SCHILLING	Details	LP	APPAREL TRONIC	APLTRONIC 026LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Details marks SCHiLLiNG's return after years of research, above all on himself. It brings together the practices that have become essential to him: composition, sampling, sonic patchworks, and a palette that mirrors the full spectrum of his musical identity, from rock'n'roll to trip-hop and ambient. Details is rich in small edits, hidden layers, fragile textures, and fragments that reveal themselves slowly. Yet the word carries a deeper meaning: what truly matters is often the smallest element, what doesn't appear clearly at first glance or on first listen, yet quietly holds the core of everything. The detail as the very pulse of one's inner world. Across 14 tracks, the album unfolds as a diverse journey, carefully shaped yet open enough to allow unexpected elements and subtle imperfections to remain part of its flow. The structure is not binding, you can begin from any track and embark on your own path through it. Each piece contributes to a wider arc without overpowering the others. The album includes collaborations with several artists who lent their talent to the project; their names appear in the credits of the physical release. In many ways, they embody the very idea behind the title: individual presences, each bringing their own nuance, forming a whole together. After all, fragments, in their union, shape the larger totality. Details doesn't ask to be consumed in a specific way, fast or slow, close or distant. It simply is what it is.

LIEBING/LUKE SLATER, CHRIS	Double Split (Terence Fixmer Remixes)	12"	CLR	CLR 142EP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Terence Fixmer reimagines Chris Liebing and Luke Slater's "Double Split" for CLR. Fixmer's remixes of Liebing/Slater's collaboration from the former's Evolver LP release. From deep and mind-bending to experimental and soulful, he is a visionary who has been hugely prolific, with many standout LPs and EPs on labels such as Mute Records, Novamute, Ostgut Ton, and Planete Rouge Records. Fixmer's first "Double Split" remix is inspired by the energy of the original, but focused on dubbier, hypnotic vibes. Then comes the "Melting Mind" rework, which is boiled down to a handful of key elements, not least the original's penetrating acid line. It's an immersive, late-night dive that locks you in a state of constant motion and unrelenting pressure.

PRISON	Big Rigs on the BQE	LP	DRAG CITY	DC 985LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 "Prison's third big one, Big Rigs on the BQE, finds the jammers of legend far away -- miles from Downstate (2025) and Upstate (2023): driving further down the road, Prison's guitar, bass and drums compel them to dream LOUD. An improvised rock and roll tapestry, multiple impulses, intersections and lifelines rended with gas 'n guitar pedal on down to the metal. Reflecting real lives lived today, sprawled and recalled in undulating electroacoustic performance. On March 7th 2024, Prison vets Sarim Al-Rawi, Matt Lilly, and Paul Major on guitars and drums were joined by Mike Donovan on fuzz organ, percussionist Ryan Sawyer and Downstate's Matt Leibowitz (back on bass, and synth too this time) at a Sunset Park studio where they could see the fucking highway from the studio windows. It kind of set the tone. Downstate guitarist Adam Reich switched it up too; as studio honcho/engineer/mixer, he scored a couple FX/remix passages that are of the performance on both sides. Big Rigs on the BQE is the sound of Sarim, Matt, Paul, Mike, Ryan, Matt and Adam in wicked battle and glorious play, a far-ranging scrum of Groundhogs/Velvets/Hampton's/Pink Fairies/Magic Band/ Good Rats/Can propositions powering guitars, bass, drums and organ (and synth!) that day: a beast, imagining a better allegory for qualities of the 'spirit of the jam/road trip' duality. Paul and Sarim's vocal shouts transmit a kind of road-thoughts as they come, circular processing loosely knotted loops in different ranges and a couple different levels! These are deep, searing, multipurpose jams. Big Rigs on the BQE is a kind of travelogue, two side-long trips that take flight and fight another day in the never-ending process. It's a beautiful opportunity to send new blasts of positive energy out to the world. Prison of one, freedom of many!"

ASKEW, ED	The Final Painting	LP	DRAG CITY	DC 987LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 "Time stands stunningly still on The Final Painting, the dreamy, elegiac final album from legendary underground singer-songwriter/poet/painter Ed Askew. Ed started his singing career in 1968 with a self-titled LP release on NYC's infamous freejazz/free-folk ESP-Disk' label. Upon returning to New York in the early '80s, he began circulating cassettes of his self-recorded new songs. This was a fascinating and unlikely new chapter in his music, but only a few noticed. In the years following, additional new and archival Askew recordings have been released through Tin Angel, Drag City and Improved Sequence Records. By the time Ed turned 80 in 2020, his health was declining to the point that touring was impossible and even leaving his place was a challenge. In his Brooklyn apartment, he continued to tape new songs, posting them on his Bandcamp page. Their stark and fragile quality was singular, inspiring thoughts of a new production fleshing out Ed's two-track home recordings. Ed was into it; he forwarded nearly three dozen songs in different stages of completion and the two plotted a path forward. For the World featured acoustic piano, banjo and harp; the songs here, played by Ed on keyboards, synth and harmonica suggested trumpet, tenor saxophone and other sonic touches to expand their existentially lonely sound. Health scares for both men delayed things until early 2024, when various musicians recorded their parts either at home or in a Nashville Studio, with Styrofoam Winos' Trevor Nikrant and Ryan Davis's Roadhouse Band taking their turns almost in response to one another. The Final Painting not only defies the curse of sequels and the ten-year gap between the two DeCicca/Askew productions, it's also a wonderous variation on the intimacy of the self-portrait, an expression from the twilight of one of the most unique artists to emerge in last half of the 20th century. The Final Painting reinvites For the World contributors Sharon Van Etten, Eve Searls, and Canaan Faulkner, and new guests Bill Callahan, William Tyler, Ryan Jewell, Dustin Laurenzi, and Fulvio Sigurta. In their last conversation, just days before Ed passed in January 2025, he and Jerry agreed to: a) use the painting left on the easel of Ed's now-empty apartment and b) call the album The Final Painting. Profoundly resonant in the style of Frank Sinatra's Watertown and David Bowie's Blackstar, The Final Painting is faithful to the spirit of Ed Askew and his DIY nature and Modernist values, pursued for years and years throughout life, art and music, all the way to the very end."

BISHOP, SIR RICHARD	Hillbilly Erotica	CD	DRAG CITY	DC 988CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 "Sir Richard Bishop returns for a new spontaneous six-string meshing of people's music, recollections and psychic intentions. Are y'all ready for some Hillbilly Erotica? Migration from last album's Ragas to this new Erotica is another chapter in Bishop's progress, drifting via songs into the further frontiers of his pappy's hometown sounds, trancing over and out in their hand-me-down clothes. As with the ragas, the 'rotica's hung round the neck of John Fahey's infamous dubbing of certain traditional American folk sounds as 'American Primitive.' A perfectly good thought, but Sir Richard picks his own axe and chose a separate path. Rushing through gutters and picking pickled brains in the saucy headwaters of the down-low and literal American primitive, his hillbilly music is a mash of brined cultural inheritance, mini-ragas and moonshine-drunk savagery breaking out on the frets. As a conception for Sir Rick's acoustic guitar music, it's a dynamite means and frame, centering his improvisations in a place overflown with pagan desire and unbound in deliverance. Here he flies up and down the neck, his manner less pristine, yet more exquisite, a flailing, flowing-on-the-river medley through stubborn whitewater turbulence, post-grass and folk's classical gas. Anybody who takes a snort of this here Hillbilly Erotica will find a frankly spellbinding richness of intent and execution in their ear-mouths. And may thereafter find brain and blightness. It's fine! Like with Hillbilly Ragas, Sir Richard plays one acoustic guitar on all eight Hillbilly Erotica cuts, no overdubs and, but for the closing 'Postcoital Serenade,' improvised entirely. The not-so-sexy 'sexy' angle of song titles like 'Lick Skillet,' 'Sweet Lips,' 'Hookers Bend,' and 'Finger, Tennessee' is actually actual names for dots on the map in rural TN, each one just five minutes removed -- by horse, of course -- from Richard's dad's remote Enville homestead, its town name purloined previously for a song on 2020's Oneiric Formulary. This ancestral interzone's a venue of interest for Rick, allowing him to ask the deep questions, like 'What the hell has been going on around here with place names like these?' while running down the changes like no one else before. Hillbilly Erotica promises unspoken wonders of the world around each and every dark corner, revelations of legacy, a new spyglass to sight your forebears! Imagined American music at its most gorgeous and violent, simply achieved by Sir Richard Bishop through a powerful application of steel-stringed instrumentation and delightfully exhaustive flights of speculative thought."

MLO	Io	CD	FOREVER RECORDS	FRVR 003CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Sublime frequencies from the golden era of ambient electronica. Plumbing hidden depths beneath a deceptively tranquil surface, MLO's mid-'90s masterpiece Io is an overlooked gem from a golden era for ambient electronic music. Originally released in 1994, Jon Tye and Pete Smith's collaborative album responded to the growing chill-out movement by leaning into classical and avant-garde influences from Satie, Debussy, and Cage through to Soft Machine, Incredible String Band, and Eno. Recorded across various studios stacked with classic and rare synths, Io was patiently composed into slowly unfolding suites punctuated with ripples of arrhythmic interference to arrive at a purist vision of true ambient. The next instalment in Forever Records' ongoing reissue series shines a light back on this landmark piece of UK electronica with the first official reissue since its original edition on Rising High. As well as the original double LP (FRVR 003LP) pressing and a new CD digipak version, there is also a uniquely numbered, limited edition housed in a gatefold sleeve that comes with a bonus 10" featuring two previously unreleased versions of the album's opening cut, "Wimborne" (FRVR 003LTD-LP).

EXPOSITO, MARCELO	The Lost Tapes (White Vinyl)	LP	GEOMETRICK	GR 2165LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Geometrik Records once again plays a part in the exclusive recovery of Marcelo Expósito's previously unpublished work, which had been lost since its original creation in the 1980s. Marcelo Expósito is one of Spain's most internationally renowned contemporary artists, whose work is regularly exhibited across Europe and Latin America. He began his career at a very young age during the era of sound experimentation that flourished in the wake of so-called industrial culture, which found particularly fertile ground in Spain. As co-editor of legendary publications such as the fanzine Experiencias (1983) and, above all, the cassette-fanzine publisher Necronomicón (1983?1987), which operated on an international scale, Marcelo Expósito has, in recent years, been reconstructing those of his sound experiments that had been lost for decades. This album brings together material previously released on cassettes as EGK023 in a very limited edition. These tracks have now been remastered and expanded to complete this record, which noise musician Mattin has described as "secret recordings that constitute a gem from the rich Spanish underground of the 1980s." In the words of Luis Alvarado, editor of the Peruvian label Buh Records, this album "allows us to appreciate how Expósito developed a style of his own that understood sound as a malleable material open to chance. The recordings gathered on The Lost Tapes reveal an artist who moves as much through territories of unsettling textures and atmospheres as through zones of abstraction and radical noise." Influenced by the early work of figures such as Maurizio Bianchi, Nurse With Wound, and La Otra Cara de un Jardín, the release of this album provides a key piece in reconstructing the genealogical puzzle of Spanish experimental music. This carefully curated edition -- in Spanish and English -- includes a lengthy essay by Marcelo Expósito on the creative processes behind his work and the historical context of the industrial culture of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as extensive liner notes contributed by Vittore Baroni, editor of the legendary Italian label Trax; Francisco Felipe, co-founder of the Ars Sonora program on Radio Clásica (Radio Nacional de España) and one of the most active names on the Spanish experimental scene of the 1980s; Mattin and Susana López (Susan Drone), key figures in the sound experimentation of the generation that emerged in the 2000s; as well as the aforementioned Luis Alvarado.

PARASITE JAZZ	II	LP	DISQUES DE LA SPIRALE	LPSI 007LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Second album of French incendiary fake big band Parasite Jazz. A krautrock, jazz-non-jazz, experimental album recorded along four seasons by three musicians (Alex Larsen, Tamara Goukassova, and Théo Delaunay) from the French fringes; members of Succhiamo, Diagonale des Yeux, Simple Music Experience, and Violent Quand on Aime. Featuring Radio Hito, Kyle Knapp (Deliluh), and Hochiwah. After its first release in 2023, the tiny big band Parasite Jazz brings its public iterations to fruition with this testament to an alternate reality, matured voyaging across France over the span of four seasons. It sees the music flee through exuberant forests and steep troglodytes; a parallel genre movie with a soundtrack of diluvian rhythms, mocking chants, jazz noir and voodoo accidents. In this shifting, autonomous world, the elastic orchestra -- whose members keep on appearing and disappearing -- plays for nocturnal secrets and feverish cavalcades.

LOUISIANA RED	Antinuclear Blues	CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3622CD
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 "Louisiana Red was born in Alabama in March 1932 and died in Hanover almost exactly 80 years later. The early life of Iverson Minter, also known as Louisiana Red, was marked by suffering. His mother died of pneumonia a week after he was born. When he was five years old, his father was executed by the Ku Klux Klan. After that, he lived in orphanages until he was able to spend the rest of his childhood with his grandmother. As a teenager, he was sentenced to hard labor for burglary and subsequently sent by Uncle Sam to the Korean War. Iverson had wanted to become a blues musician ever since he had met Muddy Waters. In the late 1950s, he played in John Lee Hooker's band. In the mid-1970s, he moved to Europe, where he gained recognition among a wider audience through appearances at the WDR Rockpalast and the Montreux Jazz Festival. In the 1980s, Fritz Rau signed Louisiana Red for his successful festival series, the 'American Folk Blues Festival.' In 1983, he released his acclaimed album Anti-Nuclear Blues, whose content and message are more relevant today than ever. The original vinyl edition has since become a sought-after rarity. Now, the album is being rereleased, featuring six bonus tracks from the 1981 'American Folk Blues Festival,' as well as a reissue on vinyl with a fresh sound."

LOCKNESS, LUTECE	Le Cha	LP	PAN EUROPEAN RECORDING	PAN 117LP
$43.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Creator of Le Châ, a chimera emerging from the margins, Lutèce Lockness builds worlds where dreamlike imagery and satire intertwine, inviting listeners to embrace the bizarre, the strange, and the intimate. With her debut album Le Châ, she crafts powerful, incantatory soundscapes. Her compositions blend psychedelic tones, medieval timbres, drifting drones, bouzouki improvisations, and digital textures, enriched through collaborations with Christoph Fink, Maxime Denuc, and Jean Rondeau. Inspired by David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, and Hayao Miyazaki, her practice shapes sonic material like exquisite corpses. Across disciplines, Lutèce Lockness explores new territories through projects such as the collective book Bande organisée (Seuil), born from the transport of a stone book across France during lockdown, and as part of the feminist punk group Forsissies. On stage, she has opened for Bonnie Banane at the Olympia and Flavien Berger at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes.

HUMAN ERROR CLUB	Human Error Club	LP	PREFERENCE RECORDS	PRF 001LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Human Error Club is keyboardists Diego Gaeta and Jesse Justice and drummer Mekala Session. Gaeta is a jazz-trained pianist with a restless harmonic imagination. Justice honed his chops making beats before trading his MPC for a Fender Rhodes, always maintaining a producer's ear for texture and detail. Session, raised in Los Angeles' Leimert Park, studied under the legendary drummer Billy Higgins, and also leads the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. All hailing from different corners of LA, these longtime musician friends came together in 2019 as a solution to a recurring dilemma: good bassists are hard to find. What was originally meant to be a one-off for the underground series BackbeatLA turned into a regular thing, and soon the trio was in the studio recording what would become their debut album.

I MARC 4	Silver Music	LP	SONOR MUSIC EDITIONS	SME 093LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 The legends of the golden era of Italian soundtracks and library music go by many names, but the backbone of that era's definitive sonic identity is most often identified as I Marc 4 (also known as Marc 4 or I Marc Quattro). While the moniker might be less familiar to the uninitiated, it is a simple acronym derived from its founding members: Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (organ), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar). The number 4 serves to highlight the core synergy of these four master musicians. Their journey began in Rome's vibrant jazz scene of the 1950s and early 1960s, where they honed their craft as members of the RAI national orchestra and collaborated with the most prominent jazz and pop icons of the day. However, it was their pivotal role in defining the Italian cinematic sound of the 1960s and 1970s that secured their legacy. Their unmistakable style was an eclectic fusion of beat, jazz, classical, and Latin influences -- textured with early synthesizers, experimental sound effects, and a blend of electronic and baroque instrumentation. Beyond their work as session luminaries, they produced a vast body of library music under their own name at the legendary Telecinesound Studios in Rome. These recordings were released through prestigious library labels like Sermi, Ricordi, and Fonit Cetra, as well as through their own imprints: Nelson Records, Silver Men, and Silver Music, spanning a definitive series of sixteen albums. Ten of these volumes were issued on Nelson Records during the 1970s, featuring the now-iconic military stencil design. The series was completed by two elusive companion releases: S.M. 2001 on Silver Music and S.M. 2002 on Silver Men, both presented in the same distinctive brown sleeve. Rediscovered in the 1990s and 2000s, these Nelson releases have since achieved cult status among collectors, producers, and DJs worldwide. The final two installments, S.M. 2001 and S.M. 2002, remain the rarest and most enigmatic of the set. Often overlooked, they contain some of the most profound "hidden gems" in the group's catalog. Sonor Music Editions has meticulously curated the finest moments from these two rare albums for this first-ever dedicated reissue. Bringing together the best of Silver Music (S.M. 2001) and Silver Men (S.M. 2002), this release retains the iconic stencil artwork but introduces a striking silver finish.

TOUB, DAVID	Gendarme de la Libertad	CD	SUB ROSA	SR 582CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Performed by Stephan Ginsburgh. A European premiere of piano pieces and recordings by American minimalist composer David Toub. Two powerful pieces that propel him among the most adventurous composers of recent years. "'Gendarme de la Libertad' (2020) is a work for speaker and piano (or for just speaking pianist) and utilizes a text that I had wanted to set for many years but was not certain of the best approach until later. The text for the speaker is taken from the original Spanish words, as well as from an English translation, of the speech by Dr. Ernesto Guevara (Che) before the United Nations on 12/11/64 : 'Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of Blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the Black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men - how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?' 'Duophony' for open instrumentation (2020) is one of the few works I've composed in which there are no silences at all (except at the beginning and ending of the piece, as per my custom to start and end on empty measures, which is my own tribute to Quaker culture and practice in which meetings begin with a moment of silence)." David Toub is a unique voice in American minimalism, a genre that has produced quite a few composers over the past 80 years. Stephane Ginsburgh has performed as a soloist and chamber musician at numerous international festivals. A tireless explorer of both repertoire and new combinations integrating voice, percussion, performance, or electronics, he dedicated himself early on to contemporary music while also developing an extensive classical repertoire. He has worked closely with composers such as Frederic Rzewski, Jean-Luc Fafchamps, Stefan Prins, Joanna Bailie, Alec Hall, François Sarhan, and Matthew Shlomowitz, premiering several of their works. Stéphane Ginsburgh has recorded around fifteen albums for Sub Rosa, World Edition, Grand Piano (Naxos), and Kairos.

ABORYM	With No Human Intervention	2LP	SUBSOUND RECORDS	SSR 170LP
$51.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 Aborym's 2003 album, With No Human Intervention, marks a key moment in European industrial black metal. Compared to their debut, the band pushes the fusion of black metal and industrial electronics even further, creating a colder, more mechanical, and chaotic sound. The extreme guitars and signature black metal vocals intertwine with drum machines, abrasive synths, and digital noises, giving the impression of an almost "dehumanized" music, as the title suggests. The atmosphere is dystopian and aggressive, far removed from more traditional metal: it focuses not on melody but on a dense and oppressive sonic impact, where everything seems filtered through a technological lens. In short, it's an album that pushes the idea of black metal to the extreme, bringing it into an industrial and cyberpunk universe, becoming one of the band's most iconic works. Also available on red/black splatter color vinyl (SSR 170LTD-LP).

TON KLAMI (MASAHIKO SATOH/KANG TAE-HWAN/MIDORI TAKADA)	Ton Klami	CD	33 33	TTTT 025CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/31/2026 33-33 present Ton Klami, a rare live recording from one of East Asia's most remarkable improvising ensembles, bringing together Japanese pianist Masahiko Satoh, Korean saxophonist Kang Tae-Hwan and Japanese percussionist Midori Takada. Recorded during a memorial concert for the influential critic and producer Soejima Teruto, the album documents a unique meeting between three pioneering artists whose individual careers helped redefine the possibilities of improvised and experimental music across Japan and Korea from the late twentieth century onwards. Masahiko Satoh is one of the most influential figures in post-war Japanese jazz and experimental music. Across a career spanning more than six decades, he has continually expanded the possibilities of improvisation through work encompassing jazz, contemporary composition, electronic music and interdisciplinary collaboration. Kang Tae Hwan is a foundational figure in Korean free improvisation and one of the most distinctive saxophonists to emerge from East Asia. His radical approach to breath, tone and extended technique has influenced generations of improvisers internationally. Midori Takada is internationally celebrated for her groundbreaking work as a percussionist and composer. Her recordings and performances have profoundly shaped contemporary understandings of minimalism, rhythm and environmental sound, earning renewed global recognition in recent years. Ton Klami reflects 33-33's ongoing commitment to uncovering overlooked histories within experimental music. Through a catalogue spanning contemporary commissions, archival recordings and cross-cultural collaborations, the label seeks to create new contexts for significant work that sits beyond conventional genre boundaries. In bringing this recording back into circulation, 33-33 continues its wider exploration of artistic exchange between Japan, Korea and the international avant-garde. A rare document of spontaneous dialogue between pioneering improvisers Masahiko Satoh, Kang Tae-Hwan and Midori Takada, exploring tension, texture and space through cross-cultural experimental sound.

All living beings depend on water to thrive, as it symbolizes life, fertility, and sustenance, as well as hardship. For many people, water is viewed as a sacred gift from the Creator. Maia originally created Waters Deep as a solo harp piece to accompany a dance tribute, choreographed by Laurie Goux, for the iconic dancer Miss Katherine Dunham in Chicago in 1996. Miss Dunham was present at the debut of this piece. Over many years, Waters Deep evolved into a three-movement suite celebrating water as life's essential force.

FURY, BILLY	The Hit Parade Hero 1959-62	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1705LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Billy Fury remains one of the most important and charismatic figures in the history of British rock 'n' roll. Born Ronald Wycherley in Liverpool in 1940, he was a shy young songwriter who transformed almost overnight into a national sensation after a chance meeting with impresario Larry Parnes in 1958. Parnes, impressed by both Fury's original material and striking presence, signed him immediately, setting in motion a career that would define the sound and style of pre-Beatles British pop. Fury possessed a rare versatility: he could deliver energetic, American-influenced rock 'n' roll with conviction, yet switch effortlessly to tender, emotionally charged ballads. His voice -- smooth, yearning, and capable of surprising dramatic power -- made him one of the most distinctive singers of his generation. During the early 1960s, he became a fixture on the UK charts, achieving an extraordinary run of hits that placed him just behind Cliff Richard and The Shadows in chart appearances for the decade. His tours, which often featured young Merseybeat acts such as the Beatles in support slots, played a vital role in shaping the emerging British pop landscape. The Hit Parade Hero 1959-62 brings together the defining recordings from his most influential early years. Side A captures his breakthrough and rapid rise with tracks like 'Maybe Tomorrow,' 'Margo, Don't Go,' 'That's Love,' and the atmospheric fan favorite 'Wondrous Place,' a song that perfectly showcases his moody, intimate vocal style. The side also highlights his early experimentation with teen-pop and rockabilly influences. Side B presents the full force of Fury's hit-making period, including the majestic ballad 'Halfway to Paradise,' the dramatic 'Jealousy,' and the polished romantic pop of 'Last Night Was Made for Love' and 'Once Upon a Dream.' Together, these tracks form a definitive portrait of an artist who helped shape British popular music -- passionate, stylish, and timeless."

$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "The Whiles are a Columbus, Ohio indie-folk-rock band whose work spans four different decades. Formed in the late '90s, The Whiles have shared the stage with The National, Grizzly Bear, and My Morning Jacket, had a song in an Academy Award Nominated documentary (Murderball) and all of its members have been at the center of the world renowned (and Sir Paul McCartney endorsed) Sgt Peppercorn's Marathon, the only show of its kind in which all 220 songs of the Beatles are performed in a single 14-hour performance. In 2024, The Whiles booked time with legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Breeders) to record a new album. Unfortunately, Albini tragically passed away three months before the scheduled recording dates. The Whiles pivoted and finished two records on their own in their home studios: 'Hummingbird,' a 10-song polyrhythmic meditation on being a middle-aged parent in a post-Covid world, and Colors of the Year, a rerecording and 3D reimagining of the band's 2004 masterpiece. Both albums showcase the band's ability to incorporate Beach Boys harmonies, George Harrison-esque guitar composition, the 2000s indie aesthetics of bands like The Shins and The National and Dylan/Cohen inspired lyrical precision, and an emotional vulnerability that echoes The Smiths and Elliott Smith. The Whiles bring a uniquely earnest musical kaleidoscope of both records, records that hopefully will resonate in a fragmented world that craves beauty and truth."

CLUSTER	Zuckerzeit	CD	BUREAU B	BB 447CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Released in 1974, Zuckerzeit marks a clear turning point in Cluster's work, introducing shorter formats and a more defined rhythmic framework. The increased use of drum machines and structured sequencing sets it apart from the duo's earlier, more diffuse recordings, while maintaining a focus on texture and tone. Developed in close proximity to Michael Rother and under increasingly independent production conditions, the album establishes a more direct and accessible approach without simplifying its underlying ideas. This standard edition makes the album available again on CD and vinyl following the previous limited anniversary release. A key recording in Cluster's catalogue, capturing a pivotal moment of transition and refinement. In 1974, Cluster entered the sugar era. Many a thing had changed for band members Moebius and Roedelius since Cluster II: They had moved from boisterous Berlin to this calm rural village, they had founded the band Harmonia, had set up their own studio and had bought new equipment. As a result of this and many other things, new impulses were noticeably spurring the evolution of their music. The album Zuckerzeit ("sugar era") launched a revolution for Cluster. Strictly speaking, Zuckerzeit is not really an album by Cluster. More precisely, the LP contains two mini solo albums by Moebius and Roedelius. Those who were familiar with the stylistic peculiarities of the two musicians could easily relate the solo pieces to either one of them. As Roedelius and Moebius had not yet released any solo works by the time, it was actually not possible to draw up any comparisons yet. Zuckerzeit is light and cheerful, freed from the Germanic gravity and the mystic incense fumes that were so fashionable at the time. Cluster managed to keep both feet on the ground without becoming plain or even sterile. The friendliness of the music is clearly due to the two personalities of Roedelius and Moebius; its down-to-earth character possibly comes from Michael Rother, the album's coproducer. When comparing Zuckerzeit to the works of other electronic combos produced at the same time, it is first of all the shortness of the tracks that seems most striking. The fact that Cluster worked in such a calm and collected way, that they concentrated on their musical ideas instead of losing themselves in long-windedness -- all this taken together gave way to the creation of electronic miniatures that sounded as extraordinary in the 1970s as they still do today.

MOGARD & RAFAEL ANTON IRISARRI, ABUL	Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun (Clear Vinyl)	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 024CL-LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Clear vinyl version. In spring 2025, Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri created the source material for their second album, Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun, during a three-day residency at Morphine Raum in Berlin. Functioning as both recording studio and performance venue, the space has no stage, with the audience gathered around the performers. Working within an open framework, the duo reshaped the music each evening while recording the performances live to multitrack. Rotary speakers, modular synthesizers and bowed guitar formed the core of their sonic language, captured through a 1970s mixing console and microphones placed around the room. Back in Mogard's studio in Rome, the material was further crafted as motifs were stretched, fragments isolated, and tempos dissolved. Irisarri recorded additional guitar textures and treatments in New York, while passages recorded by Martina Bertoni and Andrea Burelli in Berlin reinforced the harmonic centers and brought breath, refinement and a new sensibility to their compositions. The process continued as Mogard's layering and subtraction reassembled everyone's parts into the final arrangement. The album opens with "In the Eastern Wild," building from a sparse outline into a monumental formation of low-frequency weight, its internal motion shaped by the rotating Leslie speaker. "Over the Domes" widens into a broader acoustic field, where sustained modular tones meet waves of softly plucked guitar. The music then turns inward with "A Blue Descent," centered on Bertoni's cello, whose growling timbre introduces a melancholic depth. At the album's center, "In a Quiet Radiance" unfolds around a slow guitar ostinato, its luminous stillness opening into a more expansive and reflective state. Across its ten-minute span, Burelli's violin lines and Bertoni's lower cello phrases gradually surface, weaving through the harmonic field. Mogard brings Burelli's processed voice to the fore, its emotive, operatic presence becoming one of the record's pivotal moments. "Of Blessed Ages" suspends the sonic flow, shifting between parallel major and minor chords as lingering, slowly decaying melodies shape the music's internal drift. The closing "Among Shadows" settles into a darker resonance as layered textures recede. Mogard and Irisarri's shared language balances restraint and maximalism.

MAR-VISTA	Visions of Sodal Ye	2LP	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 197LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Originally self-produced in 150 copies (on by Le Kiosque d'Orphée in 1977), Mar-Vista's only album is one of France's most strange and radical records.. The story of Mar-Vista begins in northern France, in Lille, in the early 1970s, with the meeting of two music enthusiasts: Claude Cuvelier and Jean Skowron. They connected through Claude's brother. At that time, Jean was already standing out at blues concerts for his singular sonic approach: he placed microphones inside suitcases that he struck to produce raw, primitive sounds -- an experimental process that immediately impressed Claude. A shared vision quickly took shape: to create repetitive, atmospheric music, freed from traditional formats. In 1973, they gave birth to Mar-Vista, with the desire to compose long, immersive works, sometimes built around a single chord, in the spirit of Balinese music. The duo gradually equipped themselves: a Mini Korg in 1972, a Yamaha synthesizer, a Farfisa organ, and even a drum machine discovered by chance during a television appearance by Henri Salvador. The home studio became their creative sanctuary. Jean worked on a 4-track Teac tape recorder, Claude on a Philips model. Each freely composed their own side of the future album, while collaborating on each other's ideas. Side A, led by Jean, is more rooted in the progressive electronic music of the time, influenced by Heldon, Amon Düül, and Soft Machine. Side B, bearing more of Claude's imprint and his influences (Terry Riley, La Monte Young), is far more experimental and consists of a 22-minute trippy instrumental piece. Despite its confidential release at the time, the album is now considered one of the most remarkable works of the genre ever released in France. A second album project inspired by the universe of H. P. Lovecraft was in progress, but family responsibilities slowed this creative momentum. The second vinyl of this reissue is composed of unreleased tracks, featuring improvised pieces without synthesizers, recorded live in August 1973 on a hill near Valence, in the garden of friends (Hervé and Martine). Psychedelic electronic music, experimental, and acid folk -- a collector's grail for fans of Klaus Schulze, Terry Riley, Neu, Heldon, and Silver Apples. Includes a previously unreleased second record from 1973.

JOHNSON, ANTHONY	Reggae Feelings	LP	BURNING SOUNDS	BSR 871PT-LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Classic early '80s dancehall from one of the genre's most distinctive voices. Reggae Feelings captures Anthony Johnson at his peak, backed by the legendary Roots Radics Band and produced by Jah Thomas at Channel One and mixed at King Tubby's. Originally released in the early 1980s, this album stands at the crossroads of roots reggae and emerging dancehall, pairing heavyweight rhythms with Johnson's melodic, street wise vocal style. The Roots Radics' stripped down, driving grooves -- overseen by rhythm architects Errol 'Flabba' Holt and Lincoln 'Style' Scott -- provide the perfect foundation for timeless cuts such as 'Fussing & Fighting,' 'Reggae Feelings,' and 'Dread Locks.' A key sound system album that helped define the mid period dancehall sound, Reggae Feelings remains as powerful today as it was on release -- rough, raw and deeply authentic Jamaican music. This edition is pressed on 180gram heavyweight vinyl and features extensive sleeve notes, making it essential for reggae collectors, sound system devotees and fans of classic Channel One productions."

$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Exiled is a remarkable 1980 space themed concept album crafted by songwriters Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe, blending melodic rock, progressive textures, and a richly cinematic sci-fi narrative.

Originally released in 1980, Exiled stands today as an overlooked gem of British progressive rock: a meticulously produced studio project that combines strong songwriting with a stellar supporting cast drawn from some of the UK's most respected musicians of the era."

