Ashes
When war erupted in Ukraine, French sound sculptor Lambwool found himself overtaken by an overwhelming surge of fear and anxiety. The escalating threat of nuclear disaster, the looming specter of global conflict, and the harrowing imagery of destruction awakened in him a long-buried childhood trauma: the paralyzing terror of an impending apocalypse. For ten days following the outbreak of war, Lambwool was engulfed in a state of absolute panic. Searching for a way to purge these suffocating emoti…

Where Trees Go To Die
Emerging from the solitude of a remote Spanish mountain hamlet, Stone Anthem announces the release of its latest album, Where Trees Go To Die—a dense and captivating journey through organic textures, dissonant beauty, and meditative drones. Crafted in the quiet embrace of forests and the echo of stillness, the album reveals a profound synthesis of ambient trailblazers’ influence, decaying industrial landscapes, and the raw vulnerability of psychedelia.
Embracing imperfection as a creative force,…
WVLT
WVLT is the newest sonic addition from WNDFRM (Portland-based, Tim Westcott), an album of eight distinct explorations exploring the many facets of experimental IDM. Tim Westcott’s practice is rooted in an acute, nearly forensic attention to sound. Subtle tones, sculpted drones, and lean percussive gestures, always pursued with a patient ear and obsession with sound design. With previous releases on Prologue, Home Normal, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings, and several live performances at Mutek, a new …
Convex Umbra
C. Lavender (Lavender Suarez) is an interdisciplinary sound artist, sound healing practitioner, and educator based in New York City. Bandcamp asserted that "C.

Aeropsia
Steve Hauschildt returns after 6 years with a new album titled Aeropsia. After a transcontinental relocation from the US to Tbilisi, Georgia, the electronic composer emerges from a personal and global transformation to explore themes of perceptual distortion, disconnection, and renewal.
Aeropsia (which roughly translates as “seeing the air”) refers to a visual phenomenon in which objects appear to float or shimmer, often due to changes in pressure, perception, atmospheric shifts or neurological …
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel II
36 and Zake follow up the epic work of Stasis Sounds For Long Distance Space Travel Part 1 with another eighteen chapters "of aural anesthetics" which "continue their journey through the outer reaches of space in hypersleep." The album comes in different coloured versions and this yellow copy boasts the sort of grainy and immersive ambient that immediately takes you out into the farthest reaches of space. It's widescreen and cinematic and makes for the sort of journeying album that is perfect fo…
Taking The Veil
*2025 stock* 'Taking the Veil' marks the debut solo album from Berlin-based musician Hior Chronik, following his work as part of the duo Pill-Oh on 'Vanishing Mirror.' The essence of Hior Chronik’s sound remains intact on 'Taking the Veil,' with its bitterly romantic strings and delicate electronics whispering over mournful piano melodies. Hior Chronik has a penchant of producing subtly immense and cinematic compositions which are remarkably chilling in its beauty. Continuing along his distincti…
Frammenti
*150 copies limited edition* The six Fragments of this album are stages of a personal journey, stories, events or moments that marked us and stay inside us like shards, foreign objects we learned to embrace. Mirco Salvadori wrote the stories. Barbara De Dominicis sings, declaims and whispers words and excerpts of the text.
Federico Mosconi composed the music playing guitars, devices, live electronics and field recordings. 'My music would have been incomplete without Barbara and Mirco, I'd like t…
Mentocome
Edition of 300. Sold out at the label. In the twilight territories where industrial decay meets visionary electronics, certain recordings emerge from the shadows carrying the weight of forgotten futures. Such is the case with Mentocome's self-titled album from 1992, a spectral transmission from Düsseldorf's underground that has remained largely obscured for over three decades until now. This haunting collection of post-industrial chamber works represents one of the most enigmatic and prescient …
Throwing Shapes
*300 copies limited edition* From the innovative visionaries Méabh McKenna, Ross Chaney, and WRWTFWW mainstay Gareth Quinn Redmond emerges Throwing Shapes—the self-titled debut album of a genre-defying new project set to captivate listeners worldwide. Throwing Shapes is a mesmerising, sonically rich exploration that artfully blends tradition with experimentation.
At the heart of the album lies the evocative timbre of the Irish wire-strung harp, masterfully played and reimagined within modern con…

Rückverzauberung im Tunnel
Wolfgang Voigt makes a return to Astral Industries, seeing the continuation of his long-running Rückverzauberung (Reverse Enchantment) series. In line with previous volumes, one may expect the unconventional, idiosyncratic sound Voigt is reputed for. ‘Im Tunnel’ however, takes a more concentrated viewpoint - a metaphysical transmutation that brings with it an experience of mind-melting drones and swelling intensity.
Entering the tunnel is like opening a portal, but as the fabric of time-space b…
Temps Boro
"It all originates from a state between dream and reality - a drunkenness. Each title alludes to something blurry, abstract, or even unfinished. The next day, you wake up and don't know if what you did was, or simply wasn't. A distinctive endeavor with a somewhat lo-fi filter, featuring ambient touches, experimental dub elements, and holistically defined as avant-garde." New identity for new music, Bastien is part of anonymous Barcelona. And little more can be said about him.
Ao Ser Sereno
To be human is to be in flux. It is to exist at the intersection of order and chaos, between structure and dissolution, between noise and silence. Identity does not anchor itself to a single moment; it oscillates, vibrates, dissolves, and re-emerges, like a sound echoing through time, shaping itself within the landscape of its own meta-stability. Identity is not a fixed code, nor a stable structure that accompanies us from the beginning. Were it purely contained within genetic material, identica…
Duvet
In the winter of 2023, Ingri Høyland and Ida Urd retreated to a Danish sommerhus, or summer house—the tiny, tidy shacks that are a central feature of the national culture, where for generations, Danes have whiled away the warm months with their families. Picture the scene: an abiding quiet all around. Gardens carpeted by snow; beach grass silvery against the silvery sky; a tendril of smoke rising from the chimney. Not another soul in earshot. This sanctuary was the origin for Høyland and Urd’s D…
Aix Em Klemm
2025 stock As Adam Wiltzie told Sadness Is In The Sky fanzine, his collaboration with Donne began when “we all met during a Texas swing of a Labradford tour that Stars Of The Lid opened for back in 1996. They stayed at my house for a few days and we became close.” A year later Wiltzie was asked to join Labradford for their Mi Media Naranja European tour of 1997 as the sound technician. This tour also included Bruce Gilbert of the legendary band Wire who was the opening act and joined them in the…
Albus
EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…
horizonte
*300 copies limited edition* Funcionário delights in the freedom of creating freeform music for the first time in his career. On “horizonte”, he loosens the reins, his sound follows a wavy, organic structure rather than a rigid, formal one. If it feels freer and more colourful, that’s because it truly is. Eight years ago, when we first encountered his work, he was composing soundtracks for imaginary video games and crafting sonic landscapes that felt like destinations for sci-fi anime characters…
A New Life
A New Life is not an album. It does not belong to a ‘genre.’ Not aesthetic, not ironic, not for consumption. Not intellectual—it is felt. It speaks from coherence—structure beneath the noise. Grief, anger, stillness are not flaws here—they belong. Featuring harp and saxophone by Róisín and Cathal Berkeley. A return to truth. To be human without the mask. Integrated, not performed or bypassed. "May we all live freely, knowing that all is well— ever was, ever will be. Not by ignoring what’s here, …
