Window Left Open
*300 copies limited edition* Keith Freund’s music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On “Window Left Open,” spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone lines rise above buzzing circuitry, percussion flickers at the edges of the frame, and clustered glitch textures dart through the music like insects in tall summer grass. Every sound feels vividly animated, a charged part of the same mercurial ecosyst…
Havana
‘Havana’ is the thirteenth album by Agile Experiments, the shape-shifting project of multi-instrumentalist/producer Dave De Rose. Following on from 2024's 'Loukoumades', the album channels the heat-hazed, tympanic pulse of Cuba’s capital into a document of joyous collective improvisation, ecstatic groove alchemy and meticulously original choices of post-production. 'Havana' had already gathered support from Songlines Magazine, Electronic Sound Magazine, Gilles Peterson, Zakia and many more.
Weathered People
None More Records present Weathered People, the second album on NMR from experimental singer-songwriter Joe Woodham. Building and evolving from his previous record Worldwide Weather, Weathered People was inspired by a continuing fascination with the weather and pondering on the effect it has on us collectively. The album explores themes of psychology, wellbeing, spirituality, geology and deep time whilst always trying to be grounded and rooted by nature.
Inspired by the space and depth of compos…
Strange City
On Strange City, Merzbow drags Sun Ra’s archival fire through a bank of howling electronics, turning rare Saturnian jazz fragments into towering, cosmic noise storms where horn blasts, rhythms and feedback fuse into a single, irradiated signal.
Movie
*150 copies limited edition* Filmmaking and music-making share a common element of worldbuilding. Whole cloth, environments are raised in which a perspective can be placed; the viewer, the listener, is taken on a ride into the unknown for a time. Movie, the newest album by DMV-based duo Lifted, is like a film shot with microphones rather than cameras, using the pacing, spatialization, and semiotics of cinematic sound design to lead us through a surreal soundworld that draws as much from Foley ar…
Aural Corrosion
*2026 stock* 2 years after their debut album on Utech Records, P/O Massacre goes deeper in their immersive noise experimentation in this collaboration album with Alex Buess, and Merzbow (Masami Akita). An architecture of distortion, Moog processors, spring reverb, drone effects and more, then developed in different directions by two electronic/noise veterans. It’s a journey of pure sensation, destruction, and rebirth. A skull-vibrating sound decomposition to your face. For this very reason of se…
Massacre
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "The resulting music is an unearthly ever-shifting roar, sometimes identifiable as the product of guitar and saxophone but just as often not. Obrazeena’s guitar frequently starts out as an almost country-tinged drone, not unlike Earth’s “Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method” before turning into a downtuned wall of thick, syrupy distortion you can almost touch. Ponomarev’s sax screeches and bellows, and his electronics create a dense pulse, with needle-…
Pakachume
Emerging from Studio HC Orchestra, Pakachume is a collaboration between producer Adrien de Maublanc and multi-instrumentalist Yonatan Levi. The album blends minimalism, jazz, chamber music, Afro-carribean sounds, and ambient electronica, recorded intimately in Paris’ Studio HC with acoustic instruments and analog synths.
We Fell In Turn
'We Fell In Turn' is the solo debut from Brooklyn-based trombonist, composer, and quartet leader Kalia Vandever. Vandever, who plays with Harry Styles and Japanese Breakfast, “sculpts her trombone’s golden tones into dazzling compositions” (Pitchfork), writing music that tends to “dip you into a feeling or a pattern or a breathing speed, and keep you there” (The New York Times). In 2022, Vandever released Regrowth, an album that “features the ecstatic, brilliant melodies that have become Vandeve…
Stained Glass Starling
*300 copies limited edition* Belgian formation Razen joins forces with Dutch composer and theatre musician Dick Van der Harst for a new collaborative album Stained Glass Starling. Between modal mysticism and otherworldly folk trance, “Stained Glass Starling” draws the Razen universe into its deepest listening mode yet. After their recent LP Mirages (Kraak Records, 2025) with French turntablist Guilhem’All, the group continues to explore collaborations with artists and instruments from diverse mu…
Oranj
Oranj is a 14 track LP, recorded in 2025 between Chicago’s Rax Trax studios and Dock Street Studios in London, Andy Baxter taking on drums, keys, bass guitar with long time collaborator Francesca Uberti joining on Rhodes piano for four tracks. Featuring mix engineering from Hackney Recording Studio’s Sean Woodlock (4 songs) and by Lilac Lab’s Shawn Clendening in Chicago (10 songs). Partly an ode to the inventors of analog recording equipment and electric instruments in the middle of the 20th Cen…
Fata Morgana
On their new album Fata Morgana, an illusory trip of emotion and confrontation, Belgian duo schntzl conjure mirages of fleeting realities while diving headfirst into a trance-driven, confrontational digital sound. Fata Morgana unfolds like a hyper-visual journey, constructing enveloping dreamworlds through trance-infused live electronica. Yet trance here is present not in form but in essence—an intensity, a state of being. It may stir the same emotions as club music, but schntzl express them in …
Close-up On The Outside
Drummer/composer Booker Stardrum delivers a new powerful solo album Close-up On The Outside (27th Feb 2026), his first for We Jazz Records. The new record sees Stardrum (also a member of SML) doubling down on the earthy tactility of human sound and communication while also exploring rich, electroacoustic landscapes. The album, released on LP and digitally, involves Stardrum's close collaborators Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu, Chris Williams, Lester St. Louis, Logan Hone and Michael Coleman.