$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 A major figure in Cameroonian makossa, Ngallé Jojo returns with Élo-Lodie/Caresse d'Amour, his first recording in over 30 years. A singer, songwriter, and producer born in Douala, he rose to fame in the late 1970s with tracks that have become classics, before settling in France and dedicating himself to his faith, like Al Green or Solomon Burke. Now rediscovered by collectors and new audiences alike, he makes a comeback that retains all the hallmarks of his style: a driving rhythm, layers of synthesizers, rich melodies, and his signature catchphrase: CHAUD (Hot). A must- see.

ULTRA LIGHTS	Pleasure's All Yours	LP	CHUNKLET INDUSTRIES	CHKLP 047LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Fortune favors the brave. And lordy, nobody has been more rewarded than I have by stumbling into the brilliantly crafted world of Ultra Lights. It started innocently enough when I witnessed their second show, appearing on a stacked bill that included locals Bizner and Arbor Labor Union and the Dutch phenom band Lewsberg. After their opening set, I went up to guitarist/vocalist John Robinson and asked if their closing song was a cover, because it sounded so dang familiar. An earworm for the ages, if you will. Yeah, it was that annoyingly catchy. Maybe was it a Fang song? That Sunday night signaled the beginning of my torrid love affair with Ultra Lights? Enter Pleasure's All Yours. A record that, by any reasonable metric, is a stone-cold masterpiece? Pleasure's All Yours is a record that came out of the forge perfectly cast. A prestige effort. This record is honest t'god special. Become properly acquainted with Pleasure's All Yours. Listen to it. Study it. And let me just get this out of the way: John Robinson is a songwriting genius with derisively brilliant nihilistic lyrics. He's a mindful postgrad of years upon years of studying the masters, from Australia's supreme trash rock to American buzz guitar pop and back again. Pleasure's All Yours is eleven songs of unrelenting perfection. Such laconically brilliant songcraft that you're gonna wonder, just like I did, if that last song's a cover. Let me tell ya somethin', cupcake, it's all original. Lyrical headscratchers abound? Pleasure's All Yours is an unstoppable pop juggernaut. John's wife, Leela, is on second guitar and backup vox. The rough-and-tumble rhythm section of Gus and Alex have stripped away the bullshit, leaving nothing but a sinewy platform for John's inarguably flawless jams. Listen to the album once and you'll agree. Recorded masterfully by Khris Sampson and mastered beautifully by Mikey Young. Pleasure's all yours, indeed. As with all things at Chunklet, the buck stops with me. Theoretically, if Pleasure's All Yours were the final release for the label, would I be proud? Not only am I proud, but I'd hazard to say it could be the best record the label has ever released. But hey, tell your friends. Mark your calendars. Heed my words. Pleasure's All Yours is the feel-good hit of not just this summer but every summer until the end of time. Blast it." -Chunklet Industries

MAZZARELLA, NICK	Siena Sessions	CD	CORBETT VS. DEMPSEY	CVSD 129CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Corbett vs. Dempsey celebrates its first release featuring Nick Mazzarella. One of the critical figures in Chicago's creative music scene, alto saxophonist Nick Mazzarella has been a mainstay for over 25 years as a leader, composer, and player. This gorgeous recording was made at Shape Shoppe Paradiso, the Italian studio of former Chicagoan Griffin Rodriguez. Mazzarella was introduced to bassist Silvia Bolognesi by cellist Tomeka Reid, and he began informally playing with Silvia and drummer Christiano Calcangile in 2016. Seven years later, Bolognesi invited Mazzarella to play with her quartet at the Hyde Park Jazz Festival and to tour a bit with them; she then invited him to Italy, where they performed and recorded, and in 2025 they convened again, this time allowing time for a trio session focused on Mazzarella's original music, all of it previously unrecorded or written specifically for the occasion. Mazzarella, Bolognesi, and Calcagnile added trumpeter Emanuele Marsico for quartets on two pieces. Covering a breadth of stylistic terrain, from three open improvisations to piquant balladry and freebop heat, Siena Sessions presents Mazzarella's uncompromising vision with grace and precision. Molto bene, Mazzarella!

SEVERED HEADS	Cuisine (With Piscatorial)	2LP	DARK ENTRIES	DE 350LP
$36.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Severed Heads reattach themselves to Dark Entries for an expanded reissue of their 1991 opus Cuisine (With Piscatorial). As originary Aussie industrial legends -- although founder Tom Ellard would balk at being branded as such -- Severed Heads shaped the continental subcultural sound with their kitchen electronics, chaotic tape loops, and infectious nursery-rhyme-esque melodies. Cuisine (With Piscatorial) was the long-running project's ninth album, and is a commentary on the state of music. Ellard explains: 'The whole food joke is really about what music's about and how disposable it is; people have records like they have cups of coffee.' The album also presents a turn away from the dancefloor formalism of the era, which Ellard dismissed as already sufficiently explored. Cuisine brings listeners punchy pop kernels of the prime Heads variety, all clocking in around three minutes. Cuts like 'Pilot in Hell' and 'Ugly Twenties' rank among the band's best through their deadly skewering of synth pop tropes. But the album also offers a Piscatorial section, where Ellard felt free to 'go fishing for ideas.' Here listeners get a taste of the project's demented cut-up sensibilities, like on the 'Quest for Oom Pa Pa' suite, where vintage jazz records are collaged into an angular nightmare. This double-LP reissue is the first time that Cuisine (With Piscatorial) appears on vinyl, with a previously unreleased early version of 'Seven of Oceans.' Also included is a six-page booklet with liner notes, lyrics, and press clippings."

Robotman, a moniker of Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman), represents an essential chapter in the evolution of house and techno. On this release, the original Plastikman Acid House Mix stands as a true highlight. On the flipside, Detroit's DJ Minx brings a fresh perspective with a groove-heavy house interpretation.

$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A long overdue return to the Chopper label, after some singles from way back in 2010. This 12 song LP corrals all our favorites from the label. The album features a mix of early '80s style live rhythms laid at Channel 1 and some great classical late '80s digital style. Lionel Barrett was the original and perhaps the core artist of the Chopper stable, and is featured heavily here. A few of his tracks as well as a couple others here are now issued on vinyl for the first time. The remaining are retrieved from long out of press albums and singles. The jacket features a survey of all of Chopper's excellent graphic design. All told this LP is a great overview of a prolific JA-NYC connected label from dancehall's best era."

Like some other Parish releases this is right in the early digi sweet spot, with a great uptempo rhythm and sing-jay story telling lyrics. This is a long-time personal favorite of its era, and better still is that this issue is in pristine quality from master tapes, and unlike the original press, features the correct dub version. The original unfortunately had a pressing error where the wrong version side was used, and the correct version was mis-pressed on the flip of another unrelated tune (shout out to all the soldiers who hunted down the version side over the years!)."

COLE/ANN MARIE, KEITH	Honey Bee Fantasy/Together Again	12"	DIGIKILLER	DKR 333EP
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A best of both worlds reissue of the two most sought-after tracks on Keith Cole's Lovebird imprint. Keith cut some sides for producers in Jamaica in the early '70s before coming to New York and starting his own Lovebird label, mostly self-producing thru the first half of the '80s. The A-side here 'Honey Bee Fantasy' is a killer slow burner of mid '80s boogie/funk, featuring a couple of well-known American jazz/funk session players on the rhythm track. The picture sleeve is a near replica of the one that came with the original press. For the B-side comes Keith's production of Canadian singer Ann Marie, who also does backing vocals on 'Honey Bee Fantasy.' On 'Together Again' she's singing on a well known and loved moody early '80s rhythm, laid by the first incarnation of the Roots Radics which featured Blacka & Bingy Bunny of the Morwells."

CLARKE, GUSSIE	Dubplate Style Raw Cuts	12"	DIGIKILLER	DKR 339EP
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "A little something out of the ordinary for DKR here, a four track dub 12" featuring one old and three new mixes, the latter done in excellent faithful fashion to the sound and Music Works dubplate style of their time. Junior Moore's 'Atlantis' is one of our favorite Gussie tunes, very underrated and under the radar. For the other three tracks, these are new mixes done from the original multi track tapes, in faithful style to the way they would have come on dubplate for sound systems, right out of Gussie's original Music Works studio on Slipe Road. If you like the spare, raw drum and bass style of the Taxi label, or the early '80s sound of Channel 1, these mixes will be right up your alley. These two early Hopeton Lindo roots tracks should be familiar to hardcore roots heads. The Pam Hall is another sleeper cut, a dark lovers take on the Stylistics' soul classic, which gets harder and moodier when stripped back like this -- indeed some raw rhythm cuts of this one were played by sounds like Jah Shaka."

Howard 'Sir Tommy' Mapp is one of the original guards of New York sound men, playing sound system since 1974. Around a decade after that, he began producing for his newly formed label of the same name. Later in the 1990's he established his own studio, which became a hub of New York's dancehall scene. In true independent fashion, Tommy covered nearly every aspect of the reggae business himself, marking him firmly as a peer in the NYC scene with others who blazed a similar path, like Wackie's, Jah Life, and Philip Smart. This is the first reissue of the early gems in Tommy's catalog and makes some more classic New York reggae accessible again. So what better to start with than a new compilation, 100% heaters, culled from long unavailable singles and albums. This LP is packed with prime cuts of just such music. Absolutely essential stuff for 1980's reggae heads."

NORIKO, TUJIKO	Pon	2LP	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 322LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Pon is Tujiko Noriko's sixth album for Editions Mego and a further extension of her already significant body of work as both a solo and collaborative artist. Dedicated to her cat who she adopted as an infant and passed away due an accident having been born deaf, Pon is imbued with abstraction, tenderness and a deep emotional resonance. Noriko's palette of electronics, romantic melodies and surprising sonic details are all fully present here, and like her last full length, 2023's Crépuscule this is an epic work, released as a 2LP by Editions Mego. The unmistakable hue of Japan hovers throughout this emotional rich landscape. Subtle field recordings and fragile, abstract motifs drift through the album, all cloaked in a warmth and humanity that only Noriko seems able to conjure. Pon moves effortlessly between the childlike and the obscure. There are moments of deceptive simplicity where unexpected elements suddenly surface -- strange voices emerge on "Boku Wa Obaka." "Knife of Yonder" is a standout: a startling ten-minute unfolding that begins with a warm, almost Eno-esque drift before launching into a soaring mid-section and finally landing somewhere unexpectedly blues-adjacent. "Kikoeru Pon" is brimming with childlike wonder -- a heartfelt ballad that dissolves into domestic field recordings, including sounds of the feline for whom both the album and track are named. A quietly devastating ending that brings the personal nature of the record into sharp focus. There is a deep sense of the human in the way Noriko embraces technology. This is far from cold abstraction; rather, Pon feels like a colorful photo album, documenting Noriko's inner world and instincts with remarkable intimacy. Hovering in liminal states between pop, ambient and abstraction, this is a deeply affective and moving release that reveals new surprises with each listen. The emotional range of Noriko's latest offering inspires hope in a world in disarray. It is both gentle and epic and one which we feel embodies the work of an artist fully at the height of her powers.

$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Dam Swindle nail 2026 as the year of house music's glorious return with their new Call Me EP. 2026 is the year of house music. Festivals, clubs, bars and living rooms have been craving for more warmth and soul in electronic music and you know we're here for it. It's only been a few months since we celebrated the 100th release on Heist's House of House compilation (HEIST 100LP); a 19-track embodiment of everything the label loves about house music where label heads Dam Swindle teamed up with Detroit legend DJ Minx on their track "Back To The Old School". Now, the Amsterdam duo deliver a new EP filled with dancefloor energy across five original cuts and vocals courtesy of British-Bengali rapper Surya Sen. The title track "Call Me" is a stabby and string-heavy peak time jam, where chopped female vocals and offbeat cowbells deliver a simply irresistible groove. "5 to 9" features the vocals of London rapper Surya Sen whose deep voice add an instant vibe to Dam Swindle's deep and Detroit'esque production. This track sits somewhere between gritty dark rooms and sweaty dancefloors. Definitely not the stuff for your 9 to 5, but with plenty of funk for your after-work pleasures. The track comes in two versions; the vocal mix and a longer club-dub with some cleverly chopped vocals that comes in handy for the DJ sets. The B1 is saved for "I Like It". A track full of old school Swindle swing, Rhodes chords, a dash of electronics and soulful vocals chops for good measure. The EP closer is "A House Track"; a song dedicated to the old school New York house sound and an affirmation that great house music doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs to groove. This one has been road-tested all year and is now ready for your listening and playing pleasure.

HONIG, EZEKIEL	Surfaces Of A Broken Marching Band	LP	KEPLAR	KEPLARREV 024LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Originally released in 2008 on Ezekiel Honig's own Anticipate Recordings, Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band finds the artist refining a compositional language rooted in the methodologies of musique concrete, ambient, and beat research. Working from a palette of environmental recordings, instrumental fragments, and soft electronic treatments, Honig pushes the source material into an array of sympathetic forms ranging from pillow-soft, lowercase ambient to diffuse downtempo and minimal house. For its reissue on Keplar, the album has been remastered by Kassian Troyer (D&M), bringing a new clarity to its intricate, low-lit architectures. Throughout the record, serving almost as audiographic guideposts, are faint but insistent gestures toward propulsion, an abiding and recurrent 4/4 pulse that guides the music laterally and instantiates a slow negotiation between its various elements. This music invites close listening precisely by not revealing itself all at once, allowing small collisions of timbre and subtle shifts in emphasis to carry the weight. The traces of lived environments that remain embedded in the mix -- distant crowds, sounds of transit, the indistinct acoustics of interiors in flux -- expand the frame without breaking its intimacy, creating a potent dislocation between the nearness of the sound and the scale of its sources. Rather than foregrounding any single voice, this is music that distributes attention equally across its materials, allowing background details to assert their presence as much as melody or rhythm. Honig presents listeners with an astute practice that's concerned less with building from the ground up than with uncovering what happens when disparate textures and structures are brought into close contact with one another.

YELKA	Jeans	LP	KARAOKE KALK	KK 144LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "When I first heard Yelka play I thought to myself: 'I'd like to play in that band.' In the meantime I have realized that it would not be as easy as I imagined. The fluffy easy sound that gets created is so particular that it would not be so easy to execute those exact sounds of the band. This is mostly due to the unconventional harmonies of the guitar. Daniel himself said he is content with the guitar and added an extra one on almost all of the songs. Which I, as a fan of Daniels anarchic approach to playing, love. Also Yelka's groovy smooth bass playing is in the forefront of the album once again. Her sound bounces through the guitar riffs as if it's the most common thing on earth. Once Yelka adds her vocals to the songs, that's when they almost become pop and reminiscent of Velvet Underground. Christian's drums hold these two together through the track list, with a fun Krautrock and jazz influenced style. Everything was recorded live and it sounds fantastic! The sixth track of the Yelka album Jeans is a highlight with the piano support from Federico Corazzini, who adds lush open jazz chords to the incredible intricate harmonies of the band. Arne Bergner (Studio Popschutz) who is once more responsible for the production of the album, also added a beautiful choir arrangement. The finishing touches completing Yelka´s wonderful sound as always added by Norman Nitzsches mastering (Mokik Studio). From top to bottom an amazing album: 'King of the World' (Steely Dan cover), a pop song with a fantastic keyboard solo from `the one and only Dan Ra´ alias Daniel Nentwig (The Whitest Boy Alive), 'Moon for Now,' an atmospheric jazz-ish tune, to 'Walking Whispering,' a strong nine-minute guitar heavy number. I think there are more than two guitars in this one. American indie rock/pop/jazz whatever -- school (after all, it's the third album in the band's America trilogy) and yet above all Berlin, in its most likeable and perhaps even coolest form." --Masha Qrella

$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Welcome to the roots reggae sound. A period in reggae's history that followed the two year supremacy of rocksteady, that began to tail off around the end of 1968. The reggae sound many say did not come initially from the chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the keyboard/organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some roots reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica. Featuring Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Cornell Campbell, Leroy Smart, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, and Delroy Wilson.

LEW, HANNAH	Hannah Lew (Lemon Color Vinyl)	LP	NIGHT SCHOOL	LSSN 104Y-LP
$30.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Hannah Lew's debut, self-titled solo record is soaked in imperious, wide-eyed pop songwriting and a girl-group/post punk aesthetic that belies the artist's history in the U.S. underground. A towering, hook-laden album, it's infused with an optimism and surrealism that conversely deals with the times audiences find themselves in. Recorded at home in Richmond, CA and in The Best House studio with Maryam Qudus in Oakland CA, with the assistance of a crack team of West Coast musicians, this album sees Hannah Lew stepping out from behind the legacy of her two groups Grass Widow and Cold Beat. While musically bearing similarities with her previous work, Hannah Lew is a bold leap into direct pop territory, making ample use of a vocal style that teases out the inherent melancholy in her melodies. Mastered by Sarah Register, each song is a perfectly honed nugget that frequently pulls the heart in two directions at once. Themes of change, breaking up, shattering old ways of being are shot through the record. For the front cover, a photograph of the artist's face was printed, ripped up and re-assembled, resembling the creative process embarked upon by Lew for her first 'solo' material. The album feels instinctual, almost dream-like in its assemblage of sweeping synths and pulsating, propulsive drum machine beat patterns with Lew's vocal performances sensitive and caressing over the top. Increasingly relying on the subconscious and dreams to guide her creative process, Hannah Lew frequently abandons literal interpretations or linear narratives, the songs seeming to exist in a swooning, effortless flow-state while remaining emotionally hard hitting. In a departure from previous groups, her solo songs are guided by dreams and free association inspired by Dada and the Surrealist movement and sculpted afterwards. As such, the songs reveal themselves on repeated listens, revealing traces of heartbreak inspired by both personal and global elements -- Lew regards the album as 'a wartime album.'"

PROPHETIC JUSTICE MINISTRY	Key To World Peace	LP	NIGHT SCHOOL	LSSN 108LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Key To World Peace is the third release by Prophetic Justice Ministry -- aka Australian musician Sam Perry. An atmospheric, cinematic album that belies a striking pop songwriting nous at its core, its conductor Prophetic Justice Ministry is at the center of a new wave of creative, rule-bending Melbourne artists. Romantic, smudged and hazy, Perry emerges from behind a wall of half-light with a clutch of earworms and affecting emotions. Recorded in home studios in Belgrade (Serbia), Christchurch (New Zealand) and Melbourne (Australia) over the course of three years, Key To World Peace offers a dichotomy in approach. Shifting on a dime between ambient, filmic washes of sound and more traditional song structures, the approach feels natural, casually acid-tipped and emotionally revealing. While Perry's distinctive keys and production melding with melody is evidenced in Melbourne group Who Cares?, as Prophetic Justice Ministry there's a heightened sense of mystery and space being used. Swirling in a psychedelic fog with dry iced chords falling down like melting stars, the album pulses with an ominous, distorted intro that sculpts air into blocks of sound before Psyop offers a glimpse through the gloom at the artist navigating through crushed, shoe-gazing chords, singing a consolation into an abandoned building. Key To World Peace flits between displaying a spectrum of blurred emotional resonance in its instrumental passages and vulnerability in the shape of raw, melodic songwriting. With his first release outside of Australia and vinyl debut, Sam Perry's Prophetic Justice Ministry is a beguiling dance in and out shadows."

ACHER, MICHA	Henry And The Ghosts Songbook	2LP	ALIEN TRANSISTOR	N 104LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 On his new album, Micha Acher rearranged compositions for bands such as Tied & Tickled Trio and Ms. John Soda from previous years. None of the 15 pieces from Henry and the Ghost is really scary. On the contrary, they all feel strangely familiar. Like revenants or doppelgängers, which in fact they are. They have all been released before. But in a different form. In different line-ups. With different band projects such as Tied & Tickled Trio, The Notwist or the Alien Ensemble. With the Songbook, Micha Acher's aim was, as he says, to find out how the familiar pieces sound in a chamber music instrumentation. Therefore he met with Theresa Loibl (bass clarinet, piano), Timm Kornelius (bassoon), Markus Rom (guitar, banjo, electronics) and Simon Popp (drums, percussion) in his living room for a musical séance in the summer of 2022. The séance lasted two days. Afterwards, Markus Rom added some haunting electronical ideas. The mood of most of the pieces is melancholic. There are surprising twists and siren-like melodies. Just as ghost stories should be. However, most of the songs sound very light-footed. With their feet in pop, folk, jazz and classical music. The concluding "Nordlead" turns out to be a revenant of the instrumental "N.L." from The Notwist's legendary album Shrink from 1998. In the new version, the piece sounds like a distant echo. One that also brings to mind how Micha Acher's music has evolved. Which new worlds he explored and opened up since the nineties. And yet Acher's signature is recognizable in every single note of this fascinating Songbook.

PUME ORENGE	Angel By Milo	LP	ODDA RECORDINGS	ODA 007LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Bristol duo Pume Orenge unspool a world of spectral electronica from cassette loops and instrumental improvisation on their debut album Angel By Milo for Odda Recordings. It is a world that opens draped in ferric hiss. A fog of sound, dense and yet not quite there, catching the light in strange shades and ambient drifts. Looping and receding, looping and receding, as pucks of static burst like faraway fireworks on a cold winter's night. Sound sources obscured, ambiguous, not quite what they seem. Angel By Milo takes its lead from the analogue process and textures by which it was made. Percussive and melodic loops were established, manipulated and responded to with instrumental improvisation, in a give-and-take with the materiality of the medium. Across these seven intricately developed tracks, the sound fluctuates between the cinematic and the introspective, at times melancholy, at others verging on a kind of restrained anger, before the calm sets in once more. It is music for the small hours, awash with the grainy stuff of memory. Embedded within Bristol's independent scene, Pume Orenge's quiet debut also speaks to the duo's shared roots in the area, and like many of Odda's previous releases, contains a sensitivity to place and atmosphere, even when these are no more than implied. Angel By Milo builds on the DIY ethos of Pume Orenge's 2023 self-titled debut EP, whose tracks were recorded live in single takes, now honing a more intentional, purposeful approach to music making. It is one in which layers of meaning are allowed to reveal themselves, a way of composing that makes a virtue of its labor and the chance occurrences that can arise in the process. This is music in praise of shadows.

ANDREWS & MATT DAVIES, CHURCH	Tilt	LP	ODDA RECORDINGS	ODA 008LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Church Andrews and Matt Davies return with Tilt, a pinpoint collection of skewed microtonal and discordant compositions for percussion and digital synth. Tones ascend but don't resolve, rhythms loop, collapse and reassemble, patterns wriggle with geometric precision, sounds tilt, the edges fray. Kinetic, elastic, wonky without being obtuse, Church Andrews (aka Kirk Barley) and Matt Davies new LP Tilt is the culmination of six years of creative collaboration, refining and redrawing the relationship between Davies' virtuoso percussive practice and Barley's off-kilter synthesis. Where their 2024 release, Yucca, took rhythmic cues from the Fibonacci sequence, Tilt explores a more intuitive approach, returning the duo to a minimal sound interrogating the interplay of chance and control, system and body, freedom and mechanization. Featuring prepared guitar, finely resonant muted percussion and a crisp palette of digital synths, it draws on the pair's long-standing interest in alternate time signatures. Here, a tripped-up 11/8 beat gives "Yokai" a disorientating quality, threading unusual paths through the playful, mysterious 5-note Hirajoshi scale -- a pentatonic scale from Japan hinted at in the track's playful reference to a supernatural spirit in the country's folklore. Using a simple on-off system between drum and synth to trigger a Shepard tone -- an auditory illusion of a sound that ascends or descends in pitch without actually changing -- "Shepherd" revels in the stripped-back simplicity of its sonic palette, where the nuance lies in what Barley calls "subtleties in the timbre of the sounds" as they dialogue with Davies' warped loops. It's these finely tuned melodic drum tones and an eerily abstracted prepared guitar that give "Debris" its uncanny feel, yet never feeling overly controlled. Like the album's meticulous, graphic artwork, Tilt seeks the shifting ground between the physical and the digital, as acoustic tones are tweaked and disambiguated into new and unexpected forms. Tilt represents Church Andrews and Matt Davies' ongoing collaboration in its purest form -- a hyper-defined evocation of gravitational potential in their live sound.

$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Songs Before Bed (2022) marks Otto Benson's first physical release under his own name, following earlier work under aliases including Memo Boy, OTTO, and Pudding Club. Originally published as a digital-only release through Otto's own WNOADIARWB website and platform on New Year's Eve 2022, SBB bridges the gap between the more experimental psychedelic electronic works of OTTO and his most recent release, the acclaimed Peanut, released on NYE 2025. (As is his tradition, Otto self-releases a new album every New Year's Eve as a gift for his listeners.) Blending brief pop fragments with melodic bedroom guitar, droning ambient shoegaze textures, and blissful IDM jaunts reminiscent of the Rephlex catalog, the album offers a seamless overview of Otto Benson's genre-defying sound. Originally conceived as a late-night record, Songs Before Bed (2022) is a rewarding listen at any hour. Remastered for vinyl by Stephan Mathieu and pressed on Sonopress EcoRecord, an environmentally conscious alternative to PVC, special care was taken by Palto Flats and Otto Benson to make a sustainable product without sacrificing any sound quality."

MOLLESTAD WEEJUNS, HEDVIG	Bitches Blues	CD	RUNE GRAMMOFON	RCD 2238CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 "Weejuns is all about interplay," explains Mollestad, a former Young Jazz Talent of the Year and Artist in Residence in her native Norway. "Bitches Blues consists of six instrumental tracks, or stretches of music, with an extreme range of dynamics. Some are based around hefty beats, while other tracks are far more lyrical and rubato. It ranges from riff-based rock-ish stuff, to loud chaos, to melancholy ballads and even totally free improvisations." Taking a cultured yet refreshingly instinctive approach to intertwining instruments and influences, Bitches Blues (a wry play on Miles Davis album Bitches Brew) veers unpredictably from slow and soft, distinctly sectioned songs with disciplined chord progressions to explosive eruptions of cathartic and complex structures. Weejuns (a slang abbreviation of "Norwegians") introduced themselves in 2023 with a self-titled double live album. Originally assembled by Mollestad for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, where she'd been awarded the prestigious Musicians Prize, Weejuns' collective chemistry has proven enduring and alluring, in part as a foil to the Hedvig Mollestad Trio's heaviest album to date, 2025's Bees in the Bonnet. A graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music, Mollestad has released eight acclaimed albums with her eponymous Trio, toured across Europe and North America, and performed with the likes of Nels Cline, Colin Stetson, Ingrid Laubrock, Trevor Dunn, and Shahzad Ismaily. The signature of her 15-year career has been fusing serious chops with an overt focus on finding fun in sound. For years, Mollestad obsessed over music and little else. The daughter of a jazz musician, she lost herself in his record collection, studying classic works by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall before discovering riff-raging titans like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Mahavishnu Orchestra in her 20s. This led to the formation of Hedvig Mollestad Trio, whose relentless recording and touring schedule since the early '10s have earned the guitarist a stream of accolades, including two Norwegian Grammys (Spellemannprisen) and DownBeat magazine naming her one of the 25 artists who "could shape jazz for decades" in November of 2020. Ståle Storløkken is a founder and long serving member of Supersilent and Elephant9, has served as Terje Rypdal's "right hand" since the mid-90s, and collaborated with Motorpsycho on record and on stage... as well as countless others. Ole Mofjell is the youngest member, active with Krokofant, Signe Emmeluth's Amoeba and his own free jazz trio 3 Days Of Maceration. Hedvig Mollestad Thomassen - guitar; Ståle Storløkken - organ and synth; Ole Mofjell - drums.

A graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music, Mollestad has released eight acclaimed albums with her eponymous Trio, toured across Europe and North America, and performed with the likes of Nels Cline, Colin Stetson, Ingrid Laubrock, Trevor Dunn, and Shahzad Ismaily. The signature of her 15-year career has been fusing serious chops with an overt focus on finding fun in sound. For years, Mollestad obsessed over music and little else. The daughter of a jazz musician, she lost herself in his record collection, studying classic works by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall before discovering riff-raging titans like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Mahavishnu Orchestra in her 20s. This led to the formation of Hedvig Mollestad Trio, whose relentless recording and touring schedule since the early '10s have earned the guitarist a stream of accolades, including two Norwegian Grammys (Spellemannprisen) and DownBeat magazine naming her one of the 25 artists who "could shape jazz for decades" in November of 2020. Ståle Storløkken is a founder and long serving member of Supersilent and Elephant9, has served as Terje Rypdal's "right hand" since the mid-90s, and collaborated with Motorpsycho on record and on stage... as well as countless others. Ole Mofjell is the youngest member, active with Krokofant, Signe Emmeluth's Amoeba and his own free jazz trio 3 Days Of Maceration. Hedvig Mollestad Thomassen - guitar; Ståle Storløkken - organ and synth; Ole Mofjell - drums.

PASCAUD, MATTHIS	Loup(s)	LP	SHAKE PRODUCTION	SHAKE 002LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 LP version. The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo). Four lone wolves, fluent in swamp blues and psychedelic incantations. After Night Trippin' and Good Grief, Matthis sets off into uncharted territory, tracing the footsteps of Pink Floyd while echoing the shimmering grooves of Khruangbin, Blake Mills, and Pino Palladino. The result, Loup(s), recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, is a record where atmosphere reigns supreme. Tempos stretch and breathe, basslines rumble, and saxophones murmur through a Leslie cabinet. Landscapes emerge, sculpted by rolling toms and the feline cry of a 1967 Gretsch Astrojet. Later, singer Célia Kameni and pianist Gaël Rakotondrabe lend their own mysterious enchantments. Together, Pascaud and his band of explorers chase textures as others might chase gold, dreaming aloud of a music made of a panoramic vision stretching from the plains of Gran Sasso to the far edges of the American West, in search of forgotten legends.

DRUMM, KEVIN	The Mild Temper	6CD BOX	SONORIS	SNS 028CD
$51.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 For more than thirty years, Kevin Drumm has developed a unique sonic language situated at the intersection of drone, electronics, improvisation and sound abstraction. Continuously evolving, his work has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music. Comprising more than six hours of music, The Mild Temper presents an extensive collection of pieces built from gradual transformations, micro-acoustic events and frequency-based structures characteristic of Drumm's practice. Across six discs, the music explores varying states of density, resonance and spatiality, reflecting a sustained interest in the physical properties of sound and their perception over extended durations. The title, The Mild Temper, suggests a quiet force rather than an overt gesture. Sonic materials often appear restrained, held in a delicate balance between stasis and motion. Small shifts gradually alter the acoustic landscape as layers of frequencies emerge, recede and recombine throughout the listening experience. Avoiding narrative and dramatic development, these works offer immersion in highly detailed sonic environments where every element contributes to the construction of a deeply absorbing listening space. Attention to texture, depth and duration forms the connective thread throughout the collection. With The Mild Temper, Kevin Drumm continues his exploration of sound as an autonomous phenomenon, presenting a body of work of remarkable coherence that reflects both the singularity and maturity of his artistic practice. Mastering by Jim O'Rourke.

SUZUKI, AYAMI	Remnants	Cassette	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 142CS
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Remnants is an album marked by the ambiguity of presence and absence. The pieces, recorded using minimal equipment in what Ayami Suzuki describes as a ritual-like atmosphere, began as a way of processing the loss of her father in 2019. But beyond this, they also come to speak to the ways in which loss changes peoples' relationship with someone, and their experiences of the world. Indeed, the experience of loss is not marked merely by a single event, but is instead a process that unfolds over time. Despite the other's absence, a particular location, the smell of a certain brand of tobacco, a look on a friend's face -- traces such as these are enough to bring about a renewed presence. It is through these subtle traces and remnants, encountered over time, that listeners come to understand loss as not only the acceptance of absence, but the recognition of a continued presence. As Suzuki says, "this is not a solo album." Its creation was instead shaped by an ongoing dialogue, the continued elaboration of a complex and ambivalent relationship. At once melancholic, warm, and embracing, it is this ambiguity, these subtle traces, that Suzuki's compositions speak to. These are not merely the sounds of mourning, but instead have been shaped by the evolving dialectic of presence and absence into something far more subtle and haunting.

