Pipeworx
*250 copies limited edition* "Pipeworx" is the new release from Irish musician Mel Keane, out April 24, 2026 on Deardogs. For the last two or so years, Mel Keane has been researching and making work in response to the pipe band (bagpipe and snare drum military adjacent marching bands) tradition, which is found mostly in countries that have been colonised by the UK, such as Ireland.
This new record came as the result of this research, exploring the instability and directness of the bagpipes, but…

Bloodcog is a band from the North-West of England featuring five of the region's top improvisers, with a sound part rock, part free jazz, part musique concrete, part electronica (and …
Precious Moments
*100 copies limited edition* Sculptural, dreamlike and intimately detailed, Precious Moments is the fourth album by singer and composer Oliver Mann - this time in collaboration with acclaimed Bologna electro-acoustic composer and guitarist Stefano Pilia. A tender remembrance across nine short tracks exploring the affinity and thrills of friendship in a time when we all have internalised distance, the album features guests Mick Turner (Dirty Three / Mess Esque / Cat Power) and a scene stealing ca…
Sub Re
Kassel Jaeger (aka François J. Bonnet) returns to Shelter Press after Swamps / Things, Shifted in Dreams, and the recent reissue of the classic Zauberberg, co-composed with Akira Rabelais and Stephan Mathieu. With this major new album, entitled Sub Re, Bonnet continues his long exploration of the musical possibilities of sound, extending the concrete approach developed at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales, the historic and essential Parisian studio that Bonnet has been directing since 2018. Sub…
Rivage(s)
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021, at the invitation of Chant du Moineau, Le Un experimented in collective spontaneous creating on a section of the Dordogne River. In an aquatic and poetic logic of space, Le Un continued its research along the Gironde estuary. Three working sessions with three different teams, ultimately bringing together the entire orchestra and our guests: Claire Steimer, historian, Olivier Chadoin, sociologist, Eric Chauvier, anthropologist, Guillaume Bonnel, photographer …
Understatements
*2026 stock* This is the first recording by the unique trio of Tetuzi Akiyama (guitar), Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing board), and Masataka Fujikake (drums). This is a full album of six songs recorded at the now-defunct Asagaya Yellow Vision and is an isolated work in which the inner universe of the three members is clearly imprinted on the disc.
Displaces
On Displaces, sound artist Francesco Fabris fashions a high‑dimensional cartography of memory, hyperobjects and matter, where langspil, biophonies and geophonies are folded into phased time‑space, drifting between suffocation and release in an eerily tactile sonic ecosystem.
Devet
*100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present Devet by Manja Ristić: A sonic tracing of cosmologies, thresholds, and elemental memory, centred around the symbolism of the number nine as a marker of completion, passage, and spiritual architecture. Crafted from environmental sound, improvisational sequences, and site-specific interventions, the collection unfolds as a sonic storytelling of nature’s bold framing of our existence.
The integration of ancestral knowledge systems, ecological w…
Ancient Moment Part 2
With centuries of history, traditional instruments carry physical vibrations shaped by human breath and touch. In contrast, electronic music generates vibrations through inorganic principles such as electrical signals and circuits. When the subtle tremors of traditional instruments resonate with the intricate tones of electronic sounds in an improvised dialogue, performers from distinct realms expand each other’s languages, creating a new sensory experience.
The project album Ancient Moment mar…
I Still Feel the Future Is Far Away
Stifled wailing distortion, suspended chords, glistening bundles of gentle mallet strikes, streams of notes produced by handheld fans. A nearly hour long session of free improvisation - played and recorded without pretense in a basement - by two of St. Louis's most dedicated improvisers and organizers of the city's warped and faded experimental music scene.
The Evening Group
Painting and sound results of group improvisation fall 2024.
Duo, Trio, Ensemble
*100 copies limited edition* Local free jazz saxophonist Dave Stone recorded live around town the last couple years with different musicians.
Country Tropics
Released in 2021, Country Tropics was the first offering from Old Saw. At the time, no one was really certain who was behind the lush and textured arrangements of a soon to be beloved ensemble of New England based musicians. 5 years and 4 albums later, the group announced that their fall 2025 double album, The Wringing Cloth, would be their last. An outpouring of affection and adoration for what the group had accomplished followed, with many noting just how unique a space Old Saw occupied with…
Sans Visage
Félicia Atkinson first saw Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face), the 1960 horror film by Georges Franju, when she was a teenager, around the turn of the century. At the time she was frequenting arthouse movie theaters, immersing herself in cinema, and she was encouraged to go by her father. The film made an impact for its iconic imagery and the way Franju draws on the aesthetics of early filmmaking, from its score that relies on stylistic markers typical of the 1940s or 50s to the decision…
Dissectologists
*100 copies limited edition* Compelling new collaborative works from longtime musical colleagues going back to the early 2000s in Austin with The Weird Weeds. These deftly paced pieces enhance the artist's now highly evolved and nuanced sonic palettes, venturing thoughtfully into warm and hypnotic sound fields merging two very unique approaches to abstract guitar Sedimental’s connection with these artists is long running, having released the final Weird Weeds album in 2012 that featured both Rus…
On Dark Silent Off
*2026 stock* Radian creates a field of tension between extreme dynamics, freely improvised parts and meticulous construction, an inherent contrast between soft sounds and sharp edits. Radian’s recording/creative process takes a central role in shaping the pieces. It is a two-fold process of creating material through improvisation, sound experiments and processing on the one hand, and a routine of carefully selecting and editing this material on the other. It is often the case that mere snippets …
Distorted Rooms
*2026 stock* Vienna has a storied history as a ground-zero for new music. Radian, who calls Vienna home, embodies the city’s spirit of innovation. Martin Brandlmayr (drums, electronics), Martin Siewert (guitar, electronics) and John Norman (bass) are stalwarts of the European contemporary music community. Radian’s angular, expansive music delights in tension and contradiction, sound and silence, improvisation and composition. The trio employ a singular and wholly unique sense of microtonality. W…
Diffraction
*2026 stock* Diffraction is the amplified reflection, across a wider sonic territory, of what takes place within the making of DDK’s music. A composition written for the GGRIL, in which the three musician-composers weave their texture by juxtaposition, by overlay, in parallel, always within the musical material itself. But Diffraction truly comes to life only through close collaboration with the GGRIL performers, where each person’s character becomes raw material. A compositional process intimat…

Double Bubble
*2026 stock* Named one of 23 artists who are “changing the sound of classical music” by the Washington Post, Ben Roidl-Ward has been praised for his “dazzling technique” (The Sydney Morning Herald), “breathless virtuosity” (Bandcamp Daily), and “astounding flexibility and range” (The Double Reed). He is the Assistant Professor of Bassoon at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and also holds positions as Principal Bassoonist of the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Illinois Symphony, and the Champ…
