Losing The War Inside Our Heads
“Losing The War Inside Our Heads” is the 17th official album by The Flying Luttenbachers. It is a desolate, bracing collection of music showcasing five varied new tracks of intense, composed modernism. The previous release “Terror Iridescence” (2022) was an abstract horrorscape of alienated dissonance marking founding member Weasel Walter’s transition back to the original base of operations, Chicago. Following four albums with New York based personnel since reviving the Flying Luttenbachers in 2…
Black Blues
Keiji Haino is, without question, one of the truly iconic artists to rise beyond the dusk of the 20th century. An artist focused singularly of the beautiful visceral promise of music, his practice is a many headed beast taking in movements from the gentlest of guitar play, through free improvisation and noise. As divergent as the work might be, it is held tightly by his unique way in sound, one that exists moment to moment with a force like no other. 20 years since its first release, Black Blues…
Tokokawa
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* “This collaborative release presents three immersive movements of avant-electronics full of unexpected tonal contrasts and shifts in intensity. Powered by modular synthesis, “concrete” assemblage technique and a pervasive desire to work with the full spectrum of sound. Tokokawa is the product of its two producers’ commitment to a dynamic, ever-renewing sense of aesthetics.” -Thomas Bey William Bailey
Composed from 2023 to 2024, these three pieces present a deep …
The Least of Both Worlds
Scratching surfaces and moving through a sense of non meaning confusion stuck in a place that pushes mysterious sense of forshadowing and disheveled overture. Stretching and breaking live and deconstructed recordings assembled at two sites, deconstructed and reassembled for our pleasure and possibly yous. Shadow Glass is the new duo of Nathan Ivanco and Matthew Conzett.
The Devil and the River, Vol. 1
In his most recent solo release, "The Devil And The River: Volume One", recorded live in his rural New Mexico studio, William Fowler Collins tremolo brushes his electric guitar using a calligraphy brush, playing a single chord with no overdubs to produce two compelling side-long pieces of music. Ever present are the minimalist widescreen reflections of the high desert environment in which he lives, with the two sides giving the impressions of a sun rising and then a sun setting over the vast and…

The Movers Brought Rainbows
Long-running Jersey outfit Human Adult Band come to us after dropping a sickening array of no-fi noise rock and damaged art punk tapes and records upon the public. And yet, The Movers Brought Rainbows is probably their most abstract and alien work to date. While the guitar/bass/drums/voice formation is still the genesis of these recordings, at its core feedback and reverb are the star players here. Source sessions recorded at various locations are unapologetically run through the ringer, subject…
Sintered
Tip! Tim Olive lives in and operates out of Kobe, Japan, where he has built an impressive discography of solo and collaborative recordings using magnetic pickups as a primary instrument. Sintered was created with several of these magnetic pickups, along with metal objects, radios, and spring reverb. Working with such temperamental technology, it’s clear that Olive’s intuition and timing are assets put to good use here, sharpened from decades of collaboration and improvisation, from his early wor…

The Compromise Is Not Possible
2008 release. The Compromise Is Not Possible was composed at the end of the 2004 by Slobodan Kajkut. It was commissioned by Hoerfest, a festival of contemporary and experimental music. Composed with the concept of combining contemporary techniques with heavy metal elements, the piece brings crushing guitar/drums parts with various screamings of voice, combined with silent high and low organ drones.
Space Denial
Wasteland Jazz Unit is Jon Lorenz and John Rich on saxophone and clarinet. The first full length of this apocalyptic Cincinnati duo is simply akin to the sonic equivalent of pouring molten silver (at 700°C) inside an ear. Space Denial is a powerful destruction trip pushing all the limits of reed electronic manipulations to areas and heights only explored by the mighty Borbetomagus.
Indications Of Nigredo
Sick 12" vinyl by IRM. What starts out as a subtly haunting maniac turns into a heavy-breathing, unpredictably violent maniac, all while exploring wonderfully original instrumental facets to underscore the voice/electronics. On the theme of alchemy and the topics of shame vs. bodily self infliction, IRM makes way for a new start after the inspired “Virgin Mind” double-disc set from 2005. These are new recordings with the new member Mikael Oretoft joining on bass. Two long tracks - the first bein…

In old ancient egyptian tombs the first incendiary devices were discovered and locked into jade encrusted cases. the cases were found clutched in the charred bodies of the fire army.

Moldy Cushions
"Moldy Cushions was recorded from the summer of 2022 until spring 2023 at my new Clamorworks studio in San Pablo, California. Additional parts were recorded in Brasília, Brazil while working on the SESILab science museum and in Hyderabad, India while on tour with Seeded Plain. This is my first solo album since 2016's Bizarre Flight on Gertrude Tapes, with most of the time in-between focused on other collaborative projects.The pieces on Moldy Cushions started as improvised sketches, with many of …
