Everything Falls Apart
“In fact, the more I try to escape, the less I can breathe. The more I try to hold on, the less I can focus. Something’s leaving me. Parts of me. Everything falls apart.” - Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
Estrada Longa
Feedback Moves returns with the reissue of Estrada Longa by Vasco Alves, originally released in 2021 on Cafe Oto’s digital label, Takuroku.
Xerrox Vol.3
2024 stock CD Version. After a break following the 2009 release of Xerrox Vol. 2, Alva Noto continues his Xerrox series with Xerrox Vol. 3, titled Towards Space. This is a journey that started with Xerrox Vol. 1 (R-N 078CD, 2007), referring to the "old world," and Xerrox Vol. 2, heading "to the new world." Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data by means of endless reproduction. Due to the inherent vice of the procedure that becomes especial…

Oxide Manifesto
"Oxide Manifesto is intended as an audio sketchbook, which explores a particular method of creating music. It aims to link obsolete machines and experimental composition. In recording it, I embraced as many techniques of working with magnetic tape as possible. I gave myself the freedom to lean into the perceived flaws of tape as a recording format. Often we hear ‘it’s not about the equipment’. But on this album the equipment is in equal focus to the music. Wow, flutter, wonky pitch, abrupt edits…
Without Blinking
Angelo Harmsworth's lands on Warm Winters Ltd. with his newest album titled 'Without Blinking', imbued, as usual, with a kind of gentle de(con)struction. Comprising of two longer compositions and a shorter piece featuring Felisha Ledesma, 'Without Blinking' is music on the verge of collapse, barely held together by its syrupy textures, intoxicated rhythmic gestures and characteristically raw emotionality. It's Harmsworth trying to map the limits of the senses, playing with our perceptions of tim…
Only Good Dreams For Me
On “Love2,” the second track on Zaumne’s 'Only Good Dreams For Me', Natalia Panzer’s voice emerges from a hazy smear of a pop-song chorus: “I am touching the cold window,” she intones. “I am touching the spinning walls. It’s a way to remember what’s mine is yours, and back again.” 'Only Good Dreams For Me', Zaumne’s first release with Warm Winters Ltd., embraces such direct contact as it cycles through states, from dread to hope. The heavy air that lingered on Zaumne’s previous releases, like hu…
The Magic Place
Julianna Barwick's The Magic Place, is a nine-piece full-length album of magic and solace, bursting joy and healing tones. Julianna's mostly-a-capella music is built from her voice multi-tracked through a loop station. There's more backing instrumentation on this one than on previous albums but it's the vocals—soaring high in reverb-drenched, wordless harmonies—that matter most here. It's the layered fragments and pieces that become an intricate pattern through technology; it's the sound of a ri…
Disconnect
Twin heavyweights Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) unite for Disconnect, a powerful study of dread, hope, and profound sonics that marries depth-trawling dub with Kamaru’s voice, ambient sensibilities, and negative space. Kevin Martin first became aware of Kenyan ambient musician KMRU “watching the short 2020 documentary Under The Bridge,” he tells us. “Which, aside from immediately finding Joseph's approach to sound and music so instantly impressive, I also found his spok…

"Psychic Sounds welcomes the premiere publication of Chilean based musician, and animator Anibal Bley’s debut as Lavina Yelb. Originally released as a digital download in 2010, ‘Apapneas Hypmne Somome’ has finally found its way to physical media to bump & bounce in decks directly to your dome. ”Lavina Yelb’s world is inhabited by 8-bit characters, self-flapping blankets that shape-shift into and out of a plethora of cartoon morphologies and stroboscopic blocks and lines of color. Cheap keyboards…
We Could For Hours
2008 release ** 199 copies limited edition. Original 2007 CD copies repackaged in a new cover. The old A Silent Place warehouse was flooded by water, so a big amount of goods has been destroyed, in particular the original covers and all printed matters. Few original CD copies were saved and now found, so a new edition has been released. Packaged in a new redesigned cover. "We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and…
Ploutonion
*150 copies limited edition* "One to Many, Brightness to Darkness, Memory to Oblivion.Pluton Helios or Apollo Helios? When Massimo Pupillo and ILIOS visited the ancient site of Eleusis, Greece in 2019, Ploutonion (the entrance to the underworld) was their final destination. Recordings of the Ploutonion project started right after and were heavily inspired from the juxtaposition of the ancient and current state of things. The entrance to the underworld does not produce any poisonous emissions any…
Polar Code
Glacial Movements is pleased to present Polar Code, the debut album by Italian multidisciplinary artist Lia Bosch, which is also the first work by a woman to be released in Glacial Movements' almost 20 years of activity. Polar Code is a project where narrative, visuals, and music blend into an immersive and conceptual experience. Bosch personally oversaw every aspect of the creation: she composed the album, conceived the narrative, and crafted the accompanying visuals, creating a multi-dimension…
Sacrificator / Scarificator
Sainerine is known in Vancouver for live performances involving self-mortification with an industrial staple gun. These wounds of purity and obedience are drained on their debut tape, “Sacrificator / Scarificator”. Raised in institutions of Catholicism and classical music, they perform what they know: blood and opera. Synth arrangements weep over rich vocals and pained harmonies, alongside elements of noise that rip into the belly of this confessional. The artist negotiates a constricted past, s…
Ashes
Coming from Genoa, Italy, Regen Graves (guitarist/drummer of death-doom band Abysmal Grief) brings his solo dark ambient project to Bent Window. "Ashes" presents expansive soundscapes for the dreary years. Cities that lay wasted in ashes from above have a soundtrack with this latest effort.
Witchcraft
*200 copies limited edition* The track Witchcraft was originally released by SSS Production on a C25 cassette in 1989. Eighth Tower Records brings to light, re-releasing on CD, this esoteric industrial gem by Capricorni Pneumatici, along with three entirely unreleased tracks. Witchcraft was largely inspired by reading the Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guazzo from 1608, in a copy of the famous 1929 Rodker edition edited by Montague Summers. The track was created using the DX7 synth, t…
Where the Word is Never
*300 copies limited edition* If anybody has been paying attention (and in my opinion they bloody well should…), they might be aware that Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Breathless announced several years ago that he planned to do a solo CD every year for as long as he could. His solo guise as Kleistwahr started in the early 1980s as a more directly noise/post-industrial-inspired project that saw a few limited edition cassette releases appear on his much respected Broken Flag imprint. While these casset…
