Experimental / Post-Everything

Sissi Rada's humble manifestations of the miracle of life, the troubles of love, the thoughts that span through a human mind while performing simple tasks, educated by her love and natural inclination to poetry, read like small vignettes, or marginalia notes on a diary that is of constant flux. Recorded, mixed and produced by Sissi alone, in her Athens’ home, using a spartan but powerful instrumentation of harp, a Prophet synthesizer, and first and foremost her intimate and enchanting voice, ‘Ap…

"If you're feeling pressed by the demands of the Imaginary Empire's vicious circuitry, whether you're on the outside or a little too inside for your comfort, here's an opportunity to experience something real, satisfying, and original. Most of the world may be going all wrong, but The Fully Celebrated Orchestra are always 'Right On.'" - Brad Lingham

Mature Defense Mechanism is an improvised experiment in the relationships between rock and jazz characterized by whimsy amidst seclusion. It’s natural territory for guitarist Kirsten Carey and drummer Aaron Edgcomb, who are both gaining reputations for adventurous and wide-ranging approaches to music making.

A high-octane tour-de-force widely considered in Japan to be one of the all-time greatest punk records, 1981's Don’t Eat Food! remains shockingly unknown to the rest of the world. Led by literate but unhinged Machida Machizo, a magnetic stage presence who sang in a thick Osaka dialect that sounded like nothing else at the time, INU came from the same scene as Aunt Sally and took Japan by storm in the late '70s with their powerful live show. Their membership changed frequently but INU's final lin…

Back in 2012, after series of concerts alongside each other, Vincent Dupas, Jean Baptiste Geoffroy and Jérôme Vassereau created Binidu in parallel with their respective bands, Fordamage and Pneu to name just a few, then very singular and of the most joyful french rock music. Their collaboration is a trek that started more than ten years ago from green and sunny pastures to sink over time into mountains surrounded by storms. Binidu holds nothing back in composition, always ready to reinvent itsel…

*100 copies limited edition* Six Minute War Madness was formed in 1992, with Xabier Iriondo and Paolo Cantù (guitars), Federico Ciappini (vocals), Massimo Marini (bass) and Daniele Misirliyan (drums) in the lineup. Il Vuoto Elettrico is the band's second album released only on CD in 1997 and recorded/mixed by Fabio Magistrali. A visceral album, with those sounds typical of Seattle, Chicago and Louisville of the 1990s. A noise-rock that fully photographs the need to bring certain sounds to the lo…

"The wash of flangers & shimmery reverb have been the foundation in Cali psych ever since the Byrds went electric. And while that sound might've dropped off occasionally, it never dropped out. The Velvets minimalist stylings were infused into the mix by The Dream Syndicate in the early 80's & thus a game changer was born. Clay Allison, Opal, Green On Red all took their charge from that current. Then the Shoegaze scene of the 90's looked at those bands as vectors, things got a little more drenche…

Recital is pleased to publish the first vinyl edition of Let the Darkness Fall, a forgotten corner from the vast discography of Suzanne Langille & Loren Connors. Joined here by David Daniell and Andrew Burnes (of the Atlanta-based group San Agustin), Darkness was recorded in the summer of 1998 on a Tascam Porta-5 in Loren and Suzanne’s Brooklyn living room, and issued the following year as a limited CD by Secretly Canadian. The tender gloom of Let the Darkness Fall sounds like a broadcast of som…

*2024 stock* "On the same day that MoE released “Skinwalker”, their collaboration with UK band Bruxa Marie, the Norwegian trio also released “Saint Vitus Dance”, itself also a collaboration with Escalantes (Martin and Oscar). As with “Skinwalker”, we can expect a lot of noisy experimental jazz improv / sludge doom rock fusion, though with Martin Escalante on saxophone the recording leans a bit more to the free jazz side. Even so, sludge doom metal fans shouldn’t dismiss this album as there’s ple…

*2024 stock* "I picked this album up because I was (and still am) enthralled by MoE’s 2018 release with Lasse Marhaug. The sardonically titled Tolerancia Picante, however, is a different beast altogether and this beast is punk rock. The adjective, the attitude, and the aesthetics. Not pop-punk or post-punk or one of those derivations, but straight-up cacophonous, cantankerous in-your-face aggression…minus the power chords and fueled by free jazz curiosity and musicality. “Tolerancia Picante” ope…

*2023 stock* "I started the “Electric Solo” project in 2008 – the same year I recorded my first pesonal album. A lot has happened since then; Concerts, personal albums, collaborative albums. Many tracks from these projects became part of the “Electric Solo” repertory and were performed live in an improvisational manner, reflecting the ambience of each night, the venues and my own mood. I chose to record tracks that were already part of my personal discography, along with some musical themes that…

Formed in 1992, Boris boldly explores their own vision of heavy music, where words like 'explosive' and 'thunderous' barely do justice.

