Black Mantra
*200 copies limited edition* "Kali, "The Black-One", is the Hindu goddess of death, time, supreme power, destruction and change. She is dark and heartless, the anti-mother with a bloodied face. She is "The One Who Dances", leading the world towards dissolution, end and rebirth. The origins of the Thug clan, stranglers known for their ritual murders, are linked to this karmic cycle. Since the last century, her mysterious charm has inspired literature and cinema, making her a popular figure also i…
Reimagined by Joseph Minadeo
Ten years ago, Warren Kroll, as Forrest, recorded "Beyond the Withered Hills" (i, absentee 2014) - a mesmerizing ambient album of windswept drones and drifts, capturing the essence of a sonic journey through vast and boundless landscapes. The passage of time did not fade its allure, but instead, an audacious remixing endeavor by Joseph Minadeo unleashed its true transformative potential. Like uncovering an underwater relic lost in the depths of the sea, this reimagined creation has birthed a sub…

The Void On A Distant Sun
*200 copies limited edition* The album "the void on a distant sun" aims to be a journey through a closed but infinite space, where a beam of light traverses a cosmos made of dark corridors and empty rooms vast light years away. The three tracks of the album, "il valore dell'attesa", "in absentia", and "apophenia", explore a universe where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurs, and music becomes a bridge between forgotten worlds made of synesthesia and perceptual illusions.
The fir…
Ghost Or White Pavilion
*100 copies limited edition* Timber Rattle has always been mysterious and seclusive. In the past decade, the southwest Virginia-based music project has released an impressive number of cassettes, CD-Rs, LPs and digital-only recordings – sometimes overlapping with other monikers/projects that explore different depths of the same aural spectrum – yet they have managed to stay in the shadows, not prone to share more than necessary. This intimacy is also mirrored in the music: shamanic, meditative a…
Hi Score
Gatos Negros, aka Madrid DJs/ producers Christian C. & Iván Smoka, second album 'Hi Score' is a texture and abstraction gambling project now on sale via Vasco Ispirian's Made in Green Records label. 'Hi Score' sees the duo sailing ethereal ambient soundscapes, shady alt rock waves, experimental grooves almost horizontally danceable, acid electro-pop & avant-garde electronica- all in an utterly smart, consistent, and effective vocal fashion.
The album's fully hybrid and lethargic sonic land star…
Stasis
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* A deposition of cold electronics and harsh frequencies to testify to the perpetual stagnation of reality. Nothing ever changes except the means through which this successful illusion is maintained. "Stasis" is an exploration, in seven chapters, of the diagrams of the power mechanisms caging us in an invisible prison: civilization. From the anointing ritual of ecstatic pain engrafting the mental germ, to its own epiphany, and to the final revelation: the w…
Anabasis
*200 copies limited edition* The new album of Nihil Impvlse, Anabasis, is the drone industrial soundtrack of the constant strife for the pursuit of progress. An ascent chased through conflict and war, mankind's path is oblivious of the past and unaware of the future. Yet, we march on. Amidst haunting clouds of ignorance, across shifting wastelands of history's debris. Our hands are dirty, our legacy is tainted. Yet, we fight on. Unheroic guerrillas in a constantly evolving struggle against space…
Solar Bridge
One of the very finest groups to emerge from the American cassette scene of the mid aughts, Emeralds released Solar Bridge in 2008 as their first run-in with a proper, formal album release.
Fantasy Zone
German musician Mary Yalex debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place depicting a storied transition from our recognizable surroundings, into a vision of the future. With releases and music styles across a variety of labels over the years, it has been Yalex’s more experimental ambient work that has stood out amongst her catalog, and in Fantasy Zone, we find Mary fine-tuning this sound to reflect the work of a true architect of storytelling, mood and atmosphere.
