MASSIVE DREAD	Massive Dread	LP	BURNING SOUNDS	BSR 826LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/2/2026 "This debut album captures Massive Dread at an early stage of his career when he was starting to make a name for himself as a unique voice in reggae. The production has that classic late-'70s roots vibe -- deep basslines, steady drum rhythms, and dub influences mixed with Massive Dread's distinctive vocal style. The album contains a mix of vocal tracks and deejay toasting, showcasing Massive Dread's versatility. His style helped bridge the gap between the roots reggae era and the rising dancehall movement."

ABOU-KHALIL, RABIH	Blue Camel (Blue Vinyl)	LP	ENJA	ENJ 70531LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/2/2026 "Kurt Keefner stated 'Blue Camel is the pinnacle to date of Lebanese oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil's achievement as a Jazzman. In both mood and scope, it can almost be characterized as a new Kind of Blue. Both tense and reflective, it is perfect for listening after midnight. Blue Camel may not be a perfect album, but it demonstrates better than any other that a fusion between jazz and a musical form from another culture is possible and can work to the advantage of both. Plus, it's just great listening.'"

SHEPP & MAL WALDRON, ARCHIE	Left Alone Revisited	LP	ENJA	ENJ 91411LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/2/2026 "'Left Alone' is the legendary theme that Mal Waldron composed for Billie Holiday, for whom he was the last pianist. With Archie Shepp, another admirer of the singer and, like him, a great lover of duets, Waldron revisits some of the tunes associated with this unique voice. Modesty and emotion are present, and while the shadow of the great Billie hovers over this session, it is not the painful and tortured image that listeners often associate with her, but a benevolent figure who communicates to the saxophonist and the pianist an expressive force, a sweetness and a fullness of sound that go straight to the heart, and make a place for themselves there for a long time, right next to the most intimate emotions. Remarkable."

YOUNG, LESTER	Lester Leaps In: Live At Birdland 1951-1952	CD	LIBERATION HALL	LIB 2157CD
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/2/2026 "The never-before-released set captures one of the most influential tenor saxophonists of all time, live at NYC's iconic jazz venue Birdland. It features eight tracks recorded on four different dates in 1951 and '52 for ABC Radio's famed 'Jumpin with Symphony Sid.' Host Sid Torin introduces several of the tracks, one of which, 'Neenah,' includes a shoutout to audience member Billie Holiday who originated the bebop legend's nickname 'Prez' (for 'President of the Tenor Sax'). The backing bands feature pianists John Lewis, Cyril Haynes, and Earl Knight; percussionists 'Papa' Jo Jones and Lee Abrams; bassist Gene Ramey; and trumpeter Jesse Drakes. The album is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and features rare photos with extensive liner notes from jazz historian Scott Yanow."

NOTWIST, THE	Magnificent Fall	2LP	ALIEN TRANSISTOR	N 100LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/2/2026 Magnificent Fall, The Notwist's new rarities compilation, compiles some special and wild moments from this unique German indie group's rich history. They've always snuck gorgeous songs and thrilling remixes onto split singles, extended plays, and other formats, across their career, and pieced together here -- compiled thoughtfully, with sensitivity to flow and the listening experience -- these thirteen selections work as a kind of "shadow narrative" of The Notwist, an alternative index of the possibilities this shape-shifting group uncovered during their time together. They've been smart to let go of chronology when sequencing Magnificent Fall, so the songs here move across phases and stages of The Notwist's career, helmed by brothers Markus and Micha Acher. The Notwist have always been interested in and open to community, and one of the many ways they reach out to others is through the remix. There are three here, sent back to The Notwist from different corners of the world, both aesthetically and geographically. The music on Magnificent Fall traverses varying terrain -- abstract hip-hop, chamber pop, sweet and simple folk song, indietronica, free-floating improvisation. There are several unreleased songs, as well, drawn from across the group's history. Core to it all, though, the thing that makes The Notwist so singular, is the thumbprint of the Acher brothers, their gently poetic way of moving through the world and welcoming other musicians and artists into the fold, expressively and with generosity.

CAMOUFLAGE	Spice Crackers (30th Anniversary Edition)	2LP	BUREAU B	BB 032LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Camouflage are one of the few German bands to have been making music successfully at home and abroad for the last couple of decades. The Great Commandment (1987) and Love Is A Shield (1989) were actually worldwide hits. After four albums, Camouflage felt it was time to experiment. This phase reached its zenith with the album Spice Crackers in 1995 -- the most daring, most interesting work they ever released. Electropop tracks sit side by side with hypnotic, repetitive, spheric tracks. Now, 30 years later, Spice Crackers is finally released on vinyl for the first time! Heiko Maile, Camouflage founder member and producer of Spice Crackers, has this to say about working on the album: "On our previous productions, we started out with just a few songs, worked on these as demos and then went to an external studio to completely re-record them with a producer. Having the idea to produce an album in our own studio, thus giving us more time to experiment, basically wanting to do the whole thing differently, was the beginning of an interminable recording session. Once we got going, surrounded by synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, microphones, a mammoth analogue mixing desk and a few pieces of recording equipment, we simply taped everything that came into our heads. Only a few of these tracks -- I'm deliberately refraining from calling them songs -- ended up on the original CD. It was a very formative and inspiring time for us in terms of album production."

SCHNITZLER, CONRAD	Control	CD	BUREAU B	BB 495CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 "Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control. The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approaches. Tracks 5 and 9, for example, are classic Schnitzler: sparkling cascades of electronic sound particles, interspersed with longer and shorter glissandi, constant movement in all directions. But then there are tracks 1, 8, 11, and 12 -- and here I can only speculate -- where it seems as if Schnitzler wanted to combine a few elements of traditional harmony with his own sound aesthetic in these pieces. And why not? He was completely undaunted by new things. Most important was that the music remained within the framework of his strict overall concept. There is no spacing between the tracks on the original LP, released in 1981 by the DYS label in the US. The A and B sides are originally titled simply 'Control A' and 'Control B', and the thirteen pieces are strung together without interruption. Strange. About half of the tracks on Control are apparently faded in and/or out. This could indicate that Schnitzler either drew on 'overlong' archive material to extract passages suitable for the album, or that he shortened the newly recorded music. Speculation is pointless -- we can no longer ask Schnitzler. In any case, he opted for relatively short pieces averaging three minutes in length, some even shorter, others a little longer. All in all, this creates the impression of sketches. Sketches with sharply defined contours, however: as with almost all his albums, Schnitzler gives us listeners clear information about where he currently resides in his musical universe. For Schnitzler, too, the journey was its own reward, and there were many stops 'on the way to the complete Schnitzler'; he never lingered at any of them for long. His artistic restlessness and curiosity were his lifeblood. And to stay with the metaphor, Control is a strong dose of that elixir." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

SCHNITZLER, CONRAD	Convex	CD	BUREAU B	BB 496CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Convex is one of a series of LPs that Schnitzler released himself in the 1980s. It is one of his LPs that convey virtually no visible information. Only the title is printed in large letters on the cover of Convex, and in tiny letters that are easy to overlook, it says: "Cover Conrad und Richard." The labels on the original LP indicate that one side is called "Convex" and the other "Concav." That's all the information there is. "On Convex, as on many of his other albums, Schnitzler definitely used a sample-and-hold generator (S/H generator), a device that converts sounds stored as desired into random sequences of tones. This is important to know because this album is also non-keyboard music, i.e., it was not played 'by hand'; instead, the experimental setup is: synthesizer -- sequencer -- S/H generator. Whether Schnitzler could foresee the respective results for each piece or whether he let himself be surprised is uncertain. But I believe he let himself be surprised and decided in each case whether to accept the result or not. Because one of the cornerstones of his artistic concept is controlled chance. However, it is not this method that makes Convex so special, but the slow tempo of the music. With one exception, the other pieces are almost sluggishly slow. Schnitzler certainly never had ambient music in mind, as his music is defined throughout by transparency and dynamic movement. However, Convex does meet some of the criteria defined by Eric Satie for 'musique d'ameublement' and also the concept of 'ambient' further developed by Brian Eno: its calmness and apparent uniformity -- both of which require no attention and yet are a pleasant addition to the atmosphere of a room. A prerequisite for this, however, is a discreet volume level. Schnitzler would probably turn in his grave if he knew that I was placing his music in the vicinity of ambient. And of course it's not ambient. With Convex, Schnitzler remains consistently true to himself. The only unusual thing is that he experiments with 'slowness' here. Schnitzler has carefully faded out some pieces, even though they are suitable for filling an entire LP side. If I were to stick with my thought experiment, this would be another characteristic of ambient music. Convex raises questions that cannot be answered with certainty. But that is precisely why Schnitzler's music remains so interesting." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

SWEARING AT MOTORISTS	31 Seasons In The Minor Leagues	CD	BB*ISLAND	BBI 631CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Dave Doughman is the heart and voice behind Swearing At Motorists, who perform and record mainly as a duo. Since 1995, Swearing At Motorists has built a cult following with their raw energy, heartfelt songwriting, and relentless DIY ethos. They've traveled countless miles playing shows worldwide, sharing stages with iconic acts like Guided By Voices, Songs:Ohia, The Breeders, Spoon, Unwound, Brainiac, The Lemonheads, My Morning Jacket, and more. After an 11-year pause, the band is back. Swearing At Motorists has come a long way since its birth in Dayton, Ohio. The late '90s found Swearing At Motorists releasing a slew of 7' EPs on different labels, and after getting repeated plays from John Peel and favorable press worldwide, the band landed a contract with the then new label Secretly Canadian. Swearing At Motorists relocated to Berlin, Germany in 2005, releasing their last LP for Secretly Canadian, Last Night Becomes This Morning the following year before quietly disappearing into the never-ending Berlin night. 8 years later, the band (now with Martin Boeters on drums) resurfaced in Hamburg, Germany, with a new album titled While Laughing, The Joker Tells The Truth, released 2014 on Anton Newcombe's label A Recordings Ltd. 11 years later, the band re-resurfaced in Hamburg Germany, from another hiatus and with another new album, 31 Seasons In The Minor Leagues, self-produced at a studio located in Millerntor Stadion, Hamburg. Interestingly, Doughman has a unique connection to FC St. Pauli, the famed football club from Hamburg. His admiration for the club reflects his passion for underdog stories and authentic outsider spirit elements that are woven into the fabric of his music. Obviously, the album title mirrors this. It's about holding on to dreams (or illusions) even when success fails to materialize. The "31 Seasons" could allude to a whole life full of attempts, setbacks, and small triumphs. Critically acclaimed yet definitely under the radar, Swearing At Motorists remains a beloved staple of indie rock's underground-now roaring back to the stage with new stories to tell.

EICHER, STEPHAN	Spielt Noise Boys (White Vinyl)	LP	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 024BWLP
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 White color vinyl. Reissue of Stephan Eicher's extremely rare early electro punk recordings from 1980. Think Grauzone meets Suicide meets DAF. Taken from a cassette tape released in 25 copies in 1980, these tracks, recorded hastily on a dictaphone and stolen equipment, already hint at the success that Stephan Eicher would enjoy with his brother the following year and the Grauzone project. In short, cheesy synths, haunting vocals, and tortured drum machines -- discover the dark side of Stephan Eicher!

FOREVER PAVOT	Melchior Vol 1	CD	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 190CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Emile Sornin has a robot in his life. It's not love, but it's not friendship either, and Forever Pavot is releasing an album documenting the affair on Born Bad. After a bunch of bold pop studio albums and a small stack of soundtracks, Emile needed a break. To put an end to it, he embarked with handyman extraordinaire Jonas Euvremer on the manufacture of an automaton destined to make his musician's life easier. Melchior, who gave his name to the record, has the face of a ventriloquist's dummy, two plastic left hands, preppy clothes and a primitive logic circuit. This goodie two-shoes cousin of Bender's is supposed to be doing the interviews and deal with socials for Emile. The plan worked admirably: Melchior is a perfect cover-boy, and his very existence has put our man back to work. They set a path for phat electronic ventures (and by the way, mostly English-speaking). Sub- continental bass and massive drums, heavy-footed and unabashed: as much appreciated as unexpected. The half-android shares songwriting credits and vocal parts vocoded to perfection. Not a jealous lad, Melchior makes way for a guest of choice on "UFO" and "Waiting for the sign": Lispector. Julie Margat sings and collaborated on the lyrics for these two bangers that provide a lot of context (robot angst is real). Kumisolo also sent her "Postcard", more vapor than song, unreal musical cotton candy of arrangements. Domotic, who mixes and co-produces, gives a nice spin to "Count to 10," a hip-hop/kraut crossover with a BEAK> flavor. The Forever Pavot, once a big-band, will be touring as a bass/ drums/keys and vocals trio, with Melchior as guest. Record after record, Emile Sornin has become an increasingly literate musical illiterate. When needed, his music can still become a thicket of ancient and modern finds. Forever Pavot may have gone wild, but remains indebted vis-à-vis the golden age of film music. Forebears deluxe Ennio Morricone and François de Roubaix make Hitchcock-style cameos: discreet appearances that you'll watch out for. His new flirt is all but a toxic relationship. Melchior Vol. 1: the robo-bromance is not over yet.

