Des-Illusions
*2024 stock. 170 (hand-numbered) copies limited edition* "The genesis of this project is a conversation between Bruno and David about making music in current times of social and environmental crisis. This dialogue prompted an exchange of recordings, found sounds and other sonic material, advancing two pieces. Artistically, Bruno perceives himself as a pessimist acknowledging the presence of this thinking in his abundant music production, which is mainly collaborative. However, David perceives Br…
Mirror Mountain
50 copies limited edition. Mirror Mountain is the first release by Many Chants a Trapped Secret, the new solo project by Jef Mertens, evoking textural sounds for imaginary films. The concept/story/idea for Mirror Mountain was inspired by old drawings I made in the late nineties. Each track was recorded chronological, imposing a new direction in the story. Sounds leading to titles and titles leading to sounds.

Rammel
*100 copies limited edition* Belgian musician Mertens came onto the scene as a documentary filmmaker (Sonic Youth, Borbetomagus, Loren Connors, etc) but he has been developing his own unique guitar style over the past few years. This 10” has three wads of it. The first is a wonderful sidelong chunk of motoric chiming string music not all that far from a pop version of Remko Scha. The two shorter tunes on the flip fiddle around with some of the same ideas in different ways, all pretty hep.

Le Grand Passage
Big Tip! *300 copies limited edition* Delphine Dora was nearing the end of a three-day prepared piano residency when a technician stepped in to tune her grand piano for her final performance. He removed the objects from the strings and fixed the pitch, leaving Dora with a freshly tuned instrument. Mesmerised by its new sound, she proceeded to switch on her recorder and pour out her soul, channeling, in her own words, “something greater than myself”. The result is some of the most unusual but ele…
Heavy Rocks

Iron Speaks
*200 copies limited metal box CD. 2024 stock.* 'Iron Speaks' has become known as the 'lost' Tunnels Of Ah album since it was abandoned as the fifth album release due to it sounding 'unengaged' to writer Stephen Ah Burroughs; until now. After reworking the original material, 'Iron Speaks' emerges as a rediscovered official sixth album release.The material deals with the transitional stages of life and death, and it's an ominous possessive piece of work. As ever though, the darkness of Tunnels Of …

Los Galpones
**2024 stock. 300 copies limited edtion.** "Los Galpones" contains four dark and grimacing industrial-tinged drone pieces. Employing the electric guitar, the violin, springs and other found objects, Courtis creates a soundscape that is at times oppressive and dense. A reflection perhaps on the post-industrial urban landscape of his native Buenos Aires. This album should be played loud. "Los Galpones" is the latest solo full-length release conjured up by the extremely prolific Buenos Aires-based …
Gateshead Graves
**2024 stock. Edition of 200 with hand-numbered insert.** In the crowded field of guitar droneworks, UK musician Lee Stokoe could be said to be hidden in plain sight. For two decades, his solo project Culver and in-house tape label Matching Head have produced a consistent stream of releases without approaching anything near household-name status. This is due in part to a workmanlike, low-profile approach to recording and releasing music, despite time served in the mighty Skullflower. And then th…
Devotion
Double LP version. "Devotion, Muriel Grossmann's debut for Jack White's U.S.-based Third Man Records label, continues her musical evolution, arriving at a sound that wears inspirations transparently, but in practice, is markedly original holistic work. It is titled after Grossmann's experience of a natural sense of devotion that arose from her Buddhist meditation practice. She says, 'noticing that sounds are dissolving into the vast empty space, the true nature of reality. Just as thoughts are a…
Testament
* Clear Vinyl edition * Fire! have always been about finding the essence by getting to the core of the music. Their 8th album sees the trio - for the first time on record - stripped down to the bare-bones essentials; with no flutes, no electronics, no guests and no extras, recorded live in the studio to analogue tape - the Steve Albini way - with the master himself at the controls in Electrical Audio in Chicago. Thus, this album stands as a true testament to the group´s expressive power and glow…
