A Merchant's Nightmare
After outings on Altered States, Kashual Plastik and Freuyd & Verdrusz, Berlin three piece Primitive Structures find a home on Krim Kram for this suite of nine fresh spontaneous compositions.
Both band name and album title hint at a sense of humor and self-mockery that's not always associated with the trio's German passports or with experimental/Avantgarde music in general. Meanwhile, the music itself could at parts be understood as indeed very serious exploration of decrepit and barren, post-in…
Curve Totem
'Physique is Neil Quigley (Kilkenny, IRL) and Sam Scranton (Chicago, IL). Together they make music by any and all means. Truly, no sound or technique is off limits as they assemble compositions that combine rich, warm sonic atmospheres with musical objects of objectively bad taste. Curve Totem, for release on 4/2/2021, is their debut album as a duo. Their magpie approach to composition builds novel musical landscapes from homemade instruments, Text-To-Speech and AI voices, lap steel guitar, Able…
Lesson No. 1
After cutting his teeth in the late '70s No Wave scene with bands Theoretical Girls and The Static, Glenn Branca made his first solo statement, Lesson No. 1, in 1980. The inaugural release on legendary post-punk / dance label 99 Records, Lesson No. 1 unveils Branca's visionary guitar concepts with two monstrous, side-long compositions that helped forge NYC's downtown art-punk sound and acted as a massive influence on countless young groups, including Sonic Youth and Swans.
The title track is eas…
Walking On Rubber Eggshells
"Was it a dream or a memory? The images are hard to grasp in your mind. You can recall the surroundings, though it feels like you have never been here. Jamais vu, you read about it somewhere. There is a table and on the table food, almost all eaten. Saliva grows soft in your mouth as you stare at this last piece on the plate. It seems to stare back at you. Are you alone? Or are there others? You see men of retirement age, who spend their time watching, with hands clasped behind their backs, offe…
End Credits Noumena
Offerings is a new project from Bruno Silva (Ondness, Serpente) and Gonçalo F. Cardoso (Lagoss, Prophetas, Hannibal Chew III). Born from a shared obsession with the peripheral—rain puddles, empty city spaces and the flickering crawl of late-night credits—the album occupies a stalled threshold; a space that refuses to resolve into a clear image. It does not strive for the "new" nor the "old"; it exists in a state of suspension, like end credits that refuse to roll, fixed in a permanent noumenal s…
Aeroplane Chess
Pierre Bastien and Christophe Petchanatz (aka Klimperei) met more than twenty years after their last musical collaboration. “Aeroplane Chess”—what is that? It’s the Hong Kong name for the universal game known here as “Ludo.” Pierre and Christophe play together here on sixteen simple, stripped-down tracks. They pass back and forth their figurines made of melodies, sounds, and rhythms, creating a minimal yet dense ensemble, with nothing missing from these two record jockeys. It brings to mind the …
Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems
With Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, the ever elusive and shape-shifting Thomas Bush offers up a new album of category scrambling song craft. Since earlier solo efforts like Old And Red (2018), Preludes (2022) and The Next 60 Years (2024), Bush—currently based in Malmö—has traced a digressive path that has proven him capable of everything from murky wobbling dirges to uptight head-bopping laments to crystalline synth chords that hang precariously in the air over your new favourite bass …
Testing the Waters
On Testing the Waters, crys cole follows water through five electroacoustic chapters of drift, friction and slow transformation. Field recordings, instruments and electronics seep into one another, forming a 2023 WDR 3 commission where trickles, resonances and submerged textures continually retune the ear, making movement feel tactile, uncertain and quietly alive.