JESSICA93	666 Tours De Periph	CD	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 192CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Jessica93, prodigal bastard of the glorious French squat scene, relocated on Born Bad. Geoffroy Laporte, alone against all odds, alternates bass and guitar to build harsh loops with a drum machine spitting pre-Gulf War patterns. That's where it gets tricky: every musical posse claims him. Grunge, sure, but Jessica doesn't indulge in necrophilia. His circuit is punk, he doesn't dress the part though. Cold wave, the atmosphere fits somehow, but the gear does not. Maybe it's time to give it a rest and let Jessica93 cook his great misery broth on her own, called 666 Tours De Périph (666 laps on the beltway). Witnessing Jessica93 live makes you dread that he'll get up the next morning, drive 200 miles and one nap later kick it again. At the heart of this cultural pentacle painted by French weirdos Bryan's Magic Tears, and Carine Krinator, Jessica93 has built a sound validated by years of chosen vagrancy, birthing bands with joyously stupid monikers, in the humid jungle of small labels. Jessica93's debut album had a track celebrating Omar Little, HBO's gay bandit from Baltimore. This story begins on the beltway, where Florence Rey, accidental copkiller turned to political icon of the '90s. A previous album was haunted by bedbugs, this one is essentially about love, a delicious scourge just as hard to eradicate. The record demonstrates the know-how acquired in loop-by-loop construction of ruins that are pleasant to squat in together. There's your classic doom delicatessen, with bits of heavy metal inside, crafted with the manic care typical of hard wankers. Arthur Satàn, who produced and mixed the album at home in Bordeaux, helped him get his head out of the reverb safe house. And Jessica93 took the opportunity to switch to the dark side of the language: French at last.

Psychedelia alters perception, and from the first track, listeners journey through a timeless sonic space filled with echoes, mysterious atmospheres, and spherical guitar melodies. Lorenz O'Tool initially returned to Australia to work on some new stuff with his partner on drums and co-founder of the project, Jeremy Tayler. The album also features some covers of Television Personalities, two tracks by M.O.T.O., and one by Jeff Clarke of the Black Lips, three influential bands for O'Tool, who is also the guitarist and co singer of the Berlin post-punk Band Die Verlierer.

CLARKE, JEFF	Miracle After Miracle After...	LP	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRD 010LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Miracle After Miracle After... is, in contrast to Jeff Clarke's (The Black Lips/Demon's Claws) previous solo work Locust (BRD 004LP, 2023), recorded in a single session in a forest, more beautifully embellished, but never overloaded. At its heart, this is folk music. Clarke could be mentioned in the same breath as Connie Converse, Daniel Johnston, and Atlas Sound, though such traditionally excellent songwriting makes comparisons both easy to make and inherently reductive.

HUMAN HAIR	Human Hair	LP	DAKSINA	DAK 027LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Limited to 100 LPs. Art by Ira Marcks. Silkscreened by Alan Sherry At SIWA prints. "Human Hair is the duo of Pat Murano and Richard Hoffman, both long running fixtures of the NYC scene, Richard with Sightings, Insayngel, and his recent solo project Organs Obsolete; and Pat with NNCK, Malkuth and his solo alter ego Decimus. Pat was also an auxiliary member of Sightings (one of the best bands to ever come out of NYC!) in the later years of the band and is in a duo with Sightings guitarist Mark Morgan called Key of Shame. Human Hair is another lovely and mutant outgrowth from this shared history. It has all the serpentine and liquid pace you would expect but with a new kind of melancholy I haven't heard in the previously mentioned projects. It's great to hear Richard in such stark relief, his taut and coiled punctuations keeping a kind of slithering sense of time while Pat unfurls vistas that don't exactly spread out as they kind of infinitely zoom in on themselves circling back around and magnifying every little snatch of texture. There's a loose almost psych vibe that, right when you think is gonna settle into a side longer, takes a right-hand turn into some kind of Richard Pinhas on jawharp section that spreads out to the horizon. Side B is (I kind of hate when music writers just mention mash ups of references but I'm not a music writer and when I wrote this in my notes while listening it made too much sense to me to not include. Also I was told that 'anything will suffice'!) P.I.L. playing Ry Cooders Paris Texas soundtrack and I think stands as one of the kind of most 'stranded on an alien planet of nothing' these guys have done. The desolation of space and subsequent tension is accumulative not palpable. It rises with time, slowly, because of all the patience and exploration that Pat and Richard allow for. The lifeline has slipped out of yr hands before you even realize that you're floating in open space. Daksina has really been putting out some amazing records of improvised music that don't sound like what has become the GENRE of improvised music sounds like. It's really personally reinvigorated a lot of my love of improvised music and this Human Hair LP really sits at the top of that." --Bill Nace, 2025

PEOPLE'S PEOPLE	The People's People Present The Spirit Of David	LP	FREDERIKSBERG RECORDS	FRB 013LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Sold out, repress available at the end of 2025...Emerging from the depths of private-press obscurity, The People's People Present The Spirit of David is a remarkable testament to the ambition and discipline of its creators. This singular album, originally recorded in 1974 and released in 1976, marks the first original work by tenor saxophonist Jeff Jones, who also arranged, wrote, and conceptualized the project. That same year, Jones founded The People's People collective and The Voice of the People Publishing Company, using music and the arts as a platform to give voice to the voiceless. Performed in one continuous take, The Spirit of David weaves spiritual jazz with elements of soul, world music, and electric funk, producing a hypnotic, emotive soundscape that resonates with the era's social unrest and a longing for unity and transcendence. The band -- featuring Emmons Porter on bass vocals, Jack Spinovich on drums, Leonard Franklin on guitar, Ray Vega on percussion and congas (not the trumpeter of the same name), and Steve Espanosa on piano -- delivers a deeply cohesive and textured performance that transcends its time. Now reissued by Frederiksberg Records -- a label founded in 2013 by Danish video journalist Andreas Vingaard in New York -- the album's elusive history only deepens its mystique, inviting renewed exploration. That mystique is further illuminated in the extensive story found on the album insert, written by guitarist and composer Karl Evangelista, whose detailed liner notes provide essential context and insight into the album's creation and cultural significance. From the liner notes by Karl Alfonso Defensor Evangelista: "(Jeff) Jones had musicians commit to three years of preparation, and he was a harsh taskmaster; music was drilled -- 'like the army,' as Jones describes it. Participants were more or less forbidden from taking paying gigs in the interim, and the bandleader, saving most of his capital for studio time, could not afford to feed or pay the band. The ensemble was so thoroughly rehearsed by the time of the session that the entire record was performed in one take, and the album's myriad breaks and deft orchestration changes were accomplished without visual cues."

NUSANTARA BEAT	Nusantara Beat	CD	GLITTERBEAT	GB 180CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 The highly anticipated debut album from Amsterdam-based Indonesian psych-folk ensemble Nusantara Beat has finally arrived. Having built a rapidly rising reputation through captivating live performances and a string of acclaimed 7" singles (Bongo Joe Records), this self-titled album powerfully extends an already potent musical vision. A mesmerizing collection of eleven original tracks, Nusantara Beat delves deep into the group's Indonesian ancestral roots, and thrillingly weaves together hypnotic folk melodies, vintage Indo-pop, pulsating psychedelic grooves and contemporary sonic textures. Nusantara Beat grew out of Amsterdam's vibrant music scene, with several of its members previously playing in Dutch groups including EUT, Jungle by Night and the Turkish psych ensemble Altin Gün. But it was the allure of exploring Indonesian sounds that cemented their alliance. Released in 2023, "Djanger" is a beloved song describing the movements of a Balinese dancer. "Kota Bandung," also released in 2023, is a 1970s classic describing the capital city of West Java. And 2024's "Mang Becak" is another '70s pop track based around a conversation between a woman and a becak (bicycle rickshaw) driver, delivered in Sundanese, the local language of West Java. Across these three singles, Nusantara Beat paid heartfelt tribute to the tradition of "Sunda Pop" -- the Indonesian pop sensation that, from the 1960s onwards, blended traditional Sundanese music with contemporary pop sounds such as psychedelia, surf music and funk. Nusantara Beat have staked out a daring place in modern music, paying homage to the tradition of Sunda Pop, while reinvigorating it for the 21st century with pristine production techniques, modern synthesizers and deep grooves. Now, with their self-titled debut album, Nusantara Beat have gone one step further, writing, recording and producing eleven scintillating original songs that have their roots deep in tradition while stretching out into bold new worlds. The ethereal mood of the traditional Javanese and Balinese gamelan percussion ensemble can be heard to striking effect, underpinning the heavy twang of a surf guitar and whooshing synth sirens. And, throughout the album, samples of Balinese gamelan instruments add extra depth, along with the sounds of traditional instruments such as the kecapi zither, the kendang drum and Balinese gongs. Most of the lyrics -- written in English and translated into Indonesian -- deal with the complexities of modern love, with a bittersweet pop sensibility perfectly suited to Megan's gorgeously delicate vocal style. Atmospheric, mesmerizing and timeless, it's a perfect example of the magic Nusantara Beat weave. Nusantara Beat is the sound of an utterly unique musical collective, forging new ground with a breathtaking freshness and a seductive sense of folk history that echoes through the decades.

MUDLOW	Run Thru The Cover Crop	CD	JUKE JOINT 500	JJ 5019CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Limited to 500 copies. A swamp-noir reworking of roots, blues, and outsider gems. Brighton's swamp-noir stalwarts Mudlow return with Run Thru the Cover Crop, a full-length LP of cover versions released via acclaimed German label JukeJoint500. Long known for their slow-burning, smoke-hung blend of blues, jazz, and Southern Gothic storytelling, Mudlow take a sharp left turn here -- offering up ten carefully chosen reinterpretations that reflect the dark undercurrents and idiosyncratic soul of their influences. But this is no paint-by-numbers tribute. With Run Thru the Cover Crop, the band doesn't so much cover songs as inhabit them -- dragging each track down into the lowlands and dressing it in Mudlow's signature grit and shadow. The album's selections span decades and genres, but they're unified by tone and texture: lonesome, bruised, and cinematic. The album cover -- a stark, twilight-drenched image of silhouetted poles and crows perched on power lines -- captures the desolate, timeless feel of the music inside. Run Thru the Cover Crop plays like a haunted mixtape discovered in the glovebox of a car that's been abandoned since the '70s. The album follows 2022's Bad Turn and marks a bold addition to their growing discography -- leaning into tradition while twisting it into new, stranger shapes. For fans of Tom Waits, Morphine, Solomon Burke, Kelly Joe Phelps, and anyone drawn to the murky end of the river.

PORCELAIN HAMMER	Born For Years	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1012LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Porcelain Hammer formed in 2018 for the purpose of expanding the direction of Ben Miller's multiphonic guitar work into a full ensemble. This new direction in Miller's music is the melding of art, psych, world and no-wave with lyrical hypnagogia. Miller plays a modified Gibson Kalamazoo that has an inverted neck pick-up over the first fret which is output, along with the bridge pickup, to stereo. Contact mics are placed on the body and headstock and are also split stereo. Yet when a string section and a rhythmic, idiosyncratic percussionist becomes part of the ensemble, what was once instrument perfection becomes a universal sound. This sound combines an understanding of popular music with modern composition to deliver a sound that is urgent and accessible without the dystopian elements destroying the composition in the process. The composition line makes it through the chaos only to meld into a new form as the song cycle progresses. Soliloquies travel through the movement issuing instruction and the violin and cello add high wire tension. Composition as an act of interpersonal communication yields a socialism that inspires generations of creativity. Ben Miller has accomplished this by welcoming violinist Mike Khoury, cellist Deanna McMullen Lee, and drummer Mike List to join him in this creating this sound. Modern life influences isolation. This sound does the opposite. It shows how music can bring together while still exploring the reaches of experimentation but still show a reverence for popularity done differently.

FELLAHIN	Live at Space Mountain	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1013LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 The word "Fellahin" is derived from the Arabic for tiller or cultivator. Fellahin, as a group, is a violin, wind, and percussion format for violinist Mike Khoury. For Live at Space Mountain, Khoury travelled to Miami to work with Kenny Millions (Keshavan Maslak) on clarinet and guitar and Steve Bristol on percussion. These long format live pieces allow for cultivation and exploration of the possibilities in improvisation. The evasive moment where improvisation develops into something else. It is fleeting, but the desire to attain it is effervescent. That enthusiasm is complicated by time and the oppression of pursuing artistic endeavors, but it may not be indicative of a weathering of the soul. These experiences make the artists uniquely qualified to handle these moments -- a tip of the hat, as if hope is a strategy. Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer/choreographer Leyya Tawil. Former Detroiter, Kenny Millions (aka Keshavan Maslak), is a free music veteran having led groups with John Lindberg, Sonny Murray, and a litany of downtown stalwarts like Phillip Glass, Rhys Chatham and Laurie Anderson. Steve Bristol is one of Miami's best kept secrets. A stunning percussionist and pianist, Bristol is also a producer known for his work with Kool Keith having produced the last session of proto filthy rap, Blowfly, with a cast of free jazz giants. Space Mountain may be terrifying, but that fear compels the listener to seek out other possibilities, some of which are created only if you cultivate them for yourself.

