Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum Of Memory
Sixteen(!) years after Vol. III - A Hand Full of Days, B’ee returns with the long-awaited next chapter - Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum of Memory.
Maranatha
Marana tha is the sole full-length statement by Megan Sue Hicks, a quietly incandescent artifact of early 70s psychedelic folk. Cut in Australia and pressed in microscopic quantities, it frames intimate, spiritually tinged songs in hushed acoustic settings that feel both homespun and faintly otherworldly.
Kathy Smith / 2
With Kathy Smith / 2, Kathy Smith pushes her Stormy Forest songcraft into a shimmering intersection of jazz, psych-folk and California road-dust. Brass, flutes and subtle funk currents coil around a voice that feels both weathered and luminous, turning outsider singer-songwriter reveries into widescreen, late‑night epiphanies.
Sandy
On Sandy, Sandy Denny sharpens intimacy into something orchestral, fusing folk clarity with country shimmer and chamber strings. The album feels like a private notebook sung aloud, where regret, resilience and quiet defiance unfold with luminous, unhurried precision.
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens finds Sandy Denny stepping from the wreckage of Fotheringay into a dreamlike solo territory, where maritime omens, cryptic elegies and barroom detours collide. The arrangements are spare yet spectral, framing lyrics that read like riddles whispered to the tide.
Like an Old Fashioned Waltz
On Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, Sandy Denny leans into cinema-lit nostalgia, braiding English folk melancholy with 30s-inflected strings and jazz standards. Time, memory and solitude waltz together, her voice hovering between confessional intimacy and silver-screen reverie, poised at the fragile brink of reinvention.
Steenkiste - Bischoff
*250 copies limited edition* “Steenkiste - Bischoff” is a new album recorded as a correspondence between two contemporary European weird music staples: Glen Steenkiste (Hellvete, Sylvester Anfang) from Belgium and Sebastian Bischoff (also known as Son of Buzzi) from Switzerland. Album will be released on December 1st 2025 in an edition of 250 copies. All in screenprinted jackets with artwork by Jakob Battick and write up by Holger Adam (at whose house Glen and Sebastian performed together for th…
Galaxia Tropical
Born in 1935 as Jorge Raúl Llerena Vásquez, Ranil’s story begins in the Peruvian Amazon, in a corner where the sounds of the forest fuse with stray radio waves from Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador. After winning several local singing contests as a young man, he quickly realized that breaking into Peru’s music industry — especially as an artist from “the end of the world” — would not be an easy path. So he focused on his studies, becoming a teacher in a rural town near the Brazilian border, quietly…
Chance
The home-recorded album everything pointed to - now on vinyl and CD for the first time. After several delays, we finally received the long-awaited production date from the pressing plant - and are happy to share this long-overdue announcement. Following the 2022 reissue of Scott Seskind’s 1985 debut, there was never a question - we wanted to go further.
Ebalunga!!! exists to restore forgotten gems, and Scott’s music has been warming our hearts for years. So, to our own joy - and in response to a…
Play Boy / Descarga Rogers’
Two almost-impossible-to-find Amazonian rarities, finally reissued together for the first time on a single. On one side, Los Playboys’ instrumental ‘Play Boy’, packed with all the hallmarks of psychedelic cumbia—playful surf-tinged guitars and a hypnotic, dancefloor-ready groove. On the flip side, a fiery Cuban-influenced Descarga jam from Iquitos’ obscure band Los Roger’s.
Iquitos, one of Peru’s most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia…
Yanti Bersaudara
Sought-after eponymous Indonesian album by the Yanti Bersaudara (which means the Yanti sisters: Yani, Tina & Lin Hardjakusumah), released in 1971 and reissued for the first time. It is a very spiritual and magical Sunda album with haunting vibes based on a unique, creative and strong Sundanese cultural heritage. Active only for less than a decade (from the 1960s until the early 1970s), the three sisters originally from Bandung (West Java) sang traditional sundanese songs with beautiful voices & …
1975 Mekeel Sessions
For years, Jackson C. Frank was as ghostly a legend as they come. Even the relatively few record collectors who revered his work were only aware of the lone LP released during his lifetime. For all most listeners knew, Frank made an incredible album in 1965 and then vanished, despite that record having been produced by Paul Simon.
