Now I Imagine A Place Not The Same
Electric guitarist and composer David Torn announces "now i imagine a place not the same," an expansive new double LP out May 29 via Kou Records. Produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Thurston Moore), the album revisits the raw electricity of Torn’s early processing language while carrying it forward with the perspective of decades of exploration. Visceral yet weightless, it deepens his long-standing dialogue between alternate tunings, looping systems, and touch-sensitive electronics. Melody, noi…
Gasping_Sighing_Sobbing
Mega Tip! Between her elaborately conceptual Drag City singer-songwriter albums and celebrated soundtracks for Ryusuke Hamaguchi, in recent years Eiko Ishibashi has quietly self-released a significant body of solo and collaborative work on her Bandcamp page. At times resembling her solo live performances in their organic interweaving of instrumental, electronic, and concrete sounds, each of these less feted online releases offers a snapshot of the experiments always underway at Atelier Eiko. Som…
Terra Incognita
*200 copies limited edition* Two beautiful pieces merging piano, electronics and field recordings.
"you had that uncertain landscape / in your mouth / a slightly opaque breath / chewing distances / into the ear of a land still without a name / the morning had settled askew / on the slow stones / and the motionless grasses / everything seemed to be waiting / for something very ancient / that never quite arrived / on my side / i had filled my pocket with silence / and repeated several times / what…
A Mistake by Mistakes
*Coming in a hand made & screen printed box* Hey, did I ever tell you about that time when things are going ok. When the music is never over, and stars are crushing down on you. Since I was little, I come to this music store every chance I got. I sneak in through the alley. I still make this trip a lot. Some weeks ago, during a trip, they played this “A Mistake by Mistakes” cassette tape compilation, out on that enigmatic Berlin, Neukölln based label Kashual Plastik. Sick folk-not-folk-modern-fo…
The Neon Weeps Tonight
*300 copies limited edition* Following 'The Sympathy Portal' LP, released earlier this year, 'The Neon Weeps Tonight' was similarly recorded during lockdown and released as a very limited CDr in early 2022 before its being mooted for this slightly edited reissue. This time comprising six compositions, it begins proceedings with Edward in a typically reflective mood that sometimes feels barbed as much as steeped in a yearning for times lost as melodic yet sombre keys assume a haunted quality befo…
Agon

Party Down the Hall
*50 copies limited edition* Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination. Party Down the Hall is their first album - a collaboration built on ethereal narratives, samples and melodies, creating invocations for the modern era.“In an apartment in a big old building. It used to be a hotel where people would stay in order to be healed. No…
SPRiNG!
London-based musician Luke Cowan returns with SPRiNG!, a release that trades the slow-blooming architectures of Six Places for something more immediate, loose-limbed and provisional. Conceived as the first in a planned seasonal cycle, it documents a moment of emergence: music produced quickly, instinctively, under a set of self-imposed constraints. SPRiNG! begins with Walworth Road, composed in a single sitting in February 2025, built from a tentative improvisation on a sanza acquired in a South…
Cosmic Render #9
*20 copies limited edition* Cosmic Render #9 see’s the return of ‘inbuilt obsolescence’ this time joined by August Cooke for another live improvisation. Fusing performed elements with sampled textures, finding some space between organic and digital in which to spontaneously re-interpret recorded artefacts.
Master of Dragons
On Master of Dragons, Jim Kirkwood summons one of his most cinematic visions: sweeping synth fanfares, brooding drones and neo‑medieval melodies unfurl a lone‑hero saga in sound, where wyrms, ruins and prophecy coil through a perpetually storm‑lit sky.
Through a Dark Glass
On Through a Dark Glass, Jim Kirkwood peers into his signature realm of neo‑medieval gloom and cosmic dread, layering synth choirs, martial pulses and dungeon‑folk melody into a fogged‑mirror vision of fantasy where revelation always stays just out of reach.