KHOURY/SEHNAOUI/YASSIN	TAQATO3	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1014LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 This is improvised sound that is based in the heritage and the heart of Mike Khoury (violin), Sharif Sehnaoui (guitar, percussion, bouzouki) and Raed Yassin (bass). TAQATO3 was recorded live with no overdubs in Bustrous Palace in Beirut, still surviving despite a civil war, foreign incursion, and the 2020 Beirut harbor explosion. In 2018, Khoury, Sehnaoui, and Yassin found themselves together following the Irtijal Festival. TAQATO3 is executed at the very precipice of improvisation but captures the spirit of the palace and the essence of the moment. The sonics fill the recording. It seems almost in unison. The tension is palpable, but the pieces seem to breathe with an intensity that writhes with composure. This exchange occurs between the musicians and the space. It doesn't seem hyperbolic to suggest that a collective consciousness of the people of Beirut can be heard in these pieces. Khoury, who is also featured on Porcelain Hammer's Born For Years, and Fellahin's Live at Space Mountain, has worked in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer choreographer Leyya Tawil. Sehnaoui is one of the principals behind Beirut's long-running Irtijal Festival of Improvised Music and is a key member of A-Trio with Yassin and trumpeter Mazen Kerbaj and the ensemble Karkhana. Yassin is a bassist and visual artist. His work often examines narratives within a collective context. He is currently based in Berlin where he has his art practice and production company. In absolute terms, all improvisation is based upon previous endeavor, TAQATO3 is a moment or clarity for and between each musician on this masterful recording.

YOOFEE TRIO, MOSES	Ocean	LP	LEITER	LTR 029LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Having built an impressive following on the back of live performances and social media, Berlin's Moses Yoofee Trio shared their impatiently awaited debut mini-album Ocean in November 2023. Released by Nils Frahm's LEITER label, it contains five tracks and was praised by the press and audiences alike. The trio -- awarded the German Jazz Prize for Live Act of the Year in 2024 -- responded to constant demand by releasing their acclaimed debut as a limited-edition vinyl. After the first pressing sold out in no time, the three are now following up: Ocean is once again available on vinyl. The trio -- pianist/keyboardist/producer Moses Yoofee, bassist Roman Klobe-Baranga and drummer Noah Fürbringer -- has lit up Europe's clubs and venues over recent years with astonishing, almost obscenely tight live shows. Turning as much to RnB, hip hop and soul as more traditional jazz sources, the tunes on Ocean reflect the spontaneity, inspiration and instinctive refinement of their performances. The deliciously frantic title track and increasingly ecstatic "Minor Issues" stand in stark contrast to "At Ease's" restrained complexity, while "Fragile's" hypnotic rhythm betrays their love of hip-hop and the lush "Richmond" is driven by a deliciously low-strung groove before shifting up a gear for its climax. "Everybody loves fusion," the band agree, "even if they don't admit it," but that's only one element of the trio's sophisticated style, with Moses' exceptional keyboard skills illuminated by Roman's fluid bass lines and Noah's eloquent drum patterns.

Co-produced by ganavya (Daughter of a Temple) and LEITER co-founder Felix Grimm, it was recorded at Berlin's Funkhaus with a stellar cast: Grammy-nominated Jai Uttal, bassists Doug Weiss and Ben Hazleton, harpist Miriam Adefris, pianist Jay Verma, and Manizeh's daughter Mahku Rimer. The eight tracks -- including a touching reinterpretation of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" -- are musical prayers blending Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Hindu, and Tibetan traditions. "Mahku" means "eclipse" -- a symbol of unity and transformation. It's also the name of Manizeh's grandmother, whose spiritual legacy lives on through this music.

BRINDUS, NICOLAE	Match/Soliloque 1&4/Antifonia	CD	METAPHON	METAPHON 025CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Romanian avant-garde composer, Nicolae Brînduş (1935-2023), studied piano and composition at the National University of Music in Bucharest. From 1969 to 1980 he attended the Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt and later he also worked at the IRCAM in Paris and GMEB in Bourges. His compositions have been performed worldwide. This album, originally released on Electrecord's RCM (Romanian Contemporary Music) series in 1986, provides a selection of works which belong to his cycle PHTORA (1968-1972). The cycle comprises five pieces which are five degrees of structuring collective improvisation, leaning towards the spectralist tradition. It's probably the most eccentric record in the whole RCM series, offering a mesmerizing collage of organized cacophony, as a massive but subtly layered whirlwind of abstract orchestral improvisations, Romanian picturesque folklore and free jazz with extensive use of tape manipulation and reverberation. This reissue comes with the beautiful original sleeve artwork by Ana Golici who designed many sleeves for Electrecord.

They create fascinating and uplifting soundscapes using a surprising collection of instruments, including violin, saxophone, live electronics, gyil (marimba), mbira (thumb piano), asalato (two shakers connected by a string), and electric guitar. If as a listener you allow yourself to be immersed in it, the music and the emotional depth of its performers will transport you through layers of memory and subconsciousness. As is true throughout, Dream Walking is the ultimate expression of listening, of musicians so tied together as an ensemble that musical ideas pass from one to another effortlessly, creating music that transcends.

MARY SUE AND THE CLEMENTI SOUND APPRECIATION CLUB	Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword	LP	RUCKSACK RECORDS	RSRECS 018LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 This is what you get when an emcee/producer is fed on a diet of abstract hip-hop, Southeast Asian samples, and Taoist folklore. Together with the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club (a five-piece band of up-and-coming musicians schooled in jazz from the local scene in Singapore), Mary Sue melts samples with live instrumentation on Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword. At the core of the album is the tale of a time-traveling oracle, struggling to find meaning in the modern world-where ancient wisdom feels fragile, and truth is ever-shifting. A reinterpretation of idioms shapes its journey, where spiritual pursuits feel performative, and where the weight of the past clashes with an uncertain future. The music mirrors this tension: phrases of Gamelan music dissolve into smoky brass, spectral melodies unravel over off-kilter drums, and time bends through layered textures. Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword is both a reckoning and a dream, where echoes of the past find new life in the chaos of now. A porcelain shield shatters on impact; a paper sword folds before it cuts. It's about the constant, fragile push-and-pull between aesthetics and money, tradition and progress, meaning and spectacle. Featuring Agung Mango and Nakama.

$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/9/2026 Vivid Visions is a mind-bending journey through modern indie rap, crafted by Irish producer The Expert. Drawing inspiration from surreal dreamscapes like Twin Peaks and The Monkees' Head, the album fuses psychedelic textures with gritty lyricism from 21 guest MCs across generations and continents.

Whether it's Blu, Buck 65, or rising stars like AJ Suede, each voice adds a distinct shade to this sonic trip. Far more than a beat tape or compilation, Vivid Visions feels like an audio film: immersive, cinematic, and packed with personality. It's a celebration of indie rap's present and future, stitched together by one of its most imaginative producers.

ARDLEY, NEIL	Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows	2LP	ANALOGUE OCTOBER RECORDS	AOR 003ST-LP
$76.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 The definitive 2LP reissue of a landmark in British jazz fusion. Analogue October Records presents the long-awaited reissue of Kaleidoscope of Rainbows, Neil Ardley's 1976 masterpiece, originally released on Gull Records. Produced by Neil Ardley and recorded at London's famed Morgan Studios, the sessions were engineered and mixed by Martin Levan, capturing one of the most ambitious and beloved works in British jazz. Following the acclaimed reissues of Courtney Pine's Journey to the Urge Within and Neil Ardley's Harmony of the Spheres, this third release confirms Analogue October as one of today's most meticulous and exciting reissue labels. Commissioned for the 1975 Camden Jazz Festival, Kaleidoscope of Rainbows is structured as a seven-part suite, each movement reflecting a color of the spectrum. Ardley's composition weaves together jazz improvisation, progressive rock energy, and orchestral elegance in one of the most imaginative British jazz recordings of the era. Featuring Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Tony Coe, Trevor Tomkins, and Geoff Castle, the album is a who's who of the UK's vibrant 1970s jazz scene. For this definitive edition, Analogue October worked directly from the original Gull master tapes. Mastering was entrusted to Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, using his renowned half-speed process to extract every detail and dynamic from Ardley's score. To give the music the headroom it deserves, the reissue has been expanded to a deluxe 2LP set, pressed on the highest-quality vinyl at Record Industry in Haarlem, Netherlands. The result is a presentation that finally does justice to the scope and brilliance of Ardley's vision. The artwork has been meticulously restored from the original film elements, ensuring a sleeve of unmatched vibrancy and fidelity. Inside, a 12-page booklet printed on heavyweight card features an in-depth essay on Neil Ardley and the making of Kaleidoscope of Rainbows, written by Jazzwise magazine editor Mike Flynn, alongside rare photographs from the period. As with every Analogue October release, Kaleidoscope of Rainbows has been curated and produced by label founder Craig Crane with a collector's eye for detail and a deep respect for the music's legacy. This reissue is not only the definitive vinyl edition of one of the great British jazz fusion albums -- it also continues the label's mission to restore and celebrate the most vital recordings of the era.

ATA RECORDS	The Library Archive Vol. 1	LP	ATA RECORDS	ATA 020LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 The spirit of KPM, DeWolfe, and I Marc 4 distilled in a lockup garage in Leeds. The funky, atmospheric, evocative and sometimes downright weird output of companies such as DeWolfe, Cavendish, Burton and the ubiquitous KPM have always been a guiding inspiration for ATA Records, as evidenced in the spooky soundtrack works of The Sorcerers, the big band brass of The Yorkshire Film & Television Orchestra and even in the soul-jazz of The Lewis Express (Theme From The Watcher). Everything released on ATA is written and guided by the label heads Neil Innes and Pete Williams, who frequently dip their toes in the Library pond while working on other projects. These occasional one-off tracks have accumulated over the past few years and have now found a home on the first volume of an ongoing series: The Library Archive. Recorded using the same techniques and equipment used to create the now legendary catalogues of music sold to the film and television industry of the '60s & '70s, The Library Archive could easily sit alongside the plain minimalist covers of KPM or Telesound. The fierce Brass of "Whack, Slap & Blow" and "Kaye Okay" could both be a Keith Mansfield cut, acting as a theme tune to a glamorous Saturday night TV show circa 1972. "Duck Strut" is a cheeky slice of bass driven Brit-funk, Muted horns and flute adding an element of Quincy Jones amongst the grooving drums and percussion. "The Needle Nose," "Midnight Heist" and "Wiretap" are amongst the more cinematic tracks on the album. Moody and atmospheric, they conjure up images of dark alleys, shadowy figures and dead letter drops. "Wigged Out" channels the wonky organ weirdness of Italian library legends I Marc 4 while "Nuclear Wind I & II" use Moog and Mellotron as electronic counterpoint to ethereal voices. "Siren's Sea's" acoustic interlude conjures up images of distant clifftops, gossamer vocals enticing you onto the rocks before album closer "Planet Nine" traverses the cosmos.

BOMAN/TRENSUM TRIBE, AXEL	LUZ/Quest for fire IN DUB!	LP	STUDIO BARNHUS	BARN 099LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Axel Boman's critically acclaimed double album LUZ/Quest For Fire from 2022 gets a remix and dub treatment from one of Scandinavia's finest reggae-and-beyond soundsystems, Trensum Tribe. Having been heavily inspired by Mad Professor's work for Massive Attack since a young age, a project like this had been a dream of Axel Boman's for decades. There is a certain freedom that comes with remixing, where you can step outside yourself as a producer and take risks and chances you might not in your own work, and Trensum Tribe really took an adventurous new path when they approached this music. On this homage to soundsystem and rave culture, jungle, dub, disco and house all become best friends in front of a huge stack of homemade speakers, standing tall on fresh dew in a Swedish forest on a cold summer night.

On the flip side, "Siilent," composed with Jo Burke, dives into darker dub territory, inspired by a late-night Geneva dancefloor and shaped by the ensemble's signature instrumental finesse. Two tracks from different roots, united by the same drive for organic power and musical vertigo.

Over the years, Electric Orange has become known above all for their intense live improvisations and atmospherically dense studio albums, which range from electronic sound experiments to heavy, rocking passages. The band has earned a firm place in the international psychedelic and spacerock scene and is now considered one of the most exciting representatives of contemporary Krautrock.