A Few We Remember
A Few We Remember is the new album by Jonah Parzen-Johnson and Lau Nau. The recording debut for the new duo of Finnish composer Lau Nau, aka Laura Naukkarinen, and American baritone saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson, it cycles between moments of knotty ambience, whispered melody, and innocent tinkering, as the duo improvises over 8 narrative scores composed by Parzen-Johnson. Jonah Parzen-Johnson says: “For me, telling a story is about more than sharing a set of facts. A well told story is the pr…
Things Gone and Things Here Still
*300 copies limited edition* Mister Water Wet returns to Soda Gong with "Things Gone and Things Here Still," an album that radically expands the project’s purview while preserving the homespun warmth and oblique tactility that have long defined Iggy Romeu’s work. Where earlier records tilted toward the dusty swing of sample-based beatcraft or spectral minimalist jazz, here Romeu opens the frame to a more ensemble-minded approach, inviting a stellar cast of supporting musicians, including SG alum…
Return of the Airpoets
Elations Recordings presents Return of the Airpoets, an exploratory recording from longtime collaborators Reuben Lewis and Adam Halliwell, occupying a unique space between contemporary experimental music and avant jazz. Engineered and mixed by Reuben Lewis in 2023, and featuring guest appearances from acclaimed Australian drummer Ronny Ferella. Return of the Airpoets continues a conversation begun with "Cygon Dance", an extended duo between Lewis and Halliwell from Halliwell's 2023 LP Freedom La…
All Bliss, Every Tree
*50 copies limited edition. All revenue from these tapes placed towards families in Gaza via mutual aid organisation Art Saves Collective, hand-marbled, each one goes different* Leaving label boss/producer/composer Matthewdavid presents a long-form cut from the Los Angeles trio of Aaron Shaw, Carlos Niño, and himself. The deep listening collage of zither, saxophone, and percussion was constructed through a process of re-sampling source material from the trio’s archive of live LA community concer…
An Account Of My Hut
Duo improvisations for shakuhachi and ney recorded in Ealing, west London, July and October 2007. Clive Bell (shakuhachi) and Bechir Saade (ney) - two deeply committed improvisers working at the intersection of traditional practice and contemporary exploration - unite for their first recording as a duo. An entirely acoustic affair. Both instruments are made of plants from the same grass family - the shakuhachi from bamboo, the ney from reeds - and share fundamental similarities in timbre, breath…
Reality Is Not a Theory
Reality Is Not a Theory by Mark Fell and Pat Thomas is a vivid collaboration exploring the friction between theorized structure and lived musical experience. By fusing Fell’s technologically limited triggers for creativity with Thomas’s exploratory improvisation, the album reimagines not only electronic and jazz vocabularies but also notions of time and agency, rendering a shifting landscape where each moment is both calculated and unexpected.
Forgetting is Violent
Forgetting is Violent, Patrick Shiroishi’s latest solo LP, is his most immediate release yet, expanding the scope not just of his music but of his extramusical considerations. Where his past releases on American Dreams reckoned with racism against Japanese Americans or presented Shiroishi’s saxophone as heard in a parking garage, Forgetting is Violent considers racism as a whole, historical and ongoing, with the urgency it deserves. Here, for the first time, we hear Shiroishi joined by a support…
