Conocido
Here are moments where growth and decay are indistinguishable, when it’s hard to say for sure if you’re falling to pieces or watching a sublime pre-language unfold. Lyrels’ 'Conocido' is this riddle frozen in time and expanded. Its five tracks are a seamless meditation not on how it is that something becomes nothing, or how nothing is built back into something once again, but on the very real power of that thin sliver of meaning that lies in-between. 'Conocido' exists in a space unafraid of dest…
A Night Residue
Four-panel offset printed j card with photography by Katie Day Weisberger and professionally dubbed chrome tape. Edition of 100. Recording in a bedroom studio in the very late evening on the brink of slumber, Pentros wanders the off-roads between electronic and acoustic spaces. In its improvisational unfolding, A Night Residue evokes the contingent atmosphere of dreams- aural atmosphere paradoxically defined by a cloud of melodic fragments. Disparate elements coalesce in moments of sharp lucidit…
Lived In
Lived In, by Pacific Northwest-based artist Gabriel Celestino Higgins, is a densely meditative work that initially seems concerned with drones, but which upon further investigation slowly reveals layers of submerged harmonies throughout a landscape of curiously degraded sound. Delicately strummed guitar notes supply an almost imperceptible emotional momentum to the music that begins to create an interesting tension within the listener. There's an almost palpable sense of one's self inhabiting a …
William Suran
William Suran’s eponymous release is his second solo offering and the first with Love All Day. Suran (whose primary practice is as a visual artist) studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute and now resides in Brooklyn where he makes extremely labor intensive and exquisitely rendered old-master level water color paintings of flowers, some of which have taken up to seven years to complete. Along with his painting materials, Suran keeps eight vintage tape echo machines and a guitar in his B…
Correct Line
Andrew Cowie of Angel Eyes (Bedroom Suck, Not Not Fun) brings new material as Match Fixer to Nice Music for the first release proper under this name on 'Attempts' - four epic dialogues dense with the weight of information, experience and tumult. Cowie's frantic tempos affectingly mimic the relentlessness of time passing in the modern age, unforgiving and mechanically moving forward despite the emotional distraction emanating from its core. Impossibly forlorn synth pads routinely swell and warble…

Madrugada
Nice Music presents the debut full length from Melbourne's Simon J Karis, 'Madrugada' - an all-encompassing work, earnestly detailing the anatomy of the nighttime psyche. Karis has crafted an ambitious narrative arc, tangible through the presence of sculpted sound and ecstatic melody alone rather than words or literal description. Visceral thought patterns both fleeting and consuming during leisure time swarm and writhe for their place; ingrained neurosis, the pursuit of pleasurable life experie…

Death Ovary Traces
Reissue of Argiope’s debut cassette, released by Slaughter Productions in 1994 following a small run on the artist’s own Atom Institute label. Argiope project was born after Marco Corbelli proposed that Federico De Caroli / Deca record a release for Slaughter.
While Deca’s albums were still quite industrial, dark music, he felt that Marco deserved a much more extreme production than anything Deca recorded up to that point. The result was Argiope's debut release Death Ovary Traces, a work of depr…