This is the highly-requested, unbelievably-anticipated official vinyl and streaming release of Boris's 2002 album and…

Cotenius X is an exploratory improvisational project of the Ukrainian sound artist Daria Redkina and the Russian experimental vocalist Varya Pavlova aka Lisokot. Improvising together since 2017 they incorporate folk, electronic and musique concrète elements into their spontaneous compositions. “Plastic Bag” is a testament to collaboration - an archival reflection of the time the duo spent experimenting together. Their theatrical performances involve impersonation or adoption of different charact…

Calamita = Karkhana members Tony Elieh, Sharif Sehnaoui and Lebanese drummer Malek Rizkallah join forces with the Egyptian singer Aya Metwalli - the result is the improbable meeting between free jazz / improv, punk rock & Oum Kalthoum! Calamita is the "rock project" of Sharif Sehnaoui and Tony Elieh, two of the most active musicians on the Lebanese experimental scene (among others projects, both are members of the "free Middle Eastern music" collective Karkhana). Sehnaoui comes from a jazz and i…

*2024 stock* Bruit Direct Disques proudly announce our fourth release of 2015 with a new four track 12″ record by Mouse Sluts (Dan Melchior, Graham Lambkin, Letha Rodman Melchior and Glen) playing at glorious 45rpm. The music contained on this E.P. came about almost by accident. During a period of intense correspondence between Dan Melchior and Graham Lambkin, a story from a Folkestone area newspaper tickled the warped funny bones of the duo and gave birth to some lyrics that were dictated into …

*2024 stock* "Beyond classical music and free jazz, but also beyond abstract electronic music, there is the large field of instrumental music coming from classical music, which creates new listening habits without falling into one of the two negative extremes of New Music or Muzak. Performance Moritz Fasbender, pianist, theatre musician, fan of David Lynch - like Lynch in his films, she works with a very specific attention to echo chambers and the quietest disturbing noises, and how these can be…

The trio Lotto consists of: Łukasz Rychlicki (Kristen), Mike Majkowski (Hailu Mergia Trio, Oren Ambarchi Hubris) and Paweł Szpura (Hera, Wovoka). By publishing two completely different materials at the same time, they can cause considerable embarrassment to listeners and journalists or bloggers willing to pigeonhole and define them. The basic tracks for the Axolotl album were recorded at the end of September 2021 in Szczecin, and the recording engineer was Adam Sołtysik (Dynasonic). During the s…

The trio Lotto consists of: Łukasz Rychlicki (Kristen), Mike Majkowski (Hailu Mergia Trio, Oren Ambarchi Hubris) and Paweł Szpura (Hera, Wovoka). By publishing two completely different materials at the same time, they can cause considerable embarrassment to listeners and journalists or bloggers willing to pigeonhole and define them. In May 2022, Lotto performed at the Spatif club in Warsaw and it was this concert that gave the impetus to the creation of the Summer album. At that time, the band w…

"Boom Boom' contains 12 previously unreleased tracks, recorded in early 2023 during a break in their respective activities. After his album releas…

Emerging from the ethereal realms of sonic mastery, New Zealand’s most audacious experimental outfit, The Dead C, presents ‘Deux nuits à Paris’, two complete live sets that ensnares and exemplifies their ever-evolving sonic journey. From the pulsating metaphysical city of Dunedin, the band - Bruce Russell, Michael Morley, and Robbie Yeats - became a testament to the country’s under ground music scene, stirring the waters with their unorthodox sound landscapes since the late ‘80s. Profoundly phil…

MX-80 Sound is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, USA, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time, MX-80's signature sound consists of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock, post-punk, acid punk, and heavy-metal—MX-80's sonic melange set the stage for bands su…

*300 copies limited edition* "Like the Kolea (aka The Pacific Golden Plover) that migrates from the harsh winter tundra of Alaska & Siberia to the sunny climate of the Hawaiian Islands, Beastview Maul travels to warm & exotic lands not by wing but by sound waves. Hear the cascading waterfalls splash against the rocks below. Is that water or static? The distance between exotic lounge music and avant garde noise is not as far as you might think. Both allow the listener to be transported out of the…

*2023 stock. 20 copies limited edition* ""I repeat, My children, as I have told you in the past, that the great Council of Vatican II was manipulated by satan. He sat there among you and he worked you like a chessboard. What can you do now to recover? It is simple, My children: turn back and start over with the foundation given to you. You must bring respect back to your priesthood. You must bring respect back to your Holy Father...!" - Our Lady of the Roses, May 15, 1976 "

*363 copies limited edition* Alan Licht (electric guitar) and John Krausbauer (amplified violin/oscillators) have created two compositions on their new 7” that seemingly reside on opposite ends of the experimental/free-noise spectrum. Superstizione (Italian for "superstition") is a maximalist free-noise blast, seemingly chaotic, but with an intentional forward movement and flow. Licht's guitar playing starts off with a low end, thick fuzz, but quickly moves to an over-blown, frenetic pattern, al…