URUBORO	Close Position	CD	DISASTERS BY CHOICE	CDNUY 026CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Pierluigi Foschi and Cosimo Fiaschi (URUBORO) met in 2017 in Siena and immediately began playing together, sharing a deep interest in musical improvisation. Over the years, they have collaborated in various ensembles, including Nicolò Faraglia's Smòs Octet (Aut Records, 2019) and the Tabula Rasa Ensemble (Centripeta, 2024), performing in prestigious contexts such as the Micat in Vertice concert series by the Accademia Chigiana and at the Italian Cultural Institute in Berlin. Close Position marks their first project as a duo, premiered at Tempo Reale (TRK Sound Club, October 16, 2024). The live performance involves the use of samples, as the composed balances require multiple timbral layers to be active simultaneously. The closeness in pitch and the mimicry between instruments highlight the psychoacoustic phenomenon of beating: in fact, the auditory system does not allow people to hear two very close frequencies at the same time, but rather perceives first one and then the other, generating actual pulsations that exist only within the perceptual system of the listeners. The live performance therefore offers a subjective and unique experience for each individual, as it depends on the listener's position in space, as well as their focus and sensitivity.

MUGURUZA, FERMIN	Madrid 15-02-2025: Akelarre Antifacista	3LP	ELKAR	EL 1082LP
$64.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 The musical legacy of a night that will live on for years. The 40th anniversary roar. Under the title Akelarre Antifascista ("Anti-Fascist Witches' Coven," or "Anti-Fascist Celebration"), in a reference to the legendary Akelarre, a wild gathering of Basque witches, this album distils all the intensity, sweat and collective excitement of a night when thousands of voices joined together to celebrate not just a career, but a way of seeing art as resistance. On 15th February 2025, Madrid saw more than just a concert: it was a collective ritual, an anti-fascist celebration in which thousands of voices came together as one to celebrate the tenacity of a voice that never surrendered. Four decades after lighting the fuse of combative rock in Euskal Herria, the Basque Country, Fermin Muguruza chose the capital of Spain, a city that closed its doors to him so many times and that he has described as "the heart of the beast," to make the definitive record of his 40th anniversary tour. The result is Akelarre Antifascista, a live album that distils the history of a musical and political resistance that has spanned generations, languages and frontiers. The concert, sold out with 15,000 people, was an explosion of energy, memory and future. Right from the first chord, the Sports Palace of Madrid became an open setting, a free territory where bodies, rhythms, languages and flags mixed freely.

Two months later, Erantzun was released. The bassist was Txarly, who fit in perfectly with the band's dynamic, without any problems. This second album consolidated the band.

LANCASTER, BYARD	Us	LP + 7"	SOUFFLE CONTINU RECORDS	FFL 094LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, Byard Lancaster met some feisty friends: Sonny Sharrock, Dave Burrell and Ted Daniel. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared with the Sunny Murray Quintet, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of Albert Ayler. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: It's Not Up To Us. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met Jef Gilson, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: Us, Mother Africa, Exactement, and Funny Funky Rib Crib. Us, the first of the four records, was recorded on November 24th, 1973 with Sylvin Marcon electric bass and the evergreen Steve McCallon on drums. On the album, the trio works from the John Coltrane model; free jazz shook up by the timely contributions of the bassist, followed by a mesmerizing atmospheric music. Then, Lancaster delivers a sinuous solo path, which is a reminder of his unique tone. On the album's companion single, the trio launches into great black music of a different genre which would lead the clairvoyant François Tusques to claim that Byard Lancaster is an "authentic representative of soul/free jazz." This is the first ever stand-alone vinyl reissue of Us. Carefully remastered and restored by Gilles Laujol. Graphic design by Stefan Thanneur. Includes four-page booklet with rare and unpublished photos 425GSM Frovi Brown Board Heavyweight 180 gr. LP with bonus 7". Officially Licensed from Palm/Geneviève Quievreux.

VA	Mambo Calypso (2025)	LP	GROSSO! RECORDINGS	GR 022-2LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Zombie Club presents a reedition of Mambo Calypso another volume of sonic Caribbean Cruise. Following the approach of the first volume and understanding the Caribbean as a region is not limited to a strictly geographical demarcation but rather a demographic and cultural space where countries, islands and coastal areas may fall into a common Mare Nostrum even arrives in New Orleans. The influence of African drum and the "Cuban clave" makes different music beyond its specific components be they Latinos, Anglos or Frenchie's -- look at themselves and recognize a certain family. This is not a coincidence, since the slave trade brought African music from the port of Havana to Cartagena de Indias, Nassau, Port-au-Prince, Salvador de Bahía and the southern United States. The same Blackness, the same rhythm, the same festive mood, spirit of resistance and struggle. And so, Arsenio Rodriguez can be heard without jumps next to a Calypso of Blind Blake, or a tasty Pacho Galán's coastal Cumbia crossover with Dave Bartholomew's Mambo or a Latin Swing of Lalo Guerrero, where the Dominican Merengue sounds Joseíto Mateo in line with that of its Haitian neighbor Nemour Jean Baptiste. A very spicy musical "melting pot," a gumbo of percussion and languages, to enjoy and dance. Re-board the Zombie Club Cruise, will not be disappointed. Also featuring Tito Rodríguez & His Orchestra, Benny Moré, The Duke of Iron, Trío Serenata, Mongo Santamaría, Lord Power & Trentos Spence, Celia Cruz y Sonora Matancera, Alvin "Red" Tyler, and Cortijo y su Combo.

"This is the fourth volume in our series on the Roots of Salsa. The main criterion was to pick tracks that sounded adequate for today's DJs to play at a gig or were sufficiently interesting (or enough of a surprise to fans of the later version) to merit inclusion. The other measuring stick was that they needed to come from the old-school, before the more modern era (from 1962 on) and all of its recording innovations and marketing strategies. For now, listen to these dozen gems and then go back to their more familiar cousins from recent times and compare and contrast, and we're sure you'll be enlightened and entertained." --Pablo E.

REMIGI, FRANCESCA	Witchess	CD	HORA RECORDS	HORA 021-2511CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Witchess is an experimental concept album by drummer and composer Francesca Remigi, which blends music, spoken words, and political concepts together to explore themes of feminism, social justice, and historical memory. Drawing on the radical voices of Angela Davis and Silvia Federici, the album confronts the intersections of gender, race, and capitalism, tracing the roots of gender violence from witch-hunt to today's systemic economic inequalities. Through edgy compositions and spoken excerpts, the music calls for a feminism that is deeply intersectional and transformative, not merely inclusive. Each track becomes a sonic essay -- reflecting on the erasure of women, the colonial legacy of patriarchal violence, and the role of art and music in revolutionary movements. Combining improvisation with political urgency, Witchess offers not only a listening experience but a space for critical reflection and collective liberation.

The Sessions IV LP contains instant live compositions (about 80 min of music) from the current TD line-up Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane recorded from the Saturday and Sunday concerts at the E-Live Festival in Oirschot, The Netherlands in October 2018. 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Tangerine Dream bandleader Edgar Froese's passing. Thorsten Quaeschning has been the bandleader since 2015, and in 2025 he celebrates his 20th Anniversary of joining Tangerine Dream. In their imperial years of the 1970s, Tangerine Dream's live concerts were an electronic exploration, improvised and different every night, with little or no relationship to their smash hit albums, which were similarly esoteric. As the 1980s dawned, their recorded work contained more recognizable themes and they scored some of the biggest films of the decade (Risky Business, Firestarter, Near Dark, Thief, Sorcerer). Now, they are returning in part to those pioneering days, and every show includes a section of improvisation, different every night. The best improvisations are being released as Sessions, and Invisible Hands Music is proud to release them out on deluxe double vinyl mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell."

RUEHLEN, CECYL	Oozetones/Fleshscapes	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1015LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 A chaotic vortex of inner worlds falling into disarray, Oozetones/Fleshscapes reflects a decade long refinement in Cecyl Ruehlen's idiosyncratic approach to improvising, installation, and sound engineering as a method of multifaceted composition. An exercise in mania, the album is saturated with dense fields of phantom soundings, sonic toilet flushes, dripping mouths, screaming horns, earworms, and ego-dissolving scattershot. The ooze, or the psychic warbling that underlies all of Nature, takes shape, or perhaps deforms, through the erosion of background and foreground, evading category through sudden escapes past elusive doorways, crushing gates, flickering envelopes, and walls of thought. The slippages that lead the ear to moments where quietude enters the body are equally as unsettling and pulse with nervous rapture. Cecyl Ruehlen (b. 1984) is an intermedia artist, composer, educator and curator. While he has led a relatively nomadic life across the US, Ruehlen has made his home in the Sonoran Desert, morphing iterative actions, collaborative projects, and varying recording processes into a topological contortion with an array of chimeric instruments and extraterritorial sound forms. His forensic mode of composing is guided by deep listening and meteoric super-impositions that distort, abstract, decompose and explode internal and salvaged materials, shaping a practice that is as much drifting through temporary obsessions as it is devotional and steadfast in study. His prolific and heavily collaborative art life has placed him as a central node of underground and experimental scenes in the western United States in recent years, pouring forth countless albums, performance ventures, shifting monikers, and cultural synergies, largely through his operating of a label, DIY spaces, teaching, and touring sporadically since the late '00s.

MONYPENY AND KEVIN CORCORAN, DEREK	Abacomancy	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1016LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Abacomancy (defined as "a form of divination based on the interpretation of the patterns in dust, dirt, silt, or sand") is the first record by the duo of Derek Monypeny and Kevin Corcoran. Monypeny and Corcoran have a decades-long personal and musical relationship; they played in the free-improv trio DMPH with the late tenor saxophonist Chad Stockdale, who released a 7-inch on Stockdale's Weird Forest label in 2010. Abacomancy is the result of a one-day recording session in Monypeny's adopted town of Joshua Tree, CA in the spring of 2022. Entirely improvised, the tracks display an impressively wide variety of approaches/moods/emotions: from blistering Sharrockian skronk (Part One) to meditative Eastern-influenced shimmer (Part Three, which features Monypeny on shahi baaja), to dark, foreboding long-form drone (Part Five). There's a remarkable synergy at work here; particularly impressive is Corcoran's highly sympathetic and textural playing on the quieter, more drone-based tracks. Monypeny, whose free-improv guitar playing has not been much documented on record, presents a gamut of sounds and dynamics, taking Abacomancy far beyond a typical document of a high-energy/free-blowing session. Shortly after the Abacomancy recording session, Corcoran returned to the Mojave Desert to make location sound recordings and photographs while staying in an off-the-grid research cabin. Following lines etched in the land by atmospheric forces and by traces of human infrastructure, Corcoran took a series of walks to observe and immerse in the desert landscape. Mojave Traces, a photographic book included with Abacomancy, collects compositions found in the weathered scatter of stratigraphic surfaces and the eerie stillness of industrial and agricultural disuse in expansive spaces.

DESCENDING PHARAOHS	Ritual of Light	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1017LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Ritual of Light is the first full length from Descending Pharaohs. Recorded in mid-2022, it marks the band in its first year as a trio with a sound that is mainly implemented by the conventions of guitar, bass, and drums and enhanced by rich textures created by Turkish sazbaglama, greek tzoura, and oud as well as drone-driven electronics. Their influences run deep in the realms of '70s electric Arabic/Anatolian, spiritual jazz, and krautrock, but they project these influences towards a modern translation to produce a sound and vocabulary that transcends these collective influences. There is a primal nature to the songs that captures the ethnographic post-punk excursions of Savage Republic or the Sun City Girls, and the more sinister sides of the Krautrock worlds of Ash Ra Tempel or Amon Duul II. The Pharaohs are quite heavy in a traditional sense of the word, but also bring the compositional complexity and raw power of amped up Eastern scale workouts that are rarely executed without pretension by American musicians. The creative dynamic between Theo Khoury, a bassist/oudist of Palestinian descent who grew up consuming as much UFO and NWOBHM as he did George Wassouf, and Ricardo Esway, a guitarist with disparate influences that can be heard clearly through a vaguely third stream filter, is well-versed in Omar Khorshid and a veteran of post-punk projects and live gamelan orchestra, results in vivid multimovement soundscapes that animate future folklores, complete with casts of characters, dialogues, and story arcs that elicit a reaction from the listener. Together, the band takes on half-structured and half-improvisational passages that are ultimately accessible yet still maintain one foot within the abstract. These songs can often take on a dark modal character that is vanquished by a dirty, angular ferocity.

WILLIAMS JR. AND DEREK MONYPENY, TURNER	Drueling	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1018LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Drueling is the first meeting of Turner Williams Jr. and Derek Monypeny, two American pickers of the avant underground known for their deep excursions on the shahi baaja, a 15-string electric keyboardzither of modern Indo-Japanese origin. Drueling is a dialectic of twang. Williams hails from the American South and Monypeny from the Southwest. Country fried humid misterioso meets bone-dry waveforms stretching skyward. These sessions occurred in Marseille, France on a limestone crest above the Mediterranean, evening and morning in early Spring. Following a long correspondence, Monypeny met Williams at his adopted home under crackling powerlines and looming electrical towers. Nominally a duo record, this slab presents the dissolve and dialogue of 30 strings blurring into one, suggesting the translucent blur of '60s Cale/Conrad and the randomized grace of Oval tripping over Chet Atkins on a peyote toot with Jerry Reed or Les Paul. Their wide open third-minded automatism honors the history of their instruments with a heavy dose of subversion in Sun City Girl's anti-tradition of respectful disrespect. Who wants to hear a couple of yankee corndogs playing "proper" shahi baaja in 2025? Drueling marks the spot where sunblind stupor meets porchzorch faceoff and the pupils dilate into gaping maws that drool in stereo.

