This Great Midwestern Darkness
*100 copies limited edition* Collected and composed from 2+ years of improvisations and "digging in the dirt" of a lifetime living in the midwest of the U.S. TGMD offers a pause to witness, imagine, and drift in present time. From the ethereal piano and muted beats of the opening track "O Marfa, Oh" (inspired by a solo pilgrimage to Marfa and the work of Donald Judd), on through to "Mountain", recorded and captured in Colorado (between unfortunate falls from bicycle traveling fast downhill ha). …
It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn
*2024 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Letting yourself be taken and dragged by the sounds that come out of It’s Always Darkest Before The Dawn is like getting lost in your own thoughts and emerging after a brainstorm." - The Sleeping Shaman
Quattro dialoghi fuori campo
*2024 stock. 70 copies limited edition* "Four tracks that correspond to as many aphasic dialogues: the indication coming from the title of Paolo Monti's new work could not be clearer, as well as fully responding to its content. In fact, the Tuscan guitarist, increasingly prolific under the alias The Star Pillow, deliberately places himself 'off-screen' in the (sin)aesthetic observation of defined spaces and, even more so, of fleeting memories and sensations.
The melancholic sublimation of 'Ultim…
Betrayal
*300 copies limited edition* »Betrayal« was originally released on CD by Staalplaat in 1993. »Betrayal« isn't that far removed from Veiled Sisters; while not as minimalist, if not repetitive, as that particular release, »Betrayal« relies on the same basic tools of gentle, steady electronic percussion and low-level bass and keyboard shadings. The most immediate changes lie with the various vocal samples on some of the tracks; while not immediately intelligible per se, you get scraps and hints fro…
Hammer & Sickle
Originally released in 1983, in the same year that the first two Muslimgauze LPs were released, Jones released an obscure 7inch ins a blank black sleeve on a label called Hessian. »Hammer & Sickle« is only release on the label ever – it might have been a camouflaged self-release. »Hammer & Sickle« operates in a similar territory as the mentioned LPs (but if anything a little further out from the main body of Jones’ work): They’re much spacier, more drifting, and notably less interested in using …

Empire Illusion
The Attic Magazine's 'Favorite of 2022' "Too hot to handle. Understandable. An inspiring trip with an uncompromising finisher." - Samer El Abassi
Fabulous Soundtracks
Fabulous Soundtracks, the fourth studio album by reclusive Los Angeles musician Jack Name, is an homage to the IRL world and its twisted and varied romance with the worlds of our minds, in a wild collection of "soundtracks'', each a sonic re-construction dedicated to a distinct scene. Both musically and lyrically, this is Name's most adventurous and genre-defying album. Elements of acid, dance, folk, micro-tonal weirdness, horror, sensuality, impressionism, and bursts of rock fuse with Name's mo…
Unknown City
*300 copies limited release* Creeping through an imaginary border, sidesteppin’ through the night like cyber phantoms eavesdropping on early morning machinery shifts, an industrial solstice for pagan mystics. After five years Torino’s mysterious SabaSaba are back with ‘Unknown City’ an imaginary soundtrack for a dystopian city: digital raga, horror Exotica, half-speed techno, metallic dub and organic electronics. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorot…
Draft 7.30
*2024 stock* "Draft 7.30 is the seventh album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 April 2003 by Warp Records. Around the time of the album's release, Sean Booth stated in an interview that "[rhythm] doesn't seem to limit us in the way it did when we first started"." - Wikipedia
Confield
*2024 stock* "With Confield, Sean Booth and Rob Brown largely abandoned the warm ambient sounds of their earlier works such as Amber and Tri Repetae in favour of more chaotic and abstract sound palettes and methods of composition that they had been pursuing with LP5, EP7, and Peel Session 2. Confield saw the experimental use of computer programs, specifically Max/MSP, to form the basis of songs instead of stand-alone synthesizers. According to Booth, "Most of Confield came out of experiments wit…
Météorismes
Ramuntcho Matta offers us a new vision of his music and, by extension, of his world. Time for oneself and for others. Of the raw and the real. Most of the tracks were recorded with a dictaphone, so as to stay as close to the music as possible. It's a return to basics and simplicity that reveals a voice that is both dense and sub-tile, husky and sensual. Ramuntcho Matta keeps his finger on the pulse, the instant, the present.
Adopting the technique of the Japanese painters - observing before cr…

The music's core is rooted in drone and raga samples complemented by a rich array of ethnic percussions.

There's a notable departure from the usual …

Reste Envie
"To need, to be needed, in four corners. Sleep and privacy, gases come and gases go, and now you are the only one in the room you sit in, you are one with the room you sit in, as if there are no negatives and no positives--did you know that you are an extension of your apartment? Did you know that you are in a codependent relationship with your apartment? Did you know that your apartment knows and appreciates all of your secrets?--I feel safe, which is not a new need for human beings, but a very…
Taboo II
Four new and reworked songs from Wave Temples delivered on a beautifully exotic 7". Further into the jungle, the submissive touch of the deepest thicket. Of beachside oracles and openers to the path of penetrating rituals of night. Moist treasure; Exotic dream. “Wave Temples is more serene than surreal. [...] Wave Temples uses repeated patterns to hypnotizing effect.”J. Edward Keyes - Bandcamp Daily “Warm and creepy, perfect for immersing oneself in” - Blair M - TheLetter.co.uk
