Experimental / Abstract

*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …

*300 copies limited edition* 'Discord in Disorder' is a new album from Welsh soundsmith Sion Orgon, already known as both a producer and frequent collaborator with fellow sonic traveller Thighpaulsandra. Originally conceived for another label that unfortunately could not go ahead with its release, the album catches Sion doing something different to his usual melding of avant-rock/pop and abstract electronics... These 14 new electroacoustic compositions delve into the intricate relationship betwe…

Together with the album Oystered of Ambarchi - Müller - Voice Crack on Audiosphere, wireless_within are the very last recordings of the legendary Voice Crack. Together with Müller and Melbourne-based Philip Samartzis they create stunning atmospheric soundscapes -- recorded one day after they visited together a rain forest in South Australia.

Dark Companion Records is truly thrilled to add this extraordinary band to our family of artists. This album marks their debut for our Unifaun Productions. To The Cloud-Cuckoo Land of Color Wheels is the third album by Malesh, a Wyrd Folk project hailing from the hidden caves of Tuscia. The album was written and recorded by the duo Pablo Monterisi and Martino Petrella at Domitia Jovian’s Viburnum Studio in Monterano, while the visuals and costumes are the result of a collaboration with Roman art…

On changing bodies, Thomas Peter treats the world as a resonant instrument, folding field recordings, objects and synths into five patiently mutating pieces where motion, texture and silence feel as physical as touch.

Tip! Edition of 300 copies. François Tusques needs no introduction to serious listeners of European free jazz. His 1965 Free Jazz album - recorded with Bernard Vitet, Michel Portal, Beb Guérin, and François Jeanneau - helped establish Paris as a vital center for the transatlantic avant-garde, laying groundwork for the city's role as spiritual home to visiting American firebrands like Don Cherry, Sunny Murray, and Clifford Thornton. His subsequent work with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz, 1967), h…

All sound recorded November 2007 in/at/around Mamori Lake, Amazonas, Brazil. Material culled and assembled December 2007/January 2008 in Seattle. "His music consists of an ever-changing, intricate web of sounds defining spaces in constant transformation. It is very detailed, very present. Transitions between soundscapes, sometimes very slow and very gradual, sometimes very surprising, keep his music going; often different strata of time are present simultaneously. Matt is a master in building an…

*30 copies limited edition.* Dry, mostly unprocessed recordings of feedback trials with electric guitar, amps, mics and speakers. "When I was in 7th grade, my friends and I started spending our long lunch breaks walking to the nearest supermarket to buy things that felt important. Being on our own, wandering those aisles, surrounded by endless varieties of goods, felt like a new kind of freedom to me. To this day, I still love entering a supermarket with the slightest clue what to buy – seeking …

The third production from the Stelzer/Murray project hits a sweet spot of slippery, industrial occultation that harkensback to an almost forgotten period of music from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Think Cranioclast, Arcane Device, Phauss, Small Cruel Party, Organum, and pretty much everything from the Quiet Artworks label. Exquisitely composed and overtly nocturnal without ever falling into the tropes of dark ambient and with plenty of gestures, signals, and threats that allude to any number of…

In scandinavia, it's not uncommon to hear of someone's mother, grandfather, uncle, or plumber who drank him-or-herself to death at an early age; and the swedish drone artist bj nilsen has felt the alcoholic pangs which may foreshadow his own demise. in recent years, nilsen has turned to his icelandic neighbors Sigtryggur Berg sigmarsson and Helgi Thorsson (collectively known as stilluppsteypa) in existential sympathy over the problems of their collective lust for alcohol. drykkjuvisur ohljodanna…

On Cafetic Atom, Magic Nousiainen & Wonderful Lehtisalo turn the Finnish DIY cosmos inside out: ecstatic free noise, cosmic hiss and bliss‑bleeding feedback spirals coalesce into a strangely serene, meditative storm of pure, glowing otherness.

Beggars Arkive have announced the release of Seefeel - Quique (Redux), a remaster and first ever vinyl pressing of the redux edition of the groundbreaking 1993 album, originally released on Too Pure. Seefeel's Quique emerged in 1993 on the Too Pure label, blending elements of shoegaze, ambient, and electronic music into an innovative and genre-defying sound. The record’s complex textures, pulsating rhythms, and ethereal melodies create an immersive listening experience, with tracks like “Climact…

Warp's first ever 'guitar-playing' signing make a welcome return with this, their self-titled, second album for the label. Applying less of their signature 'shoegaze' aesthetic, the addition of Boredoms drummer E-da and electronic musician Shigeru Ishihara in the line-up, has given this album much more of a palpable feel than earlier releases on Warp and Too Pure. An invigorating return.

