Low clouds hang, this land is on fire
For his third new album release for Drag City, Tashi Dorji turns to the electric guitar. After the furious acoustic improvisations that drove the previous two—"Stateless" and "we will be wherever the fires are lit" — it’s easy to imagine an album of his electric guitar improvisations as an encompassingly incendiary essay. Especially when titled low clouds hang, this land is on fire. After all, this is a man capable of tearing up the place with the tactile musical violence of Bill Orcutt and Dere…
Longing
Longing is a new work by maverick multi-instrumentalist David Coulter with contributions from Julia Kent and Simon Fisher Turner. 'This piece was composed to accompany the Walks of Sadness I was taking every day during the Spring of 2020 as the World was spinning us in a very different and unexpected direction. I experienced terrible loss during this time and the sense of longing for my family and the isolation I was feeling became overwhelming. Longing is an exploration of slowness and stillnes…
A Guidance
*300 copies limited edition* "Full focus. Recorded in one day on the Element Studio in Gothenburg. For some reason, I had decided to play the grand piano through effects. Leif had brought only texts for some vocal action. Linus had a sound in mind. Daniel had chosen a cover image already. I remember it so well, that it all sort of just happened. We did not talk about what kind of energy or tension we were after. Sometimes it is just like the music is just there and you don’t have to do anything …
Pivot Rotations
A continuous choreography of tape loops, motion, and quiet friction live recorded at Meakusma Festival and other shows.
Porch Music
Porch Music is a double album uniting Mitchell Brown (Gasp), Paul McCarthy, Joe Potts (Airway), Alex Stevens, and John Wiese (Sissy Spacek) from the Los Angeles Free Music Society, documenting the group's studio session at McCarthy’s studio and their inaugural live set from The Box gallery. Crafted from melting cinematic sounds, this release captures the ensemble's exploratory spirit with artwork by Ace Farren Ford.
Untitled
Tip! Tip! Tip! Florence-based composer Marco Baldini has quietly emerged as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary composition, and this cassette compilation for The Trilogy Tapes offers the perfect entry point into his world. Known for his stunning releases on Another Timbre – the chamber works of Maniera performed by Apartment House and the historically-engaged Vesperi – Baldini here curates a personal sonic journey that reveals his wide-ranging influences and aesthetic sensibilitie…
Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees
Benjamin Tassie’s Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees is an immersive 70-minute composition featuring performances by Zubin Kanga on keyboards, blending sampled historic organs, analogue synthesizers, and real-time digital processing. The work, part of the ‘Cyborg Soloists’ research project, was recorded live in Amsterdam and surrounds listeners with a multi-layered soundscape exploring themes of ritual, memory, and environmental transformation.
Clear and Stormy Horizons
Eden Lonsdale’s Clear and Stormy Horizons is a contemporary chamber mini-album released in 2025, featuring five compositions that drift between melancholy, tension, and delicate lyricism. Written and recorded during lockdown, these works showcase Lonsdale’s evocative use of varied instrumentation and emotional clarity, marking another intriguing chapter in UK-based new music.
Sobbing Honey & Anna Homler
Sobbing Honey & Anna Homler brings together Sobbing Honey—an emergent force in LA’s experimental underground—and the legendary vocal sound artist Anna Homler. Through a sequence of improvisational, ritual-inflected tracks, the collaboration dissolves conventional boundaries, weaving extended voice, electronics, and found instruments into rarefied, playful atmospheres that embrace both textural mystery and tactile joy.
