i hold a wish for you
*2025 stock* 'i hold a wish for you' is Aspidistrafly’s first full-length album. A delicate immersion into quiet, reflective spaces, it is inspired by the solitary beauty of Banana Yoshimoto’s novella 'Moonlight Shadow'. Just as Yoshimoto’s prose captures fleeting moments of grief and longing, Aspidistrafly’s album weaves an ethereal tapestry of sound and silence, embracing themes of transience, memory, and the gentle passage of time. Each of the nine tracks melds acoustic instrumentation, whisp…
A Little Fable
*2025 stock* Ahead of the release of Aspidistrafly’s long-awaited new album, their 2011 fan-favourite second album 'A Little Fable' will be reissued on vinyl for the first time. “With a hushed wispy voice in the spirit of Vashti Bunyan, Aspidistrafly have more in common with ambient composers like Max Richter — and, along the way, have found their own leaf-covered path.” wrote NPR Music upon its original release. Now marking the 10th year anniversary of the album, 'A Little Fable' is still being…
Inland See
Hurtling through the perpetual into this moment is the now and future Bitchin Bajas. An effulgent mass located somewhere beyond land or water, Bitchin Bajas' Inland See is flowing toward you, through the hi-fi, arriving with precision extractions of electroacoustic synthesis, revolving in a post-ambient craft that lifts the listener up powerfully, like you’re floating – in saltwater, or helium – effervescent, effortless, elemental.
Frammenti
*150 copies limited edition* The six Fragments of this album are stages of a personal journey, stories, events or moments that marked us and stay inside us like shards, foreign objects we learned to embrace. Mirco Salvadori wrote the stories. Barbara De Dominicis sings, declaims and whispers words and excerpts of the text.
Federico Mosconi composed the music playing guitars, devices, live electronics and field recordings. 'My music would have been incomplete without Barbara and Mirco, I'd like t…
The Ninth Circle Beyond the Sun
*300 copies limited edition* The latest album from Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93 plus known for his work as Nature and Organisation) collects ten pieces which, as with the previous album, 'Until the End of Vibration', released by Lumberton Trading Company, draw from that magical place where crepuscular and moody soundtrack work converges with the kind of synth lines Tangerine Dream made a name for themselves with. Along the way, there are piano-led melodic swells, a couple of surprisi…

Painwave
*2025 stock* Grounded on a imaginary built by the duo, Luís Neto and Pedro Pimentel, where alienation from rigid urban surroundings meets an escapism fueled fantasy and otherwordly mysticism, “Painwave” acts simultaneously as the album title and as a self-coined term that suggests the nuclear ambience of the record. Ranging from sound design infused electronic music to atmospheric jazz fusion with an ever present pop feel, delivering a quasi-cinematic experience which unfolds in a labyrinthine m…
Shichishito
"Shichishito, seven branched sword. The new album from funcionário borrows its name from a ceremonial artifact, invoking an introspective journey through the alleyways of the main plot/blade that make up our own personal life. A precise and melodic brush painting what feels like blank sound canvases. At the 36 minute mark, after all the detours, we find a smooth and polished image, resulting in one unique experience, exactly like the sword aforementioned. In comparison to previous releases, this…
Inaudible Works 1994-2008
What have we here? 16 pieces of hard-to-classify music, created during the period 1994-2008, a cornucopia of playful, intelligent, questing and eminently listenable electronic music from Osaka-born artist Hyu, who released two albums on Nobukazu Takemura's Childisc label, in 1999 and 2002. Although a member of the turn-of-the-century generation of artists subsumed under the rather vague term "electronica", his work stands apart in many ways, particularly in his unique exploration of microtonalit…

Pop
*Back in stock! 2025 repress* "Pop, the album that has become widely recognized as the defining moment in which Wolfgang Voigt brought us into a clearing of his deep, psychedelic forest. A landmark release in the GAS odyssey that drew international attention, Pop was originally released in 2000 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux. Pop was heralded by Pitchfork at the time of release as being “an exercise in sonic texture… pure sonic velvet, the layered drone radiating a palpable warmt…
Beginning
"Beginning" is, appropriately enough, the world-wide solo debut by Japanese percussionist Mari Sekine. She has been active since 2000 with numerous groups and artists, as well as providing music for the theatre. This latter experience is particularly in evidence throughout this piece, with its dramatic shifts and changing scenery, forming a very visual and evocative music with over fifteen percussion instruments entering and leaving the stage in their various roles. Sekine' s voice also takes a …
Ecological Plantron
Ecological Plantron was a CD released in 1994, the audio document of an installation held in 1994 at a gallery in Tokyo. The Plantron is a bioelectric interface developed by botanist Yuji Dogane; it was designed to give voice to plants, using electronic means to make audible the energy of the natural world, prioritizing the non-human aspects of nature. Dogane was assisted in the project by composer Mamoru Fujieda, who helped to convert the vegetal energies into audible sounds. Though they stress…
Mercury Vineyard Surgeries
*100 copies. Hand numbered double sided screen print* There are albums that slip through the cracks of time, becoming mythical objects that collectors whisper about in hushed tones. Grant Corum's Mercury Vineyard Surgeries was one such release - originally dispersed as cassettes during a 2018 tour, these tapes became talismanic objects that suggested an entirely different relationship between composer and listener, between healing and sound. Now, seven years later, Psychic Sounds has recognized …
Once Was Ours Forever
Netherlands-based artist Jonny Nash returns to Melody As Truth with his new solo album, ‘Once Was Ours Forever.’ Building on 2023’s ‘Point Of Entry,’ this collection of eleven compositions draws us further into Nash’s immersive, slowly expanding world, effortlessly connecting the dots somewhere between folk, ambient jazz and dreampop. While ‘Point Of Entry’ was characterised by it’s laid-back, daytime ambience, ‘Once Was Ours Forever’ arrives wrapped in shades of dusk and hazy light, unfolding l…
Vermilion Hours
"Scattered notes seem to stretch time, their repetition and countless combinations evoking (or invoking?) the infinite iridescence of light that accompanies dawn—a ritual as inevitable as it is unpredictable. With his Musique pour le lever du jour, composed over two years and completed in 2017, Melaine Dalibert once described his aim as creating "an infinite piece," without beginning or end. Subtle, intangible, both complex and minimal, the variations forming this hour-long composition—dedicated…
Youth Looks So Good On You
“When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, fluorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my floral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore. Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing."
There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the …
