Bombinate
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* After releasing Indite at Moving Furniture Records (April of 2015), the first one with MFR but the band’s second album, Haarvöl began a series of conceptual, somehow interconnected projects, restricting the boundaries of the sonic ambience to a very concise one.  This long process gave birth to three albums, each one having a very particular sonic approach but knitted in a personal Haarvöl sound idiosyncrasy, which gives the trilogy a thread that intertwi…

Cheophiori
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Accrual is the duo of Ruaridh Law (TVO) on electronics and Alasdair Satchel on guitar.

The debut album by Accrual "Cheophiori" was first released as CD-R on French label Diesel Combustible. It was so difficult to get the CD-R and the artwork was full with mistakes that this really needed an updat…

Grieve
*50 copies edition* "Drekka's debut full-length, "Grieve", was release on August 24th, 1996. This was the day of my friend Phil Perry's funeral and the first copy was buried with him. Phil was one of the earliest and most enthusiastic supporters of my initial attempts towards making music, always honest and constructive when I was failing and always encouraging when I was making progress. Today, on the 25th anniversary of its release, I am unsure how I feel. I have created a body of work from th…

Ten Times The World Lied
"Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, is undoubtedly among the greatest and most prolific artists in the world, whose music directly affects the heart, soul, and human mind. His soundscapes spread in the air as if they were delicate and slow movements of the northern lights, or the wind that blows on the flowers of the trees in spring. There is something divine in bvdub's music, and Glacial Movements is more than honored to welcome another great work for the world, Ten Times the World Lied, his fifth album…
