Shadow garden, a moonlit anthology of contemporary DIY guitar music.
Ascension
*180 copies limited edition* Venice Affair seeks only to give humans a look into their own lives, history, suffering, and peace, all while providing a backbeat sprinkled with sexuality, romanticism, and especially entertainment. The concept of “Ascension” is much larger than a description of upward motion; it is the human description of our evolution from four to two, from caves to high rises, from child to elder, and from stardust to flesh. This collection of songs has been in the works since 2…
The Minutes Hours / Les Heures Secondes
The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes is the sixth album of Belgian solo act Half Asleep. Recorded at home with friends, The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes took over a decade to bring to fruition. This is an ambitious album, more spacious and bold than its predecessors, often taking unexpected paths and detours. Built around Valérie’s guitar and piano, Half Asleep's crepuscular acoustic universe is however still very much and recognizably her own. It is here augmented by a textured cello, a…
Rootless & Starbirthed
"This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupço…
La Macchia
This new chapter of Baccano intertwines the sonic roots of Southern Italy with contemporary musical languages, thanks to the collaboration between two artists who, despite coming from different backgrounds, share an intense exploration of traditional rhythms.
In The Land Of Melancholy
2000 release ** "In The Land Of Melancholy as the band's first official release is to present it - in the musicians' intention - from the most accessible side. Hence, the album mainly features atmospheric ballads. However, it is easy to read in them the band's wealth of experience, passion and inspiration. The psychedelic tradition of the 60s is complemented by the spatiality of electronic sounds, which refers to the cosmic German psychedelia of the early 70s (e.g. Cosmic Jokers), or its contemp…
Lobelia
2011 release ** "Black Eagle Child has the uncanny ability to marry pastoral post-folk – high humidity front porch rambles to sparse and exploratory arpeggios that are thick with pathos and tinged with nostalgia for the disappearing horizon of definable memories – and soaring guitar lines that ascend above the field recordings and layers of looped acoustic and electric guitars. Lobelia creates emotional landscapes of great loss combined with those flying dreams that we have where we are soaring …
Me And The White Lash
2012 release ** Packaged in fabric sleeve. "Behind Me And The White Lash are Stefano De Ponti of Passo Uno and Eleonora Pellegrini. The project accentuates on one hand the ambient/soundtrack vocation of Passo Uno, on the other it merges it with more traditional forms, giving life to gentle and dry “songs”, almost folk one might write, during which you can appreciate Eleonora’s voice: the contemplative “The Island”, for example, not to mention a sorrowful “La Morte Del Tocco”. Part of this materi…
Three:four Split Series Volume 3
2025 Stock. Last copies. Annelies Monseré always has had the urge to record many versions of one song and then remaining deeply in doubt which version to choose. For this release, she did not chose. (Though this is not completely true - there are still more versions of the song - including an a cappella version) She was interested in how different arrangements, tempo's, melodies and structures changed the expressive and aesthetic qualities of the song, convinced that no version is more 'essentia…
Un Pensiero Intrusivo
A name that breathes, a voice that whispers and howls in soliloquy. Collecting the echoes that follow—field recordings from Colombia, murmured poems, the spectral songs of birds—she stitches together a sonic diary, an audible thread between past and present. Like the shifting landscapes of Colombian magical realism, she bends nature as memory bends truth. From this alchemy arises Un Pensiero Intrusivo: seven folk incantations, captured live in Cagliari, Italy.
A new genre, steeped in something u…
Sister, Brother, Lover....
*2025 Stock* Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing (with obi strip) – including two bonus tracks - housed in single tip-on linen paper sleeve. Includes four page insert with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Brian Young. Originally issued by Regal Zonophone in 1971, this highly sought after release has never been reissued on LP officially. The band's sound has been likened to that of the twin lead guitar style of Help Yourself/early Wishbone Ash with refined vocals. The songs are spiced with ta…
Faint At The Loudest Hour
2001 release ** "Faint at the Loudest Hour is the astonishing solo debut by guitarist Alexander Turnquist, part of a young generation of guitar players who have taken their incredible virtuosity and turned it into something actually worth listening to. Like James Blackshaw, Jack Rose, Glenn Jones, etc, this could roughly be described as "raga" guitar, with its long, modal compositions and hypnotic overtone play. Unlike most of his peers, Alex employs a variety of extended techniques ala Hans Rei…
Music For Massage II
Recorded and released in 1987, the original cassette bore a minimalist plum tree design on the cover and music soothing to match. There are only 2 confirmed copies of the original cassette, one of them was used in the restoration and revival of this classic new age album.
Five years after the New Age cult-classic album Music For Massage hit the shelves, it’s sequel was silently released. Never intended for consumer sale, Music For Massage II was only known to a select few masseuses and tape coll…
Weft
Blue Lake’s new offering ‘Weft’ sees its creator Jason Dungan unearth new musical terrain with a mini-album which presents the projects evolution. Finding inspiration in the craft of weaving and embracing a collective spirit as a band leader, all while readying a new studio album expected later in 2025. The earthy title track ‘Weft’ emerges with a sense of ease and familiarity as looping guitar riffs in open tunings bed in around a warm cello pulse that provides the essential heartbeat. These in…
The Island of Bouncy Memories, NigmaEnigma (2LP Bundle)
Drawing upon deep pools of meaning, woven into poetic states of abstract, electroacoustic sonority, Hundebiss returns with two stunning new LPs: “NigmaEnigma أنيجم النَجم”, the debut solo offering by the Egyptian composer, multi-instrumentalist, writer, and singer, Abdullah Miniawy, and “The Island of Bouncy Memories”, the latest offering from the Italian enigma Ciro Vitiello. Each of them is a freestanding world, rooted in deeply personal and culturally specific creative explorations, issued in…
The Third of May
Kim David Bots and Lyckle de Jong met in the water-basin of one of the earliest concrete structures in the Netherlands, a bunker that was part of Amsterdam’s defensive line, built around the 1890’s. Something that used to house water was now empty. For three days they recorded improvised music that is still on a hard drive somewhere. Since then they have performed and recorded together, with a bunch of releases still to come. The third of May was written and recorded in 2020 over the course of s…
The Island of Bouncy Memories
Big Tip! Memories are, to say the least, complex. They can weigh us down like stones or be treasured in their unresolved ambivalence. In Ciro Vitiello’s debut album, they take on a dynamic and elusive nature, both bouncy and tricky, moving away when approached and dipping into the haze of the subconscious. Dreams, in turn, find their shape through memory itself. The Island Of Bouncy Memories is, for Vitiello, a place populated by reveries and hypnagogic impressions, interwoven with the imprints …
För Alltid
*80 copies limited edition* 'För alltid' is an album about time. The fuzzy & shapeless memories floating without coherence. Shortwave radio recordings picking up unbroken codes from the past. Hopeful voices whispering about a possible future from a hopeless now.

Trouvé Perdu
*100 copies limited edition* For his 4th solo album, Gilles Poizat continues his highly personal musical adventures, finding a fertile partner in interactive electronics. Twists, bounces, suspensions, random rhythms, multiple modulations. The sounds he plays come back transformed into a mutant orchestra, pulsing and chaotising his floating songs and stimulating his improvisations.