MASON, JOSH	Wave Salt +7	Cassette	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 144CS
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Josh Mason's new collection, Wave Salt +7, emerges from an oblique origin. Unearthed from a dormant hard drive, it documents a set of work sessions only partially recoverable, their original continuity and intent fractured by time and technical failure. What remains is a constellation of mercurial gestures that proves, against all odds, to be entirely consonant with Mason's ongoing musical concerns. In a sense, the very condition of partiality proves generative, with elision operating on multiple levels -- structural, sonic, and archival -- shaping both the music itself and the circumstances of its (re)appearance. Phrases surface only to be truncated or displaced, hovering at the edge of resolution, and transitions are implied rather than fully enacted. Absence functions not as a deficit, but as an important compositional resource. Central to the album's sound is a distinctive use of vocoding. Deployed not to simulate vocal presence but as a tool for tonal sculpting, it yields a shifting lattice of smeared harmonics, angular melody, and attenuated noise. Sounds are pressed through one another, their edges softened, shifted, or selectively erased, producing surfaces simultaneously articulated and porous. Rather than reconstructing a lost whole, the album posits a mode of listening attuned to gaps, interruptions, and unstable forms. Even so, in keeping with Mason's broader practice, this music remains grounded in melodic logic and a distinctly human scale, ensuring that its fragmentary structures register not solely as experiments, but as expressions of proximity and feeling.

HALL, ANNIE	Future Sports	12"	SYNAPTIC CLIFFS	SYNAPTIC 027EP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Synaptic Cliffs welcomes Annie Hall for her label debut. With the Future Sports EP, she once again expands the boundaries between machine funk, speculative sound design, and forward-thinking club music. Delivering her signature fusion of IDM, electro, fractured breakbeats and experimental electronics, she sculpts a metallic, high-definition vision that feels as though it has been transmitted directly from centuries ahead. Future Sports imagines the sonic landscape of sport in the year 3024. In a future where society has paradoxically stripped itself back to the essentials, aesthetics has returned to the elegance and restraint of the 18th and 19th centuries. Amid this cultural shift, fencing has emerged as the defining global sport, elevated from historical discipline to mass obsession. Throughout the EP, the sounds of these future arenas become musical raw material: the sharp clash of advanced foils, the resonant impact of engineered protective gear, the tension of ritualized competition, and fragments of other, unnamed sports from a distant age. Annie Hall transforms these imagined athletic acoustics into intricate rhythmic structures and futuristic melodies, allowing the machinery and choreography of competition to shape the record's sonic identity. The result is a vivid soundtrack to a world yet to come -- precise, kinetic, and unmistakably futuristic, where sport, technology and sound merge into a singular vision. Future Sports is both a speculative narrative and a club-ready statement from one of electronic music's most distinctive voices. As a special bonus, the EP features an animated picture label. When played at 45 RPM and viewed under a stroboscopic light operating at 9 Hz, the artwork comes alive, revealing a hidden motion sequence. Blurring the boundaries between sound, design and optical illusion, this kinetic visual layer extends the EP's futuristic narrative into the physical realm, transforming the record itself into an artifact from the year 3024.

PDQB	Zeta-Kognition	12"	SYNAPTIC CLIFFS	SYNAPTIC 030EP
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Zeta-Kognition is a rarely documented perceptual phenomenon in which thoughts are no longer experienced in the order in which they are formed. The first reports appeared shortly after the promo release of this EP. Listeners described a strange effect while listening to pdqb's signature electro tracks: while the music was playing, memories, expectations, and present perceptions seemed to exchange places. Some felt they had already completed a thought before it had even occurred to them. Others reported that half an hour vanished in what felt like seconds, while a few minutes seemed to contain an unusual depth and density of experience. Intriguingly, those who experienced side effects after listening could restore their normal perception by playing the entire EP in reverse. It was said that the reverse playback would unwind the cognitive displacement caused by the original sequence, gradually returning memories, expectations, and present awareness to their natural alignment. Dr. Sascha Dornhöfer, who first documented the phenomenon, speculates that the remix by Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) may contain a unique balance of repetition and symmetry that survives both forward and reverse playback. This would explain why listeners experiencing the effects of Zeta Cognition consistently identify it as the point from which normal perception can be restored. In any case, dear listener, there is no cause for concern - the antidote is hidden in reverse. P.S. Then again, who knows. Persistent rumors suggest that Adam Pendleton's exclusive black-and-white artwork conceals a visual counterpart to the phenomenon, though no one has yet determined exactly what it reveals -- or to whom.

NASTIA	TECH041	12"	TECHNO RECORDS	TECH 041EP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 The 41st release on TECHNO Records marks a defining milestone: the first full-scale solo record by the label's founder, Nastia, in her music career. It opens up a new depth of detail within the character and identity of both the artist and the catalogue. Rather than making a loud statement, Nastia focuses on a restrained and functional approach to techno, shaped through subtle shifts in tension, texture, and rhythm. The tracks move with intention, avoiding obvious peaks in favor of gradual development and controlled energy a familiar methodology and a direct analogy to the evolution of the label itself. Crafted with dancefloor energy in mind but not bound by it, the release offers a fresh perspective on the author's persona, stripping away excess and over-explanation. "Indoctrinated" is a masterclass in rhythmic interplay used as a narrative device. "Ignorance Is Keelleeng" is a structured dancefloor powerhouse built on a precise understanding of peak-time energy. "True Majority" is the most forward-thinking cut on the record, providing a definitive blueprint for the hypnotic techno sound of summer. "Additive Integration" is best conceptualized within an extended set where the goal is to gradually establish the atmosphere and dictate the rules of the journey.

ROMANSOFF	Bean Soup	LP	TON TON	TONTON 005EP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 The A side opens with two ambient pieces: "Inception," gritty and haunting, built from field recordings and layered chords, and the dreamier "Regulator Dial." "Air Lock" and "DFtB" turn breaky and lowtempo, evoking early electronica. The flip moves through "Waterproof's" downtempo electro and "Make Right," the LP's most club-ready cut. Title track "Bean Soup" channels early Four Tet: bleepy, minimal, emotional, while "Sunlight" closes with blissful, calming sounds, rounding out a beautifully balanced record. Tudor Gheorghe, aka Romansoff, is a Bucharest DJ, producer and vinyl collector with over 13 years on the capital's underground scene. Inspired by small local parties in the 2000s, he started collecting vinyl, then DJing, quickly becoming a key figure in the Bucharest club scene.

AMINI, SIAVASH	Till Human Voices Wake Us	LP	UMOR REX	URXX CLXIII
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex. It became a key work in the label's catalog, and now it is available on vinyl for the first time. Till Human Voices Wake Us comprises ten tracks with a clear and carefully structured script, based on poems by T.S. Eliot, highlighting Siavash Amini's work as a composer for theater, film, and art exhibitions. His music deliberately leans toward ambient expressions, at times recalling Morricone's Western film scores. The interplay between synthetic and digital elements, together with multilayered, soul-healing electric guitar passages, creates an opulent sonic texture that moves between dramatic and melancholic moments with a finely constructed, fluid dynamism. There is an emotional depth in each piece, guided by tonal variations and shifting textures that turn the music into a mental journey, with landscapes, a sense of cold resolution, and the quiet inevitability of an ending. Till Human Voices Wake Us was Amini's first album on a non-Iranian label. Following this release, he has also published work, in addition to Umor Rex, on labels such as Room40, Hallow Ground, and Opal Tapes, among others, and is now considered one of the most prominent figures in Iran's experimental music scene. All music by Siavash Amini. Original master by Nicholas Szczepanik. Remastered for vinyl by Rafael Anton Irisarri. Artwork by Daniel Castrejón.

CONCEPCION HUERTA	El Sol de los Muertos	LP	UMOR REX	URXX CLXIV
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 Originally released on Umor Rex on cassette, El Sol de los Muertos deeply shaped the evolution and vision of Mexican producer Concepción Huerta's sonic work, becoming a reference point for a kind of experimental sound deeply connected to Latin American critical thought. Crafted entirely through subharmonic structures and tape manipulation, El Sol de los Muertos stands as Concepción Huerta's most abrasive and emotionally charged work to date, rooted in drone, musique concrète, and visceral textures. The album reflects on dispossession, extraction, and colonialism, while connecting deeply with Latin American critical thought and Indigenous resistance across the region. Inspired in part by Eduardo Galeano's work, it is not a manifesto, but an invitation to reflection, memory, and vigilance against the enduring forms of fascism and colonialism. Recorded by Concepción Huerta in 2024 between Berlin, The Hague, and Mexico City. Original master and remastered for vinyl by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, New York. Volcano photography by Magaly Ugarte. Design by Daniel Castrejón in Mexico City.

OJERUM	Selected Organ Works	2LP	VAAGNER.ARCHIVE	VAR 001LP
$50.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/7/2026 øjeRum is the moniker of Danish artist Paw Grabowski. Since 2007, his mostly tape-based works have unfolded like private diaries -- intimate, textural, often centered around a vintage pump organ Paw found left abandoned in a dilapidated Danish home, and to which he would return, sometimes in the dead of winter, to play and record on. The works featured on this release are centered around this pivotal engagement and collect some of his earliest releases from around 2014 to 2017. These were then carefully selected and released via Vaagner's sister label in 2018 via a double cassette release, which has since become a coveted collectors' item. Throughout the album, the organ breathes, sighs -- the moments of brief silence that follow are almost palpable, then like a sonorous echo, the sound rushes back into the foreground with gentle restraint, submerging the listener into an undulating current of emotional upheaval. In this ebb and flow, øjeRum shapes a space where memory seems to waver and dissolve, and where a fragile, lingering melancholy unfolds with a kind of hushed inevitability. With the newly minted Vaagner.Archive, this album is now reissued on vinyl for the first time -- carefully remastered and housed in a 2LP gatefold sleeve printed on special cardboard, its tactile presence echoing the material sensitivity that has always defined Paw Grabowski's practice. A love letter to repetition and restraint.

$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 After the wild Afro-jazz fusion of Trancedance and the meditative solo Christer Bothén Donso n'goni, legendary Swedish multi-instrumentalist Christer Bothén returns to Black Truffle as part of a dream quartet completed by the three members of Ghosted: Oren Ambarchi (guitar), Johan Berthling (bass) and Andreas Werliin (drums). Recorded at a rustic studio built by Werliin and Hans Fredriksson in the sylvan surrounds of Hamburgsund, Sweden across a few days in September 2023, Serpentine offers up four generous slices of hypnotic repetition and shimmering resonance, cut through with wild bursts of Bothén's bass clarinet. The depth and ease of the quartet's rapport is evident from the first moments of the opening title-track. Berthling's resonant upright bass locks into a head-nodding ostinato that makes sensitive use of a prominent end-of-phrase rest, opening spaces through which Werliin's continually shifting statements of the pulse shine through. Having worked together in various groups for many years, Berthling and Werliin are masters at playing subtle games of difference and repetition, creating a driving rhythmic flow animated by perpetually changing details: here, you can never step in the same groove twice. Weaving through it all is Ambarchi's now-signature Leslie-cabinet guitar tone, sounding out long chords at times strikingly close to a Hammond, while also creating intricate cross-rhythms through the play of his tremolo modulations against the bass and drums. When Bothén enters five minutes in, the growl of his bass clarinet at first works deep in the collective brew, carving off brief staccato phrases and twisting them into fragmented melodies. Each of the four pieces explore different possibilities of a shared language. On the closing "Chrysotile," the bottom drops out, leaving a swampy, churning mass of wavering organ-like chords, roaming bass runs, and distant toms, over which Bothén floats bass clarinet figures by turns bluesy and abstract, the whole thing landing somewhere between classic ECM and the most blasted freeform moments of early Amon Düül II. Bearing a delicate calligraphic abstraction by Bothén on its cover and beautiful documentation of the recording sessions on its inner sleeve, Serpentine is a powerful reminder of the magic that can happen when inventive musicians just get together and play.

As Nasnusa fades into the light, her lover recalls her beauty and reflects fondly on the wonderful time they shared together.

SABABA 5 & YURIKA	Kokoro (Purple Vinyl)	LP	BATOV RECORDS	BTR 098PRPL-LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Purple color vinyl. Middle Eastern psych, funk, disco, and Japanese folk and pop, converge to create a mesmerizing new sound on Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika's collaborative debut album for Batov Records, collecting four acclaimed singles and four brand new songs. Renowned for their innovative approach to merging Middle Eastern psych, funk and disco grooves, Sababa 5 found their perfect partner in Japanese singer and belly dancer Yurika Hanashima, who having graced stages dancing with Boom Pam and Ouzo Bazooka, found her own voice alongside the group, and together yielded hits "Tokyo Midnight," "Nasnusa," and "Crossroad of Love," earning accolades from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Cerys Mathews, and Jeremy Sole. In Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika present a collection of tracks that transcend cultural boundaries and delve into the depths of human emotion. Psychedelic soul, with touches of the Mediterranean coast and desert. Ilam Smilan's exceptional guitar playing stands out, as does the unwavering groove and rhythm of drummer Raz Man; recently heard among a coterie of feted studio musicians for Mr Bongo signing Project Gemini. The second half of the record collects Sababa 5 and Yurika's earlier and incredibly popular singles. The dance floor smashing "Tokyo Midnight" is an up-tempo psychedelic funk ripper, whilst "Nasnusa," with its walking bassline and nostalgic love story, is the biggest hit in Sababa 5's repertoire thus far. Love in the moment is a recurring theme as the "Crossroad Of Love" (Ai no Kousaten) delivers another timeless moment of Mediterranean meets Japanese soul. The attraction of Yurika's mesmerizing vocals over Sababa 5's infectious grooves is irresistible across Kokoro, and the album marks a significant milestone in both their musical journeys. As Sababa 5 continue to redefine their sound, and Yurika establishes herself as a vocalist of note, Kokoro stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the timeless bonds of music, love and romance.

SUN RA & HIS ARKESTRA	East Two + 7	CD	COSMIC MYTH RECORDS	CMR 010CD
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 "East Two comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972-73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe. The title track, 'East Two,' is one of two pieces on this album originating at a two-day October 1972 session at Chicago's Streeterville Studios. It's an ominous, sprawling processional, and the only known recording of this moody work. Arkestra baritone saxophonist Pat Patrick played electric bass on this session, which also featured Ra's typically idiosyncratic synth, along with fine solos from Kwame Hadi (trumpet) and Arkestra mainstay John Gilmore (tenor sax). The other track is an alternate version of 'Rocket #9' where Ra's voice is scarcely heard in the ensemble vocals in favor of the Space Ethnic Voices. Additional material is taken from 1973 Variety Studios sessions in NYC including 'In Tomorrow's Realm,' where veteran Arkestra bassist Ronnie Boykins provided the anchor with his bass line forming its vital rhythmic framework. This would be the final year Boykins worked regularly with Ra and this track is a fitting tribute to his role in the band, demonstrating how essential he was to Sun Ra's sound. CD version contains additional tracks of two live performances from 1984 and 1985."

CXBXT	.After Again (Remixes)	LP	CONSTRUCTIVE	CN 014LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 .After Again (Remixes) is the remix album from After by CxBxT (Tujiko Noriko, Adrian Corker, and George Barton). DJ Trystero (Trilogy Tapes, Felt) takes the slow drum machine jam of "Toku No Minato" and turns it into a pair of deep, dark techno cuts, one "All Frills" the other stripped back with some old school Detroit drum programming. Koshiro Hino's YPY alter ego turns "Yasashii Sayanora" into a nearly nine minute industrial dub, taking Corker's bass, Barton's Thai gongs, and Tujiko's voice and twisting them into strange shapes. As counterpoint London's DJ ojo (Blank Mind) makes a blissful dubbed out groove around harp glissandi from a child's toy and Barton's metallic percussion. Shojiro Nakaoka bounces stereo versions as excerpts of his longer generative code-based work. The original work, released on digital art platform Objkt, takes the stems of Shakou, creating a browser-based work generating endless shifting tides of black and white image and abstracted sound again with a strong dub flavor. Finally, the album end with the only track that preserves the whole vocal performance from the original, as Tashi Wada takes "Aurora Sagashi" and reframes Tujiko's lilting vocals as a nocturne, rearranging and re-harmonizing the lullaby-like lines to the sway of his organ playing. The vinyl is released in an edition of 200 and comes with an insert. Design by Joji Koyama and mastered by Stephan Mathieu for Schwebung Mastering.

The album has a minimalist and unusual sound: the songs are built primarily around vocals, two electric guitars and bass, with no drums, creating an intimate, ethereal and almost hypnotic atmosphere. It includes the original "Dazed and Confused" song, best known in the Led Zeppelin's version.

$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Stone Angel is the self-titled album by the English folk group Stone Angel, released in 1971 on Seashell record. The group hailed from the rural counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the album deeply reflects that setting: deeply rooted traditional English folk, but with a psychedelic touch typical of the era. Simple acoustic arrangements (guitar, dulcimer, female vocals), intimate and pastoral atmospheres, featuring ballads and ancient melodies, a slight "acid folk" vein, similar to bands such as Pentangle or Fairport Convention. A key feature is Barbara Burton's voice, delicate and almost ethereal, which helps to create a suspended, melancholic sound.

$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 On August 4, 2018 in the scorching Berlin sunshine, Faust performed a truly stunning and unique set, featuring iconic material rarely, if ever, performed live. What made this so special was hearing such pieces as "Why Don't You Eat Carrots?" played live, with the small choir perfecting that part of the song. For those lucky enough to have been there, they witnessed a Faust show never seen before, or ever to be repeated. This CD was recorded on a professional digital recorder (not a phone). It has been lovingly remastered by Amaury Cambuzat, possibly the only person capable of doing so, without compromising the nature of the show. Nothing has been added, so there will be imperfections. It comes packaged in a mini-LP gatefold wallet, with a gloss spot varnish.

$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Gimic finally release their debut album on Drunken Sailor after a demo and two 7" singles on Crew Cuts Records. Gimic are a band that take their time and deal in quality over quantity having released just 13 songs so far in their six-year life span. New Traditions is a 12-song album that plays and feels like a mission statement and a record that will be loved by the current generation but also will be discovered in years to come as one of 2026's masterpieces. It's urgent, energetic and twists and turns at every corner. The rhythm section is locked in and in perfect harmony whilst the guitar tone is clean and sharp but it's Harry's voice that give it that confrontational and emotional edge with her blood-curdlingly vocals. It's like a hardcore Minutemen mixed with an angry math rock band mixed with the musicanship of No Means No. This is a punk record by four people who live and breathe DIY Punk. Gimic have made an outstanding and inventive album that deserves your love and attention.

DRAGON	Universal Radio	LP	EMINENT VINYL	EMV 006LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Originally released on the Vertigo label in 1974 in Australia and their homeland of New Zealand, Universal Radio was Dragon's debut recording. It was also a country mile -- musically speaking -- from the chart-topping anthemic pop they would later become famous for, but that's another story. They released one more album while stationed in NZ in 1975, Scented Gardens For The Blind (also to be reissued by Eminent), before transplanting themselves permanently in Australia and hitting it big with tracks like "April Sun In Cuba," "Get That Jive," "Rain" et al. Universal Radio features the lineup of Marc and Todd Hunter, Ivan Thompson, Ray Goodwin, and Neil Storey, six glorious tracks of elongated and ever-shifting progressive rock (elements of Pink Floyd, Cressida, and early Genesis in there) and the fantastical artwork of Dick Frizzel. The band had garnered a strong domestic following through festival and university concerts and came to record as a fully-evolved beast, mixing the whimsy of "Weetbix" with the darker tones of "Graves." Universal Radio is simply an excellent example of '70s progressive rock, New Zealand or not, and stands alongside Split Enz's debut, Mental Notes, as one of the best and most unique NZ recordings of its day. First ever vinyl reissue, fully authorized by the band, with royalties going directly to the band. Housed in a hi-gloss sleeve with four-page booklet featuring photos, artwork and liner notes penned by noted music historian and author, Ian McFarlane.

BERLE, BRUNO	Sem Fronteiras	CD	FAR OUT RECORDINGS	FARO 259CD
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Bruno Berle is a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and figurehead of a contemporary Brazilian music movement. With a quiet mastery of songwriting and an astonishing voice, his music has won hearts around the world. Since the release of his debut album No Reino Dos Afetos (2022), Berle has performed across the UK, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and China, only leaving his home country for the first time in 2023. Shaped by these journeys, Berle's third studio album, Sem Fronteiras (Without Borders), reflects a utopian vision of a unified world. Recorded across London, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Germany, and Maceió, the album -- co-produced alongside his longstanding musical partner Batata Boy -- is the most expansive canvas Berle has worked on to date. Shot through with the imagery that has always animated his songwriting: open skies, morning light, vivid colors and the magic of human connection, Berle's carefully crafted poetics and warm, delicate instrumentation drive this vivid body of work. On Sem Fronteiras, there is a similar duality at play. The album celebrates the collective joy and human connection that live touring brings, but it also sits with the darker realities of crossing borders. While music moves more freely around the world than ever before, our bodies are not granted the same privilege. Though he's never lacked self-belief, Berle recognizes that talent alone doesn't guarantee opportunity. Sem Fronteiras opens with "Você Já Sabe Que Eu Te Amo," just six beats of one nylon guitar chord ring out before changing key, paving the way for the gentle strike of Fender Rhodes and the arresting call & response duet between Berle and Higor. On "Amor Inteiro," the album reaches a celebratory burst of catharsis, with the punch-packing drums of Pedro Lacerda and Nina Maia's joyous backing vocals encapsulating the live energy that Berle and his band bring to the stage.

VALENTIN, PAUL	Of Sand EP	12"	FEINES TIER	FEINES 076EP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 After the dissolution of his wave-making duo project Ameli Paul, Berlin based musician and producer Paul Valentin aims to venture down new roads and finds help from illustrious folks like Liv Lisa Fries, DJ Koze, Thomass Jackson and Philipp Fein along the way. Valentin's debut EP on Feines Tier marks his first solo release in 10 years and is a colorful journey through sonic worlds and emotions in the continuous search for his own sound. Opener "ELVAU" is a collaboration with actor Liv Lisa Fries built around their intimate voice recordings which are woven delicately into a dreamy web of shimmering synths atop pulsating break beats that would make Bicep proud. For his remix, His Kosiness, the Tripsitter Himself also known as DJ Koze follows the breakbeat path further down, gleefully taking all sorts of wonky and fun diversions on the way, which makes one hope that the ride never ends. Follow-up tune "Malfunction" is a more straightforward affair with its rolling synth arps and is -- in Valentin's own words -- "about personal failure, dissolution, and the distortion of the self." Equally dark under- and overtones are throwing shades over "WhatThe!", dealing with anger and transformations, resulting in a banger for the heavier moments on the dancefloor or the mind between your headphones. The EP closes on a more hopeful note with "Listen", which stands for "everything that could be, if we listened to each other." And it's never a bad idea to listen to chirping 303 basslines, especially when paired with melancholic synth pads and weird vocal samples, as is the case here. The rework of Thomass Jackson and FT-head honcho Philipp Fein feels beautifully anachronistic with its reduced tempo and could have been something Andrew Weatherall would have played when he was still playing our earthly dancefloors.

PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS	Planetary People	3LP	OSTGUT TON	OSTGUT 039LP
$87.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Since Temporary Suspension brought its machine-tooled weight and alien feeling to the label in 2009, each Planetary Assault Systems release on Ostgut Ton has been its own quest for discovery, from The Messenger's search for sounds not yet present in club music to Arc Angel's focus on melody to the deep hypnosis of Plantae. His new album, Planetary People has the deliberate imagination and depth of a record that took its time, shaped as much by live rooms and crowds as by the studio. "Into The Night" creates a haunting, dystopic environment of corroded acid saturated in echo, absorbing from the first second. "Labyrinth" breaks into buoyant tribal percussion, modulated chirps trading off over propulsive drums. "Quadrant 10" is clean, delay-drenched techno, buzzing with noise splatters over saturated thuds. "Sermon Of The Light Tides" scrambles metallic bell sequences that distort and evolve throughout, reminiscent of a dial-up modem crossed with a game of Frogger, squelching between percussive bursts and stripped-back kicks. "Brave Cosmo" is tormentingly menacing, eerie synths panning around buried vocal fragments over frantic percussion. "Retina Burn" rolls on fierce, cement-mixer 909 cycles, rave stabs over a ride that locks you in, the whole track stuttering and repeating before stripping back to a bare echoing kick and building itself again. "Thunder Major" barrels on open hats and reverb-drenched claps ricocheting through twisting wreaths of delay, mesmeric and relentless. "Beton Brut" marches juggernaut percussion stamping through hall reverb so vast you can visualize the room, the darkest and most unrelenting track on the record. "No Ninja" crunches in metallic and immediate, a wiry plucked lead threading through glitch with the bass held low and deep, mixed so precisely you can see every layer stacked in your mind's eye. "Ha Jam" is danceable techno with plenty of funk and a sophisticated looseness, a vocal laugh bouncing off clanging metal blocks and rave stabs. "Lynx" lowpasses its rave stabs and crystalline beeps, chirpy hats ticking, cold metal repeats, old school and mesmeric. "Generation Slip" closes everything out, ominous and churning, skittering percussion and electrical sparks rattling through steel, a freight train barreling on into oblivion.

BON/PIT SPECTOR, JACQUES	Maree Bass EP	12"	LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON	PLAYRJC 133EP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Jacques Bon and Pit Spector are a Paris based artist duo working with a clear and reduced understanding of club music. Their productions move within a state of controlled uncertainty. They are precisely constructed, formally defined, and at the same time emotionally open. Their shared approach develops a musical language that creates depth not through complexity, but through feeling, space, and time. The tracks unfold organically, moving between direction and drift. This openness can be understood as a musical reflection of Pascal's thinking. Truth here is not something fully accessible through reason alone, but something that appears in lived experience. Fragmented, intuitive, and without final certainty. Margaux Gazur translates these tensions into a condensed contemporary form. Her remix brings together intensity and clarity without losing the emotional openness of the original material. The result is a direct physical presence, a form of truth that does not need explanation, but is immediately felt. In this sense she continues the same idea. Emotion as a mode of understanding beyond pure logic. The visual concept by Konstantin Fürchtegott Kipfmüller extends this approach through a reduced and tension driven visual language. His work is not intended as an illustration of the music, but as its own space. A state of visual clarity that follows its own internal logic and does not require resolution.

GHOST DUBS	Damaged	CD	PRESSURE	PRESH 024CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 Ghost Dubs, real name Michael Fiedler, aka Jah Schulz, announces a rebirth with Damaged, his first album for The Bug's PRESSURE label. Having recently dropped two criminally overlooked, experimental dub LPs, with his Dub Over Science series, the German producer/bass specialist, now stretches his own parameters of outwardness still further, with these twelve fresh explorations of dub deviance. For those who feel the fusion of dub techno and ambient drone had creatively ended with the demise of the short lived, Berlin based Chain Reaction label. Ghost Dubs now upgrades, and extends that legendary blueprint's abstract methodology even further and deeper, floating away upon a wonderfully warm sea of hiss and static bliss. This is dub so atomized that it disintegrates within your eardrums. Its music, where the machines take over and virtually all traces of humanity are erased. But thankfully, the warmest soul still oozes seductively from the pores of Fiedler's robo riddims. Relentlessly hypnotic, seriously sedated, Damaged celebrates the point of departure within its mesmerizing low-end grooves. It's no surprise that PRESSURE would then turn to the great, Berlin based producer Stefan Betke, to master/cut this collection at his infamous Scape mastering room. And a fine job he did too, as high-quality sound and levels are definitely maintained throughout. If you like your melodies submerged, your dub narcotic, your basslines obese, and your beats evaporating, Damaged provides the perfect prescription and entry point into Ghost Dub's spectral soundworld.

She initiated the free-improvising trio with her mentor Graewe and British master drummer Mark Sanders, who has worked with many greats in the British, European, and American free jazz and free improvised music scenes. Sanders first collaborated with Graewe in his quintet in the 1990s (Concert in Berlin 1996, Wobbly Rail, 1999), and continued to work with Graewe in the Frisque Concordance band. This trio first performed live at London's Cafe OTO in March 2026 during Sanders' three-day residency in the club. Actuance was recorded in Vienna in November 2025 and offers eleven chamber pieces for the uncommon instrumentation of viola, piano, and drums. The album's title refers to the abrupt transition from light to dark in a physical, objective measure of an image at the edges of objects. It defines the steepness of the tonal gradient across boundaries, directly influencing the human eye's perception of sharpness and clarity in a photograph. It is an apt description of how spontaneous, improvised ideas, a brief and evocative melody, or just an abstract sound gravitate organically into instant, coherent, and often complex and intense compositions.

ATOUI, JAD	Change Image It Will Take Forever	LP	RUPTURED	RPTD 079LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 On It Will Take Forever, Beirut-based sound artist Jad Atoui constructs six immersive modular synthesis pieces shaped by instability, suspended time, and physical endurance. Developed through live performance between 2023 and 2025, the album stretches the force and physicality of club sound into abstract electronic environments built from distortion, feedback, saturation, and drifting tonal fragments. Drawing from ambient noise, power electronics, electro-acoustic composition, and free improvisation, the record explores release and collapse not as musical gestures but as bodily states. Loud, dense, and emotionally disorienting, these pieces move through pressure and fragmentation while maintaining a tactile sense of presence. Mixed by Anthony Sahyoun and mastered by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier, It Will Take Forever continues Atoui's singular trajectory within Beirut's experimental music landscape.

STATION MODEL VIOLENCE	Station Model Violence	CD	STATIC SHOCK RECORDS	SSR 133CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026 "After moving to Sydney I had an overwhelming need to start a new band and sing again. Total Control and Straightjacket Nation would be difficult to gather any momentum with my living interstate, and also I wanted to settle here and start something new and try and obliterate some of the stasis that entered my veins from the lockdown. Low Life asked me to play a solo show with Iceage at the opera house, but I had no ambitions for solo performance and had no songs, so I formed a band called KX Aminal with Greta, Michael, and Micky from Den, and Josh from Diat. KX Aminal are an important part of the Station Model Violence story. KX Aminal went into stasis and I got the itch again. Buz had written a few demos that didn't work as RMFC songs and he asked me to have a listen to hear if I could sing something on it, and over the winter of 2024 I visited his home studio and we recorded some vocal ideas with his demos. We released a demo for 'Learn To Hate' 'recorded after eating mushrooms on fabulous winter evening' and formed a lineup for a one-off show in late 2024 with Micky (Den), Yuta (The Lewers) and Georgia (G2g). This was the final Idiota Civilisaaaztatatanini show, so a nice loop back with Josh. After this show, Yuta and Georgia left, and Michael (Den), Alan (RMFC) and Kuceli (Gaud) joined. Seeing as Micky, Michael, Kuceli and I played in KX Aminal and we never got to record those songs, we decided to absorb some of them into Station Model Violence. We combined some of those KX songs with the demos Buz wrote and wrote a couple of new songs together and played a couple of shows, and then recorded an LP with Mikey in Melbourne and Micky in Sydney at the start of 2025. The album was mixed over the course of the year as we had created this incredibly dense beast and much credit is due to the patience and persistence of Mikey Young." -- Station Model Violence

STEINMETZ WITH THE RADIO JAZZ GROUP, HUGH	Afrodisiaca	LP	FORMALIBERA	8FFHS191
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Formalibera presents a previously unreleased LP edition by Hugh Steinmetz including the first recording of "Afrodisiaca." Recorded a year before the Cadentia Nova Danica version issued by Tchicai on the legendary LP on MPS, the recording presented here was done with the Danish Radio Jazz Group, is longer in duration and even wilder in approach. Side B features three more previously unreleased and very experimental tracks, also recorder with the Danish Radio Jazz Group during the 1960s. Radical music with tape manipulations, repetitive minimalistic ostinatos, brutal fadings, extreme tape speedings. This LP edition includes an insert with liner notes by Mats Gustafsson. "Steinmetz was one of very few Scandinavian musicians who actually travelled south and collaborated with European musicians in the late '60s. To interact with other musicians is KEY. The Danes did it. Early on. They went there. As creative magnets looking for artists to share the moment with. In my world. He is a legend. And a key to understand the early developments of free jazz. The possibilities given to Steinmetz by the leader of the Danish Radio Jazz Group, Erik Moseholm, created chances to explore and to experiment. In a studio situation with a large hand-picked band and time to rehearse. Ideas and perspectives grabbing the moment. Presented on this vinyl are different occasions where Steinmetz was working with The Danish Radio Jazz Group in various settings and situations. Different ideas tried out and realized with endless support of Moseholm. Radical jazz music in large settings. Those times were WILD! Steinmetz was given the chance. And he used it. The collection of pieces presented on this album makes my jaw fall into my lap. Makes me breathe without lungs. Makes me sweat." --Mats Gustafsson, April 2026

PURGATE	Leavings	CD	AESTHETICAL	AES 013CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Following the acclaimed previous album Transcend, which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. Leavings marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognizable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conventional structures in favor of fluid movement, instinctive composition, and perpetual transformation. Across nine expansive pieces, Arbour explores the threshold between rhythm and abstraction. Pulses emerge only to fragment. Patterns suggest direction before evaporating into vast textural environments. The result is a body of work that embraces ambiguity, inviting listeners into a space where certainty is abandoned and exploration becomes the guiding principle. The album's title carries multiple resonances. Leavings suggests remnants, traces, and fragments left behind after a process of transformation. It evokes both departure and residue, the echoes of former identities, structures, and creative languages that persist even as new forms emerge. Throughout the album, sounds appear as artifacts in motion, suspended between memory and reinvention. Textures drift between shadow and illumination, density and emptiness. Moments of fragile beauty emerge from complex layers of sound, only to recede again into abstraction. A quiet tension permeates the work, the sensation of crossing invisible thresholds while navigating territories that resist fixed definition. Neither a continuation nor a rejection of previous works, Leavings stands as a document of transition. It captures the fertile space between dissolution and creation, where familiar forms are relinquished and unforeseen possibilities begin to take shape. With Leavings, Purgate enters a new phase of artistic evolution, crafting an immersive and deeply evocative work that transcends genre boundaries while remaining rooted in the project's enduring fascination with atmosphere, depth, and transformation. A compelling journey through shifting sonic architectures, Leavings reveals Frederic Arbour at his most adventurous and uncompromising, embracing uncertainty not as an obstacle, but as a path toward discovery. CD edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak.