In The River
Spiral Joy Band are one of the descendants of Richmond VA's legendary musical juggernaut, Pelt. Active and mutating for nearly 20 years, the iteration of the Spiral Joy Band who recorded this session in Madison Wisconsin in 2011 was a trio. Troy Schafer, Patrick Best and Mikel Dimmick play an array of instruments -- violin, viola, harmonium -- to produce lush tapestries of the multiphonic drones for which they are known. I remember Pelt getting called 'The Hillbilly Theatre of Eternal Music' at …
For a Moment the Sky Knew My Name
For a Moment the Sky Knew My Name is the forthcoming solo album by Peter Knight, released through Lawrence English’s Room40 label. Written and recorded partly outdoors on Krowathunkooloong land in southeastern Australia—a landscape tied to Knight’s childhood—the album merges field recordings, trumpet, and live electronic processing to construct an evocative meditation on environment, memory, and belonging. Across four expansive compositions, the trumpeter’s tones intertwine with insects, wind, a…
Live at Epsilon Spires
Feeding Tube Records is excited to present the first North American release by this amazing Japanese sound artist. Yosuke Fujita goes by the name FUJI|||||||||||TA, perhaps so he won't be mistaken for the guitarist of the same name who plays with Better Days, or perhaps because he just likes to hear people try to figure out how to say, 'FUJI|||||||||||TA,' properly. Either way, FUJI|||||||||||TA is a wonderful avant-garde project that has been active for almost two decades. In its current iterat…
The Language Shadow
Reissue of the very limited debut LP by this Massachusetts-based musician. We first ran into Kass's Good Cry label when she put out Jordan Perry's eponymous debut, which we promptly reissued (FTR 376LP). And we are well pleased to be able to do the same for The Language Shadow -- a most excellent album by all known metrics. Kass (who works with Meg Remy's U.S. Girls) sings and plays guitar, dulcimer and small instrument-style percussion. Recorded at Montreal's Hotel2Tango, her music has the clea…
Elvehjem
Recorded in Madison Wisconsin a year after In The River, the latest record from this amazing trio (Troy Schafer, Patrick Best, Mikel Dimmick) breaks a bit with Spiral Joy's drone-dominant tradition. There is a crackling, noise energy curtain surrounding much of the playing here that makes me remember the sound of the Richmond VA trio, Pelt, from whom Spiral Joy Band draw specific inspiration (as well as two members). The listed instruments are bowed gong, gong, bowed bowls, electric guitar, bowe…
Samt ar-ra's
Samt ar-ra's by Benjamin Dobó and Dion Monti is an evocative ambient collaboration that serves as a sonic companion to Dobó's film. Crafted between 2020 and 2022, the album moves through delicate textures, atmospheric field recordings, and subtle melodic fragments, inviting listeners to explore intricate emotional landscapes in a work that bridges visual and auditory art.
Briars On A Dewdrop
Turner Williams Jr is a string-player out of the same Alabama surrealist scene that gave us Rev. Fred Lane & the Say Day Bew gang, Davey Williams & LaDonna Smith’s Trans Museq universe, and the Sweet Wreath madmen (who have been working with Johnny Coley, Silica Gel and others). Some crazy shit has gone on down there, and Mr. Williams soaked it all in before heading up to NYC, where he fell in with some of the Sound @ One scene. Which added another layer to the freak potential of his playing. Af…
Smelter
Smelter by Faith Coloccia and Daniel Menche constructs a temporal architecture that explores water in its myriad states—snow, ice, streams, and storm. Moving between spontaneous, voice-laced vignettes and epic drone formations, the record serves as an aural archive that suspends the listener in crystalline moments, as if each piece is fixed in time yet endlessly malleable.
Mirror at Night
Mirror at Night searches the subconscious: Eric Angelo Bessel sculpts a spectral space where ambient resonance, spectral melody, and time-stretched echoes intermingle. The album pulses with memory and hush, summoning nocturnal images that flicker between clarity and dissolution—a twilight walk across the inner landscape.
The Oracle
Big tip! Acclaimed New York-based composer Lea Bertucci offers The Oracle, a striking, vocal-focused collection of music that spans six tracks of adventurous sounds steeped in mysticism and imagination, over three years in the making. Her first purely solo endeavor since 2021’s much lauded A Visible Length of Light (Cibachrome Editions), The Oracle breaks new ground within the scope of Bertucci’s singular voice as an artist.
The Oracle is an alchemy of contemporary political anxieties illuminated…
Steelwound (20th Anniversary Edition)
"If I’m not mistaken, Ben Frost and I first talked about the ideas of what would become Steelwound sometime in mid 2002. In the early 00s, Ben had been working on cut-up electronics, spilling over with floating rhythms, humming string samples and piano splices. It was a sound realised in part through the subversion of fruity loops and also owes a debt to Ableton Live which arrived in late 2001. His works to that point, gently saturated and bristling with a fizzy distortion at times, hinted at an…