$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Renowned American saxophonist David Binney -- a leading figure in the alternative jazz scene for several decades -- recently joined forces with celebrated saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Henry Solomon for a tour across South America. Binney's prolific output includes over 25 solo albums, along with collaborations with Gil Evans, Maria Schneider, Jim Hall, Vince Mendoza, Vinicius Cantuária, Carlinhos Brown, Norah Jones, Antonio Sánchez, and many others.

The duo connected in Montevideo, Uruguay, with visionary drummer Mateo Ottonello -- a key figure in the Río de la Plata new jazz scene. Ottonello is celebrated for his innovative fusion of jazz, electronic music, and traditional Uruguayan rhythms. Together, the trio recorded with a group of candombe drummers, tapping into the deeply rooted Afro-Uruguayan tradition. The result is a genre-defying collaboration that merges the improvisational fire of free jazz, the atmospheric textures of ambient music, and the hypnotic, polyrhythmic pulse of candombe.

NURSE WITH WOUND	She And Me Fall Together In Free Death	3LP BOX	LOGICAL ABSURD	LOGAB 10000LP
$225.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 "Ever since Brian Eno developed the concept of ambient music, there seems to be a concerted effort to turn music into the equivalent of a backrub: something purely contextual that functions as an emotional salve if applied properly. Since the early '80s, Nurse With Wound has been pushing the opposite concept. Steven Stapleton's music is not made to make you feel better, or as something upbeat to play while doing crunches. Stapleton's music is designed for active, deep listening. You simply can't just play it in the background as you converse with friends. Even his most ambient pieces are not meditative; they are designed as a complex drama to make you FEEL something. Steven Stapleton's newest release is a full-length LP on the incomparably interesting Beta-Lactam Rings label. She and Me Fall Together in Free Death is probably the most approachable, largely 'musical' album that NWW has released since Rock N' Roll Station. It's also one of his strangest concepts, a marriage of trance inducing Krautrock grooves with a traditional jazz standard and some jarringly atonal musique concrete. Side A is the 20- minute title track: a slow-motion jam reminiscent of one of Can's sidelong tracks on Tago Mago or the more avant-garde grooves of Tony Conrad and Faust's Outside the Dream Syndicate. The propulsive Jaki Liebezeit drumbeat is the foundation for a long jam session with what sounds like a dijderidoo and layers of guitar feedback. It's a massive, heavy sound, the kind that Julian Cope would devote a whole chapter to in his 'Kratrocksampler.' Side B is one long piece with three distinct movements. Beginning with those familiar, World Serpent-trademark windchimes, the listener is quickly ushered into Staple- ton's singing debut (!) in a rendition of the oft-covered traditional jazz ballad 'Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair.' This was a favorite of the recently deceased Nina Simone, and also of the avant-jazz screamer Patty Waters. Nurse With Wound's version is backed by cello drones, repetitive guitar strums and tambourine, sounding very much like The Velvet Underground's 'Venus in Furs.' It's such a treat to hear Steven Stapleton's multitracked vocals cover this classic song, and this eerie version rates as one of my favorites."

Themes include sexual politics and the torture of women imprisoned in Northern Ireland during The Troubles of the 1970s, as well as a stunning cover of David Bowie's 'Repetition' about domestic violence. It peaked at No. 33 in the UK, and features the single 'It's Obvious', which reached No. 37 on the US Club Play Singles chart.

LEE, IVAN	Upsetter Kids Forever	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	OSMO 003LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 In August of 2023, after a couple of years of not playing reggae, Iván Lee felt the urge to go back to it. Undusting some old recordings and starting to listen to Lee "Scratch" Perry´s voice again opened the gate for inspiration to flow. Laying down basic piano rhythms over drum tracks played by Winston "Horseman" Williams, new songs started to emerge. August seemed to be a fertile month and riding that wave Chimurenga Renaissance came into the studio to collaborate on several tracks of the album, adding mbira, percussion, and guitars plus Tendai "Baba" Maraire´s sharp raps. Just some days later the dancehall legend Lady Ann laid down the vocals for the great "First Lady of Dancehall" track, making the album gain strength and purpose. Recorded between London, New York and Buenos Aires this album has a start studded lineup of musicians and collaborators. Upsetter Kids Forever is the title of Iván Lee´s debut album and it comes from a studio session during which Lee scribbled these words on to Ivan´s jacket. "Years later while working on the album I realized that we were all Lee fans, everyone involved in making this music has been touched and inspired by him."

EFDEMIN	Poly	2LP	OSTGUT TON	OSTGUT 038LP
$54.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 After a six-year hiatus, Efdemin returns with Poly -- his fifth studio album, released on the recently revived Berghain-affiliated label, Ostgut Ton. As the title suggests, Poly explores multiplicity: of rhythm, texture, style, and emotion. Across eleven meticulously sculpted textures, the album weaves a multidimensional web of sonic references, nodding to the origins of techno while pushing resolutely into uncharted terrain. Poly feels like an afterglow -- of decades on the dancefloor, of restless sonic exploration, and of a profound connection to the spaces and communities that have shaped Efdemin's sound. Over the course of 60 minutes listeners are taken through different territories and landscapes of sound. Mysterious and swirling, abstract and droning textures over at times fast and stoic rhythmic concepts. Sometimes the sunlight breaks into the opaque and mysterious soundscapes before the pulse is taken over and sucks listeners back straight into the club. The overall tone of Poly is mild and playful, introvert and at times dreamy. The music is rich in sonic expression and breathes the spirit of musical concepts that have been refined over the course of decades. What Sollmann has condensed here feels like a culmination of his multilayered and polyphonic personality situated between club, museum, studio and academy. The album cover features a striking photograph of a human ear by renowned German artist Isa Genzken. Known for her radical visual language, Genzken's work here functions as a metaphor for deep listening. The ear symbolizes the layered complexity and immersive quality of the music on Poly -- an invitation to perceive sound in all its depth, fragility, and force and unlock it's potential to unite different voices in a distorted reality.

BEATLES, THE	Live From Canada 1964: Montreal September 8th	LP	1960'S RECORDS	RANDB 175LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 The Beatles played two shows at the Montréal Forum on September 8th 1964, a matinee at 4pm and an evening performance at 8pm and at 6pm they held a press conference for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from the Forum's stage. A local newspaper had reported that somebody was going to kill Ringo, so instead of staying the night in Montréal, they flew out straight after the evening show and arrived at Key West at 3.30am where hundreds of fans were awaiting them. After a day off in Miami, the group performed at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida the following night. 1960's Records have done the best they possibly could with these admittedly lo-fi yet important historical recordings. The source is AM radio and there is considerable distortion on the vocals. The broadcast was faded out halfway through "A Hard Day's Night" so the last two songs of the show, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Long Tall Sally" were not transmitted.

After the group disbanded in 1969, they formed Fotheringay with Lucas's girlfriend Sandy Denny, who had recently left Fairport Convention. The Fairports were recording mostly traditional folk material at this time and Denny left the group so that she could perform more of her own compositions. The BBC session on side one of this LP features songs from the first Fotheringay album and took place at the Playhouse Theatre on April 13th 1970. The songs on side two were recorded at BBC's Maida Vale Studios in November 1970. They are "off-air" recordings but the sound quality is still very good.

It's expressive, natural, and percussive, full of motion and detail, where live playing, studio craft, and imagination merge into one seamless flow. The sound drifts from deep, funky electronic grooves to spacious, cinematic, and cosmic landscapes -- music that invites you deeper with every listen.

Some of the songs recorded over those few nights showed up in 1974 on their 1969: Velvet Underground Live album, but the sound quality was not great due to the use of third or fourth generation tapes. However, the first-generation tapes have since resurfaced, and the difference in sound quality (heard here) is a welcome one.

PICCIONI, PIERO	Amore Mio Aiutami	LP	SONOR MUSIC EDITIONS	SME 092LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Sonor Music Editions presents the definitive reissue of Piero Piccioni's often unheralded soundtrack to the 1969 bittersweet Italian comedy classic Amore Mio Aiutami (Help Me, My Love), starring two giants of Italian cinema, Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi. This soundtrack is a prime example of Piccioni's immense talent as a composer of timeless, lushly orchestrated lounge music -- a masterpiece of its era that rightfully deserves its place alongside his most cherished works from the same period, such as Colpo Rovente, Camille 2000, Appassionata, Il Dio Sotto La Pelle, and Travolti Da Un Insolito Destino Nell'Azzurro Mare D'Agosto (Swept Away). In recent years, it has found new life in the age of streaming, being extensively rediscovered and sampled within the hip-hop and lo-fi communities. Maestro Piero Piccioni remains one of the brightest shining stars among Italian composers from the golden age of cinema, soundtracks, and library music. With a prolific career that includes more than 300 film scores, Piccioni began his journey in the world of cinema in Rome during the 1950s. At the time, he was practicing law but soon began composing for film, developing a particularly close working relationship with directors Francesco Rosi and Alberto Sordi. Among his vast body of work -- especially his collaborations with Sordi -- Amore Mio Aiutami stands at the pinnacle of Piccioni's oeuvre, showcasing his style of composition and production. The score moves seamlessly from sophisticated bossa and lounge pieces like "Amanda Strain," "North Pole Penguin," and the versions of "Bossa Per Alberto" -- performed with a smaller jazz combo -- to dreamy vocal pieces by Nora Orlandi and her choir, including "Miss Luna Special," "Luna Amore E No," and "Luna Non Sei Nessuna," featuring British actress and dancer Gloria Paul. The highlight, however, perhaps remains the pastoral main theme, where romantic strings intertwine with Piccioni's unmistakable sound and bittersweet melodies -- forever linked to Italian Commedia all'italiana films, of which Amore Mio Aiutami is a prime example. This revitalized reissue of Piero Piccioni's Amore Mio Aiutami soundtrack has been carefully remastered by Jonathan Dakers, lacquer-cut by Jukka Sarapää at Timmion Cutting, and packaged in a thick cardboard tip-on sleeve with fully restored artwork. It also includes two versions of "Bossa Per Alberto" as bonus tracks.

TONI TORNADO	Toni Tornado	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 339LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Originally released in 1972, Toni Tornado's self-titled debut is a landmark in Brazilian soul and funk -- a gritty, groovy record that helped define the sound of the Black Rio movement. Blending deep soul, psychedelic funk, and bold orchestration, this album channels the revolutionary energy of James Brown with the tropical swagger of Rio's streets. From the urgent rhythms of "Torniente" to the undeniable strut of "Mané Beleza" and "Tornado," Toni's music pulses with a fierce sense of pride and liberation. It's the sound of a new cultural identity taking shape -- where African-American soul met Afro-Brazilian reality. Often compared to the legendary Tim Maia, Tornado brought his own explosive edge to Brazil's growing soul scene. By the 1970s, other Brazilian musicians, such as Banda Black Rio, Cassiano, Gerson King Combo, Jorge Ben, and Gilberto Gil, began making soul records. DJs started throwing soul-only parties. Toni Tornado's voice carries grit and passion, his grooves hit hard, and his message is crystal clear -- Black is beautiful, and the funk is real. Back on vinyl for a new generation, this reissue is more than a collector's gem -- it's a time capsule from an era when music moved bodies and minds. Essential listening for fans of vintage soul, global funk, and revolutionary sounds. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

U-ZIQ	1979	2LP	BALMAT	BALMAT 019LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "Two years after he first appeared on Balmat with 1977, Mike Paradinas returns with 1979. The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something -- half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair -- in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released. Just like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Like its predecessor, the new album's atmospheric cast sets it apart from much of the work Paradinas has released as µ-Ziq on Planet Mu. It's not strictly an ambient record, but it's close, as close as this famously mutable artist ever comes to inhabiting a particular genre. Paradinas' inspiration for the record began on visits to the Spanish cities of Ávila and Majadahona, where his family hails from. That might account for the sense that there are spirits flitting through this music, presences you can intuit if not quite grasp. But 1979 is also a record to meet on your own terms, and to find your own meanings in. It's a stunning record, every track a world unto itself: the mysterious contours of "Majadahonda at Dawn"; the playful melodic fillips of "Clari"; the airy melancholy of "Galletas"; the full-scale breakbeat abandon (yes, you read that right) of "Houzz 14," the rarest of dancefloor detours for Balmat. There are echoes of classic braindance and isolationist ambient and golden-age IDM; there are easter eggs and recurring themes and hidden symmetries. Despite what the title might suggest, it's less a trip back in time than a portal to another universe, a destination for(to?) which only Mike Paradinas knows the exact coordinates." --Philip Sherburne

