Sara Juega Y... + Vistas Fijas (Bundle)
Amazing find! ** Original copies of this wonderful 1985/86 releases. ** Two essential documents from the Mexican underground of the mid-1980s, now available together.
Rolando Chía's Sara Juega Y... (Al Ejandra, 1986) is a ghost-record of rare beauty: nine compositions of minimal folk that approach the tradition of American Primitivism - John Fahey, Robbie Basho - filtered through a deeply personal sensibility. An acoustic guitar that breathes, silences charged with meaning, the same patient atte…

*150 copies limited edition* Headlights Recordings presents Manuel Mota's new work 1-7. Manuel Mota is known for the personal vocabulary he has developed for the guitar. His music draws inspiration from a multitude of references loosely rooted in the blues tradition to craft a sound which was highly regarded by Derek Bailey. Actual but transmitting an enigmatic sense of timelessness. The moment of creation- composition, and the instrumental execution- playing, are to him indistinct, and that's w…
Autechre Guitar
This record shouldn’t, strictly speaking, be possible at all.
Guitar (For Loren)
*25 copies limited edition* The second release on Many Chants Records is a solo EP, Guitar (For Loren), dedicated to Loren Connors. It was recorded in April 2025 on 2 guitars after playing/recording taishogoto for two years non-stop. It’s my personal take on the idiom of Loren’s music.
I first came in touch with his music in the nineties through his connection with Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth. Our first encounter came in 2017 when I visited Loren at his appartment for a documentary I proposed…
Low clouds hang, this land is on fire
For his third new album release for Drag City, Tashi Dorji turns to the electric guitar. After the furious acoustic improvisations that drove the previous two—"Stateless" and "we will be wherever the fires are lit" — it’s easy to imagine an album of his electric guitar improvisations as an encompassingly incendiary essay. Especially when titled low clouds hang, this land is on fire. After all, this is a man capable of tearing up the place with the tactile musical violence of Bill Orcutt and Dere…

Lou Reed's infamous Metal Machine Music returns for its 50th Anniversary. The most notorious album in rock history returns – Remastered, Revisited, and Still as Radical as Ever
Bye Bye Bird
"Nina Garcia has been actively moving the art of noise guitar into surprising and intriguing new spaces. She has been at it for some time now, a bit of a secret weapon all the while hiding in plain sight. As I listen to her music and ruminate upon seeing her perform it brings me to a realization which I have with very few musicians: the ego inherent in making art can be transcended through a purity of direct action. At least that’s the feeling I have when experiencing Nina’s music which comes a…
Broken Guitars
2009 release ** Broken Guitars is the first recording by Italian visual artist Michele Lombardelli: acoustic guitar improvisations between Loren Connors, Derek Bailey and Robbie Basho, with a tinge of sadness that permeates every moment and creates a sense of longing and nostalgia that seems destined for a nameless past."
Gitarra Onomatopeikoa II
*250 copies limited edition* “Heavily influenced by 80's ambient & New Age music from Japan & Spain, (fans of Hiroshi Yoshimura, Finis Africae, Suso Saiz or Fumio Miyashita will feel at ease here) Iker Munduate presents 12 compositions of highly serene & contemplative minimal ambient music. Wind blowing through the trees, raindrops rolling down the windows, the sounds presented on this album are meant to complete the environment you are in. Filled with subtle textures and soothing harmonic conte…
The Other World
*300 copies limited edition* "The Other World was recorded in the spring of 2023 by Greg Norman at his home studio in Chicago. Each track was done in a single take without editing or manipulation. The recordings were made using a Stratocaster running into a minimal effects chain, which was then fed into a small solid state amplifier and captured by a pair of stereo microphones. I was interested in a sound palette that was very blanketed and gray, which led me to cut the high end tone of the guit…

Live recording from Mamer's solo performance 'The Imitator Series Ⅵ: Sky' on June 19, 2024 at Old Heaven Books.
Vibratory noise in anthropogenic habitats
*Dubbed on reused ferro tapes* Guitar music measured mostly by quietude not amplitude. Bold recording techniques - new amp. Everything recorded during a period of two nights.
En del av
Intimate guitar recordings made at C Haxholms home in the countryside. This tape to me feels like a quite unique snapshot into the Artists daily life, But at the same time the music feels very composed and thoughtful. A very sweet and heartwarming tape

Crucible
Crucible by Loren Mazzacane Connors & Suzanne Langille is a profound exploration of the raw emotional landscapes that can be sculpted through minimalistic yet deeply evocative sounds. The album resides at the intersection of experimental blues and avant-garde, creating a sound that is both hauntingly intimate and expansively atmospheric.
Each track seems to dwell in a space where the boundaries of music blur into a meditative state, driven by Loren's sparse guitar work and Suzanne's ethereal voc…
Solo Acoustic Guitar Improvisations VII
'Solo Acoustic Guitar Improvisations VII' is volume 7 in a series Dirk Serries is recording in honor of the Höfner archtop guitars. A few years ago Dirk fell in love with the acoustic guitar and specifically the Höfner brand for its specific and unique harsher sound their vintage archtop guitars hold. It's definitely far away from Dirk's electric constructions but at the same the acoustic approach is merely another way for him to express his fascination for sound in particular and how you can …
Demonstration Record
Tip! What you see before you, “iffy” cover and all is a solo project from noise-rock pioneer and The Dead C veteran Bruce Russell. Recorded on a mobile phone in the southern summer of 2023-24. This collection of live performances, sound collages, and solo improvisations have been pressed into a black slab with an “unfinished” cover. Bruce Russell, “Mr.Noisy”, the man that’s been “giving rock'n'roll a prison haircut since 1984” is letting us in, providing an “open-house” into the sonic alchemy of…
The Dreaming Bridge
*2024 repress* "... The Ohio-based guitarist's artistic leaps in recent years are rivaled only by those of Daniel Bachman, another once-precocious player formerly in the John Fahey / Jack Rose mold who has over the years transcended the idiom to create his own singular, deeply personal music. Rolin's latest LP, the double album The Dreaming Bridge, makes similar strides. For many practitioners of this style, the first and perhaps most challenging feat is to escape the gargantuan shadow of Fahey.…