Drum'n' Modular Progress
A live album featuring the best tracks from the tour undertaken in April 2026 by the improvisational duo Tatsuya Yoshida and Ichiraku Yoshimitsu is set to be released. Tatsuya Yoshida, known for his overwhelming performance style that makes heavy use of odd time signatures and is powerful, polyrhythmic, and brimming with speed, teams up with Ichiraku Yoshimitsu－who deploys everything from his custom modular system to LEDs, lasers, and even drones to counter with ruthless, rule-breaking technique…
Quatre instantanés d'un tapeur à gages
Antoine Alcaraz is a French electroacoustic composer based in Paris whose work lies at the intersection of acousmatic composition, performance, and experimental sound practices. He specialized in electroacoustic composition in 2019 at the CRR de Paris, studying notably with Denis Dufour, and developed a compositional style informed by dialogue with poetry, the visual arts, and imagery. In 2024, he composed “Près de Nous,” an audiovisual piece adapted from a text by Virginia Woolf. Since Septembe…
Music and Words (3CD Bundle)
Gathered as a three‑disc bundle, Adam Bohman’s Music and Words series reads like a sprawling, decades‑deep diary of the British underground. Domestic cassette experiments, found‑object acoustics and stream‑of‑conscious monologues mutate across volumes 1–3 into a fiercely idiosyncratic universe where language, noise and everyday detritus share equal weight, turning one man’s tape habit into a major work of experimental autobiography.This Bohman’s Bundle contains:- Music and Words- Music and Words…
Industrial Relations
Strung-out yet precise. Introverted but with something to say. Industrial Relations is a further unraveling of the stories untold left lingering around the Piedmont capital. Cloistered away behind one of Turin’s many crumbling doorways, a basic studio set-up alongside a scattering of found photos and a type-writer forms the backbone of this bureau.
Noticeably more barbed than its predecessor Chamber Music, drums are frayed and left to splutter. Grungy guitar chords come in at angles, occasiona…
Death Drug And TV Screen
Started out as a sideproject to Incipientium and The Family Men, Gustav Danielsbackas' Future Chemicals has slowly evolved into its own ugly thing, exploring his passion for video culture and dystopian, technological havoc. Death Drug And TV Screen was initially meant as a soundtrack for a film started in 2022 that got forever stuck in limbo. Saved from the production room vortex, Discreet Music now presents the whole, massive thing in its mind-melting entirety. Clocking in on almost 70 ambitiou…
Telegogue
On Telegogue, Charlie Thall detonates a 29‑minute, eleven‑track riot of cartoonishly surreal genre‑mashups that feel born and bred in the infinite remix lab of the digital DIY. Frenetic keys, MIDI drums and warped child voices collide into neurotic, hyper‑danceable earworms that treat the internet’s trash heap as sacred compositional mulch.
Slow Diet Ketamine Era
On Slow Diet Ketamine Era, New York City Chapters and Weird Shit U.S.A. 2 yank sampledelia into a sleazy, rubble‑strewn mixtape fever dream. Two thirty‑minute collages of chopped‑and‑screwed B‑side rips, plundered dollar‑bin grooves and neon grime‑slime hip‑hop loops sketch a pitch‑black, hysterical fiction from the sidewalk’s ignored edge.
A Body of Water
On A Body of Water, Kaloja - the duo of Jan Anderzén and Paul Wilson - summon a strangely pastoral, hyper‑alive electronic ecosystem. Psychedelic synthesis, physical modelling and impressionistic sound‑painting converge into abstract figures that ripple through an unstable yet welcoming landscape, like sentient currents moving beneath a calm surface.
Ramraid At The Wiggly Worm
Brighton artist and producer Stephen Maskell - moonlighting as Violet Cowboy - returns with an epic sixth release on Kit Records. Ramraid at the Wiggly Worm finds the sonic sculptor in playful mood, thumbing the flipbook through mulchy blues guitar, gothic storytelling, elasticated dub and gossamerlike classical minimalism.
Maskell's flow state seems to exist in the pocket where genres meld, and no sound is safe or sacred. His archive slops like a bargain bin of British culture, topped up on gle…
A Sucked Orange
*100 copies limited edition* Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP pic…
Where the fish are as fine as the color of colors
Wistful meta-folk from the American Midwest, self-published by US musician and occasional ANF customer Erik Kramer - totally floored by this.
Shoot And Crucify
The third tape on the fledgling Cold Spring label, 'Shoot And Crucify' was released back in 1988 in an edition of just 50 copies (CS003). It features some of the very earliest works of many now-influential and essential Industrial / Noise / Experimental artists. The 'scene' at the time was built on the mail-art network, exchanging an explosion of ideas, sounds and art around the world via the (then very cheap) postal system. Just a handful of these 19 tracks have since been reissued, but the vas…