BOVELL, DENNIS	cLOUD mUsIc	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 178LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Dubmaster Dennis Bovell presents cLOUD mUsIc. A miraculous set of loose limbed, slinky funk-forward dub on the A-Side with totally blunted, spaced out trippiness on the grooving versions gracing the flipside. A pioneer of dub and progenitor of lovers rock, genius producer-arranger Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell's prolific and eclectic career encompasses a huge range of music: from dub poetry to lovers rock, afro-beat to post-punk, disco to pop and beyond. His production work encompasses such diverse figures as Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Slits, Fela Kuti, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Pop Group, Janet Kay, Saada Bonaire, Orange Juice, Golden Teacher, I Roy, Maximum Joy, Steel Pulse and more. cLOUD mUsIc features eight new, deep, never-heard heaters, initially created for upstart UK library label FOLD. Dennis had written some music under the influence of Cloud-watching and presented it to FOLD with a view to them presenting it as Library Music to be utilized by anyone interested in having music for incidentals, films, TV and advertising etc. cLOUD mUsIc represents Dennis expressing himself freely and inviting others to join and express themselves. Thrilling disco-flecked opener "Rebel Funk" comes bustling out the gate with deeply soulful, driving funk rhythms, a ponderous thumping bass combining brilliantly with a full band and chanting choral vocals. Spirited, joyful and dynamic, it's a true treat from the reggae maestro. The lush, deeply danceable "Raw Soul" combines funk and soul via bass, drums, electric guitar, sax and trumpet. The chilled, serene "Callaloo" presents a sunny, calypso-style reggae with dub rhythms, with steel drums and keyboards providing the sweet melody of deep bass and percussive rhythms. "Too Funky To Be True" is just that: slow bass and brass-led funk with melodies from strings and organ. It's sleazy, warm and refined. To close out the side, "Wind Up, Dub Down" is bright and breezy dub reggae with a bouncy rhythm and reflective, contented feel. The B-Side features jaw-dropping dubbed-out, strung-out, spaced-out versions of each of the first five tracks. The vinyl features artwork utilizing a unique photo by Dennis himself. Meticulously mastered and cut by both Simon Francis and Cicely Balston respectively, cLOUD mUsIc has been pressed to the highest possible quality at Record Industry in Holland.

JANE IN ETHER	Oneiric	CD	CONFRONT RECORDINGS	CORE 048CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "I was seriously impressed by Spoken/Unspoken, the 2021 debut album by the Berlin trio Jane in Ether, which includes pianist Magda Mayas along with violinist Biliana Voutchkova and recorder player Miako Klein, but the trio's fantastic follow-up Oneiric proves what can happen when a group develops it sound over time, slowly congealing into an approach where its components are increasingly elusive. Once again the music is all improvised, but for the most part this new release digs deeper into a unified approach to sustained sound than the debut. To be sure, there are passages when the three instrumentalists carve out distinct areas of interrogation, improvising as three voices meticulously weaving their output together, such as the opening moments of 'soaring' where Mayas produces a carpet of percussive resonance both directly upon the piano's strings and mediated through objects, Klein blows unpitched breaths in alliterative spams, and Voutchkova weds vocal fry, wordless meandering, and delicate, weightless bowed violin tones, but the bulk of the record almost feels compositional in terms of how cohesive the individual transmissions operate as one. For me the undeniable highlight of the new album is the title piece, a nineteen-minute excursion where the component sounds meld wondrously into a tactile, ever-shifting meditation marbled with endless textural variation and harmonic movement. Taste is personal, of course, but these days the improvised music that routinely speaks loudest to me is when musicians achieve this kind of spontaneous sonic marriage, working collectively, and subsuming individualities in pursuit of a massed ensemble sound in which each particular element exists to serve the whole. Of course, this approach isn't new and we could look back to AMM as one potential starting point, but I feel like this approach has achieved a critical mass of late. This sort of pursuit actually feels far more non-idiomatic than any of the improvisation that once claimed that mantle." --Peter Margasak

BAILEY & JOHN STEVENS, DEREK	The Duke of Wellington	CD	CONFRONT RECORDINGS	CORE 052CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "For the second time in a matter of weeks, here we have an opportunity to hear more from guitarist Derek Bailey, this time performing with John Stevens. Neither man should need much by way of introduction: both were seminal figures in the world of free improvised music as it took shape in the 1960s and '70s. Thanks to Michael Gurzon's recording, here they are, in 1989, performing together at The Duke of Wellington in London. The first track, 'I'm Alright Actually,' begins with a series of slippery shapes, the noise-elements of Bailey's guitar merging with those of Stevens' percussion in a non-stop stream of invention. The music reaches a point of stasis before moving off into a series of angular shapes which give way to a stream of more slow-moving ideas. There is always a sense of restlessness though, a feeling that, at any moment, things might get more chaotic, which, inevitably, the do. The music ebbs and flows, but the inventiveness and the sense of restless energy is always there. A few seconds of applause have been left in at the end, which really captures the ambience of the venue (the same goes for both the other tracks, too). The second, 'What's the Time?', begins with more spacious, harmonic-dominated ideas from Bailey, in dialogue with Stevens' 'pocket trumpet'. Almost seven minutes in, the music becomes more dense and agitated. Towards the end it almost comes to rest in another section dominated by harmonics, then tries to build up to a climactic moment before subsiding back into something more reflective. The third, 'More', starts with some shifting chords from Bailey backed up with some fragmentary interventions from Stevens, after which things quickly become more sustained and fast-moving. About six minutes in, the pace drops and we're treated to a strikingly lyrical piece of playing from Bailey. Anyone interested in improvised music will want to listen to this, not just on account of its undoubted historical value, but because of the music itself. It's both a great listen and a text-book example of how to make up music as you go along." --Dominic Rivron

GINGER WIZARD	The Curious Flora and Fauna of the Ancient World	LP	CRYPT OF THE WIZARD	CRYPTMETA 037LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Crypt of the Wizard presents Ginger Wizard's The Curious Flora and Fauna of the Ancient World. In the 2010s, in a record store in Prague, the Ginger Wizard discovered a copy of Bo Hansson's Lord of the Rings LP. Although initially unfamiliar with the record, the reference to Tolkien's masterwork and the incredible cover art drew him in and, rather fittingly, sent him off on a journey of discovery that would reshape his creative trajectory. Years later while working in cassette tape manufacturing, Ginger Wizard noticed that most fantasy-inspired music fell into two camps: metal and dungeon synth. With little interest in the former, but intrigued by the latter, he began writing a few songs imagining a beautifully packaged and tactile cassette tape. So began the Ginger Wizard's own mythological discography. Drawing inspiration from Popol Vuh and the inclusion of vocals lent by Protomartyr's Joe Casey and Jakob Battick, a new more cinematic sound began to emerge. Now comes The Curious Flora and Fauna of the Ancient World marking a step into something stranger while still channeling the spirit of Bo Hansson. These songs bloom, creep, and shimmer like forgotten plants under distant suns while rooted in something real and organic. Inspired by the myths of nature rather than heroic quests, it's an album that feels alive, equal parts archaeological dig and psychedelic garden.

FANTASMA	Quase	LP	DRUNKEN SAILOR RECORDS	DRUNKEN 192LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Drunken Sailor present the debut LP from Fantasma. Fantasma was formed in NYC in the year of 2022 by two friends that immigrated from Brazil to try their luck in the belly of the beast. Fantasma, meaning ghost in Portuguese, tells the story of a soul that aims to become real and establish a better future amidst dystopian times. The songs are punk/post-punk influenced by bands like Wire, Wipers, UK anarco-punk and Brazilian soul, especially Tim Maia who also lived in NYC and was deported after robbing a car. These are lyrics about class struggle, being undocumented, riding your bike for work, faith in the unseen and failing in and out of love. The band is now: Lucas Cabu, Gustavo Venturelli, Marc Grillo (Stigmatism), Margaret Chardiet (Pharmakon/Dollhouse) and Craig. Songs written and recorded by Gustavo Venturelli and Lucas Cabu at home. A swirling, beautiful collection of songs make up the Fantasma debut LP, steeped in DIY punk.

WICCANS	Phase IV	LP	DRUNKEN SAILOR RECORDS	DRUNKEN 195LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Wiccans only make noise when they feel like it. A band that's been uttered in reverence for nearly two decades with only a handful of releases, each one a stand-alone classic. You see, it's hard to pinpoint a band that actually has the equal influences of American psychedelia and hard rock all anchored in the glorious benevolence of American Hardcore. A ton of bands dance around and flirt with each but it rarely lands in the sweet spot. They're not trying to fit some supposed perfect space and that's the very point so many others miss. Wiccans are creating the space. Breaking rules and allowing a bit of breadth to what is often a claustrophobic style of music. This might sound scary as everyone knows that the more Hardcore evolves the worse it is -- at least on record. The formula that Wiccans are playing with on Phase IV should scare you. It's totally potent with odd songwriting, intensely creative and varied guitar work and completely pissed vocals. Phase IV does whatever the fuck it wants and passes the bar that only Wiccans could have set for themselves. All of this is propelled by a far stronger production quality than previous efforts and instead of having that expose some fault line it's secured it as a modern classic. It's the kind of shit that will shake the dandruff from the beard of a Third Man collector but will also make that guy stop going to DIY gigs because they're "too rough" or whatever. In a slough of legitimately top tier Hardcore Punk releases, this one actually sounds like something truly special.

On both songs, guitarist and main songwriter Ture Rückwardt joins forces on lead vocals with his former wife and musical partner Ilona Rückwardt, forming a vocal pairing that channels raw energy and eerie chemistry. Neither song makes the slightest concession to commercial trends. Instead, they feel utterly uncompromising -- wild, strange, and defiantly timeless. In a world obsessed with polish and playlists, "Dead End" and "Sarah" sound like transmissions from a different planet. Both tracks were originally recorded as demos in 1984 in the band's rehearsal room, with Hase engineering.

KLEISTWAHR	The Battlefield is Everywhere	CD	FOURTH DIMENSION	FD 162CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Since the release of This World is Not My Home in 2014, Gary Mundy (Ramleh, Breathless, Broken Flag) has been releasing one new album per year by his critically acclaimed solo Kleistwahr endeavor. The idea driving this is to keep producing an album a year until he is no longer capable of doing so. While the dedication to this pirouettes starkly between insanity and an admirable stoicism, it's quite an undertaking when one considers the sound palette Gary works from. Threaded throughout all of these albums are signature features comprising organ groans, despairing vocals reaching from a scorched canyon, black hole guitars, abrasive textures and occasional rhythmic pulses. Yet, magically countering all of this is a powerful yearning to keep everything fresh and moving forward. Subsequently, each of the ten albums released by Fourth Dimension since 2014 (and others have appeared elsewhere), including this one, is contoured with surprising twists and turns that neither betray Kleistwahr's sound nor nudge it anywhere close to stagnation. On The Battlefield is Everywhere, in addition to the searing psychedelic churn Gary Mundy is a deft hand at delivering, there's the slow-burn volcanic rock assault of "Let's Be Strangers" and the electronic bleep-addled mass of howls, demolition ball rhythm and cascading textures of "Yet Still the Birds Sing" to contend with besides many other delights that pull the album in several directions. While it could be contended this music would be ideal for the aftermath of your next toxic 'shroom stew-serving dinner party, there's still room enough for some violent twitches towards an appetizing dessert.

$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "Hurriya (We Must Resist) is a sonic bridge crossing the Mare Nostrum, connecting the shores of Naples and Tunisia. At the heart of this fusion is the voice and soul of Tunisian musician Ziad Trabelsi, whose Arab roots intertwine with the psychedelic, Mediterranean sound of Psyché. In this track, Afrobeat and Arabic sonorities meet to create a hypnotic journey, one where Ziad's oud weaves an evocative groove that gallops like horses in the desert. 'Hurriya' -- the Arabic word for freedom -- is an anthem of resistance and resilience, a dialogue between East and West that dissolves the rigid boundaries of geography and politics."

MODERN SOUND QUARTET	Italian Library Breaks	5x7" BOX	FOUR FLIES RECORDS	FLIESBX 003EP
$110.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "The Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented, outfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of 'invisible' soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve. Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea Surdi (drums), Luigi Cappellotto (bass), and Ernesto Verardi (guitar), the quartet embodies the more jazz-funk, cinematic, and irresistibly groovy side of the 1970s Milan scene. They established themselves as a compelling alternative to the already established groups operating primarily out of Rome, such as I Marc 4 or I Gres. Juggling late-night club jam sessions, tours supporting Italian pop giants like Ornella Vanoni, and creating rhythmically intense library records, the Modern Sound Quartet forged a unique sonic aesthetic: sophisticated, electric, and profoundly metropolitan. This boxset celebrates their funkiest side -- an irresistible combination of incandescent drum breaks, tight grooves, and high-intensity fusion passages -- bringing together some of the most sought-after tracks from legendary LPs like Erbe Selvatiche (1977), Floreama (1977), Horoscope (1978), and I Tarocchi (1980). The selection also delves further back to the roots of their sound, including two powerhouse tracks from Pop-Paraphrenia (1973), a project where Oscar Rocchi -- backed by a young, lethal Tullio De Piscopo on drums -- sowed many seeds that would fully blossom in the subsequent Modern Sound Quartet output. Created with DJs, beatmakers, and collectors of Italian library music in mind, this boxset deliberately features tracks that were never previously released on 7" -- an ideal format for maximizing the rhythmic punch of the quartet's sound. Available in a limited worldwide edition (500 copies), enriched by iconic '70s-style artwork conceived and designed by Eric Adrian Lee."

