just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities
Tip! Unlike anything we’ve heard from her before, Okkyung Lee returns to Shelter Press with Just Like Any Other Day (어느날): Background Music For Your Mundane Activities, a deeply intimate body of recordings at the juncture of ambient music, minimalism, and the baroque, that stands as radical intervention with what experimental music can be, and the place that organisations of sound occupy in our lives. For more than two decades, Okkyung Lee has stood at the forefront of the most radical trajector…
Pardinyas
*100 copies limited edition* With this new work, Heine Christensen continues his explorations into the world of Eurorack. This ever-changing instrument has had a profound impact on his practice, pushing the boundaries of his (re)sampling and sound construction techniques. On Pardinyas, we hear the most minimal and abstract Ghost and Tape to date. Snippets of melody come and go, almost as if they’re playing a game of hide and seek, but before you even realize it, the abstraction has turned into a…
Hyperboréen
With Hyperboréen, we set sail for a dreamy, fantastical North, where the cold and the distant call for contemplation. Six other musicians accompany us on this journey. This strong atmosphere of mental and literary images resonated with the recording - isolated in the heart of the Puisaye countryside - of the six tracks on the album. The sounds of the instruments are deconstructed and reassembled in a process akin to electroacoustic editing, while they are joined by sounds from elsewhere, produce…
You're Beautiful
*100 copies limited edition* 'You're Beautiful' is the fantastical album of Berlin-based artist Laurén Maria. Part singer-songwriter ballads, part experimental collages, part poignant distortion-laden anthems, the album is like a journey of strange encounters in a mysterious woodland. Maria's mystical voice is our companion on this adventure, sometimes vulnerable, front and centre, at other times heavily processed and part of the fabric of the forest. On songs like "Zephyr" featuring Ludwig Wand…
Accidental Journey
2025 stock Accidental Journey, 10 years drifting thru Genres and combining Materials. Where does a decade start, where does it end? Years come; hours go. A group of ten. 0-to-9, 1-to-0, calendar years went by, flying high. Time is irrelevant, and yet, we like a look back to stare forthright. So, here it is, a big dark tempting audiobook for people with time, Acid Zen citizens, deep listening folks, slow consumers, with a desire for thrill, thrills for desire. A double CD. 40 exclusive contempora…
mathematical model 0010
*300 copies limited edition* Drawing from field recordings collected during a trip to Japan, boring tables saturates sonic vignettes in sentimental key, replaying familiar traces of lived experience into something more abstract. The seven tracks on mathematical model 0010, Luca Quartarone's debut album, trail through evolving tonal expanses that envelop the environment in a perpetually expanding haze of serenity. Though sonic fragments hail from the everyday, the compositions themselves inevitab…
St/Fr/Sp
2025 stock 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 spi…
(Ch-vox) (REDUX)
2025 stock 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 co…

Baboon and Chest
From the frayed edges of sounds that once hummed and the lingering ghost of forgotten amplifier feedback & the unanswered answering machine message echo, Glands of External Secretion return with their most different album until the next one. "Baboon and Chest" is a four-pronged stumble through the usual-yet-unusual and weird-yet-no-weird delightful auditory wreckage. This "collection" stitches together echoes across time, from 1987 to 2025 and from San Francisco and Long Beach then to Edinburgh …

Sen’nyū
**180g vinyl, 12″ sleeve with capped obi, 12pp booklet, gold-foil letterpress, offset printed, full colour on premium matt paper** In the final month of 2024, Meitei arrived in Beppu, a city long steeped in vapor, myth, and mineral memory. Invited to create onsen (hot spring) ambient music commemorating Beppu’s 100th anniversary, he immersed himself in the city’s geothermal psychogeography, where sound rises from the ground and time clings to mist. Known for his Lost Japan (Shitsu-nihon) works, …
String Figures
String Figures, Felicity Mangan’s debut solo LP on Elevator Bath, blends tactile drones, electronic tones, and wetland field recordings into inventive, emotionally rich compositions. Using string timbres and digital processing, she crafts angular, ambient pieces that are both varied and cohesively poetic.
Itara
Itara is the debut solo album by Paul Pèrrim—guitarist, composer, and anthropologist—blending acid folk, abstract blues, Eastern jazz, ambient, and improvisation. Drawing from ethnomusicology and a rich sonic palette, he crafts vivid, experimental guitar music rooted in tradition and innovation.
Smallest Things
Since 2007, Will Yates—aka Memotone—has made immersive, genre-blurring music. Fusing folk, jazz, British DIY electronica, Chicago post-rock, and Jon Hassell’s ambient brass, his layered sound reflects deep curiosity, technical skill, and a distinctive, place-rooted artistic identity.

Heilun
Following three full-length collections and a transcendent series of individual long form works, Iceland’s Hyldýpi makes his Past Inside The Present debut with Heilun (tr: “Healing”), a set of seven pieces that flow across 90 blissful minutes. Formed only with guitar and a modest selection of hardware, each movement is an improvisation born from a state of meditation. According to the artist, these sonic sculptures are “inspired by the raw nature [of Iceland], both within and without… I feel as …