PISANI, CAMILLA	Konstellationen	CD	AESTHETICAL	AES 014CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 With Konstellationen, Camilla Pisani explores language as a fluid and universal force, extending beyond words into sound, gesture, symbols, and even the movements of the stars. At the heart of the work lies rhythm, the fundamental principle linking music, astronomy, and human perception, transforming disparate forms of expression into a unified creative language. Through layered arrangements, hypnotic pulses, and suspended atmospheric textures, Pisani creates a series of immersive sonic environments where rhythm becomes more than structure, evolving into a vehicle for emotion, transformation, and connection. Delicate yet powerful, the compositions unfold as dreamlike spaces suspended between intimacy and vastness. Expanding beyond the purely musical, Konstellationen embraces a multidimensional artistic approach in which sound, text, and imagery exist in constant dialogue. Each composition is accompanied by writings developed by the artist over several years, offering poetic entry points into the work and enriching its narrative depth. Conceived as both a personal reflection and a universal gesture, Konstellationen presents electronic music as a spiritual language, one capable of transcending cultural boundaries through shared sonic experience. Cyclical rhythms echo celestial movements, natural forces, and collective human experience, inviting listeners into a world where perception, imagination, and communication converge. CD edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak with 16 pages booklet.

MORRICONE, ENNIO	La Notte E Il Momento	CD	BEAT	BCM 9628CD
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Beat Records reissues on CD the brilliant OST by Ennio Morricone for the romantic film La notte e il momento, directed in 1995 by Anna Maria Tatò with a screenplay by Anna Maria Tatò and Jean-Claude Carrière, photography by Giuseppe Rotunno, editing by Ruggero Mastroianni, music by Ennio Morricone. Morricone perfectly represented the eighteenth century in music with a fascinating orchestral soundtrack introduced by the cheerful and fast-paced baroque main theme. The composer always created atmospheres balanced between romanticism and comedy. The love theme emerges in "La notte e il momento," which listeners hear again in "The loving game" sung by Simona Patitucci. The purely eighteenth-century atmosphere is produced by the sound of "Un clavicembalo," the mysterious and suspended string tremolos acting as background in "Spiegazioni di torture," and a solemn march for wind instruments and strings in "Tromba e cavalli." In 1995, Sony published a CD prepared by the composer, and in 2011, GDM reissued this music on CD with the addition of six bonus tracks for which Ennio Morricone gave his approval. This presentation returns this OST to the market as a tribute to the musical brilliance of Ennio Morricone.

In 1985, Ennio Morricone prepared a twelve-track album that never saw the light of day at the time, but ten years later, in 1995, the material was released on GDM Point paired with "Corleone." In 2007, under Ennio Morricone's supervision, Il pentito was expanded on GDM CD with the addition of eight bonus tracks.

NANA, YASSINE	Modern Pop from Mauritania (1984-1989)	LP	BONGO JOE RECORDS	BJR 125LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 LP version. This compilation brings together eight tracks by Yassine Nana and his group, recorded between 1984 and 1989, during a key moment in Mauritania's musical history. A central figure of one of the country's most respected musical families, Yassine stands at the crossroads of a long-standing tradition and a period of deep transformation in form, sound and production. Recorded in Mauritania as well as during stays in Paris and Rabat, these songs integrate drum machines, synthesizers and electric guitars into Saharan musical structures. Influenced by reggae, soul and new wave, the group develops a sound that reflects the circulation of music and technology in the 1980s, while remaining firmly rooted in Mauritanian languages, themes and melodic systems. Love, travel, exile and music itself run through lyrics sung in Hassaniya and classical Arabic. Originally released on cassette and long confined to local circulation, these recordings offer a rare perspective on African popular music of the period, seen from Nouakchott. A body of work that documents a Mauritanian modernity, both popular and exploratory, now brought back into circulation by Les Disques Bongo Joe and Sofa Records.

At Shlomo's studio, machines were synced, knobs twisted, natural wine poured, and improvisations recorded. Felix shaped the material into two instrumental drafts and sent them to Geneva. BBE reworked them, adding vocals. A series of tight exchanges between Hamburg and Geneva followed until the final form emerged. The 7" was then mastered by Gavin Weiss.

The arrangements are rich with detail, yet nothing competes for attention. Even in the densest passages, every sound feels deliberate. 'Olahni' opens patiently, with ghostly textures and hypnotic vocal fragments setting the tone before the bassline slowly comes into focus. 'Ifthah' takes things into darker territory, driven by a heavy rolling bassline and a looping motif that never quite loosens its grip, adding weight without disrupting the flow. On 'Fumaxohn,' the groove remains tight while the mood shifts. 'Pentho' closes the EP in its most direct form. Stripped back and driving, it lands with quiet confidence, bringing the journey to a close while holding onto the hypnotic tension.

$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Grey color vinyl. "War.Poem was recorded at The Rock Noir studio in 2025/2026 as a reaction to a piece I read on the Israeli military use of flechette shells in Gaza. This led to a much deeper study of the 20th/21st century history of war. The album was composed entirely using a Tape O Matic 710 reel to reel from 1958, a 1960s mayfaair JVC reel to reel, aa 1965 G.E. solid state portable reel to reel from 1965, a portable 1970's Panasonic cassette player, a ring modulator as well as various other effects and synths. The loop that is the basis for 'War Poem Zero' which takes up the whole of side one, happened by accident when I put a reel on the wrong way up, it produced aa sound of such great melancholy and beauty, I just let it play. This album owes a debt to 'Swansong' by Nurse With Wound from the album A Missing Sense where experimental sound is used as an anti-war protest." --Chris Connelly, 2026

HUNGRY GHOSTS	Hungry Ghosts	2LP	EMINENT VINYL	EMV 004LP
$54.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 First time ever on vinyl for the 1999 debut album by cult Melbourne outfit, Hungry Ghosts. Originally released on CD on the Reliant label and produced by Rowland S. Howard (Birthday Party/Young Charlatans), it sounded like a band from another place and time. Nominally thrown into the "post-rock" sphere, the Hungry Ghosts brought so much more to the table than such restrictive terms may imply. Featuring an eclectic array of percussive and stringed instruments, with some brass thrown in for good measure, the band created its own world of expressive instrumental music that played like a lost European film soundtrack. Soon after its release, the group made their way to the US to record for Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth)'s Smells Like label, and the story continues from there. This 2LP edition features the debut full-length CD on vinyl for the very first time, as well as their debut self-released (and -titled) EP from two years earlier. Inside is an informative four-page booklet with extensive liner notes telling the Hungry Ghosts story. Highly recommended for fans of: Dirty Three, Low, Triffids.

INVISIBLE COLLEGE, THE	The Luxury Of Horns	LP	EMINENT VINYL	EMV 007LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 The Melbourne trio from the early '80s known as The Invisible College were a bit of a mystery to those who knew of their sole cassette release, The Luxury Of Horns, released on the RASH (Decisions) label in 1982, and that was the point. The group was otherwise known as Laughing Hands, a crucial cog in the influential and highly creative experimental post-punk scene centered around the Clifton Hill Organ Factory in inner city Melbourne. The Laughing Hands released a series of exceptional LPs in the first half of the decade before splitting, with member Paul Schutze then beginning a successful solo career that has seen him based in the UK for the past 35 years. Since then, Schutze has scored soundtracks, collaborated with the likes of Brian Eno and Jah Wobble, and released many recordings on labels from Virgin to Extreme. The Invisible College used the alias for this release to dupe a critic who was always deriding the works of the Laughing Hands, to see if they could elicit a positive review without the baggage (they did!). It is a truly remarkable DIY release from the era, one that mixes electronics with a more organic feel. Over the course of seven tracks, the music slowly evolves and devolves, blending the sounds of Berlin-school electronics (Manuel Gottsching, Conrad Schnitzler) with the Fourth World sonics of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell. It also provides an excellent musical bridge between the more minimalist sounds of Laughing Hands and Schutze's adventurous and prolific solo career. The Luxury Of Horns is experimental yet imminently listenable, at times broaching on a kind of proto-techno, just as Manuel Gottsching's E2E4 did around the same time. This edition is the first time it's ever been released as a stand-alone LP, with all-new artwork and liner notes from Schutze himself.

Built for the late-night hours and the depths of the club, X54 is an uncompromising addition to the Figure catalog.

CONNORS/ELLIOTT SHARP/MICHAEL VALLERA, LOREN	When the Moon is New	LP	FEEDING TUBE RECORDS	FTR 827LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 "There are fewer great guitar trio records than you'd suspect. Guitar duo sessions are far more abundant, and these three players have all done their share of those. But the dynamics of a trio are more-fickle. And when creating collaborative non-hierarchical music, maintaining a balance between three distinct voices is not easy. It requires rapt attention, a fearless approach to entering the unknown, and very good ears to do it successfully. Clearly, Connors, Vallera, and Sharp display mastery of all of these conditions and then some. Recorded live at P.I.T. (Property Is Theft) in Brooklyn, When the Moon Is New documents the first meeting for the trio. Loren and Elliott, two of the best-known experimenting guitarists on the planet, have a long-shared history, dating back to the days of the legendary Chapel Arts Center in New Haven. Elliott appeared there regularly and often did some jamming with Loren on those occasions. Michael Vallera is from a different generation and came of age in a world where players like Loren, Ellliot, Keith Rowe and Derek Bailey had already blown apart any and all notions of the guitar's limitations. His work explores textures, colors and possibilities born from the knowledge that there are no limits to the guitar's sonic possibilities. Together, the three create a beautifully layered universe of sound, as wide open and cosmic as recent images from the Webb Space Telescope. Occasionally I think I can ID some complex pluckery as Sharp's, some blues-canted shimmer as Connor's or some mutli-valent sound sheet as Vallera's, but in truth, this is an excellent example of 'fourth mind' creation in the Burroughsian sense. The individual parts played by each of artists combine themselves into something much larger than three commingled streams. There's a gigantic heft to the collective sound that will bowl you over in the best possible way. A truly magnificent record, When the Moon Is New, is an immersive and joyful example of experimental music at its most inviting and evocative. If it doesn't thrill you, I don't know what would." --Byron Coley, 2026

FOOTE/DICKOW	High Cube	LP	GEOGRAPHIC NORTH	GN 079LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 "High Cube is the beat-focused brainchild of Brian Foote (Peak Oil, Leech) and Paul Dickow (Strategy, Community Library), two legends of the US experimental underground. After some 30-odd years of making music separately and together, Foote and Dickow are collaborating in earnest for the first time as a duo. For this debut the pair enforced a simple, stringent set of rules: five instruments, a one-hour timer, and a total ban on overthinking. The result is the sound of two old friends unplugging the usual levers and letting the 'accident' of their chemistry take the wheel. It is drier, sparser, and decidedly 'chunky' -- a fictional band stepping into a suit to drive around for a while. It is neither dance nor chill-out, but a moody, complex trajectory defined not by the gear used to make it but by the narrative mood it compels. 'Volcano Snail' starts things off in a disheveled shuffle, locking into gear with blurred and bubbling effluence. The shimmering dimness is lit low, with a woozy gait that recalls the headiest highs and luminescent lows of Jan Jelinek. 'Underwater Welder' is a foggy, neon-lit cruise of skittering low-ends suspended in a permanent fall of color, while 'A Dragon's Treasure is its Soul' offers blown-apart, low-end city pop fragmented into an array of rhythmic detritus. Chordal textures hover in the air as a percussive loop takes its beguiling and frolicking shape. B-side opener 'Yonaguni' shapeshifts in real time, drifting with the grace of a glacier before bobbing in a frigid pool of vibrating clatter, static, and synth stabs. 'Ofid+wor' offers a tried and true blitz of braindance, nodding to an endless list of 20th and 21st-century electronic body music. Buoyant closer 'Mother of Thousands' holds a gravity-defying tenderness, pirouetting on a breeze with the elegance of effervescent longing. The six extended tracks of High Cube are tethered to nothing but the ether -- a giant sonic leap of peripheral absurdity from two artists with a lifetime of shared rhythm."

WRITING ON THE WALL	The Power of The Picts	LP	GUERSSEN RECORDS	GUESS 276LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Formed in Edinburgh in 1966 as The Jury, Writing On The Wall evolved from a fierce soul-based live act into one of the most powerful and theatrical hard psychedelic rock bands to emerge from the UK underground. Inspired first by American soul and R&B and later transformed by exposure to West Coast psychedelia through artists like Love and The Doors, the band developed a unique sound combining heavy organ-driven psych, proto-progressive experimentation, hard rock aggression and dramatic stagecraft. Fronted by the charismatic Linnie Paterson and powered by the dynamic interplay of Willy Finlayson, Bill Scott, Jake Scott and Jimmy Hush, Writing On The Wall quickly became notorious for their explosive concerts at legendary venues such as Middle Earth and The Marquee Club. Their intense performances earned support from BBC DJ John Peel, who invited the band to record multiple sessions for his influential Top Gear radio show. In 1969 the band released their sole album, The Power Of The Picts, on the short-lived Middle Earth label, linked to the hippie club with the same name. Today regarded as a cornerstone of British heavy psychedelic rock, the album fused dark Doors-inspired atmospheres, crushing Hammond organ, extended improvisation and proto-metal energy years ahead of its time. Despite critical praise, major live popularity and opportunities to break internationally -- including a triumphant appearance before 60,000 people at Brazil's Rio Song Festival -- the band's career became trapped in management disputes, failed label deals and bad luck. This reissue, sanctioned by original member Jimmy Hush, tells the full story of a band that should have stood alongside contemporaries such as Deep Purple, Family, Arthur Brown, or early Wishbone Ash. Remastered sound with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Includes insert with liner notes by David Wells with input by drummer Jimmy Hush and rare photos/memorabilia.

RADIGUE, ELIANE	Adnos I-III (2026 Edition)	3CD	IMPORTANT RECORDS	IMPREC 543CD
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 When Eliane Radigue departed this realm in February 2026, at age 94, she left behind a singular, inimitable body of work. Her focus on slowly changing, highly detailed drone music yielded numerous monoliths among which Adnos stands tall. Composed and recorded on tape between 1973-1982 using an Arp 2500 modular synthesizer, these astonishing pieces exemplify Radigue's quote about how slow changes, vibrations deep within her sounds, ultimately shape the textures of her sonic work: "If a stone in the river moves, the river is not changed, but after a long time it becomes something completely different." This 2026 repress preserves the 2013 package design; a thorough collaboration between Eliane Radigue and John Brien of Important Records. A 24-page booklet of Adnos-era archival material accompanies the three compact discs in a heavy-duty quad-fold, 8-panel cardboard jacket printed inside and out. "Time is of no importance. All that counts is the duration necessary for a seamless development. My music evolves organically. It's like a plant. We never see a plant move, but it is growing continually. Like plants, immobile but always growing, my music is never stable. It is ever changing." --Eliane Radigue "A steady stream of sonic activity taking place right at the edge of one's perception." --New York Times "This piece represents the height of musical sensitivity." --Village Voice

FRIZZI, FABIO	Il Secondo Tragico Fantozzi (White Crystal Vinyl)	LP	CINEVOX	LPOST 077LP
$43.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Cinevox Records, in collaboration with AMS and Beat Records Company, presents the first-ever vinyl release of Il Secondo Tragico Fantozzi's soundtrack, marking the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Fantozzi II. Fantozzi II, directed again by Luciano Salce, is the sequel to the highly successful first film, released just a year earlier. It picks up on the original plot, expanding it with numerous new situations involving Italy's most famous accountant, played by Paolo Villaggio. The soundtrack, composed by Franco Bixio, Fabio Frizzi, and Vince Tempera, draws inspiration from the previous album's mood and quickly becomes a true cultural marker for the Fantozzi film phenomenon. It shrugs off the idea of simply reworking the previous year's score and quickly stands on its own two feet. Available on vinyl for the first time, this 50th anniversary edition features the period poster photo on the cover, depicting Paolo Villaggio as a lightning rod. The 12-inch crystal white vinyl is available in 400 exclusive copies, mastered by Claudio Fuiano, and graphic design by Daniele De Gemini.

Evolving through years of shared surroundings and creative exchange, the record emerges as a natural extension of that connection. Produced separately, the tracks document two distinct inner worlds shaped through proximity. Justine Perry leans into deep, hypnotic forms, while Paula Koski moves through dubby and spacious structures driven by texture. Across four sides, the record shifts between focused, forward-moving passages and more atmospheric moments, creating a subtle push and pull. Rather than settling into one singular moment on the dancefloor, it stretches across the shifting phases of a long club night. Timeless and elegant in its approach, Paired Works marks the debut release on Ostgut Ton for both artists.

$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 A sequel to 2011's communication from our future selves on The Spectacle of Light Abductions, this new endeavor by restless netherzone traveller Spencer Clark envisions a space map towards the other side of human life. A meditation on the paintings of Vedran Kopljar, these two side-long pieces, recorded and performed at Kopljar's exhibition at Muhka Museum in Antwerp in 2024, tap into the barren world inhabited by Clark while wandering what he calls the "Abomination Plateaus." Searching for meaning amidst the landscape, "Abyssfields" turns Clark's keyboards, sampler and wha pedals into sentient beings, roaming a luminous sound field of low-res percussion, glistening keys and mangled voice-like transmissions. Featuring Athens-based John Also Bennet on flute, "Abomination Plateaus" layered misty pads hover above a recurring driving-pinging loop, unlocking new harmonic specters throughout each passage, suspended in the light.

EIGHTEENTH DAY OF MAY, THE	The Eighteenth Day Of May (Gold Vinyl)	2LP	PLEXUS	PLEXUS 003G-LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Gold vinyl. Deluxe reissue of the sole album by The Eighteenth Day Of May. Beginning life as a trio in London, 2003, the original line-up consisted of Allison Brice (vocals, flute), Richard Olson (acoustic guitar) and Ben Phillipson (guitar, mandolin) before expanding the following year to include the rhythm section of Mark Nicholas (bass) and Karl Sabino (drums, autoharp) and finally Alison Cotton (viola). This being the mid zeros, the independent music scene in the UK was reluctant to embrace a sun-dazed folk band but this, their sole album, has gradually feathered a bed of affection amongst international folk fans. Twenty years on, the album is now rightfully seen as a trailblazer for the myriad alternative/psych folk bands that emerged in its wake. Andy Childs who signed the band originally takes up the story. "I first heard their music on a cover mounted CD with the much missed Comes With A Smile magazine and as far as I could tell no-one was making music like this anymore, certainly not with such panache and confidence. To my jaded ears it all sounded so uninhibited -- old weird folk songs, Americana, original psych-folk, minimalist drones. Great melodies and all six of them could sing! A joyous, unfettered sound that could in one moment conjure up flashes of The Byrds and then effortlessly the spirit of Velvet Underground would drift through. They even covered a Spacemen 3 song. I loved the fact that they had the aplomb to tackle traditional folk songs like 'Lady Margaret' and 'Flowers In The Forest' and not be afraid to stamp their own identity on them. Signing them to the Hannibal label was straightforward. If anything the album somehow sounds fresh and undated, even better than it did in the day when perhaps eclecticism was out of synch with the times; its subtleties have become more apparent."

JOSEPH AND MARCELO BRATKE, JULIAN	Imaginary Line	CD	RIVETATION RECORDS	RIV 006CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 This album presents four jazz composers (the classics of jazz) and four 20th Century classical composers (whose music contains a strong element of jazz) in a new and contemporary dialogue. From Thelonius Monk to Igor Stravinsky, pianists Julian Joseph and Marcelo Bratke initiate a series of imaginative exchanges be-tween the pre-established structures of classical music and the improvisation of jazz. The "imaginary line" is the line that divides these two apparently antagonistic worlds, but which in this case becomes a line of communication, bringing the worlds of jazz and classical closer together and allowing the listener to see the music as a unit. Marcelo has very bravely taken on the challenge of jazz with its many unique requirements and has put his trust in me to direct his vast training and considerable musical talent to create the feeling of Jazz. Julian performs for the Classical side of this project which was born out of a mutual admiration between the two musicians and early discussions about doing a Gershwin recording. The principles of Imaginary Line finding parallels between composers from each idiom and unifying them in a statement about 20th Century music and its commonality by revealing the expansive quality of the two musicians' musical choices and how that limitless influence spreads beyond neat categorization. Compositions by George Gershwin, Darius Milhaud, Frances Poulenc, Igor Stavinsky, Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Duke Ellington.

Whether or not you've heard Orcutt Shelley Miller, Comets On Fire, Tarnation, or the OSEES, this LP stands out like a life buoy (or, occasionally, a shark fin) in a sea of wax." --Tom Carter

OPEN SKY UNIT	Open Sky Unit (Standard Version)	LP	SDBAN	SDBAN 021LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 2026 repress. Sdban Records presents a reissue of the mythical Open Sky Unit (1974) by the eponymous jazz fusion group featuring Micheline and Jacques Pelzer, Steve Houben, Ron Wilson, Janot Buchem, and Michel Graillier. The album returns on vinyl, highlighting a pivotal moment in Belgian jazz history, where soul, funk, and free improvisation came together in a vibrant and family-driven project. Formed in the early 1970s as a homage to Dave Liebman's group Open Sky, Open Sky Unit grew out of informal jam sessions in Liège, Belgium, into a unique collective. One of the central figures was Jacques Pelzer, father of drummer and vocalist Micheline Pelzer, alongside his second cousin, saxophonist/flutist Steve Houben, bass player Janot Buchem, percussionist Michel Graillier and American pianist/composer Ron Wilson. Their 1974 debut album was released on the Duchesne classical music label, run by Pelzer's brother-in-law. The group's sound carefully balanced jazz and soul and was largely directed by Wilson, a Californian pianist and singer who settled in Liège and nearby Maastricht after his army service. Wilson composed the entire repertoire. Open Sky Unit was recorded live at Jazzland club in Liège, and the band made several short tours in Belgium and abroad (including Tunisia) until around 1975-1976, when Houben left for Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Although the original live recording from 1974 was not technically perfect, the group succeeded in capturing their heartfelt live energy. Years later, the album version of "Sunshine Star" found its way onto Funky Chicken (2014), the compilation that not only brought the track back into the spotlight but also marked the beginning of Sdban Records. Although the band never achieved a major international breakthrough, they were highly valued in progressive European jazz circles and later secured a place in anthologies such as Utopic Cities: Progressive Jazz in Belgium 1968-1979. The reissue of Open Sky Unit brings their music back into the spotlight and reaffirms their role as key figures in the Belgian jazz scene of the seventies.

SWAMI JOHN REIS	Navajo White	LP	SWAMI	SWA 171LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 "'Navajo White' is a color. It's the color of an off white, interior, house paint. Throughout his teens into adulthood, John Reis was as a house painter by trade. The soiled walls of evacuated apartments were his canvas. Here he would cover up the residue of life's stains with a fresh coat of the beige, human white-out that is Navajo White. Amongst the vacated, drywall chambers littered with the scant detritus of a fleeing existence is where this record began. It started as road noise, a repetitious hum of a fictional dialogue. A languageless, argument of noise that took shape as a disconnect between two people. They are both barricaded by an impenetrable surface tension that harbors the distortion of their prolonged isolation from the world beyond their self-imposed exile. For all that can't be solved or thrown away here's a thick coat of Navajo White to cover your tracks as if to say 'we were never here and this never happened.' This is the fifth Swami John Reis album and features Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72, Night Marchers) on drums as well as contributions from Rick Froberg (Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Obits) on guitar, Gar Wood (Hot Snakes, Tanner, Night Marchers) on bass, Joe Guevara (Jejune, Swami and the Bed Of Nails) on piano and keyboards and Rob Crow (Pinback, PLOSIVS) and Jacob Turnbloom (Mrs. Magician) on backing vocals. Taking musical cues from later period Wipers, the more low-key Saints songs, early recordings of The Church as well as The Damned on their Black Album, Navajo White pits sentiment vs the unsentimental. Recorded by John Reis at City of Refuge, San Diego with additional recording and mixing by Ben Moore at Singing Serpent and mastered by Dave Gardner at DSG Mastering. This record is dedicated to house painters everywhere."

I WILL DIE IN THIS JEAN JACKET	Hang From A Cloud	LP	SWAMI	SWA 172LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 "I Will Die In This Jean Jacket is a testimony of how the lines between commitment and attachments are often blurred. It is the new gloom-punk project from Jim Blaha (The Blind Shake, Green/Blue). Blaha has collaborated with luminaries including Michael Yonkers, John Reis, Shannon Selberg, Dale Flattum, and Zak Sally and has released records on Goner, Castle Face, Dirtnap, Hozac, Feel It, Slovenly and Swami. On Hang From A Cloud he concludes over three years of artistic solitude by heading back into the basement to create in an even deeper state of isolation. Formed in Minneapolis this past December, the late-night sessions gradually revealed a concept: capturing the feeling he had from the mixtapes a friend used to make during their teenage skateboarding years -- where late '70s post punk sat comfortably alongside the more exposed underground sounds of the '80s and '90s and every song seemed to come from the same hazy, imaginary city somewhere far, far away. Recording onto a 1/4" tape machine and mixing everything down to the all-important cassette, Blaha emerged with an indiffussable sound. Hang From A Cloud is a long-lost pirate radio transmission from an alternate 1980s universe. The album is entirely analog by design. Guitars, vocals, drums, drum machines and bass all captured on cobbled together equipment in a cinder block bunker on a frigid Midwest, winter night. There is a one-dimensional resonance with a sheen of distortion and rust that is betrayed by the direct and simplistic beauty of the songwriting. Hang From A Cloud is a no-fi, DIY treasure that transports the listener to a parallel dimension where The Go Betweens, The Clean, The Jesus And Mary Chain, New Order, Guided By Voices, and Flip Your Wig-era Hüsker Dü are cherished and celebrated the same."

VA	Barfuss in Scherben - Deutschpunk 1979-1986	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 620CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 To mark 50 years of punk, Ventil Verlag is publishing a song comic featuring outstanding tracks from the German punk scene. Tapete Records is accompanying this release with a compilation of early German-language punk, focusing on the years between 1979 and 1986 -- the years when the world was still coming to an end. With a total of 14 tracks, the compilation showcases just how exciting and diverse early German punk sounded. By the late seventies, punk had arrived in Germany, and more and more cities saw the emergence of bands, record stores, fanzines, labels, clubs, and scenes. Self-criticism followed close behind: as early as 1981, the liner notes to the compilation Paranoia in der Straßenbahn observed "negative tendencies" caused by punk's popularity and resulting dilution, and regarding 1983 they stated: "This year must be regarded as the end of the first great phase of punk in Germany. With few exceptions, fanzines, records, and concerts are no longer bringing anything new." Whether such sweeping criticism holds up in light of bands like Angeschissen, Die Goldenen Zitronen, EA80, or Mutter is another question, but this compilation nevertheless focuses on the early years of German-language punk. Featuring Der KFc, Fehlfarben, Östro 430, Slime, Rotzkotz, Bärchen und die Milchbubis, Brausepöter, Male, Schleim-Keim, S.Y.P.H., Hans-A-Plast, Torpedo Moskau, Der Moderne Man, and The Wirtschaftswunder.

WASSERMANN, UTE	chimeric	LP	THIN WRIST	TW-Z LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Few artists have expanded the possibilities of the voice as radically and masterfully as Berlin based voice artist, composer and improvisor Ute Wassermann. For her, the voice is an ecosystem: a living field of relationships between body, object, space, and the listener's ear. Her music moves between the transcendental and the quotidian at once -- breath as ritual, sound as touch, acoustic experience as something simultaneously otherworldly and utterly present. Dissolving the perceived boundaries between mind and body, she offers instead a full-bodied immersion in ever-changing stillness, an idiosyncratic engagement with sound that is all-at-once fierce, tender, and free. On her new album chimeric, Wassermann extends her voice with a wide array of implements; breath-driven drums, hydrophones used as throat microphones, bird whistles, jaw harps, brass megaphones. These objects don't just function as embellishments or demonstrations, but rather, as companions -- materials with which she communicates and is herself transformed. The result is a music in which the lines between self, object, and environment are constantly blurred, erased and redrawn. Across six pieces, Wassermann's voice moves with uncanny immediacy: lips smacked, gurgles roared, harmonic tails snapping through space. Recorded with a striking spatial presence -- using stereo microphone placement that allows sound to shift with the smallest movement -- the listener is placed almost between the ears of the performer, inside the throat's resonant chambers as it flickers from whisper to warning, from animal cry to sculptural multiphonic bloom. What emerges is not theatrical representation but embodiment: a confrontational tenderness, a call to arms meant for hugging. Steam valves and pistons of breath cycle into quick rhythmic stabs; ritual supplants noise, noise tilts into song. Wassermann reverses the trained control of the voice to discover empowerment in growls, screams, baby-animal whines, and undersea calls. These are song forms not as fixed structures, but as living organisms -- colorful tendrils of sound, improvisation as feedback between inner listening and the outside world. In the album's final movements, her voice becomes something both larger than a person and tinier: an army of intimacies, gnawing at the root, feeding. chimeric is an album teeming with vivid colors and transcendental beauty that reveals the voice as a truly limitless instrument.Deluxe LP housed pressed at Optimal, Germany housed in die-cut neon spot-color sleeve with spot UV gloss with two full color inserts and printed inner sleeve.

ORCUTT & MABE FRATTI, BILL	Almost Waking	CD	UNHEARD OF HOPE	UOH 021CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Delayed... "Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highly individual approach to improvisation. A co-founder of the 1990s noise-rock duo Harry Pussy, he helped shape a fiercely abrasive aesthetic that drew from no wave, hardcore punk, and free jazz. Often playing a four-string guitar in unconventional tunings, he combines shards of melody, sudden silences, and surging rhythmic bursts, creating music that feels both primitive and structurally intricate. In parallel with his work as a guitarist, he runs the Palilalia and Fake Estates imprints and develops his own audio software, continuing to blur lines between avant-garde experimentation, song form, and DIY practice. Almost Waking: 'I had known about Bill's music for a while: since his 2017 release under his own name. I connected a lot with his music and I had no idea that years later we would be collaborating! It was a total surprise that we started chatting on the internet of collaborating! We bounced ideas back and forth, all starting with a series of guitar solo stuff that Bill sent me.' Guitar by Bill Orcutt, Cello and vocals by Mabe Fratti, Except tracks 1,3,4 and 6 that were written by Bill Orcutt & Mabe Fratti with contributions on the cello arrangement by I.La Católica. Recorded at Tinho Studios in CDMX and in the Living Room in San Francisco. Mixed by Santiago Parra. Mastered by James Plotkin.