If Succour was Seefeel’s departure from the cul de sac of shoegaze music to wander through the desert of abstract electronics, 1996’s (Ch-Vox) which has been out of print since its original release is the sound of a group building a civilisation in the remotest spot, revelling in their sound far away from the rest of the world, their tones arriving to us like strange signals through the air. Singular as each of Seefeel’s LPs are, (Ch-Vox) could well be their definitive statement, a compelling al…

Seefeel’s second studio album and their debut for Warp. This expanded 3LP edition is the first time it has been available on vinyl since original release and adds an extra LP of bonus material, mastered from original DAT transfers by Stefan Betke aka Pole. On Seefeel’s 1993 debut album, Quique, the British quartet navigated a course between shoegaze and ambient dub—but by 1995, the electronic undercurrents of their sound had carried them to a very different place. Maybe it was the influence…

There’s a gulf of contrasts to be heard between Seefeel’s 1993 debut Quique and its 1995 follow-up Succour. Both are searching works in their own right, two shining examples of the fertile crossover of shoegaze and electronic, but it’s clear that, somewhere in the album-to-album transition, things got darker for the project. A growing fascination with the dystopian ends of dub and ambient are thoroughly explored on the Starethrough EP, the first of Seefeel’s recordings for Warp, a spiritual home…

Vasopressin presents On The Edge Of The Outside, collecting four works by Nurse With Wound — three composed in response to texts by Kafka, Tzara, and Forneret, one previously unreleased — on vinyl for the first time. Electroacoustic abstraction, minimalist drones, and grimy ambience, in a limited edition of 300 black and 100 clear vinyl copies.

On Embrace 1: Jupiter Storm/Partial Intersect, Polwechsel with Magda Mayas and John Butcher fold fixed media, stopwatch scores and free low‑string improvisation into a dense, shifting topology of resonance and friction, pushing their chamber‑reductionist language into newly electronic and spatialised terrain.

On Embrace 2: Chains and Grain, Polwechsel distil their chamber‑improv logic into a score grown from their own playing: a tense, breathing matrix of repeated figures, frayed textures and in‑the‑moment reactions that is rebuilt afresh every time it’s performed.

On Embrace 3: Magnetron/Quarz/Obsidian, Polwechsel with Andrea Neumann turn acousmatic tape, simulated multitracks and graphic notation into an intricate laboratory of cause and effect, where elevator doors, room ghosts and painstakingly negotiated scores yield two of their most conceptually precise and sonically uncanny works.

On Embrace 4: Orakelstücke/Aquin, Polwechsel open their rigorously quiet universe to two singular composers, Peter Ablinger and Klaus Lang, yielding a diptych where struck objects, voices and long, glowing tones summon an almost liturgical sense of mystery from everyday sound.

Brain liquification from the secret agents residing at Chocolate Monk headquarters. The last installment of their recent "soup" trilogy, these final fumes waft into your ears in precise yet frenetic fashion. Jarring cuts, unexpected sounds, and surreal atmospheres abound. Music to confound and delight.

Jeph Jerman (Hands To) and Joachim Nordwall (Organ of Corti) present "Topology," a stunning collaboration that brings out the best from both artists. Jerman's trademark field recordings are accentuated by Nordwall's electronics in a seamless fusion that simultaneously evokes the mechanical and the environmental. There are moments of subtle tension, but longtime fans of Jerman will note several instances of heightened intensity in his contribution that harken back to some of the more aggressive H…

Hangman Cut Himself Loose is the debut full-length CD from ascendant NYC-based noise artist Kyle Flanagan. This is the new psychedelia, an expansive album that ranges from blistering harsh noise to expansive drones. Deep space explorations launched from grimy basements. The perfect blend of careful composition and hallucinatory experimentation. A revelatory noise recording that builds on a series of well-regarded tapes for labels such as New Forces, Dead Gods, and No Rent. This is music you need…

This collaboration was bound to happen someday! Out of mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work Asmus Tietchens and Frans de Waard decided to work on some music together. The result is “Oordeel" (dutch for "judgement") – eleven tracks of diverse character and subtle beauty. From distorted groans and gritty pulses to delicate and abstract sound layers Tietchens and de Waard have created a fascinating sound world of bizarre beauty.