YIN YIN	Yatta!	CD	GLITTERBEAT	GB 181CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 On their fourth album Yatta!, the celebrated Dutch quartet YĪN YĪN extends, bends, and ignites a joyous mix of disco, funk, surf, psychedelia, and Southeast Asian motifs. As Yatta! proves, the band's sonic footprint is an ever-evolving kaleidoscope of sounds, textures and beats. As with their breakthrough album Mount Matsu (GB 147CD, 2024), their devotion to getting the dance floor moving remains front and center. That impulse, already strong, has intensified -- Yatta! lifting it to an ecstatic next level. The result? An album that reveals a band whose groove just keeps getting deeper. Certainly, the quartet from Maastricht in the south of the Netherlands has built a reputation for balancing an eclectic range of influences and using them to forge something that is affectionately retro and, at the same time, fresh and forward-facing. From the beginning, YĪN YĪN have been devoted to exploring global sounds with an emphasis on getting the dance floor moving -- an impulse that reaches its peak on Yatta! One major influence is the sound of Italo Disco -- the spacey brand of disco music that arose in Italy in the late 1970s. "It has something of a mystique," says Berkers. "All the producers were using new recording techniques and effects, but there are not many pictures or videos of how they were creating things in the studio. You have to use your own fantasy and create your own story about how that music is created." Across the album, YĪN YĪN specialize in creating the soundtracks to dream journeys, opportunities for the listener to visit places that exist in realms of the imagination. If there's a general direction of travel in YĪN YĪN's expeditions, it's towards the east, with Asian influences coming through loud and clear. It's a fascination that has suffused YĪN YĪN's sound since, in the early days, they stumbled upon a couple of compilation albums of psychedelic '60s and '70s guitar music from Southeast Asia. Adopting Eastern tunings has imparted an unusual feel to YĪN YĪN's music and challenged them as songwriters, and Yatta! is the sound of four musicians finding their own globe-trotting groove, and having the time of their lives exploring it.

WALL, PAUL	The Peoples Champ	2LP	GET ON DOWN	GET 52768LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "In the mid-to-late '90s, Southern hip-hop was bubbling up in Atlanta with Outkast, Rap-A-Lot out of Houston, Three 6 Mafia out of Memphis, and Master P's No Limit out of New Orleans. By the early 2000s, Southern Hip-Hop was overtaking East Coast and West Coast acts with national radio and video play. The Chopped and Screwed style made popular by Houston's DJ Screw's mixtapes was also spreading nationwide. In 2005, another H-Town indie label, Swishahouse, was blowing up with a deal they had inked with Warner Music Group's resurrected Asylum label. Founded by Michael '5000' Watts and OG Ron C, Swishahouse released the single 'Still Tippin' on The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 compilation. The single, which featured Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Slim Thug, would be added to Mike Jones' debut album Who is Mike Jones? leading to the first platinum album under Swishahouse and would set the stage for Paul Wall's major label debut. After releasing several albums and mixtapes with fellow H-Town rapper Chamillionaire, Paul Wall signed a deal with Atlantic/Asylum/Swishahouse and released the gold-certified single 'Sittin Sideways' in the summer of 2005. The People's Champ, featuring Paul Wall's famous platinum and diamond grillz on the cover, was released on September 13, 2005, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Charts. The album is an ode to the laid-back Houston culture of hustling, cars, sippin' on purple drank while listening to Chopped and Screwed music. The album had the internet goin' nuts with features from Texas contemporaries Mike Jones, Big Pokey, Bun B, as well as southern rap stars Three 6 Mafia, T.I., and Lil Wayne. The album spawned another gold single from the Kanye West-produced track 'Drive Slow' and would push sales to Platinum status."

JAMES, LEELA	A Change Is Gonna Come	2LP	GET ON DOWN	GET 52780LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "L.A.-based soul singer Leela James started out singing backup vocals on hip-hop albums in the late '90s and early 2000s. In 2004, she recorded the song 'No Tears' on Pete Rock's Soul Survivor 2, shortly after she signed a deal with Warner Bros Records and released her debut album A Change is Gonna Come, named after her cover of the Sam Cooke song. A true soul singer, with a voice comparable to Mavis Staples and Betty Wright, Leela enlisted Commissioner Gordon to oversee production, which included tracks by Kanye West, Raphael Saadiq, Wyclef Jean, and Chucky Thompson. The lead single, 'Music,' is an ode to the soul singers of yesterday, with a hip-hop feel. She performs a soulful R&B cover of No Doubt's 'Don't Speak' and alternates between funky uplifting tracks like 'Good Time' and 'Soul Food' with downtempo, soulful ballads like 'When You Love Somebody' and 'My Joy.' Leela James departed from Warner after the release of her debut and went on to release seven more studio albums. It's been twenty years since A Change is Gonna Come was released in June of 2005, and Get On Down now presents this underrated gem for the first time on vinyl. The album is pressed on 'Golden Pearl' colored vinyl and packaged in a gatefold jacket, limited to 1000 copies. It's been a long time coming, but this is a must-have for neo-soul and R&B music lovers."

HONEY SMUGGLERS	So Far	CD	ULTRAMARINE	HUM 002CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 One of those '80s/'90s "indie hopefuls" was Honey Smugglers. A band whose place in that crazy but pivotal time before Britpop is slowly being revealed thanks to a series of extensive compilations of that era by Cherry Red Records. They've featured in six of them. Honey Smugglers shared stages with the likes of Blur, Suede, Dodgy and Levitation (Ex House of Love guitarist Terry Bickers' new band) without sounding like any of them. An uber tight organ driven music machine that mixed pop, groove and a lot of psychedelia into a bunch of catchy, inventive, eclectic and very English songs, they were un-pigeonholable at a time when everyone was looking for a pigeon to hole. A formidable live act, they released a couple of EPs, but sadly never delivered an album. Now, 35 years later we finally have So Far. The long-lost debut album by Honey Smugglers, collating recordings that never saw the light of day back then. And what comes across is the sheer diversity of their songwriting and performance. There's the pure slice of melodic English guitar pop of lead track "She Doesn't Know," "Greatest Lovers" with its fragile verses and psychedelic freakout ending. You have the dream pop of "Good Afternoon" and "Stay" rubbing shoulders with the skewed psychedelia of "Shake Free," "Rocking Horse," and "No." And of course, their best-known song, the 6-minute indie dancefloor filler "Listen" (heard here for the first time in its original and definitive version). Inventive, melodic, groovy and psychedelic (in the truest sense of the word) the Smugglers were of their time but in many ways ahead of it too, as the arrival of Britpop a few years later would testify.

VA	Cerrero Dubs	LP	LLORONA RECORDS	LLO 261LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Cerrero steps into his lab like the alchemists of 1970s Kingston: cutting, repeating, filtering, letting the bass breathe, and allowing echo and reverb to give a new dimension to a unique selection of songs from the catalogs of Llorona Records and Discos Pacífico. Cerrero Dubs is a tribute to classic dub, crafted with the soul of cumbia, juga, and bambuco, from Palenque, San Jacinto, Guapi, and Tumaco: live manipulation, sonic experimentation, bass as backbone, delay as tool. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Son Palenque, Sexteto Tabalá, Bejuco, Agrupación Changó, and Semblanzas del Río Guapi, transported into a universe where the sounds of Colombia 's jungles and coasts are not remixed -- they are deconstructed, twisted, and dubbed. Cerrero -- sound alchemist and founder of Llorona Records and Discos Pacífico -- offers a selection of versions in which the Caribbean and Afro-Pacific sounds of Colombia are transformed into hypnotic, ethereal, psychedelic, and minimalist soundscapes. A reinterpretation of the legacy of iconic groups, shaped through the console and sensitivity of a producer exploring the possible futures of the local sounds.

WEEKS, GREG	If The Sun Dies	LP	LANGUAGE OF STONE	LOS 012LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "Dormancy comes in many forms. For some it is a break from the world of stress and the constant demands one finds oneself under. For others it is a much-needed respite from the grind, a time to disengage from the wheel and collect oneself for the next challenge. If The Sun Dies, Greg Weeks' seventh release, is a signal that his respite is over. Pursuing creativity once again, Weeks finds himself in a period of explosive productivity. He has written an enormous number of songs over the past few years, enough to fuel five separate projects, including If The Sun Dies. In addition, he has rebuilt his Hexham Head Studio (still all analog, still twenty-four tracks) and resuscitated his label Language Of Stone (sans imprint status). If The Sun Dies, which takes its title from an Oriana Fallaci novel, is every bit a Weeks album: cryptic-poetic lyrics over melancholic melodies strummed on acoustic guitar and ornamented with the analog instruments he has forever treasured (Hammond Organ, Mellotron, Mini-Moog, and effects-laden guitars). However, the album feels like a departure, a maturation in both content and approach despite its many echoes from the past. The album's running thread is melancholia, but lyrically the tunes couldn't be more disparate. 'If The Sun Dies' is an anthem that posits the end of things being the only means by which two people can find time to truly connect. 'The Heathen Heart' speaks to one's desire for salvation yet underscores a different, more frightening reality. The more narrative 'A Narrow Star' follows a young woman's journey into entropy, while 'Tail Lights Burn The Hillside Red' explores the depression that likely drove her there. Shifting gears, 'Dream You Awake' investigates the more archetypal territory of the star-crossed lovers, while 'Driven' attempts, unsuccessfully, to put the genie back into the bottle. 'Ridley Street,' a song about a stalker, is juxtaposed to 'Rainless,' a song that believes in the transcendent power of love. While 'A Million Ways To Die' and 'Gone Darkside' tread quite literal territory, the album's closer, 'What It Takes' questions identity in the face of pharmaceuticals. Taken in total, the album amounts to a complete return to form."

COLD STORAGE	wipE'out" - The Zero Gravity Soundtrack Vol. 2	2CD	LAPSUS RECORDS	LPS PS019CD
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 The legacy of wipE′out″ has transcended time and cemented itself as a true transgenerational phenomenon. Launched in 1995, it didn't just revolutionize the gaming industry, it created a bridge between the gaming ecosystem and the raver community. Its futuristic aesthetics and forward-thinking sound left a mark not only on mainstream audiences but also on the most demanding corners of the underground. Decades later, the game's impact is still alive. The release in 2023 of The Zero Gravity Soundtrack on Lapsus Records proved once again that wipE′out″'s accompanying audio will go down in history as much more than just an anti-gravity racing game soundtrack. This is why Lapsus decided to go deeper into the slipstream and build the second volume you're now holding in your hands. Drawn from the original archives of Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, this new collection surfaces unreleased cuts, pieces that couldn't fit on the first edition, and a suite of self-authored ambient reworks that translate pure velocity into wide-screen atmospherics engineered for the long straights, the drone of airbrakes, the blue hour between checkpoints. It also reconnects the circuit, gathering selections and variants tied to later chapters of the saga -- wipE′out″ HD and wipE′out″ Pure -- plus alternative mixes that, until now, only existed in the Sega Saturn dimension of the franchise. Finally, the material takes a leap into the future in the hands of four remixers especially chosen for this release: Tim Reaper, SHERELLE, Mantra, and NikNak, who collectively forge links between CoLD SToRAGE's pioneering musical vision, the sound world of the game, and the contemporary breakbeats and drum and bass vanguard. Expect the DNA you remember -- accelerated breaks, trance-vector synths, jungle influences, sub-bass rumbling neatly beneath the craft's hull, and at times even echoes of classic hardstyle -- now revealed with new angles and air. The previously unheard material carries the same aerodynamic design sense that made these tracks feel faster than the track map itself, while the ambient versions open the field of view with melodies hovering at the lip of overdrive. For the faithful -- crate-digging ravers, speed-run obsessives, and design nerds -- this is an essential expansion pack: compiling rarities, restoring context, and reframing the emotional core of wipE′out″ for late nights and early mornings alike. Bridging memory and momentum, club and console, rush and afterglow. Strap in.

$200.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Golpes brings together some of the holy grails of Spanish post-punk in 7" format -- records that helped define the sound of the early '80s. This box set is a collection of rarities, but above all, a celebration of monumental songs that have become timeless anthems, transcending darkwave, la movida, and new wave alike.