SEASON 2	Power Of Now	LP	UPSET THE RHYTHM	UTR 180LP
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Melbourne DIY/shimmer-pop 5-piece in the vein of the Feelies, the Vaselines, and the Clean. Limited pressing of 500 copies worldwide with printed inner sleeve and download card. Recorded by Alex Macfarlane and mastered by Mikey Young. Season 2 formed in late 2024, bringing together seasoned Melbourne musicians with previous and current projects including Parsnip, The Stroppies, and Phil and the Tiles. The five piece, comprising Carolyn Hawkins, Claudia Serfaty, Charlotte Zarb, Freya McLeod, and Matt Powell, quickly set to work writing winsome, DIY, shimmer-pop hits that careen through your mind in a gratifying dizzy rush. With a clear collective vision and little time to waste, Season 2 spent 2025 writing and recording, appearing live only a handful of times. Finally the band are primed for their debut release, a full-length album entitled Power of Now. Power of Now is a cerebral explosion of melody, hooks, drones and rhythm. In the vein of The Feelies, The Vaselines and The Clean, Season 2 have whipped up a sonic whirlwind. It's a giddy thrill of snappy slap, catchy gang vocals and crystalline guitar refrains. "Abundance of Power" is a bittersweet bop of ponderous bass, crisp chord flashes and grounded vocals that dwell on slighted futures and bored realities. "Becomes a Dream" is a delirious race of scrappy strumming and flying phrases that unsettle as much as they pinball endorphins. Season 2 do sparky well, their songs are instant rewards, tunnelling into your subconscious and testing the dance floor. They keep everything moving, the beat and the conversation. Season 2 sound barely controlled and all the better for it, you have no choice but to be swept up. Power of Now was recorded by Alex Macfarlane (The Green Child, Chateau) and mastered by Mikey Young.

CRAMPS, THE	Gravest Gravy	CD	VENGEANCE RECORDS	VEN 678CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 "In October 1977, the Cramps ventured into Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee with producer and Cramps translator extraordinaire, Alex Chilton. The band had planned on recording their song 'TV Set,' as an A side, along with another track or tracks. Mr. Chilton told them the way he liked to work was to have a band record a lot of songs and from that they would pick the best of the bunch. Luckily for Cramps fans everywhere, the band did just that. The first evidence of these sessions was unleashed upon an 'unsuspecting human world' in April 1978 on the band's own Vengeance Records label. It was a two song 7-inch with a version of the Trashmen's 1963 classic 'Surfin' Bird,' pushed well beyond its breaking point, forcing it to mutate into a much higher form of lowdown, and Jack Scott's 1959 cool burning 'The Way I Walk,' dragged back into the Stone Age. After one listen, it was clear the Cramps had absolutely tapped into rock 'n' roll's mainline. In November of the same year, and again from the October 1977 sessions came another two-song lesson in how it's done, or undone, with easily one of the greatest A sides of all time: 'Human Fly.' The B side was held hostage by 'Domino,' originally sung by Roy Orbison. The Cramps' version swaggers with infinite confidence and is an absolute thrill to listen to. In the summer of 1979, young degenerates in England were treated to a 12-inch by the Cramps called Gravest Hits, which featured not only the aforementioned four tracks, but also a fifth, again from the October 1977 sessions. This release features the legendary band's unreleased sessions with producer Alex Chilton from 1977. Liner Notes by Henry Rollins."

RAGINI TRIO	3	LP	W.E.R.F.	WERF 278LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026 Three musicians, three worlds: raga, jazz, and their own imagination. East, West, and the fusion in between. Rhythm, melody, and harmony. Past, present, and future. With 3, Ragini Trio experiences a rebirth -- after years of deep exploration into long-form ragas, South Indian Carnatic traditions, konnakkol, and Western jazz. Thirteen years after their debut, this album stands as an homage to both worlds. By refusing to play things "as they should be played," Ragini Trio finds the in-between space -- that magnetic tension where jazz and Indian classical music meet and transform each other. Inspired by the traditional Indian trio of tabla, flute, and tanpura, Ragini offers its mirrored jazz response: drums, saxophone, and double bass. The result unites jazz, which seeks freedom within structure, with raga, which seeks structure within freedom. Far from purism or imitation, Ragini Trio crafts a living dialogue between rhythm, melody, and tone color. And it's a statement. Bursting with energy, depth, and self-irony, 3 is a vibrant antidote to the algorithmic recycle-music of today and tomorrow -- born from the chemistry of three exceptional artists: saxophonist Nathan Daems, drummer Lander Gyselinck, and double bassist Marco Bardoscia.

It's here now with the previously unreleased track "POLYGON DREAMSCAPE" (which sounds as magical as its title) and 45rpm cut for louder, bigger, deeper bass rumbling. Spellbinding, atmospheric, and beautifully melodic, Level Select is a large scope dreamy adventure of liquid DnB filled with ambient escapades, ethereal jungle, high vibe breaks, and a heavy loving dose of late '90s/early 2000s video game influences. Hypnotic late-night hype and pensive chill moods mesh with ease in a cinematic soundscape that re-contextualizes and gives a new life to a beloved music genre -- LTJ Bukem, Peshay, the Wipeout OST or Soichi Terada's Ape Escape come to mind, and sounds and soundtracks from the Sony Playstation, the Nintendo 64, and the Sega Saturn resonate from the speakers.

$54.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/24/2026 LP version. Audiophile collector's edition. Transparent vinyl. Wondrously uninhibited, and liberated from the added pressure of either a studio or a planned live recording, there is true magic, sparkling energy, and no lowering of intensity in this never-before-released unearthed gem. The night before Ella Fitzgerald walked into Konserthuset in Stockholm and recorded what became The Stockholm Concert, 1966, the Pablo Records live album now considered among the essential documents of her late career, she played two concerts at Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen. Like many other Black American jazz musicians of her era, Denmark felt like home to Ella. It was a country where they found a degree of respect that the United States too often denied them. Ella's ease in her adopted home was palpable when she walked onto the Falkoner Theatre stage that Sunday. And, now the results are released on record for the first time, and with the full blessing of Ella's estate, listeners are treated to an irrepressible, unexpectedly vital addition to her canon.

This '90s masterpiece hasn't been available on picture disc since its original release and is a must for fans and collectors around the world."

F.S.K. (FREIWILLIGE SELBSTKONTROLLE)	Ca c'est le Blues	LP	A-MUSIK	A 043LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Following the first two singles by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle from 1980 and 1981, as well as their debut LP Stürmer and the 1982 EP Magic Moments, a-Musik is now releasing Ça c'est le Blues, another of their early works, all of which were released on Alfred Hilsberg's legendary Zickzack label and have long since become rarities. Ça c'est le Blues was originally released in 1984 and marks nothing less than a milestone in F.S.K.'s already impressive discography. While numerous bands from the West German underground of the early 1980s, following the Summer of Pop of 1982 and the associated breakthrough of the Neue Deutsche Welle, either moved toward the mainstream or began singing in English, Justin Hoffmann, Thomas Meinecke, Michaela Melián, and Wilfried Petzi took a different path. The songs became more elaborate, the production -- influenced by bands like Gang of Four and Dexys Midnight Runners -- more opulent, and the instrumentation now included wind instruments for the first time, which have since become an integral part of F.S.K.'s sound. At the same time, the Munich-based band's music-historically motivated focus was directed more toward the US than was typical of the bands in the West German scene of that era. To their signature blend of post-punk and experimental music, as already evident on Stürmer, they now incorporated funk (on the opener "Faire Le Chicken") and jazz (on the heartbreaking cover version of "My Funny Valentine"). From then on, this "transatlantic feedback" was an essential component of F.S.K.'s musical practice. The discursive twists and turns, the incorporation of references, and the insistence on German lyrics would influence bands in the coming decades, not just those of the "Hamburg School." At the same time, the album features legendary hits by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle which are still played at every concert to this day. With this reissue of Ça c'est le Blues, one of the most impressive releases in 20th-century German avant-pop history is finally available again. The reissue includes a comprehensive booklet featuring an in-depth interview about the album with all band members, as well as numerous previously unpublished photos.

TRULY	Twilight Curtains	LP	BANG! RECORDS	BANG 191LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 First time ever on vinyl, Twilight Curtains presents a long-overlooked chapter in the legacy of Truly, the acclaimed Seattle band formed by songwriter Robert Roth alongside Hiro Yamamoto, co-founder of Soundgarden, and Mark Pickerel, founding drummer of Screaming Trees. Originally released in 2000 as a CD-only collection, Twilight Curtains gathers rare, unreleased and alternate recordings captured between 1991 and 1997, documenting the band during its most creative and exploratory period. More than simply another Seattle group, Truly forged a singular sound that blended heavy psychedelic rock, grunge-era intensity, damaged pop and expansive melodic textures. Featuring the contributions of three key figures from the Pacific Northwest underground, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the band's evolution through alternate versions, lost recordings and previously unavailable material. Twilight Curtains finally makes this missing piece of the Truly catalogue available on vinyl.

BLIND YEO	The Lemoine Point	LP	BONGO JOE RECORDS	BJR 122LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 LP version. Based in Cornwall, Blind Yeo emerged from the isolation of lockdown. Built as an open collective, the project brings together musicians, visual artists and performers, developing a practice rooted in improvisation, live energy and shared creation. The Lemoine Point, their debut album, was recorded on a disused airfield near St Agnes. The title refers to a hidden geometric center where lines converge, a metaphor that runs through the record as past, present and future meet within a single moment. Much of the album was captured live by a core ensemble including Sam Pert, Phil Self, Henry Greenham, Philippa Blum, Jake Sheridan, Will Greenham, and Anouska Helm. These recordings are balanced by more intimate sessions, shaping a sound that moves between reworked folk traditions, electronic textures and raw, organic energy. Across the album, fragments of stories and emotions intertwine, exploring themes of love, duality and disorientation in time. Rooted in the Cornish landscape yet open in form, The Lemoine Point unfolds as a space where place, people and memory converge into a fluid and immersive whole.

CITIES AVIV	Even Colder Spring	LP	BLACK TRUFFLE	BT 145LP
$39.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Black Truffle presents Even Colder Spring, the latest release from the mysterious and wildly prolific Cities Aviv (a.k.a. Wilbert Gavin Mays, who also records as African-American Sound Recordings), a rare appearance from the artist outside his own D.O.T. Audio Arts label. For over a decade, Cities Aviv has twisted hip-hop conventions into the most skewed and splayed forms, layering and lacerating twitching loops, extreme production techniques and his mercurial vocal stylings into hermetic décollage. Across 16 tracks, Even Colder Spring charts Mays' restlessly experimental approach: what sound like fully formed productions are interrupted suddenly after seconds; interjections of field recordings cue unexpected shifts; details drown under layers of fuzz. His vocal delivery takes in rhythmically intricate rap, barely articulate murmurs and freely melodic song, the latter often with a disorientating lack of connection to the track's harmonies. The lyrical shifts are as paratactical as the musical movements. Apocalyptic visions of social and cultural uniformity alternate with reflections on mortality, glimpses of everyday life and head-scratching one-liners: "Maybe Mars is bougie?" His reference points are as surprising as ever, the Dante quotes of previous releases joined here by a tracked named after Henri Bergson's idea of the élan vital. Australian listeners, in particular, might be especially taken aback to hear "Closing Door" open with the phrase "the tyranny of distance." While Mays' work can sometimes be claustrophobically bleak, the productions here are often sparkling, at times touching on the shimmer of private-issue New Age sounds and the more playful end of krautrock. The instrumental "Martine Drift" could almost be a snatch of Cluster's Zuckerzeit caught through dial-up internet. The distant echoing drums of "L_area" cross Persona's Som with lo-fi IDM, while closer "Final Heaven" dissolves a cloud of loops across almost seven minutes into ecstatic, rippling distortion. The graphic design, at the artist's request closely modelled on the format of Corwood Industries, offers as good a clue as any to what awaits the listener on Even Colder Spring: a world at once impossibly opaque and intensely personal.

BEAR BONES/LAY LOW/LASLO UMBREIT	Tales from the Source	LP	DISCREPANT	CREP 123LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Discrepant presents the LP edition of Tales from the Source, the original film soundtrack by Bear Bones, Lay Low, and Laszlo Umbreit. Originally composed for Belgian-Congolese artist Léonard Pongo's 2024 film of the same name, this release reworks the film's audio into a continuous, fluid listening experience. The album is built on a direct contrast between heavy electronic manipulation and raw environmental audio. Laszlo Umbreit captured the foundation of the record through field recordings and additional electronics, focusing on the quiet, tactile sounds of water, riverbeds, and natural spaces. These recordings were then processed and expanded by Bear Bones, Lay Low, who layered the tracks using synthesizers, samplers and various effects processors. Rather than acting as a standard background score, the music functions as a detailed piece of environmental sound art. The tracks are edited to blend into one another without distinct gaps, mirroring the slow pace and visual flow of the film. Through the use of tape loops, filtering, and electronic processing, the natural landscapes are systematically distorted and rearranged. The result is a dark, slow-moving suite of electroacoustic music that strips away traditional melody to focus entirely on texture, resonance, and the changing dynamics of the recorded environments.

FAUN FABLES	The Transit Rider	2LP	DRAG CITY	DC 314LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 "Arriving right on time for its 20th anniversary, Faun Fables' musical theater work The Transit Rider returns in a lovely 2LP vinyl edition that dimensionally burnishes the bristling performances and elevated chamber/cabaret folk sounds of the original CD-only release. At once a work of theatre, allegory and autobiography, The Transit Rider amplifies Faun Fables' distinctive electroacoustic wash of Anglo-European folk sounds, shimmering allusively from traditional to Kurt Weill to folk-rock and back again. The route that led to The Transit Rider goes back even further than 2006; it was first embarked upon in the early '90s, when Dawn McCarthy moved to NYC and was introduced to the transient and constant glories of its subway system, a massive world unto itself. As she rode the trains, the subterranean, singing landscape suggested a journey in song: a rider aboard a ubiquitous transit system, a network of rails, roads, corridors and trails extending in all directions, meeting itself again on the far side of the world. Upon this endless circuitous path, she encounters characters that may or may not help her search to find a clearing amid this mass of machinery and humanity in which to stop and have a picnic. In 2001, The Transit Rider took the form of a full-length theater production in San Francisco, with a cast of thirteen aided by the inspiring work of director/lighting designer Allen Willner. Its music was further developed/recorded/adapted into a touring show by Dawn and her stalwart co-conspirator Nils Frykdahl, joined by multi-instrumentalists Jenya Chernoff and Matt Lebofsky. The album features contributions by Dawn's mother Michelina Tyrie and father Will McCarthy, with thematically related songs by Zygmunt Konieczny, Soeur Sourire, and the Anglo Saxon traditional 'House Carpenter' added to the mix. For the LP release, the artwork has been revamped, featuring previously unseen photos of the original stage show and the touring cast that followed. As with all Faun Fables music, the sweep of history and the voices of the people thrillingly coincide in the songs and singing of The Transit Rider. The project's conceptual/theatrical properties give it a special pride of place in Faun Fables lore. Fortunately, all capricious mists of time have parted just in time for The Transit Rider's 20th anniversary celebration. The Transit Rider combines Faun Fables' distinctive song-telling style with their full-hearted/throated thespian energies, rumbling trippily past flashing lights and strangers in thirteen exquisite folk-cabaret urban anthems, a pungent masterpiece of 21st century folk rock."

CAPTAIN MARRYAT	Captain Marryat	LP	GUERSSEN RECORDS	GUESS 290LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Privately pressed in Scotland in 1974, Captain Marryat is one of the great lost rarities of British progressive hard-rock. Issued in an edition of just 150-200 copies on the band's own Thor label and sold only at gigs, the album disappeared almost immediately, later becoming one of the rarest and most sought-after private press LPs of the era. Named after 19th-century novelist and seafarer Captain Frederick Marryat, the Glaswegian band evolved from a hard-rock trio into a five-piece featuring Tommy Hendry (vocals), Ian McEleny (guitar), Allan Bryce (organ), Hugh Finnegan (bass) and Jimmy Rorrison (drums). Originally planning to record only a single, they found themselves with enough studio time to capture a full album, recording five original songs before closing the session with the improvised instrumental "Dance Of Thor." Deeply inspired by the organ-driven power of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Beggars Opera, Captain Marryat played a powerful blend of progressive rock and heavy psych. Dominated by thunderous Hammond organ, raw guitar solos and strong melodic vocals, the album ranges from the dramatic opener "Blindness" to the epic eight-minute "It Happened To Me," the more accessible "Changes," and the explosive instrumental finale "Dance Of Thor." Although the band built a solid reputation on the Scottish pub circuit, the lack of label interest brought their career to an end in 1975. Their sole album, however, has only grown in stature, earning cult status among collectors and fans of early-'70s progressive heavy rock. Featuring remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes, photos, and download card.

DAMON	Song of a Gypsy	LP	GUERSSEN RECORDS	GUESS 291LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Released as a private pressing in 1968, Song Of A Gypsy has grown from an obscure self-released album into one of the most coveted psychedelic records ever made. Revered by collectors as the "Holy Grail" of psych, original copies now command thousands of dollars -- but its legendary status rests not on rarity alone. The music remains as captivating today as it was over half a century ago. A singular blend of psychedelic rock, Eastern influences and mystical songwriting, Song Of A Gypsy weaves floating Arabic melodies, finger cymbals, hand percussion, shimmering fuzz guitar and Damon's unmistakable, haunting vocals into a deeply spiritual listening experience. Its songs explore love, loss and the search for meaning with a sincerity that continues to amaze. Behind the music was David del Conte, better known as Damon The Gypsy. After performing around Southern California in the early 1960s, personal struggles led him to abandon the club circuit in search of a different path. Settling in Big Sur, his life took an unexpected turn when an impromptu encounter and jam session with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar inspired the distinctive five-string guitar tuning and Eastern-tinged sound that became the foundation of Song Of A Gypsy. Recorded with guitarist Charlie Carey and a small circle of friends, the album was privately issued on Damon's own Ankh label in an edition believed to total of a few hundred copies across two sleeve variations (single white cover and black gatefold leather textured). With virtually no promotion or distribution, most copies were simply given to friends and family. Decades later, the record was rediscovered by legendary collectors Veronica Breth and Paul Major, sparking a worldwide cult following. Its growing reputation eventually led to acclaimed reissues by Shadoks in 1998, Guerssen Records in 2005 and Now-Again in 2010. Damon himself remained humbled by the album's remarkable journey, calling its success "a mystery" after years of obscurity. Damon passed away in 2016, but Song Of A Gypsy endures as a timeless masterpiece, one of the most extraordinary and original recordings of the psychedelic era. Featuring original artwork (single white cover variant) and remastered sound with pitch corrected. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

OLSVANGER	Honey Tangerine	LP	OATH	OATH 030LP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Oath presents Honey Tangerine, the newest mini-album from producer extraordinaire Olsvangèr, who serves up his signature blend of hyper-kinetic, ever-shifting dance music. Olsvangèr's sound and musical journey are forever rooted in the liminal spaces that make up the broad-reaching and ever-shifting electronic music landscape, with his records consistently channeling that in-betweenness that imprints lasting impressions. A classically trained musician with a profound passion for house and techno, Olsvangèr's sonic palette is one of both broad and delicate brush strokes, applying an array of compelling motifs within amorphous arrangements that blend and blur perspectives. His records seek out the faraway fringes as much as focusing on the intensity found in the detail, creating cavernous soundscapes that are impeccably tuned and effortlessly free-flowing. Seemingly genreless, his records are anchored in all that is known and loved, yet due to the music's perspective situated at the intersectionality of electronica, a beautiful anticipation resides within every stanza of his tracks at what may come next. Honey Tangerine touches upon the classic motifs of Olsvangèr's sound, and as always, the room for growth within the record's parameters remains truly endless. Over six tracks, Olsvangèr lays bare the directions of travel, with paths unravelling that feel well-trodden yet with some that branch out towards new horizons. Whether softly undulating or boundlessly expressive, Olsvangèr's music remains a beautiful enigma that serves up both the glorious knowns and the captivating unknowns -- Honey Tangerine is yet another chapter in his glorious discography.

FREUND, KEITH	Window Left Open	LP	SODA GONG	SODA 019LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Keith Freund's music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On Window Left Open, spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone lines rise above buzzing circuitry, percussion flickers at the edges of the frame, and clustered glitch textures dart through the music like insects in tall summer grass. Every sound feels vividly animated, a charged part of the same mercurial ecosystem. Freund's talent lies in balancing warmth and unpredictability with remarkable ease. Patient motifs recall the exploratory spirit of early folktronica, while bit-reduced textures, degraded loops, and idiosyncratic synthesis techniques continually reshape the terrain beneath them. Rather than treating acoustic and electronic elements as opposing forces, Freund allows them to intermingle until distinctions dissolve, creating compositions that reward close listening while retaining immediate warmth. This record finds Freund working with a fully formed vocabulary that is truly his own, transforming glitch, melody, improvisation, and atmosphere into songs that are both fundamentally curious and disarmingly engaging.

STARTER CAR	Afterlight	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 613CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 "Bandmates Wanted" posters may be old school, but when songwriter Oisean Burnett moved to London from Glasgow in 2024 the homemade approach was what worked. Fast forward to now and Starter Car have established themselves as darlings of the South London music scene with their unique brand of country-influenced indie. Now comes the release of their debut album, Afterlight, a hooky collection reflecting on life's beauty and struggles. Recorded and produced by Joe Futák (lilo, Piglet, Baggio), the album's sound grew organically through the core band plus collaboration with fellow scenesters, including vocals from Christie Gardner (lilo), fiddle from Sophia Bartlett (Tugboat Captain) and banjo from Michael Rhea (Symbol Soup). The result is a warm and nostalgic sonic world, clearly a natural progression from Burnett's childhood surrounded by Sparklehorse, Sufjan Stevens, and Wilco. Despite this glow of familial comfort, Afterlight doesn't shy away from dark themes of anxiety, death and drugs. "If you're experiencing a little discomfort while writing something, it's probably good," says Burnett. "Music has that ability to elevate the cringey into something meaningful and pretty." Throughout the album, songs born of introspection unfold with lush harmonies offering hope and a contrast to moments where Burnett's vocals are honest and exposed. Opening track and lead single "Throwing Down" is a blunt examination of spiraling out when you find yourself alone for the weekend. The recklessness of going out drinking is anchored by steady drums and laid-back licks akin to MJ Lenderman, with Burnett singing "I drink double when I'm not around you." This reflective approach continues in "Avert," which addresses the feeling of not wanting to socialize, before the high-octane "Safety Net" captures Sparklehorse's driven side and references the late Mark Linkous. Death is covered again in "Watered Down," a loving reflection of Burnett's grandfather following both grandparents' passings in a short period. Burnett's father Seori sings backing vocals on the track, while a melancholic backdrop is set by interwoven fiddle and guitar. The album wraps with "Kicking," a barnstorming rallying cry for forward movement in the face of life's obstacles. There's a raw, driving energy, with cranked guitars nodding to Teenage Fanclub and a rousing fiddle solo by Sophia Bartlett. Afterlight is sticking your head out the car window: exhilarating but breath-taking. It's the cusp of anxiety and excitement, the nauseating sense of something beautiful coming.

STARTER CAR	Afterlight	LP	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 613LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 LP version. "Bandmates Wanted" posters may be old school, but when songwriter Oisean Burnett moved to London from Glasgow in 2024 the homemade approach was what worked. Fast forward to now and Starter Car have established themselves as darlings of the South London music scene with their unique brand of country-influenced indie. Now comes the release of their debut album, Afterlight, a hooky collection reflecting on life's beauty and struggles. Recorded and produced by Joe Futák (lilo, Piglet, Baggio), the album's sound grew organically through the core band plus collaboration with fellow scenesters, including vocals from Christie Gardner (lilo), fiddle from Sophia Bartlett (Tugboat Captain) and banjo from Michael Rhea (Symbol Soup). The result is a warm and nostalgic sonic world, clearly a natural progression from Burnett's childhood surrounded by Sparklehorse, Sufjan Stevens, and Wilco. Despite this glow of familial comfort, Afterlight doesn't shy away from dark themes of anxiety, death and drugs. "If you're experiencing a little discomfort while writing something, it's probably good," says Burnett. "Music has that ability to elevate the cringey into something meaningful and pretty." Throughout the album, songs born of introspection unfold with lush harmonies offering hope and a contrast to moments where Burnett's vocals are honest and exposed. Opening track and lead single "Throwing Down" is a blunt examination of spiraling out when you find yourself alone for the weekend. The recklessness of going out drinking is anchored by steady drums and laid-back licks akin to MJ Lenderman, with Burnett singing "I drink double when I'm not around you." This reflective approach continues in "Avert," which addresses the feeling of not wanting to socialize, before the high-octane "Safety Net" captures Sparklehorse's driven side and references the late Mark Linkous. Death is covered again in "Watered Down," a loving reflection of Burnett's grandfather following both grandparents' passings in a short period. Burnett's father Seori sings backing vocals on the track, while a melancholic backdrop is set by interwoven fiddle and guitar.

HANSEN, JUAN	Ultrasonido	LP	ULTRASONIDO	US 001LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026 Argentinian artist Juan Hansen presents his debut album Ultrasonido; twelve tracks spanning indie dance, tech house, and soft melodic house, released on his own newly founded label Ultrasonido. After his breakthrough Boiler Room appearance in 2019, Juan has been on a relentless quest to push the boundaries, playing major stages around the globe, becoming one of the figureheads of the Argentinian electronic music world. As an exceptional live artist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Juan brings a real sense of groove to the stage, merging two worlds effortlessly: deeply emotional songwriting and direct, dancefloor-focused club tracks. Ultrasonido brings both sides together. The album is a clear evolution of Juan Hansen, presenting a wider range of his sound, which he also presents in his live performances. A journey through the musical world of Juan Hansen. Across twelve tracks, with contributions from Clér Letiv, Santi Portillo, Franco BA, Rocio Giorgi, Miko Franconi, Brigado Crew, and Marley Waters, Juan shifts between club-focused tracks and more intimate, song-driven moments, moving naturally between Spanish and English. It's a debut album that captures both his roots and the direction he's evolving toward. Juan Hansen's story doesn't start on the dancefloor, it starts with acoustic instruments. He built his foundation in the indie and rock scenes of Argentina before crossing into electronic music, a journey that's still audible in every track he makes. After years of building his profile with live performances, mesmerizing audiences from Cosquín Rock and Ultra in Argentina to Watergate in Berlin, Burning Man in the Nevada desert, and Grand Factory in Beirut. His search is real and visceral; a search for the different, mixing genres without prejudice, with a seriously playful attitude. Positioned within a new generation of artists dedicated to improvising on stage, Juan fuses electronic sounds with analog instruments and organic soundscapes. There's no genre cage. Ultrasonido is his debut album and the launch of his own label, also named Ultrasonido.

FLYING HATS, THE	Ups	CD	ATA RECORDS	ATA 046CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 They say you've got to take your ups with your downs, but that's only because "they" haven't heard Ups, the second LP by The Flying Hats, which is all ups and no downs whatsoever. The album arrives little more than a year after debut long player The Return of the Flying Hats and mere months after the release of an instant classic 45 single featuring non-album tracks "The Blender" and "Hot Cakes." So it's fair to say that Ups finds the band riding the crest of an extremely funky Hammond-infused retro-reggae wave. Indeed, it's tempting to say not just "riding the crest of" but "increasing said wave's actual mass" -- for the new set delivers a second floor-shaking helping of a sound that joins the dots between Aggrovators-style reggae and Meters-style funk. Opener "Lightning Bottle" kicks off with an introductory drum-fill that briefly nods to a certain Dawn Penn classic before settling into a heavy, mid-tempo, Hammond-led riddim providing instant appeal for those who lean more towards the Bunny Lee/'70s side of things. The same can be said of a trio of easy-rolling bubblers consisting of "Pinball" -- a brisk number near the start of the album's second half -- along with the wistful beauty of "So Long" and "Step Up," which close the album. Those who prefer reggae that evokes the Kingston "Sound of '69," however, will salivate over the balance of tracks which deliver no fewer than five such cuts tempered with a fat slice of New Orleans sass, reveling in deliriously joyful Hammond melodies and funky backbeats, while maintaining that offbeat reggae rhythm. "Kick About," "Double Up," and "Market Day" provide up-tempo bounce, while the clattery syncopated drums on the stripped-back skank of "Stout" and the absolutely gorgeous Hammond-funky/ boss-reggae groove of "Traffic Light" provide something a little more loose-limbed. If Allen Toussaint and The Meters had upped sticks and relocated to Kingston (or Bunny Lee and Jackie Mittoo had moved to the Big Easy) in the early '70s, it would have sounded like this.

HATCHBACK	Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon	2LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 201LP
$47.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 It is virtually impossible to describe with mere words how emotionally powerful this work of art is. Just listen. A blissed-out 80-minute epic, Hatchback's Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is his magnum opus, a sprawling masterwork that encompasses ambient, new age and environmental music to wondrous effect. Moving, hypnotic and deeply meditative, it's FFO Mike Brooks, Deuter, Klaus Weiss, Innovative Communication, Harmonia, Cluster, Ashra's New Age of Earth, Stomu Yamashta, Haruka Nakamura, Yoshimura, Hosono, the works. A record truly deserving of the deluxe Be With treatment, the vinyl was specially cut at Abbey Road Studios whilst the original stunning artwork has been pleasingly expanded. Now, an eye-catching holographic-foil layer moon is set against the original tones, wrapped up in a sumptuous double-gatefold jacket. Soaked in Californian consciousness and limited to a run of just 500 copies for the world, this release is a treasured balm like no other for these troubled times. Hatchback is the atmospheric, melodious ambient alias of California-based artist Samuel Milton Grawe. Sam creates music that sings of the Cosmos, full of deep resonant tones, glistening arpeggios, lush pads and harmonic motifs. "When I first was getting into the creative side of music making in my teens, I was heavily influenced by concept albums like Quadrophenia and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, as well as epic pieces that took up an entire side of a record: Pink Floyd's 'Echoes', Yes' 'Close To The Edge,' Klaus Schulze's 'Nowhere Now Here,' Miles Davis' 'Shhh/Peaceful' and 'He Loved Him Madly.' In the extreme, these ideas coalesced in double albums where each side of each record is occupied by a single title -- Yes' 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' and Tangerine Dream's 'Zeit' being primary examples. When I returned to making music after moving back to Northern California in 2020, the first piece I recorded landed around the 20-minute mark, and the idea of creating three other long pieces to realize a full album felt like a natural -- if indulgent -- goal. From there, each new piece followed sequentially. Four songs. My fourth album.' Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is a pure expression, informed by a lifetime of deep listening unbound by algorithms or AI. These are songs for the sunrise and the sunset -- and every color in between.

BUITRES	Nido de Espinas	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	DMR 001LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Nido de Espinas is the fourteenth studio album by Buitres. Uruguayan punk rock band formed in 1989, heirs to the legacy of the iconic post punk band Los Estómagos. It began to be composed in 2022 and was recorded in early 2024. The texts are inspired by the Diary of a Desperate Heart, an arbitrary overflow of feelings written disorderedly with an improvised rein, which demanded exhaustive work from the band to reach maximum expression in each track. Artistic production was handled by Ale Vázquez (Spinetta, Intoxicados, and more) and Sebastián Teysera (La Vela Puerca), who landed the runaway chariot set on fire. Buitres formed in late 1989, following the dissolution of the group Los Estómagos, a band that sparked a new era of Uruguayan rock in 1983. José "Pepe" Rambao, a close friend since childhood, joined the Parodi-Peluffo duo. Buitres has toured extensively throughout the entire Uruguayan territory and has participated in massive international shows both in Uruguay and abroad. Additionally, they have completed six tours across Spain, where the album En la Vuelta was released. Their discography features 14 studio albums. They have released three live albums, two documentary DVDs, and three live DVDs. Three books have been published about the band. The band has received numerous acolytes and awards, but most importantly, after more than thirty years, they continue to maintain a close and emotional relationship with their audience -- one that has endured throughout their history and grows over time. For this reason, the band dedicates their absolute best effort to every new work and every performance Nido de Espinas is their new studio album. These are wild and excessive times. Perhaps this statement applies to our life history just as it did to ordinary people in bygone eras. However, we assimilate the changes, adapt, and move forward. Nothing new under the sun. We grew up assuming static realities without trying to understand that they were newborn and would not last forever. The "forever" was declining into premature obsolescence. Every accessory is fleeting in the dizzying change of language.