1975 Mekeel Sessions features six tracks recorded in the mid-'70s at a studio in Lake Hill, New York about five miles from Woodstock where Frank was living at the time…
Salt Of The Sun
2007 release “New minimal full-length album from Family Underground that abandons the drug-hit-sally-inside feel of early Velvets jags for the sound of the last gasp of Lou Reed’s long-suffering amp in the final seconds of ‘Black Angel’s Death Song’ extended to oblivion. Comes in a fold-out four panel digipak.”
Neverending Blues
2008 release "According to Indian mythology everything was born and will be born with vibration, sound. What Western civilization calls music, is narrow, nothing but strictly controlled thread in that vibrating area. Other kind of threads have been mastered elsewhere. Inevitably these threads will also face each other and become one. Basic note chimes in blues, raga and mantra. I dreamt of musics and players who can modulate with music, no matter which cultural background they come from – I felt…
Never Forget Me
Never Forget Me is the second release on EM Records from Angkanang Kunchai, one of the greatest Thai singers; the original 1979 vinyl release, now extremely rare, was a collection of her self-produced songs, backed by her own band. This radically independent stance, though admirable, caused the album to languish in relative obscurity, due to her lack of support from the business masters of the Thai music scene of the time. "Never Forget Me" is a plea to her fans, and although the original album …
Barry Dransfield
*2025 stock* In 1972, Barry Dransfield recorded his debut solo album. Just called “Barry Dransfield”, the album is a real delight from start to finish. It features an array of traditional songs arranged by Barry, some original ones and some fantastic covers from people like Michael Hurley (“The werewolf”) and David Ackles (“Be my friend”). Sadly, the album was deleted just after nine months from his initial release, because it was released on Folk Mill, a Polydor sublabel created to enter the fo…
Tender Revolutions
Expansive and ambitious, Tender Revolutions is the latest from Vietnam-born, Portland-based multimedia artist Dao Strom. A fluid album, existing between genres—part ambient folk, part sound collage, part spoken word, part post rock—it blurs the line between the work of an experimental composer and the work of an accomplished singer-songwriter. Instruments slip in and out (guitar, piano, synthesizer, strings, drums, percussion) amid field recordings and samples, all anchored by Strom’s singular v…
A Fraying Space
2025 stock Imagine being a punk rocker before there were any others, or a hippie whose message of peace was infused with a sardonic whimsy. That’s what it must have been like to be Pip Proud, in Sydney in the late 1960s, railing against the media and its hypocrisies, making a music that cut through all lies. — David Nichols Pip Proud, sui generis, could be considered an Australian outsider, with his untutored and uninhibited singing style, his primal guitar playing, his resolutely personal visio…
Seeds
Alan James Eastwood's glorious Seeds is a certified folk-funk lost-classic. But who was Alan James Eastwood? He had never hit the big time and commercial success eluded him. By the mid-1970s, his musical career was pretty much over and he was almost unknown except among deep heads, amongst whom he would gain cult status.
Original copies of the 1971 vinyl release of Seeds exchange hands for high sums, if you can find one. This expanded 2LP contains an extra record, collecting 9 rare non-album sin…
Friends
H&F Recordings’ album Friends, sometimes known as Fragile, is a rediscovered gem of early 1970s British psych-folk. Crafted by Peter Howell and John Ferdinando, this collaborative project—originally issued as a private press—displays gentle harmonies, intricate acoustic textures, and a disarmingly intimate approach, now remastered for fresh ears after decades of semi-mythical obscurity.
