I'll Look For You In Others
I’ll Look for You in Others is the bittersweet fruit of a painful time in the Portland, Oregon, electronic musician’s life. Patricia Wolf wrote and recorded the album in 2020, in the aftermath of losing her mother-in-law to cancer and then, months later, losing a close friend. Created using her habitual materials—synthesizer and voice—in unfamiliar ways, the album served as a means of processing her feelings of heartbreak.
Feeling disconnected from everything around her, including her usual appr…

*Limited edition of 200 copies. 2022 stock.* "Initial recordings for 'Canticles Of Bliss' started in October of 2019 at my home studio located just south of Indianapolis.

By the beginning of August of that year I had everything wrapped up. An additional guitar was added to a track, as well as a mutated brass recording was featured on another. I us…

Both key proponents to the scene in Northern Europe, they come together with mutual understanding and a common vision to sound.

From Signal to Decay: Volume 2
*250 copies limited edition* With a sound described as ‘astonishing’ by the late writer Mark Fisher, Trevor Mathison’s forte is in the creation of haunting aural landscapes, and the repurposing of existing music—used to significant effect in over thirty award-winning films, and central to this LP, Mathison's debut solo release, which has been thirty years in the making.

The Sun / The Rain
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 107 copies including an orange 7" vinyl.* Note from the label: OEC made an error with the mastering of this album.

Herbstlaub

Blending elements of classical music with electronic textures, the German artist created six pieces that draw on the power of repetition, yet are full of internal tensions and sweeping dynamics.

Quandary
Quandary is a work of electronic music that wants to balance between opposites - nature and technology, human agency and artificial thinking, ritual and machinery. That’s how quandaries emerge, as an impossible choice between two extremes. But music isn’t binary thinking and allows the exploration of obscure connections. Underground, a growing mycelium intersects and communicates with a fiber optic backbone: on the surface, the curtains open, and the quandary may begin to dissolve. Produced in B…
Silent Planet
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* Conceived and composed in two days, 'Silent Planet' is Brendan's first attempt at a fully continuous piece of music. Normally, albums under his Merrin Karras guise take many months, if not years, to put together:
"I wanted to challenge myself to create a mini-album in a short amount of time, not to think too much about it, but just to let it flow and see what happened. Everything was created in one project, but it's comprised of six distinct sections. Several mot…