LEWIS, KLARA	Opening	LP	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 325LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Klara Lewis' distinctive talent for disfiguring sound into forms that remain recognizably song-like reaches a new peak here. Her new album Opening is a deceptive recording with veiled melodies and clandestine bangers. Lewis, creator of worlds, treats music as a mirror that reflects a perspective misaligned with the real image. Her music moves in unusual and often startling ways. Acoustic instruments such as ukulele and piano are subjected to processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, their original forms continually reshaped. The tracks within Opening offer an array of disorientating tactics; damaged field recordings are suddenly sliced into ominous rhythmical patterns whilst deceptively simple tactics provide foreboding dread. Often alien on entry, the progression of a piece can land in a surprising tenderness, or the other way around. The momentum grows as a physical state but also one which is questioning, desiring, encapsulating a feeling, to explore a further way of expression and ultimately connecting: A new closeness, a new perspective. Opening is an album in which the protagonist's manipulation of sonic matter seems to extend beyond the music itself, resulting in a corresponding manipulation of the active listener. Sounds shift, dissolve, and re-emerge in altered forms, creating an experience that feels both intimate and disorienting. Lewis maintains a delicate balance between abstraction and emotional immediacy, drawing the listener into a world where familiar musical gestures are constantly reconfigured in surprising ways. The works on Opening are refracted through an exploratory and transformative lens, suggesting an artist continuing to redefine the possibilities of musical language as a space where the instantaneous and the eternal come together. Music by Klara Lewis. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Cut by Andreas Kauffelt at Schnittstelle, Berlin. Artwork by Klara Lewis.

EDENA GARDENS	Quintessence	CD	EL PARAISO RECORDS	EPR 085CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Edena Gardens unleash their most expansive work to date. Quintessence is structured in four parts as a Magnum Opus -- the ancient alchemical process of transformation. But this is not a work of high fantasy. It is a seismic meditation. A study of deep time, weighted matter, and the crushing gravity of change. Quintessence is massive. 79+ minutes of tethered magnitude, carved into six sprawling tracks. The trio pushes further down into the void, discovering new dimensions. Each piece allows the form to stretch. To break its own boundaries. Shifting terrains and unpredictable geometry. The core remains unhurried: A slow, relentless, unabridged crawl. This sort of alchemy demands patience, allowing every sonic mutation to breathe, shift, and solidify in a new atmosphere. Recorded by Jonas Munk (Causa Sui), the sound is rooted in a natural, anchored production, as if the band is right in front of you: Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt drives the pulse and adds ghostly, sparse treatment to the mix. Nicklas Sørensen (Papir) weaves angular guitar geometry over the deep sediment of Martin Rude's bass and baritone strings. Martin also supplies the original artwork, spreading across four panels colored by Jakob Skøtt: A work in its own right. The final work is a massive, physical expanse: Their Quintessence.

LENS, AMELIE	Aura	2LP	EXHALE	EXH 022LP
$48.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Limited-edition sunburst color vinyl, housed in gatefold jacket with UV spot varnish with printed innersleeves and exterior screen-printed PVC bag. Amelie Lens' debut album Aura is the first full-length studio album to come from the Belgian artist despite being one of the most respected and sought-after acts in electronic music today. Of the album, Amelie says: "Aura is my story. Aura is about the connection between the crowd and me. Music has always been my escape, my way of turning my emotions and energy into something new. When I was younger, I would disappear into nightclubs and create my own world in my head. Being in the nightclubs gave me this feeling of belonging somewhere, I felt connection and freedom I had never experienced before. That feeling changed my life completely. So this album really reflects that whole journey. From playing tiny local clubs and driving myself through the night for gigs, to standing on huge festival stages, becoming a mother, building EXHALE and learning how to balance it all in life. I wanted Aura to feel emotional but still powerful, uplifting but raw. From big festival tracks to the trippy tracks I'd play at 4am at RSO. Although making this album is one of the biggest things I have ever done in my life, I wanted to keep it light and somehow playful. Because that is also how I am as a person. This is the most honest version of myself I've ever shared. I hope it brings some light, happiness and connection to others as it does to me. Because Aura is and always will be about my connection to you." The album consists of 11 brand new tracks, all produced by Lens.

CATHOLICS AGAINST ARCHITECTURE	Columns	CD	FOURTH DIMENSION	FD 169CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Catholics Against Architecture is the name Chris Connelly has given this project that here collects twelve songs crafted from sonic collages, spoken word, fractured melodies, vocals not far removed from those that David Bowie traded some of his best songs on, rivulets of subdued noise and seemingly random location recordings, tender guitar work, tape manipulation and all kinds of other sounds either in between or beyond. Together, these compositions sit outside convention and pay little regard to whatever the so-called zeitgeist may or may not happen to be. If anything, they draw from his own wonderfully rich past, beginning with his co-founding of avant-garde post-punk outfit Finitribe and moving on through his involvement with Revolting Cocks and various other Al Jourgensen-helmed groups before joining Martin Atkins' ambitious Pigface project and then more or less operating as an artist under his own name. In the decades since he began his artistic career in the early '80s, he has maintained this experimental disposition while embracing everything from art-pop and rock to the industrial noise he first cut his teeth on. To place him in a comfortable box would do nothing but serve his defiant temperament some kind of injustice. Columns is no exception. It's an album that incorporates many ideas and keeps moving while still somehow magically adding up to a whole that gels and seems to make perfect sense. From its occasionally lo-fi stature (due to being recorded on antiquated reel to reel and various cassette players in a state of disrepair) to its jittery blend of free jazz, tone poetry, labyrinthine textural currents and found sounds, passages of hiss and mature songcraft, it points to an artist perfectly at ease with his position as somebody capable of juggling many ideas. Thematically bound to an anti-religion stance which makes sense in these especially turbulent times where rampant polarization is galvanized by religion as well as politics, Columns stands as a testament to something that can never be compounded enough. The title itself, replete with ironic quotation marks, subtly refers to the columns found within churches as well as the columns of smoke generated by religious war. Ultimately, the album witnesses an artist continuing to explore new trajectories, further prod at ideas that perhaps already presented themselves, and remain true to his place as someone far more than the sum of his parts.

CHAT PILE	Who Loves The Sun	CD	THE FLENSER	FLENSER 200CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 "In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band's formation, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap'n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic. Whereas their debut album God's Country depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up Cool World showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, Who Loves The Sun peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse. As with much of Chat Pile's work, Oklahoma City itself looms over the album like a character, its sprawling isolation, economic contradictions, and underlying sense of decay embedded in the fabric of the record. The perfect allegory for the thematic essence of Who Loves The Sun is the photo embossed on the record's cover, where Devon Tower, a glassy, largely vacant monolith, looms high above the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out home or storefront envelops the foreground. The album remains lyrically and sonically confrontational, but Chat Pile approached the songwriting with hooks in mind, drawing on melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave. From the blood-soaked vocal passages of 'Christabel '26' to the eerie trip-hop pulse of 'Same Rules,' Who Loves The Sun is deeply human despite its allusions to a dying, divided."

The perfect allegory for the thematic essence of Who Loves The Sun is the photo embossed on the record's cover, where Devon Tower, a glassy, largely vacant monolith, looms high above the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out home or storefront envelops the foreground. The album remains lyrically and sonically confrontational, but Chat Pile approached the songwriting with hooks in mind, drawing on melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave. From the blood-soaked vocal passages of 'Christabel '26' to the eerie trip-hop pulse of 'Same Rules,' Who Loves The Sun is deeply human despite its allusions to a dying, divided."

CHAT PILE	Who Loves The Sun (Color Vinyl)	LP	THE FLENSER	FLENSER 200X-LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 LP version. Color vinyl. "In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band's formation, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap'n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic. Whereas their debut album God's Country depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up Cool World showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, Who Loves The Sun peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse. As with much of Chat Pile's work, Oklahoma City itself looms over the album like a character, its sprawling isolation, economic contradictions, and underlying sense of decay embedded in the fabric of the record.

GUZETTI, STEFANO	In A Strange Place	CD	GLASS MODERN	GLAM 074CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 "In A Strange Place is my album of covers, an idea I've always caressed and finally, about five years ago, found the time to write and produce. Given the importance of this project, it took me quite some time to properly release my take on these songs and musics. I deliberately waited years to see if they could stand the test of time and I would say, for most of them, luckily it happened. My approach on this work is, while featuring other artists' works, to describe a microcosm of feelings and an intimate sonic landscape. A place where the listener could immerse his/her self and take the distance from the world we actually live in. And this is the reason why, as a sonic palette, I've chosen to work with piano, strings and subtle electronics, giving these tracks a slower and delicate vest. This album also features instrumental tracks and interludes featuring echoes of the other tracks included. It's like describing the memory of something, or the intuition of something to come. There are no spaces between tracks, everything is linked in a continuous listening experience to immerse ourselves. The title In A Strange Place, taken from a line of the song 'How ghosts affect relationships' by His Name Is Alive, well describes the nature of the state where we should feel while listening to these tracks, songs about love and the high and lows of life. A place of shelter where we could hide and feel safe for a while, like when we were younger and listened to our favorite songs in the secrecy of our bedrooms. This album sees the collaboration of singers like Anne Garner, Dominic Appleton (Breathless, This Mortal Coil), Lilies on Mars, Emma Anderson (Lush, Sing-Sing), Heidi Berry, Paula Frazer (Tarnation) and Ian Masters (Pale Saints) while featuring tracks by artists like Nick Drake, David J of Bauhaus, His Name Is Alive, Colin Newman of Wire, Steve Miller, Pieter Nooten, Tarnation, Jane, Brian Eno and John Martyn. The last track, 'Hope (Te aroha),' is based on a field recording I took during my honeymoon about ten years ago in Venice, featuring a traditional New Zealand chant of love and peace." -Stefano Guzetti

1-800 MIKEY	In Yun	LP	GONER RECORDS	GONE 214LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 "Bedroom powerpop with hooks on speed dial ? 1-800 Mikey -- is the lo-fi garage pop project of Michael Barker. On any given night in his home of Sydney, Australia, you might find Barker gleefully wailing away on stage with any number of local underground garage punk stalwarts including Gee Tee and RMFC. And it seems he's everyone's secret weapon for a reason -- his joy on stage is infectious and it comes across in his music. Barker's own project leans more into the pop side of the garage punk spectrum -- with great results. In Yun is the third 1-800 Mikey album and the first on Goner Records. And in terms of songwriting it's a strong step forward. And while the basic formula here is the same -- melodic bass lines, crunchy guitar riffs and catchy sing-a-long vocals -- there is more going on here. The sound is just as immediate, but also more dynamic and nuanced. Lead single 'Me and My Only' is a high speed collision of distorted city rock guitar riffs and heart-on-your-sleeve poptastic vocal hooks. If that seems like familiar territory, 'K Style' and 'Falling in Love' are more reminiscent of British noise poppers the Shop Assistants and the Pooh Sticks. And the earworm guitarwork anchoring 'Pleasant Morning' and 'Faery' is fresh and catchy -- good luck getting them out of your head. It's fun and sincere and adorable and it totally rips."

WILD MAGNOLIAS, THE	They Call Us Wild	LP	JACKPOT RECORDS	JPR 129LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 "Coming on the heels of Jackpot Records' vinyl reissue of The Wild Magnolias' S/T debut LP comes the band's follow-up record, They Call Us Wild. Championed by critic Robert Christgau as creating 'the most boisterous recorded party I know,' the band released this funk masterpiece in 1975, but now with a psychedelic streak running deeply throughout it. While the first album (which was also the first commercially released record by a Mardi Gras Indian group) declared 'Smoke Your Peace Pipe (Smoke It Right),' They Call Us Wild is a different type of 'elevated' sonic celebration. Vocals echo and drip; saxophones and keyboards swing from each other's arms, and the omnipresent multi-layered percussion, which The Wild Magnolias were known for, showcase why they continue to be one of the most sampled bands of all time (they have been sampled by everyone from Nas to Public Enemy to Jungle Brothers). With producer Philippe Rault at the helm once again, he continued to capture the dense magic within the band, but on They Call Us Wild, they are taking a darker, more haunted approach with their music. The smokey interplay on songs like 'Injuns, Here We Come,' with its jazzy piano/bass meltdown (courtesy of Erving Charles Jr. and Wilson Turbinton of the legendary New Orleans funk band The Gaturs), solidified them as a band rather than capturing a moment, even though the celebration in the studio is still going just as strong. The band also takes itself to new sonic territory, for instance, slowing things down with 'Jumalaka Boom Boom,' with its sexy groove and spoken-word storytelling sections that rival the best of P-Funk."

WINDY & CARL WITH OPTIGAN CONSERVATORY	Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory	CD	KRANKY	KRANK 250CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 "Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to thirty years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy & Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Conservatory is another duo, made up of Frank Rotondo (leader of Detroit area free music ensemble Laughing Gas) and Fred Thomas (songwriter and producer most often associated with his band Saturday Looks Good To Me), who have been making minimalistic and time-defiant electroacoustic sounds since 2016. The album came together almost effortlessly in a very short timeframe, but the idea had been building steam for many a year. In the last days of 2024, Windy & Carl and Optigan Conservatory got together, falling into a mode of sound creation that was almost hyper-natural. Without any discussion outside of the usual stream of jokes and chatter, the quartet set up and started communicating. Added to Windy & Carl's hovering augmented chord voicings and vaporous guitar drones were electric piano and synth bedding from Frank & Fred. After the initial sessions, all involved parties took time to consider what they'd made, adding new layers and editing the pieces into more definitive articulations. A beautiful and hermetic energy larger than the sum of its parts is captured in the process. There are echoes of the earliest releases from Windy & Carl as well as refractions of the same opacity that surfaced in the early Kranky catalog."

SAMARA, EDEN	Odyssey	LP	LAPSUS RECORDS	LAPSUS 045LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Eden Samara grew up in the mountains of western Canada, writing folk songs and performing in the theatre. Following a trip to Europe where she had her first formative clubbing experiences, she relocated to London in 2019 where she's become a consistent presence and voice in the city's underground, collaborating with artists like Parris, Ciel, and Loraine James and earning praise from The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Crack, and DJ Mag. 2022 saw Eden release her debut album Rough Night on Local Action, blending freaky club-pop, introspective R&B and more while collaborating with leading scene figures TSVI, Call Super, and Shanti Celeste. Described by Dazed as "an embarrassment of riches" and by Mixmag as one of the best albums of the year, in Eden's words it was simply "a tragicomedy in seven scenes and an interlude." On her second album Odyssey, Eden brings more elements into her ensemble (jungle, choral singing, live harp) while honing her song-writing -- it's an expansion and a tightening at the same time. Inspired by epic literary works like Homer's Odyssey, The Alchemist and The Picture of Dorian Gray, the album reimagines the archetypal quest through a personal lens: a healing journey amid the collapse of close relationships to addiction, mental illness, and the weight of codependency disguised as love. In Eden's words: "This work is a narrative and sonic expedition -- part myth, part memoir -- that traces my path through the emotional aftermath of watching loved ones struggle with drug addiction and mental health crises, and the impact it had on my own mental wellbeing. The album addresses substance abuse, toxic relationships, and the internalized belief that love must come through sacrifice, even at the cost of one's selfhood." For this special release, Barcelona's Lapsus and London's Local Action join forces for the first time in their respective journeys, reflecting the affinity between both platforms and their shared vision of contemporary electronic music.

MODELBAU	The End of the Continuum	CD	LUMBERTON TRADING COMPANY	LUMB 043CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Anybody paying attention to what's been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion. Meshing abstract electronics with ambient textures, field recordings and a more electroacoustic setting, Analysis Reveals Nothing of Substance brought together the minds of Frans de Waard and Steven Wilson into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on such music exemplified a unique synergy rich in scope. On The End of the Continuum, however, Frans gathers nine solo compositions effortlessly proving his skills as an artist capable of molding wonderful shapes from sinewy electronic tones, spacey bleeps and bloops, iridescent babbling, penumbral shifts and, ultimately, a minimalist soundbed that perhaps draws from yet sits outside the work of Eliane Radigue, Asmus Tietchens, Brian Eno, Roland Kayn and others. As with other recent Modelbau albums, there's as much emphasis on space, and allowing the sounds to move and assume forms at their own pace, as there is on sonics which might sit comfortably at the edge of the known universe. Everything sits well together and is the result of somebody who, after having spent decades listening to and championing all kinds of weird and wonderful music from the deepest underground crannies and crevices, has a clear idea about what to avoid when realizing his own vision. Each piece is shorter than what's expected of the content on the average album now as well. Somewhat more penetrable than so much similarly-inclined music, this is deep listening given a lift to the point one could drift away for endless days to it. This might even be Modelbau's best album yet.

WRIGHT, LYNN	Before The Sinking Plains	LP	MIASMAH	MIA 064LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Layered guitars, synths and wordless vocals set the scenery in this epic, beautiful and introspective solo debut by musical wanderer Lynn Wright. Wright, who has mostly eschewed developing a fixed artistic identity throughout his already long career, has preferred to remain on the periphery of collaborative projects and behind the scenes. It took until recent times for him to make Before The Sinking Plains, which arrives as his first solo recording after decades of traversing underground scenes in New York and beyond. Wright defines the album as "a collection of atmospheric compositions structured as songs or songs masking as atmospheric compositions." The album began during a long neurological illness as guitar loops Wright would make each morning in his apartment and let play quietly in the background. At some point he began recording the ones he liked and adding layers of treated guitars, vocals, and synths, and then, eventually, giving them defined structures. The album features none of the aggression of his louder bands and improvisatory projects, but retains the dark hues. Before The Sinking Plains lives on the familiar peripheries of the post-everything sound world, with elements of everything from washed-out dream pop and atmospheric drone works to sparse noir folk and minimalist vocal composition moving within the linings of Wright's subtle yet grand pieces, creating a perfect backdrop for watching the sky merge with the vast open fields. Since relocating to Berlin some years ago from New York, he has worked closely with composer Simon Goff, who mixed his current album, as an editor, engineer and composer on various film and recording projects. He also plays lap steel guitar in Swans bassist Dana Schechter's band Insect Ark. This is just the top of the iceberg when it comes to Wright's collaborations and projects throughout the years.

BEYLIS, NATALIA	Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees	CD	NYAHH RECORDS	NYAHH 027CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 A blackbird at dawn inspired a living score: Natalia Beylis' work, Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees, is a 52-minute longform journey about land stewardship grown from the sounds and textures of a single field in Leitrim, Ireland. This recording captures the piece as it existed on Friday 12 December 2025. Largely known for her solo instrumental work and her sound collage work, Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees marks her first piece written for an ensemble. Developed with and performed by Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (Viola), Eimear Reidy (Cello), Tóla Custy (Fiddle), Ultan O'Brien (Viola), and Willie Stewart (Percussion) with Natalia conducting. The acoustic music in this recording is the sound of a field and the sky full of life from dawn till dusk. Each note and pause evokes the rhythms of growth, decay and regeneration, inviting audiences to hear the land and its inhabitants as active participants in the music. With this instrumental piece, Natalia hopes to highlight issues around land guardianship that personally affect both her and the land where she lives. Specifically, issues related to the detrimental effects of monocultural commercial forestry. Through strings and percussion Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees captures this interplay between personal stewardship, natural agency, and industrial impact. The rustle of beetles in the hedgerow, the squeak of a leaning Sitka spruce, a lone curlew's call -- these became the pulse and melody of the composition. Birds, squirrels, wind, and human hands act as co-composers, inspiring a shifting soundworld of oaks, saplings, and human heartbeats. This is a piece about listening to the land, its past and possible futures, and your own place within it.

LOUSE	Buyer's Remorse	LP	RIOT SEASON	REPOSE 164LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Limited 300 worldwide on transparent sky-blue LP, housed in a matt finish outer sleeve with double sided insert. Eagerly awaited follow up to 2024's Creep Call, for fans of Brainbombs, Unsane, scum rock, noise rock, The Shits. Scum rock low-lives Louse return with their sophomore LP, Buyer's Remorse -- an unrefined but levelled-up dip back into the murk, keeping it in the family one more time on Riot Season records (a label which now, fittingly, features genre luminaries Brainbombs). More cohesive, more negative but no less disgusting than debut record Creep Call, the band have further enhanced their pummeling, single-riff ritual M.O. with even more strop-razor guitars, crank-fueled slide-bass, strangled sax and sinister missives from the void. Buyer's Remorse includes unspeakable meditations on an unmatched litany of losers, including: inept hitmen/serial killers, snuff-flick refund naivety, disturbing fellatio lessons, burying yourself alive to escape the law and having a damn good time being chopped into luncheon. Snubbed from all but the best festivals, Louse continue to eke out a steady stream of shows, with highlights such as glorious sweat-boxes in beloved Torino, Monza and beyond in the EU with BRAK, being the first band to play Mickey Zogg's Basement in Bristol with Beau Wanzer and multiple distinguished appearances at Café Oto with legend and fellow RS label-mate Shit & Shine. Right-thinking taste-makers have decreed that Louse "exist in an alternate reality where The Fall and The Birthday Party are one and the same band," and that their songs are "all at once unsettling, loose, filthy, untamed, distorted and fucked up, but most of all rocking, creative and unique." Buyer's Remorse is no exception, having been wrangled into perfection by long-time collaborator James Atkinson (The Stationhouse Studio) and none other than Rectal Hygienics' Matt Ibarra (STR Mastering) this is truly scum rock at its finest -- all at once punishing, ugly and brutal; but listen to that groove.

SCRAMBLED EGGS	Happier Together, Filthier Than Ever (The Best Of)	LP	RUPTURED	RPT 077LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Emerging from Beirut's underground music community in the early 2000s, Scrambled Eggs developed a singular voice that combined punk urgency, post-punk tension, noise experimentation and a distinctly local sense of dislocation. Their music reflected neither straightforward protest nor detached abstraction, but rather the contradictions of life in a city marked by instability and constant reinvention. This reissue brings together Happy Together, Filthy Forever (2006) and Peace Is Overrated & War Misunderstood (2009), two releases that document a crucial chapter in the band's history. Recorded during and in the aftermath of the July 2006 war, Happy Together, Filthy Forever marked a shift toward a sharper, more immediate songwriting approach while retaining the exploratory spirit that defined the group's earlier work. Its centerpiece, "1984," was recorded live in Beirut during the conflict itself and remains one of the most striking documents of that period. Originally released three years later, Peace Is Overrated & War Misunderstood collected demos, soundtrack contributions and unreleased recordings made between 2006 and 2009. Together, the tracks reveal the breadth of Scrambled Eggs' creative approach, moving from abrasive punk and noise-driven excursions to more expansive and reflective compositions. Presented together for the first time and newly remastered, these recordings offer a portrait of a band at its most vital, while preserving an important chapter in the history of Lebanon's independent music culture.

$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 The Incompetents emerged from Beirut's independent music scene in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriter Serge Yared and producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist Fadi Tabbal. Over the next thirteen years, the project evolved through multiple lineups and musical directions, drawing in a wide circle of collaborators while maintaining its distinctive voice. A Temporary Convergence Of Interests (The Disgruntled Best Of) is the first anthology to span the band's entire recorded output, gathering nineteen tracks originally released between 2008 and 2020. Drawn from five releases and supplemented with bonus material, the collection traces the many forms The Incompetents took over the course of their existence, from post-punk and art rock to folk-inflected songwriting and more exploratory excursions. Recorded primarily at Tunefork Studios in Beirut, the anthology also offers a glimpse into a fertile period for Lebanon's independent music community. Alongside Yared and Tabbal, the recordings feature contributions from Abed Kobeissy, Stéphane Rives, Paed Conca, Maya Aghniadis, Amine Daher, Malek Rizkallah and, on later recordings, Julia Sabra, Pascal Semerdjian and Marwan Tohme of Postcards. Available on vinyl for the first time, A Temporary Convergence Of Interests gathers the story of The Incompetents in a single collection while offering a window onto the community of musicians that surrounded the band throughout its existence.

CHALK, ANDREW	Mystical Obscurant	LP	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 143LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 Over the course of more than four decades, Andrew Chalk has created one of ambient and experimental music's most distinctive, influential, and enduring bodies of work. Though his recordings have taken many forms -- from the raw, post-Industrial sounds of Ferial Confine in the 1980s to the fragile guitar meditations, blurred keyboard studies, and richly textured collages that populate the Faraway Press catalog -- they remain united by a singular sensibility: an uncommon attentiveness to atmosphere, nostalgia, and the power of restraint. Mystical Obscurant offers a rare opportunity to encounter the expansive character of that oeuvre in miniature. Rather than documenting a single period or methodology, it functions almost like a survey of Chalk's musical language -- a collection of new music that illuminates the breadth of his practice while distilling the singular vision that unites it. "The Sea of Sorrow" and "Peacemaker" feel cut from the same cloth as the sacred guitar minimalism of The River That Flows Into the Sands, while "Against the Tide" would sit naturally alongside the smudged and distant keys of Blue Eyes of the March. Other pieces draw upon environmental sound and loop-based constructions, hallmarks of Chalk's more recent, vignette-like compositions. Though these recordings emerge from different moments in his long creative journey, each inhabits a recognizable world: one where melodies drift in diffuse, unhurried forms and sound gathers with painterly grace. What is most striking when these pieces are heard together is not their difference but their coherence. Across changing instruments, collaborators, and approaches, Chalk has consistently pursued a subjunctive music of suggestion rather than declaration, creating spaces where memory and imagination are allowed to unfold at their own pace.

DOWNPILOT	Strange Horses	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 618CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2026 After a two decades of making albums, Downpilot's Paul Hiraga wonders: why would a songwriter write songs if not to make sense of the oddest or most difficult situations they may find themselves in? With this latest release, Strange Horses, he attempts to address the challenges of living in a time of such rapid and mystifying change and its effects upon relationships, the physical world itself, and the unfathomable terrain of the psyche. His eighth LP is an expertly crafted and truly affecting collection of musical meditations with soundscapes ranging from luscious guitar pop, to intimate, studied Americana. Things kick off with a decisive twang in the compelling and existential opener, "Primitive Skin," and thus begins a sonic exploration of varied moods, themes, and subjects. Whether in the territory of interpersonal complexity ("Rose Paranoia"), changing landscapes ("Playground"), or the destructive and redemptive force of nature ("September Street"), listeners are on a ride to an undisclosed but intriguing destination. Each song is its own individual odyssey, and there is not a B-side in the bunch. "In the Air", one of the album's highlights, is a heartbreaking vignette about broken connections with a tender keyboard part that goes straight from the ear to the emotional core. The quirky rhythms and swirling synths of "You Never Fly" suggest the aftermath of a skyborne mystery, and the breezy dreaminess of "Loose Change" serves up a tinge of Latin-laced sunshine pop. Violinist Melinda Rice adds an appropriate "strangeness" to the closing track, in a soaring and expansive finale. Strange Horses was written, recorded and mixed by Hiraga himself (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass and drums) in Seattle and Whidbey Island WA, and features appearances by longtime collaborators Anne Marie Ruljancich (Walkabouts), Lars Plogschties, Terry de Castro (Wedding Present), Jeff Brown, and Melinda Rice, with newcomer Will Thomas (Dive Index) providing synth textures.

One of an occasional series of 'minimalism' inspired LPs by the group, In A Not C is a not a barely changing drone, but a wild ride with the band in full flight, rushing along in a glorious swirl of psychedelic madness. Like the band's well-known 2001 version of Terry Riley's 'In C,' the group uses a small cell of repeating sound as a jumping off point and then gradually revs up to maximum velocity. The current AMT lineup has produced a series of fun and unique variants on the band's longstanding signatures, with the addition of vocalist/guitarist Jyonson Tsu and drummer Satoshima Nani providing a lightness and nimbleness of touch that resets the context of the band's usual blazing electric guitar and burbling synth. Both sides here build to a multi-layered crescendo, with loops of Tsu's gentle vocals competing with frenetic drums, whistling electronics, and guitar that alternates trebly feedback and soft arpeggios. Cut by Golden, pressed in Chicago at Smashed, first pressing on clear vinyl."

MANDRAKE Y LOS DRUIDAS	Un Plan Perfecto	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 173LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/8/2026 Un Plan Perfecto is the fourth studio album by Mandrake y los Druidas, exploring the restless tension between light and darkness. Moving through contrasting musical landscapes, its thirteen songs all bear Alberto "Mandrake" Wolf's unmistakable songwriting signature. Human, existential, and sharply observant, they delve into stories that are both monumental and deeply intimate. For the first time in the band's history, a guest musician joins the journey: the legendary Walter "Nego" Haedo. His contribution not only brings an effortless swing to the Druidas sound but also becomes a driving force behind the band's musical exploration, where rock 'n' roll meets African-rooted rhythms in an irresistible blend. Conceived as an album to be experienced from beginning to end, Un Plan Perfecto brings together and consolidates the decade-long journey of a band that continues to expand its musical universe. Born in Montevideo in 1962, Alberto "Mandrake" Wolf has been one of the defining figures of Uruguayan popular music since the early 1980s. After three decades leading his former band, Los Terapeutas, he returned to the local music scene in 2017 with Mandrake y los Druidas, a supergroup formed alongside a younger generation of musicians and built around a powerful, high-energy take on classic rock 'n' roll. Their self-titled debut album, Mandrake y los Druidas (2017), was warmly received by critics and audiences alike, earning three major Graffiti Awards in 2018: Best Band, Best Album, and Best Rock & Blues Album. In 2020, they released Sortilegio, further developing the band's sound while broadening its musical horizons. Three years later came La Suite de Raymundo, an immersive and uncompromising work built around a 16-minute-and-30-second musical suite, earning two Graffiti Awards in 2024 for Best Songwriter and Best Artwork.

AROVANE	Atol Scrap (Clear Vinyl)	2LP	KEPLAR	KEPLARREV 005X
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 The story of each re-release begins with the original. In the late '90s, Uwe Zahn (Arovane), along with Robert Henke (Monolake) and Stefan Betke (Pole), began releasing music on Torsten Pröfrock's (Dynamo) newly launched DIN label. This was a very inconspicuous undertaking, but fans of the flourishing IDM, glitch, and constantly evolving abstract techno genres quickly picked up on the quality of sound coming out of Germany. After a few successful EPs, Zahn began working on his debut full-length, Atol Scrap. The release was a success, at least in the underground circles, where followers of the melodic harmonies, stuttering off-beat rhythms, and, most importantly, advanced sound design feverishly consumed the imprint's output. There was only one thing missing -- the album was never pressed on vinyl, and for decades remained in the digital domain. The fans, of course, inquired. There were multiple offers on the table, but Zahn retained control until he was assured that it was properly attained. Listening to Atol Scrap over twenty years later it is inane not to admit how well it has held up. Where other genres clearly aged, becoming stale, bland, and dull, the music on eleven tasty tracks still keeps the neurons tickled with each note. More than an echo of the past, the bottled sound truly has matured. Many of the newly evolving techniques are recognizable on the album. From this debut to the most recent output, Arovane's sound has evolved to become more intricate, detailed, and pronounced. And just as Atol Scrap reminds Zahn of the past, retaining charm preserved in a container traveling through time, it also jitters memories of long ago. Remastered and cut to vinyl by Kassian Troyer at D&M. Cover art by Jim Kühnel based on a photograph by Uwe Zahn.

DENUC, MAXIME	Club Imperiale	CD	LIGHT-YEARS	LY 010CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Named after a now-shuttered nightspot that overlooked the beach on Italy's picturesque Tuscan coast, Maxime Denuc's Club Imperiale is a work of speculative historical fiction, a record that imagines a point of creative symbiosis between the Catholic church and the ecstatic dancefloors of the early '90s. Using a MIDI-controlled pipe organ, Denuc creates dense clouds of impossible-to-play notes that ricochet backwards and forwards through history, from Rome's reverberant cathedrals to the white, sandy beaches of the Balearic Islands. Two years ago, the Brussels-based French composer was forwarded a surprising video by a Belgian fan. It was shot during a wedding at a church in Menorca, where the organist was playing "Infinite End," the lead track from 2022's Nachthorn. Immediately, Denuc knew that this was the thematic backdrop he'd been waiting for; he imagined the aftermath of the event, wandering through small villages and teetering on a cliff's edge, finding a provincial nightclub and retracing his steps back to the beach to witness the sunrise. This time around, Denuc was gifted the time and the access he needed to fully refine his concept. The technical side of the process had already been solved; after recording Nachthorn, he was now very confident with his system, able to control the pipe organ's keyboards, stops and pedals incredibly precisely using Max/MSP and OpenSoundControl, or OSC. And his relationship with the St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf had deepened significantly. The cantor offered him three- or four-days each month for a year to record the project and Denuc jumped at the chance. He moved into a small apartment nearby and spent every available hour behind the organ, working from 9AM until 5PM, stopping for mass and then returning for another long session, heading back to his studio on the off days to listen back to the recordings and plan fresh approaches. This allowed him to sculpt the experience meticulously, thinking about the history of sacred music and considering the real reasons that its compositions have lingered in the secular consciousness for so long. He wanted to concentrate on the visceral acoustic qualities of the church itself, so used a spatial multi-microphone setup to situate listeners between the concrete walls, fabricating an acoustic experience that's multi-dimensional and cinematic.

