T.O.
"Last time we heard the powerhouse duo of Chris Shields (Marcel du Swamp, Ro) and Alexander Holm (Sensorisk Verden label boss), they called an audience member during the show on a homemade telephone while shaking dice, giving each other unidentified signs and cues, and presenting their special flavor of musique concrete. Voice, tape, synth (?). Beautiful sound. New record is bonkers" - L. Dusk.
Variables of Uncertainty
"Have you ever sensed a landscape change in front you? The sand under your feet completely change colour or structure. Certain places we enter calls for a different mode of engagement. In front of me is a piece of paper. On the paper a hand have scrippled nervous lines and strokes. Some of these lines form what could be words, others look like broken tools or thoughts never materialized. When I pick up one of the broken tools, i notice how it turns into a word, letters of unknown origin grows ou…
Embedded Listening by Felaia
The first full length solo album by musician and visual artist Felia Gram-Hanssen. Taking on different roles as field recordist, singer, producer and drummer Gram-Hanssen weaves together different parts of her praxis, which results in a diverse sound environment somewhere between drone rock and music concrete.

Salvado
*300 copies limited release* Recorded during two days in the spring of 2022, Salvado sees Lettera 22 go all in musique concrete. One single long tape loop worming its way around a room through three reel recorders, only sparingly tampered with in the process. The result is far from uneventful or passive though, as all the ghosts in the old machinery seem to come alive. An album perfect for nighttime immersion. Loud playback recommended.
Microstorie
*Limited Edition* Far from the brightest spots in the hype system, hailing from the western genovese area, St.Ride is an eclectic duo, experimenting obscure, disturbing and twisted sides of electronic/ambient music since 2001.There's an irrational stream of consciousness, a free flow between the acid beats and the cold and distant synth pads, and actually we can say that the band composed by Maurizio Gusmerini and Edo Grandi has many ways and languages to underline the disintegration of the song…
Prohibited For Ritual Use
*20 copies ultra limited edition* Recorded at High Castle in moscow, probably in spring 2022.Drums, bass, synths and fx by untone. Synths, drums, voice and mastering by ieronim.
Journey Through Underworlds
The classic, genre-defining 1993 album from Lull - the pioneering, isolationist dark ambient project of Mick Harris of Scorn, Fret, ex-Napalm Death - is a dark journey through the Stygian netherworlds of Hell. The listener is left with the impression of a final escape into reality; a return upon waking, with only wispy trace memories and the heavy rush of blood-pumping fear as a keepsake. With this album, we are plunged back into a dark pit of noise - all escape barred, all hope dashed. The nigh…
Temple IV
This is the first vinyl issue of Temple IV, arguably Roy Montgomery's finest solo album, originally released in 1996 on CD. The original album has been enhanced with two newer tracks that constitute side four of the album. Montgomery states: "The two new tracks recorded in 2018 were about asking the question "Can you step into the same river twice?" Heraclitus said you cannot. I say you can ..."
Inauspicious
*200 copies limited edition* In a recent interview, the california artist Jim Haynes was asked to name his top five noise albums. In quick fashion, he listed Off Kill the King, Send, Desnos, Persona, and Carcinosi. Since then, he's equivocated on which albums to choose, but the artists behind such works remain as the adjacent signposts and landmarks to his own constructions of industrial noise. How those records connect to the output from haynes is found in their unique combination of smoldering…

Pastoral
*200 copies, limited edition* While Korm Plastics publishes books these days, this is a surprise CD only release. We sent him this demo in 2011 & we all forgot about it. Pastoral is a welcome edition to the catalog showcasing a less aggressive stance from the project, a more organic subdued presentation, sounds to make a clearing, & open space. The recordings history is a bit blurred now but it is very likely tracks 1, 2, 3, & 5 are Kurt Griesch and Daniel Burke, post 1995 tour work. Track four …

They quickly released a few cassettes and contributed to international compilations, and Nijs started a short-lived label, Disabuse Transmissions.

Spires
*30 copies limited edition* "Bright lights of impossible architecture, airwaves are your travelling wings. I rode up some of those ones, it was already night. It looked like some future city, lights of villages on the other hills below as far as light not obscuring. Interesting scene. Invisible city of trees. Continuing its spiritual journey, where the self-titled LP was inspired by erosion and the jaws of time as an elemental force, “Spires” explores its vision in the forward vector, a future m…
Borrowed Photograph
Distorted flows of emotional vistas, frozen and stretched in time. Oceans of song folding in on themselves, breaking like bitcrushed foam underneath the waves. A distilled stream of states.
An evening with nehan
Nehan is a Japanese free improvisation/avant-garde rock quintet formed in 2022. Their performance is initiated by a 9HZ brain wave emitted from a testee who has been brought into a deep meditative state. nehan respond with gongs, typani, tabla and other percussion, crumhorn, bagpipes, oscillator and mellotron, passing tranformatively through a musical prism, from east to west, from traditional folk and classical to rock, jazz, and electronic.

On the a-side, Bird’s Song starts things off with John’s beautiful pulsing organ swells, while Patrick comes in blustering and quick with a cacophony of notes. The world is waking up. They then set off t…
Polaroids
Tip! *2023 stock* Polaroids is the latest from Italian musician and sound artist Angelo Bignamini. Its not everyday that I get a demo submission which grabs my attention like Polaroids did.
