under the pseudonym Supermalprodelica, the effects that the music of others, which he listens to with a sensitive ear, produces on him. And he has the …

Voukolika Tragoudia
*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Voukolika Tragoudia (The Shepherd's Songs) is a collection of tracks that tries to imitate in fragments of extreme sound the wild and often primitive life on the mountains and plains of Creta.

Counting Backwards From ∞
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Frans de Waard and Sindre Bjerga are well-known for conjuring intensely captivating ambient dronescapes from rather lo-fi sources, both as solo artists and in their duo Tech Riders.

At once invigorating and atmospheric, Cox’s contemporary soundscape blurs the past and present. It brings history’s forgotten youth to life, and vibrates with the restless dreaminess of adolescence.
Bradford Cox is the lead singer of the acclaimed band Deerhunter, and the solo project Atlas Sound. As Atlas Sound Bradford has released three full albums, and Deerhunter has r…

"In 2016, I invited Norman Westberg to Australia for his first solo tour. He’d been in Australia a few years before that, touring The Seer with Swans, and it was during this tour that I’d had the fortune to meet him. Since that time Norman and I have worked on a number of projects together. He very kindly played some of the central themes on my Cruel Optimism album and I had the pleasure to produced his After Vacation Album. Last year Norman shared a multichannel live recording with me from a to…
The Harbour of the Broken Hearted
In times when arbitrariness, absolutist madness and the pressure to reject each other are boiled up into some kind of new normality, it sometimes feels as if you are doomed to drown in your sea of sorrows. Until you manage to resist the maelstrom, once again. To focus on the good and the beautiful, and to nurture it stout-heartedly. Nobody said, it’s gonna be easy. On his fifth album, Bruch seems to draw an analogy between the sea and life with his choice of title. The sea itself has never been …
Very Quiet Music To Be Played Very Loudly
To launch the new Lunar Module imprint from Castles In Space, Gordon Chapman-Fox presents us with an album of cinematic ambient music, stepping away from his usual analogue synthesizer tones. “I wanted to stretch my legs and create something more long form, organic and immersive than my Warrington-Runcorn persona” says Gordon. “I hope the title speaks for itself. This is ambient music, but its not background music. This is very much for the foreground. To be played loudly and to lose yourself in…
9th Chrysalis
2011 release ** "Behind the name Revglow hides a very Italian duo formed by the Friulian Francis M. Gri (of All My Faith Lost) and the Milanese singer Lilium. The collaboration has already produced the album Liquid Pearls in 2008 and an EP in 2011 that preceded the album 9th Chrysalis. The Revglow chrysalis hides nine delicate butterflies, ready to take flight. Nine pieces halfway between ambient and electroacoustic, soft, surreal. So simple and linear that they disorientate. A river of notes th…