FOHN	Porcelain	LP	ODDA RECORDINGS	ODA 009LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Fohn conjures a dreamlike landscape of introspective beauty, loneliness and transience from analogue tape and field recordings on new album, Porcelain. A late summer evening in southern France. The dry mistral wind billows the washing that hangs outside the windows on narrow streets, bringing with it the first whispers of autumn. In the distance children are playing in the square, their shouts caught in the dust whipped up by their feet. A bell tolls, the light dies, and a rich, compelling solitude descends. Violinist and multi-instrumentalist Fohn, aka Tom Connolly, describes the act of making music as "building fictional environments that become places of solace," and a process of translation and projection that bridges his internal and external worlds. While musicians like John Also Bennett, Oren Ambarchi, and Connolly's own group Quade drift behind his sound, Porcelain draws its temperamental inspiration from films like Call Me My Your Name and Andrei Tarkovsky's The Mirror, as well as the sculptures of Anthony Gormley, whose solitary figures stand isolated in expanses of water along the UK coastline. How does Connolly describe the atmosphere he wants the music to evoke? "It's the feeling of the inevitability of something having to pass," he answers. "It's compelling because it's fundamentally unattainable. You're searching and grasping for something that you can never fully hold." A moving, intimate and deeply personal album, Porcelain shimmers in the illusive light of melancholy. For Connolly it provided the release of catharsis, but it's a feeling that will mean something different to everyone who listens.

LOBO, EDU	Cantiga de Longe	LP	WEEK-END RECORDS	WE 024LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Available again for the first time since 1970, Edu Lobo's melancholy masterpiece epitomizes the experimental evolution of MPB. With new liner notes by Edu Lobo. Released in 1970, Cantiga de Longe is a defining record in the career of Brazilian singer, composer, and guitarist Edu Lobo and a significant contribution to Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). Created during Brazil's military dictatorship, the album reflects the subtle, poetic strategies that artists use to convey meaning while subject to censorship. Rather than overt protest, Lobo expresses longing and introspection through refined musical language and evocative lyrics. Musically, the album captures the sophistication of MPB at the turn of the decade. A foundation of acoustic guitar blends with jazz-influenced harmonies and elegant arrangements. The sound is both intimate and expansive: delicate vocal lines unfold over complex progressions, supported by understated rhythms, rooted in Brazilian traditions. Lobo's controlled yet expressive vocal delivery keeps the lyrical nuance at the forefront. A key element of the album's texture is the involvement of Hermeto Pascoal. His imaginative instrumental contributions add subtle harmonic color and atmospheric depth, enriching the refined arrangements and enhancing the sense of openness. Thematically, the album explores memory, distance, solitude, and time -- personal reflections that resonate with the broader climate of uncertainty that dominated Brazil in 1970. This remains one of Lobo's most mature recordings, exemplifying the emotional depth and artistic subtlety of Brazilian popular music in a creatively fertile era.

DOLLAR BRAND/DON CHERRY/CARLOS WARD	The Third World-Underground (1974)	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 125CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/11/2026 Wewantsounds presents the first-ever international release of the legendary collaboration between Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Don Cherry, featuring Carlos Ward. Recorded live in 1972 at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this highly sought-after album was originally released exclusively in Japan in 1974 on the cult jazz label Trio Records via its revered Nadja imprint. An essential chapter in the musicians' discographies, the performance masterfully blends jazz with rich South African rhythms and global influences. This long-awaited edition features fully remastered audio, the original Japanese artwork, and a four-page booklet with new bilingual liner notes (English/French) by Jacques Denis. The Third World-Underground captures a rare convergence of three singular musical voices: Don Cherry's nomadic imagination, Abdullah Ibrahim's deeply rooted South African lyricism, and Carlos Ward's muscular alto saxophone. By 1972 when this magical album was recorded, Cherry and Ibrahim had already spent a decade redefining jazz by pushing beyond its foundations and embracing a broader, global musical language. Cherry was in constant search of new musical pathways. Drawing inspiration from the traditional sounds of Turkey, India, Africa, and beyond, he cultivated a fluid, borderless approach that expanded far beyond the trumpet, incorporating voice, percussion, and communal improvisation into his work. Ibrahim brought an equally profound sensibility. A spiritual heir to Duke Ellington, shaped by Cape Town gospel, township jive, and the emotional weight of exile, he transformed the piano into an instrument capable of both celebration and lament. Having first crossed paths in the mid-1960s, the musicians shared a deep mutual affinity that culminated in this performance. Recording under a name that reflected the era's growing decolonization movements, the trio created a fearless, boundary-defying statement across seven hypnotic pieces. The music unfolds as a continuous conversation: Ibrahim's cyclical piano figures provide an emotional foundation while Cherry and Ward drift, soar, and chant in ecstatic unison, searching collectively for new ground. Originally released in Japan in 1974 on Trio Records, the album was never reissued on vinyl, gradually attaining cult status among collectors and fans of Don Cherry and Dollar Brand alike. Freed from convention, The Third World-Underground remains a restless and deeply human work of collective discovery whose resonance continues to unfold with every listen.

OVCHINNIKOV AND EDUARD ARTEMYEV, VYACHESLAV	Tarkovsky	5CD BOX	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 366CD
$50.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 This boxset contains the original soundtracks to the five core works of Andrei Tarkovsky, the master of Soviet cinema: Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Roublev, Solaris, Mirror, and Stalker. The works by Eduard Artemyev and Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov may sound imperfect to the modern ear, but have been sympathetically remastered and presented as close as possible to how striking they would have sounded to audiences at the original film presentations. Deluxe matt-laminate boxset containing 5 CDs in individually-printed card sleeves. Each album is accompanied by an artcard featuring the original Soviet/Japanese cinema posters on its release. The haunting soundtrack for Tarkovsky's 1962 film Ivan's Childhood was composed by the prolific Soviet composer Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. It features a deeply romantic yet sorrowful 5-note leitmotif that captures the poignancy of innocence lost in war. Ovchinnikov's sweeping score relies on romantic idioms to contrast the harsh realities of the Eastern Front with Ivan's nostalgic, dream-like flashbacks. The soundtrack for the 1966 masterpiece Andrei Roublev was also composed by Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. The sweeping, evocative score is deeply intertwined with the film's religious and historical themes, with its profound, choral-heavy resonance that perfectly accompanies the film's exploration of faith, art, and Russian history. The composer collaborated closely with Tarkovsky to create a score that captures the raw, earthy reality of 15th-century Russia while elevating the film's stunning visual language. Eduard Artemyev's score for Tarkovsky's 1972 sci-fi masterpiece Solaris is a ground-breaking work of early electronic music. With Tarkovsky envisioning an ambient / mechanical soundscape, Artemyev's futuristic takes on Bach's organ works are combined with haunting, abstract synthesizer drones and environmental noise, all crafted on the famed ANS synthesizer. At atmospheric, dreamlike score that perfectly mirrors the psychological themes of the film. Eduard Artemyev's magnificent soundtrack to Tarkovsky's 1975 film Mirror is the natural follow-up to Solaris. Dense, slow-moving, and often disorienting mood pieces with Baroque sensibilities resonate beyond the film's dream-like images. A combination of monolithic scale and pastoral melody makes the music so intriguing, lush and unique. For Stalker, the third part of Tarkovsky's science fiction trilogy, Eduard Artemyev was inspired by Indian classical music and employed eerie layers of synth tones, flute, harpsichord, and tar (Iranian stringed instrument), as well as choirs, to create a central theme as spellbinding as The Zone, a setting in the film where laws of physics no longer apply. Achingly beautiful.

BLACK METEORIC STAR	Wet	LP	DARK ENTRIES	DE 399LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 "Wet is the fifth full length album by Black Meteoric Star and the tenth release. Black Meteoric Star is a project Rayna started in 2006 when she was living in Berlin that brought together her life-long love of dance music culture with spiritual themes, drag, and her formative experiences of S/M culture. Black Meteoric Star has always had an avenger quality in Rayna's life and creative work, and this iteration plays that role in response to the current political landscape. Wet celebrates the long-standing shared history of electronic music and queer leather/SM culture and imagines a future where these two cultural expressions are re-connected. Electronic music and leather/SM are both ways that queer people have historically built community, created and shared knowledge, and kept each other safe. The current administration demonizes and villainizes queer people on the basis of a false moral framework of respectability, and it's a trick. Revitalizing the connection between electronic music and queer leather/SM is a way to affirm the cultural power of both during a time when it has never been clearer that people keep each other safe. Rayna, a transgender woman with a deep commitment to all of these cultural forms, has a strong message to deliver with this album. She has been a DJ and producer of electronic music for over thirty years and has been producing community cultural events for as long. She has also been involved in kink and BDSM for decades and is a well-known and respected DJ in the New York leatherdyke scene. Rayna made international headlines in 2017 when she came out as transgender while touring with LCD Soundsystem. In 2018 she left the Grammy-winning band to pursue projects that were more connected with her queer experience, including founding Voluminous Arts, a cultural organization that supports trans artists. Black Meteoric Star is a continuation of a thread in Rayna's work that runs through her Paper Eyes project and her role in Black Leotard Front. This thread has a comic book or X-rated graphic novel component based around her experiences of being a sad lonely lesbian trans girl who was bullied a lot and found escape and the possibility of being avenged through X-Men comics and Dungeons and Dragons books."

The eleven songs, recorded in 1998 in Denver and Paris, showcase the band at the height of their creative powers; what's more, the versions of the songs from their studio classics "Low Estate," "Sackloth," and "Ashes" featured here are close to perfection. What power, what force! From the intro to the opener "American Wheeze" -- dominated by David Eugene Edwards' accordion -- it takes less than two minutes for the band to let all hell break loose. In 1998, 16 Horsepower was a machine that steamrolled everything in its path -- not brutally, but always with immense power. Yet they always remained delicate, mastering the quiet moments (just listen to "Bad Moon Risin") with the same confidence as their full-throttle tracks. In addition to the CCR cover, the album features the Gun Club's "Fire Spirit" as well as a brilliant version of Joy Division's "Day of the Lords." Anyone who has ever seen the band live knows the magic of such moments.

HOLY FUCK	Deleter (Clear Vinyl)	LP	HOLY EF MUSIC	HOLY 001X-LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Re-release of Holy Fuck's fifth album originally released in 2020, now on clear vinyl limited to 500 copies. This record features collaborations with Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) Angus Andrew (Liars) and Nicholas Allbrook (Pond). Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt "Punchy" McQuaid utilizes their signature sound -- seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house's dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for. From the thrusting minimalism of opener "Luxe" through to the triumphant chug of closing track "Ruby," via club-ready rollocker "Free Gloss" and the cosmic clatter of "San Sebastian," Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolor, crescendo- heavy sound. The first single was A listed on Radio 6 and since then their streaming audience has grown by 1 million.

CHKHEIDZE + ROBERT LIPPOK, ANUSHKA	The Sky Was Out of Tune	LP	MORR MUSIC	MORR 209LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Anushka Chkheidze and Robert Lippok continue their collaboration with The Sky Was Out of Tune. Its eight movements form a long-form ambient piece in constant flux: soundscapes emerge from electronic synthesis and layered textures, while small melodies, rhythmic patterns, metallic noises, or distortions drift through like clouds across the sky. But a sky that is out of tune is still a sky. What shifts is the register in which it speaks. The Sky Was Out of Tune emerges from a live performance for Festival of Future Nows at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie. Its organically tangled sounds mirror the artists' attention to nature as a system that is never quite in equilibrium. Ecosystems lean, compensate, tip, and recover -- balance, in the natural world, is not a fixed state but a perpetual negotiation. Chkheidze and Lippok take this as both subject and method. Their sounds shift weight between one another, approach resolution and then withdraw from it, hold tension without release -- they find form in the unstable.

FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND	Satori	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 511LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Originally released in 1971, Satori is Flower Travellin' Band's groundbreaking masterpiece and one of the most visionary albums of the early heavy rock era. It fused hard rock, psychedelia, progressive music and traditional Eastern influences into a sound unlike anything heard before. Unlike many rock albums of the era, Satori is structured as a continuous musical journey, with its five tracks presented as interconnected movements rather than conventional songs. The band's powerful rhythm section, extended guitar passages, and the commanding vocals of Joe Yamanaka create an atmosphere that feels both intense and hypnotic. Recorded during a period when Japanese rock was developing its own identity, Satori drew inspiration from Western hard rock and psychedelia while incorporating a unique sense of space, improvisation, and spiritual exploration. Over the decades, the album has gained international recognition among collectors, musicians, and fans of vintage heavy rock, often cited as an overlooked classic that anticipated elements of later hard rock, stoner rock, and heavy metal. More than fifty years after its release, Satori remains as one of the most influential and forward-thinking records in Japanese rock history. Includes an insert.

DERRIBOS ARIAS	En La Guia, En El Listin	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 512LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 By late 1981, the San Sebastián-based group La Banda sin Futuro had already transformed into Derribos Arias. Initially, the band was a duo consisting of Poch and Alejo Alberdi, two seemingly opposite personalities who complemented each other perfectly, forming an almost inseparable partnership. Poch handled the guitar with a highly distinctive style -- his technique was not especially polished, but his imagination was boundless. Alejo got to work with a Korg MS-10 synthesizer and a Korg KR55 drum machine, modest tools that ensured their self-sufficiency while connecting them to the more adventurous side of post-punk. Both absorbed music from past and present in a natural and original way. Derribos Arias' first two singles dazzled critics eager for new ideas capable of placing Spanish pop alongside the contemporary music increasingly arriving from abroad in real time. "Branquias bajo el agua," the standout track from the band's debut single, topped the list of Best Songs of 1982 as voted by listeners of Diario Pop on Radio 3 (Spanish National Radio). With an expanded four-piece lineup and a larger budget than they had enjoyed for their earlier singles, the band entered the prestigious Kirios Studios to record their album, with Paco Trinidad serving as producer. The electric intensity of "Íntima decoración" and "Crematorio" -- angular, off-kilter reinterpretations of a strain of rock descended from The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, a style with virtually no precedent in Spain -- are excellent examples of the band's sound. To aberrate was the key term Poch used to describe his ineffable working method: a fearless creative freedom without which songs such as "Lo que hay" could never have existed. The track stands as a leftfield proto-hip-hop number, later reworked as "Disco pocho," demonstrating both his admirable lack of prejudice and his complete disregard for any commercial ambitions the album might have had. Unfortunately, this album would never have a follow-up. Released in 1983, En la guía, en el listín ("In the Directory, In the Phone Book") remains a permanent anomaly in the history of Spanish pop music, with few clear predecessors and even fewer descendants. It is an imperfect yet fascinating catalog of the many faces Derribos Arias could reveal a promise of greatness left unfulfilled when their career was cut short before reaching its full potential. This edition includes liner notes and the artwork of the original insert.

ANTORCHA	Music To Set Everything On Fire	2LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 513LP
$44.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 After a brief period during which they recorded only a couple of 7" singles for the Orfeón label that had a very limited distribution, Mexican rockers Antorcha fully embraced a DIY approach to managing their own career. They had evolved into a heavy psychedelic rock group, with no metaphors and no compromises. Anarchists in a country that could barely utter the word without trembling. It was the final years of the 1960s. Their influences came from Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Vanilla Fudge, and others. At times they also sounded like MC5, the Detroit band they already knew through their records and with whom they shared an anarchist and anti-establishment spirit. Through their original music, they challenged a scene crowded with cover bands. They recorded five self-produced EPs, sold exclusively at their live performances, passed from hand to hand as if each record were a clandestine act. While MC5 stirred the streets of Detroit alongside the White Panthers, Antorcha was doing much the same in a Mexico that preferred to look the other way. The band operated as a cooperative: agreements were reached collectively, and income was shared equally. Antorcha became a forgotten band in their own country, overlooked even by Mexican rock experts. Yet their legacy proved influential on an organizational level for later groups in the independent scene, which followed Antorcha's model of self-releasing and self-managing their work. This compilation brings together the best of their discography, collecting self-released 7" records originally issued between 1971 and 1976, along with material that never appeared on their EPs. Includes an insert featuring liner notes by Carlos Icaza "Tropicaza" and photographs of the band.

CANARIOS/CAMILO SESTO	Get On Your Knees/To Be A Man	7"	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 7403EP
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Canarios, the band led by Teddy Bautista, was one of the first Spanish groups to incorporate the sounds of emerging musical trends -- primarily from the English-speaking world -- into its repertoire. In 1968, "Get On Your Knees" was released, a stunning soul track recorded by Swiss producer Alain Milhaud that quickly climbed the charts in numerous countries. "To Be A Man" is something of a rarity in the discography of Spanish singer Camilo Sesto, whose songs typically lean toward straightforward melodic pop and ballads. Surrounded by an international team of collaborators under the direction of former Brincos member Juan Pardo as producer, he recorded this psychedelic-tinged pop song.

$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Originally released on the Bolivian Psicofásico label, this exceptionally rare EP pairs The Seeds' garage anthem "Pushing Too Hard" with the ferocious, immortal "You're Gonna Miss Me" by Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. The raw power of the original songs is pushed even further here by the rudimentary recording techniques and the limited instrumental skills of the very young members of The Silver Pumpkins. The result is a one-of-a-kind document -- virtually impossible to find in its original pressing -- that helps complete the picture of Bolivia's fascinating '60s rock scene. First-ever reissue.

NOTO AND RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, ALVA	12 Conversations	CD	NOTON	NOTON 068CD
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 NOTON presents 12 Conversations, a collaborative album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto. The partnership between the legendary musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and the German artist Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto) has produced some of the most distinctive and enduring works in contemporary electroacoustic music. Beginning with Vrioon in 2002, the artists spent more than two decades fusing and expanding their disciplines, with Sakamoto's evocative, sustain-drenched piano compositions finding their counterpart in Nicolai's skillful and sensitive electronic detailing. Their distinct approaches achieved a rare synthesis, a brilliantly sustained dialogue between piano and electronics, Sakamoto's warmth and melodic finesse meeting Nicolai's abstract electronic formalism to invoke a mesmeric quietude as deeply satisfying in its melodic resolutions as in the merger of its filmic romanticism and meditative subtlety. 12 Conversations brings together musical exchanges recorded in November and December 2022. Rooted in the same creative period that gave rise to Sakamoto's final solo album 12, these recordings were not originally intended as a standalone release. It was only after the completion of 12 that Sakamoto and Nicolai decided to present these exchanges as a work in their own right. The album reflects the vitality and curiosity that defined more than two decades of shared inspiration: fluid, exploratory, and forward-looking. Created with openness and trust, it captures a creative process in constant transformation -- sounds expanding, altering, and evolving through attentive listening. Conceived as the continuation of an artistic dialogue extending beyond the physical, 12 Conversations honous Sakamoto's wish that these encounters should exist beyond the archive, offering an enduring testament to one of contemporary music's most revered collaborations.

LEIMER, K.	At The First Clear Sound	CD	PALACE OF LIGHTS	POL 017-2026CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 "Some more new music made with a system of hand-drawn, modular passages rearranged in coherent and incoherent signatures. The tracks of At the First Clear Sound are stubbornly absent of improvisation, solos, virtuosity, and compositional form while being full of naïveté, a harsh smoothness, an agitated calm, and inharmonic harmonics. Dazzled by the automatic nature of this modular technique Leimer worked quickly, choosing to respect his mistakes and question his choices. 'As reliant as the music is on computers, samples, digital processing, and typing, this work is still rather imperfect, rather handmade. And, of course, my compulsion to work with infinitely pliant sound is now clearly bordering on mild psychosis.' Technically, there's never a final mix. K. Leimer founded Palace of Lights in 1979. Leimer's work has also been issued by Autumn, First Terrace, Les Giants, Invisible Inc., Origin Peoples, and RVNG. His early cassette work is included in the critically acclaimed VOD box set American Cassette Culture and is included in Cherry Red's Noise Floor series. Leimer has been actively producing music since the mid-1970s -- his current catalog includes solo albums, soundtracks, installations, and collaborative albums with Savant, Marc Barreca, Tyler Boley, and Three Point Circle."

ROOMER	Staircase Made of Rope	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 043LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Berlin-based trio Roomer weave noise, melody, and memory into expansive guitar-driven songs. Formed by long-time friends and collaborators Ronja Schößler, Ludwig Wandinger, and Luka Aron, the band brings together distinct voices from across Europe's avant-garde, folk, and electronic scenes, folding these lineages into a sound that moves between shoegaze density, diaristic songwriting, and sonic exploration. Their music often holds opposites in suspension: clarity and blur, structure and drift, intimacy and collapse. Their debut album Leaving It All to Chance (SQM 032LP, 2025,) introduced this language in full, pairing emotionally direct songs with shifting textures and dense layers of distortion. With Staircase Made of Rope, their second album on Squama, Roomer widen the frame further. Built largely from improvisations and first takes, the record embraces instability as method, moving between density and silence while allowing melodies to surface and dissolve in unexpected ways.

VALLE, MARCOS	Vento Sul	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 331LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Marcos Valle is one of those artists you simply can't overlook if you have even a passing interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste leans toward bossa jazz, samba, psychedelic folk, or modern soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. By the late 1960s he had already released enough outstanding records to secure a place among the greatest Brazilian artists of all time, but fortunately his career didn't stop there. He has continued recording fabulous albums over the following decades, right up to the present day. Widely regarded as one of the finest recordings in Marcos Valle's catalog, Vento Sul (1972) represents a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution, revealing a composer unafraid to reinvent himself and push the boundaries of Brazilian popular music. From the hypnotic title track to highlights such as "Democústico," "Revolução Orgânica," "Paisagem de Mariana," and "Pista O2," the album remains a breathtaking achievement whose influence continues to resonate more than five decades later. This reissue shines a well-deserved spotlight on a landmark recording -- an essential chapter in Brazilian music and an indispensable addition to any collection of psychedelic, progressive, jazz, or MPB classics. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

NEBBIA, LITTO	Fuera Del Cielo	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 372LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 "La Balsa" was the first Argentine massive rock hit. In 1967 Los Gatos became the most famous local rock band with this song. At the front, as composer and singer, was Litto Nebbia. Although this milestone has remained eternally linked to Nebbia's name, almost eclipsing the rest of his work, it is really his solo career that unveils the artist's overwhelming talent and his determination to create music freely, regardless of commercial considerations. Fuera del cielo (1975) is an art rock/space jazz masterpiece infused with prog scents from one of the true legends of Argentinian rock. The sounds of floating acoustic pianos, organ and harpsichord, basslines and even bandoneon combine with Litto's own voice and create a unique blend of deep and delicate beauty. It is an album to be filed next to the highly acclaimed Bazar de los milagros and Cosas que no quieren morir, released the following year, creating an outstanding body of work that represents Nebbia's talent at its best. Nebbia's genius transcends beyond the Southern Hemisphere. The international scene of DJs and vinyl collectors shows signs of its taste for Litto Nebbia recordings, now highly sought after in their original editions, probably as part of a rediscovery of little-explored global sounds, within a journey through music always hungry for exciting new sounds. First time vinyl reissue, remastered sound.

CALDERON, JUAN CARLOS	Bloque 6	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 374LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Bloque 6 (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career, composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely tied to the world of jazz. His training as a pianist and the restless, adventurous spirit he shared with his brothers -- alongside whom he opened one of Spain's first jazz clubs, a venue that welcomed many of the world's leading jazz figures -- shaped the early stages of his career and led him into the jazz scene. His recording debut came in 1968 with the release of Juan Carlos Calderón presenta a Juan Carlos Calderón, followed a few months later by Bloque 6. For the recording of this album, he assembled a group of prominent Spanish jazz musicians, including Pedro Iturralde, Vlady Bas, and Pepe Nieto. The repertoire combines original compositions, such as the outstanding "Sambando," with interpretations of works by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Oliver Nelson. The album's sound invites comparison with Nelson's celebrated "The Blues and the Abstract Truth" period, reflecting strong hard bop and modal jazz influences. In 1969, the album was awarded Best International Jazz Album of the Year in the United States, and years later it was reissued on CD by the prestigious Blue Note label. First time vinyl reissue.

ANAXIA	Maska	LP	VEYL	VEYL 049LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 Rich Oddie of Orphx and Alex Pi of Pi Electronics introduce Anaxia, a new project arriving on Veyl with the 7-track LP Maska. Built from raw electronics, stripped-down drum machines and a stark post-punk pulse, the record sits somewhere between industrial pressure and the ghostly minimalism of Suicide. It is direct but shadowed, physical but restrained, with vocals from Oddie and Pi cutting through the machinery rather than sitting on top of it. Oddie's background in Canada's industrial underground and Pi's long-running connection to the Greek electronic scene meet in a sound that feels tense, reduced and fully intentional. KAOSMOS and Florian Engerling add additional vocals, while remixes from In Trance 95 and Veyl regulars Years of Denial extend the material into darker, more hypnotic territory. With Maska, Anaxia deliver a debut that feels fully formed: nocturnal, focused and stripped to its essentials. A natural fit for Veyl, the record draws a line between post-punk, industrial electronics and body music without overexplaining itself.

RUBY OF THANKS	Before You Turn Into A Dog	LP	WOODSIST	WOODSIST 113LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/18/2026 "Ruby of Thanks is the songwriting and home-recording project of Hudson Valley musician Andy Weaver. A fourth-generation New Yorker, Weaver is also a house painter and drummer whose work has included Widowspeak, Castanets, Wildflower, and Andre Ethier. With Ruby of Thanks, he turns toward something quieter: intimate, handmade songs that find beauty in ordinary life. Before You Turn Into A Dog is the project's second full-length album. Split between solo recordings made at Weaver's home in Kingston -- where he played every instrument himself -- and collaborative sessions with friends in Cairo and Catskill, the record values process as much as polish. Several songs preserve their very first complete performances, documenting ideas as they emerge rather than after they've been refined. 'Hopefully it captures some spirit of creation,' Weaver says. 'The idea of songwriting as a way to process events and create peace at home by working with your hands, making things. Self-recording as a response to capitalism in art.' That philosophy gives Before You Turn Into A Dog its quiet gravity. These songs dwell in everyday rituals and fleeting moments of transcendence, moving through love, depression, work, and the search for peace with remarkable patience and generosity. Weaver's warm acoustic guitars, understated melodies, and homespun recordings never ask for attention -- they earn it through honesty, intimacy, and careful craft. There are echoes of artists like Little Wings, John Andrews, and the Yawns, and Hand Habits, but Ruby of Thanks resists easy comparison. Like the records that have long defined the Woodsist orbit, Before You Turn Into A Dog feels less like a statement than a place to inhabit: unhurried, deeply human, and quietly transformative."

FAUST	Fliegen lernen	CD	BUREAU B	BB 455CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For Wüsthoff, music began long before Faust. As a child he watched his father lose himself in music, playing accordion renditions of operettas, film themes and folk songs with complete absorption. At eleven he discovered jazz through a radio program tracing its history, then taught himself guitar and piano as a teenager, developing an instinctive relationship with sound driven by curiosity rather than convention. Produced by Onnen Bock alongside Bureau B's Gunther Buskies, Fliegen Lernen continues that philosophy. Drawn from decades of archived recordings, new studio experiments and collaborations with musicians in Hamburg, it is a living extension of Faust's open-ended creative spirit. Ideas emerge through chance as much as intention, with sounds, words and stories setting one another in motion until they gradually find their own form. Its title, simultaneously suggesting "flies are learning" and "learning to fly," perfectly captures the playful shifts in perspective that have long defined Wüsthoff's work. Throughout Fliegen Lernen, Wüsthoff revisits and reimagines ideas that have animated his career for more than half a century. Much of the material grew from electronic sequences discovered in his archive, some echoing the patterns behind the homemade "Spieluhr" frequency-divider and sequencer he built during his Faust years. By turns humorous, reflective, cinematic and groove-driven, Fliegen Lernen demonstrates that Wüsthoff's creative imagination remains as restless as ever. Rather than recreating the past, it embodies the same openness that made Faust so singular in the first place: a belief that any sound, object or passing observation can become the spark for something unexpected. More than fifty years after those formative experiments, Wüsthoff continues to approach music as an act of curiosity, collaboration and continual discovery.

FAUST	Fliegen lernen (Indie Exclusive)	LP	BUREAU B	BB 455LTD-LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. Indie exclusive. Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For Wüsthoff, music began long before Faust. As a child he watched his father lose himself in music, playing accordion renditions of operettas, film themes and folk songs with complete absorption. At eleven he discovered jazz through a radio program tracing its history, then taught himself guitar and piano as a teenager, developing an instinctive relationship with sound driven by curiosity rather than convention. Produced by Onnen Bock alongside Bureau B's Gunther Buskies, Fliegen Lernen continues that philosophy. Drawn from decades of archived recordings, new studio experiments and collaborations with musicians in Hamburg, it is a living extension of Faust's open-ended creative spirit. Ideas emerge through chance as much as intention, with sounds, words and stories setting one another in motion until they gradually find their own form. Its title, simultaneously suggesting "flies are learning" and "learning to fly," perfectly captures the playful shifts in perspective that have long defined Wüsthoff's work. Throughout Fliegen Lernen, Wüsthoff revisits and reimagines ideas that have animated his career for more than half a century. Much of the material grew from electronic sequences discovered in his archive, some echoing the patterns behind the homemade "Spieluhr" frequency-divider and sequencer he built during his Faust years. By turns humorous, reflective, cinematic and groove-driven, Fliegen Lernen demonstrates that Wüsthoff's creative imagination remains as restless as ever. Rather than recreating the past, it embodies the same openness that made Faust so singular in the first place: a belief that any sound, object or passing observation can become the spark for something unexpected. More than fifty years after those formative experiments, Wüsthoff continues to approach music as an act of curiosity, collaboration and continual discovery.

FAUST	Gugaruz	CD	BUREAU B	BB 486CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Werner "Zappi" Diermaier has spent decades channeling spontaneity into a unique rhythmic language; a direct, instinctive and vital beat born from the creative freedom which has long defined the spirit of Faust. This same intuitive approach is at the heart of his new LP Gugaruz, created in collaboration with Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) and Elke Drapatz, a record which grew organically from shared experiences, chance encounters and the energy of collective interaction. The project's unlikely starting point came in a Vietnamese restaurant, when Diermaier pointed to a piece of pickled baby corn and exclaimed "Gugaruz", an Austrian dialect word for maize. That small moment triggered a chain reaction of ideas that would eventually shape the album's imagery, titles and sound world. Popcorn cooking in a kitchen both became the source material for field recordings used on the opening track and inspired the cover artwork, establishing a process in which everyday sounds and environments became integral musical elements. Throughout the album, Diermaier's percussion serves as both foundation and driving force. His playing is entirely intuitive, developed in real time through improvisation and close interaction with the other musicians. Initial sessions as a trio, with Elke Drapatz operating the drum effects and trigger module and Dirk Dresselhaus on bass, were recorded in the latter's ZONE studio in Berlin over a day and a half, before Uwe Bastiansen and Ilpo Väisänen added overdubs in Hamburg and Kuopio, Finland. Shaped by the dialogue between Diermaier's intuitive rhythmic approach, the interplay between Dresselhaus, Drapatz, Bastiansen and Väisänen and the use of the studio as an instrument, the album captures inspiration at its source, preserving the immediacy, energy and unpredictability of the moment in which it was created.

$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Since childhood, Jean-Hervé Peron has embraced creativity wherever he finds it. Whether duetting with the sound of his footsteps, collaborating with cement mixers or experimenting with whatever instrument he can get his hands on, play is at the heart of everything he does. This new album gathers ideas, memories and unfinished projects accumulated across his whole lifetime. Its tongue-in-cheek subtitle, "Maybe Of Interest," offers a typically Peronian joke: MOI can suggest a certain self-confidence or egocentrism, yet the subtitle gently undercuts it, revealing the vulnerability, humor and self-awareness that run throughout the record. In fact, MOI is anything but solitary. Credited to FaUSt, with the "US" deliberately capitalized, the record reflects Péron's belief in collaboration, friendship and collective creativity, bringing together a wide network of musicians, engineers, writers and performers from across the extended Faust family. In fact, more than twenty people contributed to the recording sessions, making MOI as much a collective endeavor as a personal statement. Recorded over two winter weeks at Schiphorst studio in northern Germany and deftly combining the contradictory forces of meticulous planning, free improvisation and chance discovery, MOI draws equally from childhood memories, Fluxus principles, dadaist humor and deeply personal experiences. The resulting album moves effortlessly between musique concrète, avant-pop, jazz, spoken word and experimental electronics, united by Péron's curiosity and irrepressible sense of play. Throughout the record, Jean-Hervé Péron presents FaUSt as a living network of friendships, ideas and creative exchanges.