Drawing influences from her day-to-day s…
This home stands on ancient bones
Presenting the latest collaboration of Nigel Ayers (Nocturnal Emissions), PBK, and Allan Zane (WYRM, Nihilist Assault Group), recorded in 2023. The title "This home stands on ancient bones" reminds us that our present world is built upon a history of all that has gone before. Compassion, contrition, repentance—all the layers of emotions that rise from the surface of the earth—mingle and drift through the emptiness, existing all around us. This powerful work captures and embodies these emotions, …
.... And Take The Black Worm With Me
*2023 strock* As a founding member of Dublin experimental folk group Lankum, Ian Lynch explores submerged leylines of music and song. Forging a musical path that is all at once dark, mysterious and foreboding, but ultimately transcendental. His new solo project One Leg One Eye sees him taking a fresh approach to musical arrangement culminating in a sound that is more rooted in the raw aesthetics of second wave black metal than contemporary folk. The project was born across 2021, a period in whic…
Distance
*2023 stock* Erasers is the duo of Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas out of Noongar boodja (Perth, Western Australia). Their sound is buzzy and earthy; awash in humming synthesizers, droning organs, zoned-out vocals and hypnotic melodies. Their latest, “Distance” was written and recorded at home over a few weeks in mid 2021 and like its title suggests, the tones evoke vast open topography; rolling deserts and misty, endless coastline. Differentiating from past releases, the duo’s sound expands o…
Crème de la Deutz
Crème de la Deutz are a desire freeway and palm lodging. Mousy trees yearning for shell stars. During the release phase Crème de la Deutz will show an exhibition at Matjö, Cologne as well as perform at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf / Salon des Amateurs and at Temporary Gallery, Cologne on the occasion of Düsseldorf Cologne Open Gallery Weekend.
Atheistsaregods
More than a decade after the release of 'Land Lines', the mythical Humboldt County, California based duo of Brian Pyle and Merrick McKinlay reappears seemingly out of nowhere with 'Atheistsaregods'. With past releases on such cult-like labels as Root Strata, Weird Forest, Blackest Rainbow or Digitalis, Starving Weirdos were an indelible part of a sprawling and loose network of artists in Northern America whose DIY work ethic and extreme activity revolved around shoestring-budget constant touring…
Free Time / Dead Time
Free Time/dead Time is the first full-length 12" LP from Robbie Judkins’ long-running experimental sound project Left Hand Cuts Off The Right. The album combines elements of focused minimalism, experimental electronics and twitching musique concrete to create a series of meditative compositions that reflect on the precarious boundaries between labour, leisure, and the quality of lived experience under late-capitalism. Judkins exploratory practice of sonic experimentation invokes the work of Blac…
Environments
Opal X’s Environments is a deep droning meditation on the polar vortex and computer generated environments. Recorded on the Prophet 8 synthesiser in weeks where temperatures dropped to -8° in subzero South London, Opal X conjures a hallucinatory snowstorm where material and augmented realities coalesce. Environments is mastered by the ice cold Amir Shoat. Following previous releases for The Tapeworm and Industrial Coast — and building on the topographical rust of the Nonexistent project — Enviro…
Break Down
Brachliegen are proud to present Break Down, the first release from Sakostamu, the collaborative project of Vasilis Sakkos (Casual Nun) and Tasos Stamou. The pair layer chanting vocal groans, wandering bells, weaving drones and haunting plucked strings through a four track tape recorder; this ritualised process builds a rich textual palette, burrowing deep to create a den of sonic transcendence, a place where shared cultural histories and individual wounds are broken down and confronted. A work …
scree
Scree is two heaving slabs of feral tone from Heavy Cloud, inspired by the immense natural forces at work on the Cornish coastline. Tidal waves and searing sunlight batter and erode, crack and burn the ever shifting topography of the country’s precarious fringe over 21 minutes of processed heavy electronics. Scree is a pair of noise ‘landscrapes’ in-spirited by the Cornish coastline, formed over time from eroding loops and voices, processed field recordings and found sounds. Heavy Cloud observes…
