Dans Le Salon Du Nous
Since 2004, Laurent Gérard alias Èlg (Opéra Mort, Orgue Agnès) has never ceased to draw the sonic equivalent of concentric spirals and labyrinths made of cedars, brambles and guts. By constantly renewing his instrumentarium over the years, he has built improbable bridges between musique concrète and songwriting (Vu du Dôme, Mauve Zone), diagonal spoken word and wormhole (Amiral Prose), electronic incantations in crypt and blob choirs (Mil Pluton, La Chimie). The language is sometimes francophone…

Spiralling dark drones, eerie feedback textures, archaic drum and cymbal patterns, atonal / tonal sounds and distant / peculiar sample layers expansive atmosphere that continuously spirals further towards the unknown areas of…
Imagery Resonance

Abba (2CD)
Tip! ** A massive new double album from Blod and the first CD-only release on Discreet Music. In the artists' own words: "ABBA was recorded during the summer of 2021 in my garage in Mölndal outside of Gothenburg. I believe the album has some kind of loner ambient lo-fi vibe all over it. I have tried to create a warm feeling permeated by longing and loneliness. It's far from a happy album and it contains no hit songs, but I think there is a feeling of hope present throughout both discs." Edition …
Future Nature (Tape)
Mike Collino, either with his solo efforts as Dog Lady Island or via the sterling Alien Passengers label, has managed to exemplify the midwestern / Detroit underground milieu of home-tapers & jammers while also carving out a unique niche for himself. There is more than enough room at this table for analog gunk and grime, but a place has been set for refined obscurantism and a more European Fluxus-derived absurdism
HS00 (Tape)

Vent
In a rain forest of moments. the eye hears what the ear sees. through each moment of Karin Johansson’s and Finn Loxbo’s music runs the firm conviction that all points and layers of sound – in true democratic spirit, carry the same weight. Or lightness. as precise as scattered bird calls may be crucial to the totality and the outcome of the drama as a whole, as cautiously do they take care of the phrased line by being extremely exact with the gaps and the charged rest, where that very thing appea…

Iker
New album from Richard Youngs that, similar to a lot of his work, happened fairly spontaneously following our having heard one of Richard's sketches utilising a Spanish guitar during the spring of 2021 and being duly impressed. We then proposed releasing a CD album of such work, where Richard uses the same guitar alongside real-time street sounds, birdsong, tape loops, synth, FM radio and runout grooves to create a setting that's comparatively gentler than most of his work thus far on Fourth Dim…

Fantômes
* Edition of 150 copies * Inaugurating the “Albe” series— a collection of LP’s to be released on Le Cabanon Records Fantômes is the first album by Horla. Fantômes is a musical isthmus, a frontier seldom travelled, a sonic corridor wherein animated bodies, sounds and dreams, instrumental and woody murmurs roam.