$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For over half a century, Hans Joachim Irmler has pursued the outer limits of sound. As a child, he would neglect his flute to pluck at the strings of his grandmother's zither, cutting his fingers in search of greater resonance and volume. Drawn from an early age to the physical power of sound, he eventually found his instrument in the organ, whose vast sonic range offered seemingly endless possibilities; he still performs on the first organ he built himself. Expanding his sonic palette with synthesizers, tape manipulation and self-modified electronics, Irmler has relentlessly treated music less as composition than as a force of nature, capable of overwhelming, disorienting, destabilizing and transforming both performer and listener alike. Ungebunden continues this trajectory. Recorded alone in the Faust studio in Scheer over the course of just three weeks, the album does not revisit Faust as a repertoire or a historical artefact, but as a continuous vessel for pure creativity. Working largely through improvisation, Irmler begins with little more than a direction or impulse, allowing the material to reveal its own logic as it unfolds. Massive synthesizer figures advance through roaring distortion while pulsing waveforms, whistles and electronic chatter orbit around them. At once oppressive and playful, structured and chaotic, this album embodies the tension at the heart of Irmler's process. Through Ungebunden, Hans Joachim Irmler poses Faust as a question, its sound a force capable of unsettling assumptions, disrupting perception and opening unforeseen possibilities.

AMBARCHI, OREN	Cooked	CD	DRAG CITY	DC 994CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 "Keen listeners who have dug below the surface of Oren Ambarchi's triple-digit discography know that alongside hypnotic minimalism, veins of irreverent and joyously wayward exploration run deep. Cooked is something of a landmark in Oren's work, bringing this gloriously cuckoo sensibility right into the heart of his most high-profile solo work. Carrying on the grand Ambarchi tradition of meticulously constructed all-star studio jams, Cooked brings together collaborators from Australia, Germany, Japan and Sweden for two side-long epics where the foot keeps tapping even as the mind boggles. Beginning with piano ripples from Eiko Ishibashi, after only a few seconds 'Hidden Tableau' takes an unexpected turn with the entrance of a groaning synthetic voice. The first half of the piece develops as an oddly moving concerto for this moaning and growling ghost in the machine and a delicate backdrop of piano, organ-like tones, and Oren's signature shimmering Leslie guitar. As the beautifully flexible swing of Joe Talia's drums enters, the harmonies fill out into woozy clouds and the synthetic voice seems to morph into something approaching a mutant trumpet. In a left turn that seems to come out of nowhere yet make an inexplicable kind of sense, the piece is then overtaken by patterns of intricate guitar and synthetic arpeggios. These might be Jim O'Rourke on synth, but who knows? Cooked is a long way from the spacious, light-dappled grooves of Ghosted, but Oren's Swedish bandmates play starring roles here, with Johan Berthling's double bass anchoring both sides, and drummer Andreas Werliin lending his delicate touch to the second piece, 'Sleight of Hand.' Beginning with glistening layers of electric 12-string guitar, 'Sleight of Hand' takes some key cues from electric Miles touchstones like 'Feio' or his epic take on David Crosby's 'Guinnevere,' with Berthling's sparse basslines punctuating an almost weightless cornucopia of shifting detail, glimmering with subtle contributions from Michiko Ogawa on sho and James Rushford on a panoply of acoustic keyboards. Suddenly, everything is overwhelmed by a knotty, hyper-complex 'solo' from Marcus Pal on digital synthesis, teleporting us to an alternate history where Allan Holdsworth traded the SynthAxe for Xenakis' UPIC. Building with additional drums and percussion from Will Guthrie to a peak of sizzling intensity, the music then goes sideways into a gently surreal coda, where some distinctly Zawinul-esque chords and Fredrik Rasten's guitar float over a sprightly rhythm box, the avian inventions of Swedish virtuoso whistler Isak Hedtjärn wafting atop the sunlit stew. It's certainly Cooked, but not overcooked."

WOLFGANG PRESS, THE	Asylum Variations	CD	DOWNWARDS	DNCD 913CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 The Wolfgang Press present their ninth studio album, Asylum Variations. The album, the follow up to 2024's acclaimed album, A 2nd Shape -- the band's first in nearly thirty years -- continues the return of one of post-punk's most singular and restlessly inventive groups. With Asylum Variations, The Wolfgang Press continue their tradition of never making the same album twice. Although the sonic DNA of A 2nd Shape is intact, the band ramp up the tension and dread while also creating a coherent and accessible set of songs. Recorded at Metway Studio in Brighton, UK, they utilized the method of recording directly onto ADAT and taking the results into the studio to use as the basis for the record. The resulting album is yet another step forward for a band who's only constant is the fact that every album will sound different to the last. Opener "Speakers Don't Speak" is driven by a Can-like beat, Roxy VCS3-style processed guitars, and gurgling analogue synths, over which singer/bassist Michael Allen's seemingly stream-of-consciousness lyrics evoke unease without specifying its source. Elsewhere on the album, wheezing synths and haunted harmonies underpin "Blood On The Leaves," with Allen's bass melodically meandering before collapsing into a dubby breakdown, while "Sail By" again references the dub influence that marked the band out from their early '80s post-punk peers. With Allen in his best crooner mode, "Bind Us" is ushered in on Andrew Gray's undulating guitar, while his brother Stephen picks out the prettiest of keyboard melodies. Penultimate track "Embrace The Light" is a sparse and downtempo ballad, which allows Allen to show off his yearning vocal to full effect and finale "Man Made Heaven" crawls slowly to the album's end, a nimble bassline darting around dirge-like guitars and a synthetic choir. Allen is joined by his daughters for a coda of "it's a lie, it's a lie," finishing the album in a crescendo of industrial noise that manages to be both bleak yet strangely uplifting. Maintaining such a dichotomy is not an easy thing to do, and it's part of what made The Wolfgang Press so unique first time around. If Asylum Variations is anything to go by, the 21st century iteration of the band is more than capable of channeling this duality, their fractured music making them perfect for the fragmented times we find ourselves in.

Penultimate track "Embrace The Light" is a sparse and downtempo ballad, which allows Allen to show off his yearning vocal to full effect and finale "Man Made Heaven" crawls slowly to the album's end, a nimble bassline darting around dirge-like guitars and a synthetic choir. Allen is joined by his daughters for a coda of "it's a lie, it's a lie," finishing the album in a crescendo of industrial noise that manages to be both bleak yet strangely uplifting. Maintaining such a dichotomy is not an easy thing to do, and it's part of what made The Wolfgang Press so unique first time around. If Asylum Variations is anything to go by, the 21st century iteration of the band is more than capable of channeling this duality, their fractured music making them perfect for the fragmented times we find ourselves in.

LLUCH	La Proyeccion	LP	HEGOA	HEG 017LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 La Proyección, the debut LP by Jose María Lluch, an architect and musician from San Sebastián, emerges as a transition -- a gradual shift that unfolded over time. Intimate and innocent, disconnected and erratic at times, the 11 compositions presented here are drawn from recordings spanning nine years, between 2015 and 2024. Humbly assembled in his home studio, the music invites listeners to let their minds drift as the processes of composition, recording, and editing intertwine. Field recordings from everyday life, fingerpicked guitar, soothing harmonics, tape manipulation, and ethereal soundscapes are combined with a naïve openness. The album reveals the joy found in imperfection. Rarely do audiences have the chance to glimpse someone's work in its most unguarded form, without a specific context, after years spent making music simply as a way to break away -- not for anyone else, but for oneself. The songs on La Proyección reveal that very essence, shaped by a shared memory.

CLAUS, GASPAR	Cells	CD	INFINE	IF 1105CD
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Following the sensory adventure of Tancade, in which Gaspar Claus led his listeners to a secret beach, somewhere between friends' parties and summer sun, a new territory opens up. With Cells, he offers an even more expansive journey: an inner journey as much as a cosmic shift, a plunge to the point of origin, where life is invented. True to his sole instrument, the cello, Gaspar multiplies its sound to the point of abstraction. This new work seeks to reach the primordial moment of the first cell division: a tiny, infinite moment when everything was still possible. On stage, he has built a shelter, a refuge-cell, a porous space where the visible and the invisible respond to one another. Lights, electronic breath, uncertain presences -- everything conspires to confront the audience with its own dizzying presence in the world. On the album, this architecture unfolds across ten "musical cells." Each piece observes the same phenomenon: the cello allows itself to be absorbed, dissolved, stretched, or replicated by the machines. Sometimes preserved, often transformed, the instrument becomes living matter, an unstable organism, capable of emitting both electronic landscapes and archaic beats. A rich, luminous album, imbued with an almost healing energy, Cells might seem more electronic than Tancade. Yet every sound that makes it up comes from the cello -- transformed, filtered, and reworked through a series of successive transformations. This is music that doesn't merely describe life: it re-enacts it, cell by cell.

RADA, RUBEN	La Yapla Mata	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 156LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Blending Afro-Uruguayan rhythms with rock, soul, jazz, and funk, Ruben Rada has left an indelible mark on the musical landscapes of Uruguay and Argentina from the 1960s to the present. In the '60s, alongside Eduardo Mateo, he helped pioneer candombe beat with the legendary band El Kinto. In the early 1970s, Rada broke new ground again with Totem, fusing Afrobeat and rock into a sound well ahead of its time. He later joined the Fattoruso brothers and Airto Moreira in Opa, contributing to the band's now-iconic jazz fusion sound during his time in the United States. In the 1980s, Rada relocated to Buenos Aires, where he formed a powerhouse ensemble featuring top musicians from both sides of the Río de la Plata. Together, they created a string of acclaimed albums blending candombe with jazz and rock -- marking one of the most celebrated periods of his career. La Yapla Mata (1985) stands out as one of the finest records Rada produced during that era -- a vibrant fusion of candombe rhythms with rock, jazz fusion, and soul, all anchored by his extraordinary voice. The album includes some of his most iconic songs, such as "Candombe para Gardel." Once a well-kept secret in Uruguay and Argentina, La Yapla Mata is now being released internationally for the first time -- forty years later.

HERLOP, MARINA	Dja Dja	CD	MARINA HERLOP	MH 001CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 Marina Herlop's Dja Dja opens like a held breath finally released: a violent celebration of life, though not the hedonist's easy yes. The exultation here is hard-won, arrived at rather than assumed, an affirmation drawn up from reflection and a long inward descent, stripped of every naïveté. What animates it is a kind of undirected anger, rage reimagined as a creative force that spends itself in catharsis, and a gratitude so overwhelming it can no longer be contained by the body. This is a music of struggle, but the struggle is not for conquest or ruin; it is for self-affirmation, for the quiet authority of someone defending her principles without ever needing to name them. Conceived as a single, unbroken body of work in which every track answers to the others, Dja Dja is the most architecturally ambitious thing Herlop has made, a giant sudoku built out of smaller sudokus, where the whole had to cohere even as each piece kept its own internal logic. Beneath that design lies a borrowed scaffolding, a structure used at first for purely architectural reasons and then, once the music had taken its shape, allowed to fall away. The frame is gone; the music stands without it. Across these movements the Catalan composer -- classically trained, equally at home in the avant-garde -- sets herself a double standard she refused to relax: more open and intelligible than her earlier records, yet venturing onto ground she had never walked before. Voice and bass, so central to her past work, are held deliberately in reserve, withheld until their arrival some ten minutes in lands with real force. For the first time she lets orchestral brass into her palette, scored not by formal training but by intuition, feeling her way toward timbres that conjure whole worlds without ever tipping into excess. Almost everything was made by hand, at home, in a process that could take exactly as long as the music demanded. Throughout, Herlop describes subordinating herself to the music rather than commanding it, following its instructions for as long as it needed her. It is fitting, then, that Dja Dja is her first self-released album, a record made with this much autonomy seemed to ask for it, and the slow pace of its making left no room for a label's calendar. The release is austere by design, almost without imagery.

THIS HEAT	Health & Efficiency	12"	SUPERIOR VIADUCT	SV 220EP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 "For some fans, Health & Efficiency is This Heat's peak achievement -- their most concentrated blast of visceral intensity and wayward experimentalism. Featuring two long pieces, the EP came out in September 1980. It was released on Piano, the imprint founded by David Cunningham of Flying Lizards, and distributed by Rough Trade, home of the burgeoning post-punk movement and fellow travelers like The Raincoats, Scritti Politti, Cabaret Voltaire and The Red Crayola. Lead track 'Health & Efficiency' combines fierce angular rock that fully lives up to Cunningham's belief that This Heat could become a post-punk King Crimson, with a multi-part babble of vocals, clattering percussive timbres and found sounds. In a large outdoor space, one of the group played with sounds 'a bit like children,' drummer Charles Hayward told one interviewer. Flipside 'Graphic/Varispeed' is more subdued and hypnotic: a wavering tonescape whose duration depends on whether you play it at 45 RPM or 33 1/3. This reissue reproduces the original release's striking cover image of a human figure painted in blue by Pete Cobb, along with the cryptic flipside of text in many different languages. Health & Efficiency sounds like it's mocking bureaucratic language or the jargon of self-optimization. Some reckon it's a sly nod to Health & Efficiency, the long-running British magazine about nudism and wholesome living first published in the Edwardian era as Health & Vim. In fact, the title is a totally earnest statement from This Heat about the importance of looking after yourself, in line with the Latin maxim mens sana in corpore sano (a sound mind in a sound body). The title track's lyric 'here's a song about the sunshine/dedicated to the sunshine' is the giveaway. A few months after Health & Efficiency's release, This Heat toured the Netherlands. Hayward has spoken about a gig in Amsterdam as a peak experience where everything -- the telepathic musical bond between the group, the receptiveness and energy of the audience -- came together."

TEAL	Love Comes Thru	LP	SPIRITUAL WORLD	SW 015X-LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 Teal return with Love Comes Thru, the trio's nine-track debut album. Expanding their emotionally resonant blend of downtempo trip-pop, the record reaches into street soul, dub, and experimental grooves, marking a confident new chapter for the group. At its core, Love Comes Thru is a reflection on the quiet strength of love -- not through grand gestures, but through the steady presence that carries listeners through uncertainty, change, and connection. Written over the course of a year of bi-coastal collaboration, the album became a testament to the bond Teal share as artists, friends, and family. From the lush synth landscapes of "Aries Moon" to the footwork-inspired pulse of "Time Is Blind," the album explores themes of patience, vulnerability, longing, and intimacy. Standout singles "Kissing in a Dream" and the title track lean into left-field street soul, while stripped-back, 808-driven tracks like "Change Your Mind" and "Anomaly" demonstrate the power of restraint without sacrificing momentum. Building on the group's love of ambient improvisation, Love Comes Thru also features instrumental pieces with percussion by Brandon Valdivia (Mas Aya/Lido Pimienta). The album closes with the sensual "Bubbling," bringing the journey full circle with a reminder that love ultimately comes through in its most embodied, physical form. Love Comes Thru is presented in a deluxe, limited-edition matte-finish, double-embossed jacket with a printed inner sleeve.

KORPUS KRISTI	Stadt der blauen Eier: Selected Recordings and Rarities 1980-1981	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 617CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 With Stadt der blauen Eier: Selected Recordings and Rarities 1980-1981, Tapete Records is releasing a retrospective of Korpus Kristi, one of the early punk bands in West Germany that today is, quite unjustly, less well known. Alongside The Wirtschaftswunder and Die Radierer, Korpus Kristi were part of the so-called "Limburger Pest," which produced some of the most original releases on the West German underground scene in the early 1980s. Spanning a total of 12 tracks, the compilation features single releases, rarities and selected tracks from the 1981 album, finally making the band's brief but remarkable body of work accessible once again. The truth about Korpus Kristi (excerpt from the liner notes accompanying the compilation): "The birth of Korpus Kristi. They claimed to be inspired by the Stooges, but decades later, Bodenstein said in a bar in Hanau, pointing to a concert-poster of the German-American proto punk band The Monks: 'They were the granddaddies of Korpus Kristi, even if we didn't know it back then.' At least when it came to emptying out clubs, they could certainly hold their own against their role models. At Frankfurt's famous Batschkapp, they incited the audience to enthusiastic 'Stop! Stop!' chants; in Wiesbaden, an enraged patron tried to murder singer Bodenstein right on the spot. Their live shows were marked by chaos and raw violence. Even the stage set was terrifying: Barbed wire, oil drums that Bodenstein pounded on like a man possessed, as if they were bones that had to be shattered, crosses from which they hung themselves -- a thoroughly blasphemous spectacle, an exorcism intended to drive out even the last spark of divinity, the last breath of the Holy Spirit that might still linger in the room. And under no circumstances were they to allow the audience to develop any sense of rhythm. As soon as feet and hips began to sway, the bass and drums would smash everything to pieces again, Pulch's saxophone would send the tinnitus soaring to immeasurable heights, and a chainsaw guitar would gnaw its way into the listeners' groins. And if none of that worked, there was always Bodenstein's voice, which wavered back and forth between trilled squeals and roars and seemed to come from everywhere thanks to reverb and echo effects. 'I like that, it really gets me going when they're screaming down there' said Bodenstein, referring to the tormented audience." --Roky Lugosi

HIRANO, MIDORI	The Juniper Tree	CD	VIERNULVIER RECORDS	VIERNULV 019CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 While composing the music for The Juniper Tree, Midori Hirano drew on her own memories of touring Iceland, which included a stop at a waterfall featured in the film and rendered in sound on "Mother's Path." Folktales, like the origins of The Juniper Tree, are often attempts to contend with humans' place in the natural world, with all its mysteries and intricacies, and both the film and Hirano's soundtrack draw their sense of breathless wonder in part from the sensation of being engulfed by one's environment. Margit, played by Björk, possesses a sublime sensitivity to her environment that allows her to receive messages from her mother, who was murdered for their shared inheritance of witchcraft. Hirano captures the relationship between the transcendental awe that is felt as supernatural and the private feelings of being immersed in that experience, creating a musical dialogue between the self and what lies beyond. In the final sentences of her liner notes describing the film's philosophical and feminist throughlines, Anna Bogutskaya says, "what we call Margit's witchcraft is maybe just her willingness to listen." This is the magic of music, and Hirano composes with an alchemist's pen. Just as Keene seems to break down barriers between binary poles, Hirano uses both electronic and acoustic means to communicate the film's emotive cues, uniting approaches she has explored under her own name and the alias MimiCof. There is an understanding that stillness can be understood as peaceful or foreboding, that dissonance and consonance are contextual, that efforts to protect one's own kin can lead to tragic ends. At the film's end the audience sees Margit enthralled with birdsong, understanding it as something deeper, a connection to those she has lost. Through sound, listeners understand what lies beyond sight, beyond convention, and with this new soundtrack they hear the story anew.

WHIMM	No Promotion	LP	W.25TH	W25 020LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/2/2026 "WHIMM formed around the shadowy heart of the Toronto post-punk underground over a decade ago. The partnership between Mounir Al Shami and Andrew Matthews has emitted sporadic musical shards over time, while slowly evolving into something so much bigger than its beginnings. Ideas seep out of every corner of No Promotion, showcasing a burning desire to explore and challenge while delivering very direct sonic offerings. The result is an album that feels as if you took the entire Coil discography and smashed it into pieces, assembling these precious songs from the fragments. Or as if Vangelis beckoned Section 25 to the studio in hopes of recording the score to a seedy film. The resulting LP is in a state of flux -- equal parts motion and decay. Patrick Flegel, of Cindy Lee, welcomed Al Shami and Matthews into REALISTIK Studios in Montreal to engineer half of the tracks for the album, including lending guitar to the opening track 'Five in Decline.' That influence is evident early on, as the first three songs are taken from those sessions. Closing with a final apparition in the key of The Caretaker, 'After the Last Sky (Reprise)' is a return to melody when words lose all meaning. Al Shami and Matthews weave their lyrics throughout, words describing a search for lucidity, and of reactions and reflections. Al Shami -- speaking from the Palestinian diaspora -- ruminates on displacement, both personal and collective. His journey from having 'been without a land and I can still see clearly' in 'Rhymes of December' to a more defiant 'we will be back again, no matter how it ends or where we've been' in 'Returnal' takes a very insular turn on No Promotion. That sense of alienation pulls at the very center of a relationship when land and circumstances separate: 'And after our last breath, all that's left in me is our flesh and fears, your last words would swim for years, you'll never find a home in me." Hearts on the outskirts that know the direction.'"

SHEARER, RACHEL	Te Oro o te Ao	LP	THIN WRIST	TW W-LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2026 Rachel Shearer's Te Oro o te Ao ("The Resounding Of The World") is a bold work of sonic dreaming and remembrance. As a sound artist and composer from Aotearoa, New Zealand, Shearer has long explored the Māori concept of whakapapa; embracing the belief that the whole of creation, past/present/future is a dynamic interconnected movement. With field recordings, electronics, and voice, Shearer creates immersive analogs of earthly processes that move like tumbling avalanches and crashing waves. Subterranean volcanic activity transmutes into super-heated air rising into frequencies beyond human hearing. Shearer posits that consciousness, like the environment, is not a closed system; that the mind is an ecosystem where our thoughts are the "flora" and "fauna" and the perception of sound vibrations in the material world is a gateway to metaphysical realms. Te Oro o Te Ao was first realized as an immersive eight-channel sound installation made in response to a close listening to the earth. It was also released as a limited artist's acetate edition of 10. Thin Wrist presents Te Oro o Te Ao in a vinyl and digital edition mastered by Rashad Becker, Clunk Berlin. Housed in a tip-on gatefold jacket with embossed black paper stock, ink pigment foil stamping, with a mounted booklet in the inner gatefold and printed inner sleeves. Pressed at Optimal, Germany. For over three decades Rachel Shearer has investigated sound as a medium through a wide range of sonic practices -- installations, composing, recording, writing, as well as collaborating as a sound designer and composer for moving image and live performance events. Shearer's work builds on her research which explores practices related to a listening to the earth through Māori and Western frameworks. She has received numerous public commissions for sound art including the permanent nine-channel sound installation The Flooded Mirror on the Auckland waterfront. She has been active as an experimental musician since the late 1980s and has released material with labels Xpressway (NZ), Flying Nun (NZ), Ecstatic Peace (US), Corpus Hermeticum (NZ), Family Vineyard (US) among others. Waha voice performed by Cathy Livermore (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha).

VIRAGEZERO	viragezero	CD	BONGO JOE RECORDS	BJR 126CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/9/2026 viragezero was born on a cold Sunday evening in December, on the way home from a Chris Cohen concert at Geneva's Face Z festival. In the winter night emerged the desire to create a new collective space, nourished by the long drifting journeys of kosmische musik. Initially conceived as a parallel playground bringing together the duo Citron Citron, former members of L'Éclair and musicians from Magic & Naked, the project quickly developed its own gravity. This self-titled debut album sketches a world both familiar and distorted, where everyday landscapes slowly slip into stranger territories. Driven by nervous synths, hazy guitars, shifting electronic textures and rhythms drawing from 1990s trip hop and abstract hip hop, viragezero builds a suspended and immersive music. A music guided as much by sensation as by structure, where repetition becomes a moving force and tensions evolve without ever fully resolving. At the center of the album are Zoé Sjollema's lyrics, drawn from fragments of dreams collected over several years. Her instinctive writing blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, tracing recurring themes of solitude, wandering, exhaustion and disconnection. Rather than telling stories, the songs unfold as emotional states, inhabited by shifting landscapes, distorted memories and fleeting impressions. Somewhere between dream pop, electronica, IDM and spectral songwriting, viragezero delivers a dense and instinctive debut album. A nocturnal and hypnotic record that transforms fragments of reality into constantly shifting sonic matter.

MR. BISON	The Garden of Forgotten Dreams	CD	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 405CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/9/2026 The Garden Of Forgotten Dreams was produced and recorded by the guitarist Mat Barsacchi, mixed by Richard Beherens (Elder/Kadavar/Samsara Blues Experiment) at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin, and mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago and Adam Ayan (Foo Fighters/Pearl Jam/Rolling Stone) in Portland. "The Garden, a magical place where lost dreams don't fade, but grow like silent flowers. Each petal holds an unfulfilled wish, each scent a memory left behind. In this garden, those who enter rediscover parts of themselves they thought lost and understand that nothing should be forgotten if it has touched their heart. The garden is the image that recurs most frequently throughout the album. We chose it as a metaphor for 'refuge,' a place where we can choose to nurture our natural inclinations, let them grow and blossom, but where we can also keep our shadows and our lights hidden. Where our secrets, our most authentic truths, our aspirations and our dreams, can therefore remain guarded until we are ready to reveal them to those who can contain and appreciate them." Also available on black vinyl (HPS 405LP), violet vinyl (HPS LTD-LP), and magenta/blue splatter vinyl (HPS ULTRA-LP).

YUMMY FUR, THE	Everybody Talks About The Weather (Transparent Light Blue and Transparent Yellow Vinyl)	LP	UPSET THE RHYTHM	UTR 178BS-LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/9/2026 LP version. 180 gram "blue sunshine" vinyl (transparent light blue and transparent yellow vinyl). "The Yummy Fur's first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band's original incarnation -- fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999 -- morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown's life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. Everybody Talks About The Weather delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas existing at once, revealing themselves then dipping back into hiding. Recorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), Everybody Talks About The Weather comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows, and seven years after the release of their sorta-greatest hits compilation Piggy Wings (Rock Action). Ten tracks long with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, with a new clarity of sound that allows their ambiguities to come into the light . . . Everybody Talks About The Weather is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe its biggest surprise." --Claire Biddles (2026)

RAHBANI, ZIAD	Ana Moush Kafer (1985)	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 126LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/9/2026 Wewantsounds continues its Ziad Rahbani reissue program with Ana Moush Kafer, a classic album by the Lebanese legend Ziad Rahbani, recorded at his By-Pass Studio in Beirut during the height of the Lebanese Civil War in 1985. Showcasing Rahbani's signature blend of Arabic music infused with touches of jazz-funk and bossa nova, the album has attained cult status over the years. Originally released on cassette, it has never before been available on vinyl. Newly remastered, this edition features the original Relax-In cassette artwork from 1985 and includes new liner notes by Mario Choueiry of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. Ziad Rahbani, who passed away in 2025, remains one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic music and a cultural icon in Lebanon. A musician, composer, pianist, producer and playwright, he helped modernize Arabic music over five decades. The son of composer Assi Rahbani and singer Fairuz, he shaped her late '70s-'80s recordings producing Wahdon and Maarifti Feek, while building a major solo career with classics such as Abu Ali and Houdou Nisbi, which have become cult favorites for a new generation of DJs and music lovers. Released in 1985 in Lebanon, Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of Rahbani's key achievements. It blends Arabic melodic traditions with jazz-funk, bossa nova and Western arrangements. Originally cassette-only, it became one of his most revered releases. Throughout the album, Rahbani's writing reflects the turbulence of wartime Beirut with a blend of sharp social observation, political satire and melancholy. It captures a moment in Lebanese cultural history where experimentation, satire and popular song intersected, giving the album its enduring influence among music lovers. Sung by Rahbani and Sami Hawat, alongside Beirut-based musicians, the album features both Western and traditional Arabic instruments. It balances refined arrangements with lyrical irony, social commentary and political reflection, which remain deeply resonant in today's context in Lebanon. One of the highlights of the album is the song "Shou A'ada Ma Bada," with lyrics by Joseph Harb, which reveals a clear bossa nova influence, while the closing track, "Al Mokawama Al Watania Al Lobnani," offers a deeply human view of war, avoiding patriotic cliché in favor of a nuanced perspective rooted in lived experience. Forty years on, Ana Moush Kafer remains a landmark of Arab music. Wewantsounds presents it on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered and featuring original artwork.

SMITH, KAITLYN AURELIA	Ruin: It's Not Just Music	CD	SOMEONE SPECIAL	SPECIAL 001CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/16/2026 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith returns with Ruin: It's Not Just Music, a new studio album that marks one of the most decisive statements in her creative trajectory. Across the past decade, KAS has established herself as a unique voice in experimental electronic music, a composer and synthesist whose work dissolves the boundaries between ambient electronica, contemporary classical, composition, and immersive sound design. Her new album arrives with a distinctive gravitational pull. The record moves with greater physical force, placing rhythm and impact at the center of its architecture, revealing a more confrontational and embodied dimension of KAS's musical language. Where much of KAS's earlier work explored harmonic environments, the forthcoming album is built around tension and release. Inspired by the sound of drum and bass, breakbeats fracture through dense fields of synthesis, percussive patterns and her signature melodic fragments -- motions that feel closer to the kinetic language of club music than the meditative spaces often associated with her past catalogue. The result is a body of work that feels both recognizably hers and newly charged, music that moves through the body as insistently as it engages the mind. KAS's practice has steadily expanded beyond the expectations placed upon experimental electronic artists, moving between orchestral composition, audiovisual installations, film scoring, and large-scale commissions while retaining the unmistakable sonic signature that defines her work. Her prolific collaborators and creative partners have ranged from Patti Smith and Suzanne Ciani to Danny Elfman, Tycho, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou, Four Tet, Reggie Watts, and Max Richter, while her compositions have appeared in projects with Apple, Chanel, Meow Wolf, the BBC Orchestra, and major film and television productions. On Ruin: It's Not Just Music, that vocabulary becomes more kinetic than ever before. The record draws energy from jungle, drum and bass, and dance-floor focused electronic music while retaining the intricate synthesis and tonal curiosity that have defined KAS's work from the beginning. The result is a record that feels equally at home within club culture, contemporary composition, and the experimental spaces that have long championed her artistry.

Her prolific collaborators and creative partners have ranged from Patti Smith and Suzanne Ciani to Danny Elfman, Tycho, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou, Four Tet, Reggie Watts, and Max Richter, while her compositions have appeared in projects with Apple, Chanel, Meow Wolf, the BBC Orchestra, and major film and television productions. On Ruin: It's Not Just Music, that vocabulary becomes more kinetic than ever before. The record draws energy from jungle, drum and bass, and dance-floor focused electronic music while retaining the intricate synthesis and tonal curiosity that have defined KAS's work from the beginning. The result is a record that feels equally at home within club culture, contemporary composition, and the experimental spaces that have long championed her artistry.

MAKONNEN, TEODROS	Teodros Makonnen With His Organ	2LP	MUZIKAWI	MUZLP 005LP
$43.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/23/2026 Muzikawi presents the first reissue of Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, released in collaboration with Teodros Makonnen under exclusive license. The album has been carefully restored and remastered, and is presented across a double LP, pressed at Optimal Media, and housed in a gatefold sleeve replicating the original sleeve artwork, accompanied by extensive liner notes in English and Amharic, as well as previously unpublished photographs from the archives of Teodros' friend and long-time collaborator Teferi "Bibisha" Mengesha. Some recordings herald the future in ways that are impossible to see in real time. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, by the artist Teodros Makonnen, also known as Teddy Mak, is one of those. Today, electronic sounds, synthesizers, and digital production are taken for granted in Ethiopian music, but in the early 1980s, they were novelties that polarized opinion. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ is a cornerstone of the early digital sounds of Ethiopian music, originally released on cassette only, and has remained more or less unknown outside of Ethiopia until now. It is a pioneering home recording made in Ethiopia, recorded directly to tape in a single take on a Yamaha double-deck keyboard at the residence of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa, recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs, opening new paths for musical dreaming. Even to this day, the story of Teodros Makonnen's legacy has never been properly told. As a keyboardist, producer, arranger, and sound designer, he helped define the digital sound of Ethiopian music in the 1980s and beyond, collaborating with iconic artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Aster Aweke, and Mahmoud Ahmed, among many others. Today's revived global interest in Ethiopian music from the seventies and eighties, alongside a broader resurgence, has changed the reasons for using digital means of music production. They have become tools for musical dreaming. This is where the dreaming began.

$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/23/2026 Wewantsounds reissues Brigitte Fontaine's landmark 1970 Saravah album Comme à la Radio, recorded with Areski Belkacem, Wadada Leo Smith, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