Another Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released on CD by Point Music in 1993 it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind. Be With revisits this first compilation for a new gatefold double vinyl version and a triple-fold digipak CD re-issue. This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music, like the titl…

This Is A Big One. ** Edition of 100. Beautifully designed sleeve by Bruno Stucchi/Dinamomilano. ** Die Schachtel's latest follows naturally from the sonic territory explored within the label's Decay Music series, while pushing well beyond. La Donna del Lago is the debut release from the geography-spanning trio of the Italian bassist and composer, Massimo Pupillo; the Canadian soprano singer and conductor, Barbara Hannigan; and the French composer, sound engineer and musician David Chalmin. An i…

On Extracellular, Hidden Horse, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, Johnny Richards & Dave King, Domotic, Revbjelde, Saïph, Oh Mr James, Secluded Bronte, Time Attendant, Etceteral, Dolly Dolly & Fogroom and Gong Girl plug into the “space between cells”, trading signals as pulsing electro, splintered jazz, industrial dub and spoken ritual fuse into a single, buzzing nervous system.

*150 copies limited edition* Beautiful edition of glass mastered CDs with hand painted covers by Tim Bradley on full color 400g offset print card stock in thick PVC sleeves that we think really compliments the, at times radical, combination of sounds and textures in the music. The works are "over painted photographs", directly inspired by Gerhard Richter's series of the same title (Übermalte Fotografien). Bradley says: "To paint over a photograph is to admit that truth is always blurred—each ges…

Since the duo’s inception in 2021, Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland have released 5 LPs of their turntablism/percussion fusion. This is their first single before adding Helge Thornes as a vocalist and morphing into Hebbex d’Expectatio Expectata. Recorded during the 2023 Get Next recording sessions at Consulatet in Stavanger, this single compresses the duo’s sound and approach into two 3-minute no-nonsense tracks. Pressures of the Fresh is a hectic electro-pastiche drowned in the murky waters o…

*60 copies limited edition* SabaSaba return with ‘Detriti’, a companion piece to 2024’s dystopian ‘Unknown City’. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorotto (drums, percussion, effects, programming) are joined by collaborator Ambra Chiara Michelangeli on viola. The mysterious Torino ensemble trades in much of their digital sheen for a rollicking half-pensive, half-dream suspended soundtrack. An organic looseness permeates the short tracks creating ferti…

*250 copies limited edition* I don’t know how to describe myself as a musician, but I like to explore how sound events can create spatial arrangements in the mind and trigger proprioception… Or is it movement? This album collects and refines around four years of experiments and statements. Early work responded directly to the visual cosmology of Philippe Shewchenko, who created the cover art. The album title describes my attempts to process disparate influences through semi-improvisational compo…

Tip! *200 copies limited edition* The Stratégies Obliques series continues with two previously unreleased tracks. Still based on the principle of randomly drawn cards invented by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.

*200 copies limited edition* A very different approach than other work, more brut and raw, with an accent on vocal sound sources.

Filtro returns with a short ep reflecting its new approach to minimal strucures and small electronics. Sounds for night reflections and dark disquiets. Filtro is an electronic duo composed by Angelo Bignamini and Luca de Biasi. The duo focuses their research on the characteristics and properties of sound, disconnected from its original context and meaning, favoring minimalist and abstract constructions, questioning the modes of reproduction and distribution in space. They have released several m…

Mark Morgan (formerly of Sightings and Silk Purse) and Gaute Granli first met in Brooklyn at The Glove in 2017 while Granli was on tour from his home country of Norway. The following year, Morgan embarked on a solo European tour and he and Granli did three shows together in Norway. Ultimately finding each other reasonably tolerable and able to agree to disagree on punk versus prog, they soon thereafter toured together in the fall of 2019 in Europe for 50 days with each playing solo. As the tour …

Mega tip! *300 copies limited edition* ‘This celebration of the group’s 30th anniversary is composed entirely of recent works, but each will move around in time as well as in form, in ways that belong to traditions of both improvised and composed music, but also in ways that belong distinctively to this group. It demonstrates breadth and depth that suggest great temporal reach, embracing musical values that touch the art’s ritual origins and offering a sense of ongoing relevance and renewal. Tru…