You'll find names like Alaska y los Pegamoides and Gabinete Caligari, who went on to achieve massive popularity and commercial success, alongside legendary artists such as Desechables and Parálisis Permanente -- arguably Spain's most iconic post-punk band -- and cult favorites beloved by the most dedicated fans, like Agrimensor K and El Último Sueño. This box set comprises impossible-to-find singles, genre classics, and rarities like the 12"s by Seres Vacíos or the mythical flexi by Alaska y los Pegamoides, now appearing for the first time ever on 7" vinyl. In total, 14 seven-inch records, each with its original artwork and inserts. Also included is a 24-page booklet featuring flyers, posters, ads, quotes, and fanzine clippings from the era, plus a text by Borja Prieto, and the ultra-rare Alaska y los Pegamoides poster that originally came with the first pressing of their single "Horror en el hipermercado." Golpes is a deep dive into the darker side of Spain's vibrant 1980s music scene. An absolute must-have.

MAVI	Laughing So Hard, It Hurts	LP	NATURE SOUNDS	NSD 265LP
$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 "While it remains a remarkable achievement, Mavi's breakthrough debut album Let The Sun Talk was the work of an artist still coming into his own, recorded when the gifted emcee was a teenager attending Howard University. After touring with Jack Harlow and working with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Pink Siifu, the Charlotte, North Carolina wordsmith returned three years later with the acclaimed follow-up Laughing So Hard, It Hurts, an emotional meditation on life's complex duality. Embedding his dense flows within lush instrumentation and stuttering percussion, Mavi unearthed new lyrical depth on the album, navigating through joy and sorrow, grief and hope, pain and healing. While many artists have struggled to match the heights of a beloved debut, Laughing So Hard, It Hurts proved that Mavi would only continue to elevate his virtuosic self-expression with each new release. Eloquently cascading rhymes reveal an artist searching for truth through a vast scope of thought, floating atop serene production from Monte Booker, Dlyvinci, Ovrkast, and more. After very limited initial pressings, this classic 2022 collection is now receiving its most extensive vinyl release to date."

$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Glasgow reggae collective Mungo's HiFi celebrate 25 years of pulsating music with a follow-up to game-changing second studio album Soundsystem Champions. Released in 2008, the original Sound System Champions became an instant 21st century classic -- thanks to its industrial strength basslines, blazing horns and lineup of scorching microphone talent. To commemorate a quarter century of rocking dances and building rhythms, Mungo's have created Soundsystem Champions 2. They've lovingly assembled some of their biggest dubplates, previously only heard in a soundsystem situation, now available to the world. Fans of the first Sound System Champions will hear musical echoes in the new version. Irrepressible Junglist General Levy rides the Belly Ska riddim that kicked off the 2008 edition, with the militant Gideon Boot. Italy's Marina P returns to the new record on the expansive "Searching," as does Kenny Knots, closing the track list with heartfelt roots anthem "Rise and Gravitate." For Soundsystem Champions 2, Mungo's have invited many more voices from their epic journey. Bristol's Eva Lazarus revisits Althea and Donna's immortal "Uptown Top Ranking." Reading's Solo Banton turns his lyrical versatility to hip hop banger "Bubble N Wine." The beautiful grainy tones of Ireland's Cian Finn reimagine the Wailers' "Rainbow Country." With this historic sequel album, Mungo's look back while going forward, the exclusive becomes the inclusive, and the Sound System comes to you!

URLAUB IN POLEN	Objects, Beings & Parrots	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 596CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 More than two decades after their formation, Urlaub in Polen continue to celebrate an aesthetic of transience -- an experience bounded by time, poured into the project's very name -- set against a continuous flow of new impressions and a suitcase slowly filling with memorabilia. After a longer hiatus, their 2020 album All (TR 461CD marked a return with a warped take on krautrock, a direction which their new release Objects, Beings and Parrots both follows and expands upon. In true eclectic tradition, it ventures further into diverse genre territories -- always exploratory, yet never losing its thread. Multi-instrumentalist Georg Brenner and drummer Jan Philipp Janzen blaze a trail through a dense web of references (see also the cover collage merging tile selections, retro interior suggestions, and archaeology textbook cutouts), evoking a warm feeling of being taken along for the ride -- even as the band refuses to be pinned down to any clear musical category. Take the opener, "Abacus": kicking off with a drum machine and subtle guitar flourishes, it already nods -- title included -- to the mechanical, forward-clicking motorik sound of first-generation krautrock. Then it takes a turn, morphing into a grooving jam with increasingly dense sound layers, howling guitars, and the band's signature clipped vocal phrases -- calling to mind flashes of '90s noise rock. Next up on this winding path: a washing machine -- here manifested in layers of wide synth textures, crashing drums, distorted guitars, and vocals that end in a staccato-like cough. It's a shaking, rattling trip through a cosmos of self-willed machinery and a comforting embrace of imperfection. And so the transformation continues: sometimes as wavering retrofuturism ("Fame & Fortune"), sometimes as surprisingly melodic acoustic pop -- complete with a woodland brass solo ("Jaki's Love Time") -- and always through the weaving of finely crafted rhythmic repetitions with sonic experimentation. The Objects, Beings and Parrots in this flow form vague images, points of orientation and pause: at once recognizable elements drawn from pop and art history, and yet as fleeting and abstract as the track that shares their name. You can hear the album's decelerated genesis: after a lengthy writing phase, the tracks were recorded across multiple sessions at the secluded MARS Studio in Germany's Eifel region. The result is a trippy, self-contained celebration of persistence -- of pushing forward, without excluding moments of stillness, and with the occasional glance in the rear-view mirror.

LA CUCARACHA BRASS	La Cucaracha Brass	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 340LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 During the sixties, especially the second half, Bobby Marín was an up-and-coming young Nuyorican who was responsible, along with his brother Richard, for producing, writing, or coordinating recordings by Louie Ramírez, Machito, The Nitty Gritty, Willie Rosario, Joe Cuba, Johnny Zamot, Kako, and Azuquita, Charlie Palmieri, and others. Many of these artists were caught up in the ongoing boogaloo movement. So, it was not a surprise when Ismael Maisonave -- an unsung hero of Latin music and owner of Mary Lou Records -- approached Bobby with the idea of reissuing a Raphie Martínez album as a budget LP under a different name, resulting in La Cucaracha Brass. The songs selected for this compilation represent a point in time when the world was getting ready for an incipient monster called salsa, which would take over for years to come. The LP includes descargas, guaguancós, guarachas, as well as the declining boogaloo. It is a collection of recordings by different artists and was named Cucaracha Brass because at that time the group Tijuana Brass was very popular. Most of the songs were taken (six out of eight, presumably) from the Raphie Martínez and the National Combo LP Cool Man (Mary Lou 1002). However, there are noticeable differences between the two albums. "Latin Power" is an explosive instrumental guaracha and descarga, where the trumpet, congas, and timbales deliver powerful solos. "Takin' Over" -- an instrumental boogaloo -- appears as "We Are Taking Over" on Raphie Martínez's album (with a faster tempo and featuring a background voice). "Hey Mama," a boogaloo sung by Bobby Marín, is titled "Do It All Over" on Martínez's recording, featuring a different singer, different lyrics, and a different tempo. As well as the edited versions of tracks taken from Martínez's album, this album comprises songs taken from other Mary Lou Records releases such as Quique Rosa y La Sabrosa Orchestra (Mary Lou 1020).

After digging deep into the overwhelming archives of Discos Fuentes, Codiscos and Discos MAG in previous volumes, this fourth instalment in the series Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! comprises 28 Colombian cumbia bangers for the dance floor from the deep vaults of Discos Tropical, all of them originally released between 1960 and 1984. Discos Tropical was a Barranquilla-based label founded in the mid-1940s by Luis Emilio Fortou Pereira, a visionary who helped define Colombian dancing habits and tastes from the previous century. Until the late '50s, most cumbias were orchestral-based. However, even though formats and styles diversified from the following decade onward, these highly popular big bands spectacularly defined the sound of Discos Tropical and livened up the most cosmopolitan dances in the major coastal cities. After the mid-'60s, the big bands gradually fell into decline, but the popular demand for tropical music did not. Facing this situation, the major record companies created smaller-format groups with one particular feature: they mixed accordion music with brass bands. This new volume of Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! combines well-known classics and rarities that are difficult to find in their original formats. An invitation to enjoy and be amazed, above and beyond ethnographic and academic concerns. Featuring Carlos Haayen Y Su Combo, Bovea Y Sus Vallenatos, Álvaro Cárdenas Y Su Conjunto, Carlos Román Y Sus Estrellas, Luis Enrique Martínez Y Su Conjunto, Pello Torres Y Sus Diablos Del Ritmo, Banda 20 De Julio De Repelón, Andrés Landero Y Su Conjunto, Cumbia Mochila, Combo Maravilla, A.M.

$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/26/2026 "Colosseum are an English jazz rock band, mixing blues, rock and jazz-based improvisation. Colin Larkin (Encyclopedia of Popular Music) wrote that ''the commercial acceptance of jazz rock in the UK'' was mainly due to the band. The band were formed in early 1968 by drummer Jon Hiseman with tenor sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith, who met each other when they both played in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Valentyne Suite takes the band out of their bluesy comfort zone into something closer to prog rock. The album is generally seen as their best album and still extremely enjoyable. Valentyne Suite is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on white & pink marbled colored vinyl."

NORDWALL/AARON TURNER, JOACHIM	Malign Seeds	CD	TOUCH	ASH 15-8CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 There was no premeditated methodology in place when Swedish electronics manipulator Joachim Nordwall and American guitar mangler Aaron Turner decided to collaborate on an album together. Initial experiments involved Turner submitting improvised guitar compositions to Nordwall for dissection and reassembly. While these exercises yielded interesting returns, the project truly began to bloom when Nordwall pitched several beat-oriented tracks for Turner's perusal. Beginning from a place of structure and finding ways to corrode and disrupt the patterns proved to be a more satisfying tactic than molding chaos into something resembling cohesive form. And it was from this approach that Turner-Norwall's Malign Seeds album took shape. It's difficult to pin down the point of genesis on any of Malign Seeds' seven tracks. Howling drones of indeterminant origin rise and fall out of the ether, like a chorus of tongue-less beings searching each other out with song-like sonar. Melody is eliminated, rhythm is constantly ignored if not outright subverted, timbral familiarity is avoided at all costs. What's left is a hollowed-out shell of rock music -- the scrape of the pick across the strings without any of the harmonic information, the whirr and clatter of electronics without the placating carving away of unwanted frequencies, the rasp of the voice without the underlying melody, the warts and blemishes without the defining contours. This isn't just music stripped naked, this is music where everything but the marrow of the bones has been excised, leaving the listener with something meaty and very much alive. Whether the xenomorphic sounds of Turner-Nordwall's Malign Seeds represent the grisly meat or the scraped-out husk of the 21st century's niche permutations of rock music is ultimately an exercise in language. Perhaps it's the most basic incarnation of living matter -- primordial cells embedded with the code for a more sophisticated manifestation. Perhaps it really is just a shell -- the hardiest and most resilient elements of something that is ultimately fallible and prone to decay. Or perhaps the answer is in the name of the album itself -- a kernel containing multitudes for anyone patient enough to give it time to grow, or anyone brave enough to face the potentially malevolent force nestled within. Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden and Vashon, WA, 2021-2024. Mixed and mastered by Scott Evans in Oakland, CA, 2024. Artwork and design by Savage Pencil.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2024	CD	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRTCD 011CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing two new albums. 2024 was recorded in an old Berlin cinema, the Zentrifuge. In search of "their own rhythmic mantras," as Philipp Gropper explains, strange, multi-layered grooves and unfamiliar sounds. Catapulted into strange worlds by Gropper's compositions, PHILM is concerned with the emotional content of these grooves and navigating them together. This adventurous atmosphere in the room and the interpersonal interplay leave their mark on the sound. Because that's exactly what PHILM is all about: a band that's not about outdoing each other with solos, but about finding a shared musical language, creating together, like an interlocking sound machine.

$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing new music. 2025 was recorded live at the Loft in Cologne in April 2025. The sound here is darker, more emotional. The two pieces "no words" I and II are good examples of this, dealing with the bewilderment and horror in the face of current crises, wars, and the repeatedly destructive role of the global North. Between dissonance and beauty, a wide range of emotions opens up. With 2024 and 2025, PHILM are opening a new chapter for themselves, further honing their long-standing and rightly celebrated consistent understanding of jazz, of storytelling through music, which has had a decisive influence on the European avant-garde.

JURKEN, E.R.	To Be Continued	LP	COUNTRY THYME	CTN 103LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "ER Jurken's songwriting, as evidenced by his acclaimed first album I Stand Corrected, is inclined to wander through the past century or so of American music with a uniquely insouciant flair. On his debut, Ed (as his friends call him) did most of the playing himself, underscoring a deeply personal song-cycle of rise, fall and redemption -- a bare-bones production that ran the gamut from whoa to woe and back again! To Be Continued, his sophomore release, finds his baroque folk-pop fantasias literally on the rocks -- because this time around, Ed's got a power trio of players from Chicago's Junegrass to help him crank it up and out of the park. Once up in the air, his heavenly high tenor and vocal choir melodies further extrude the twisted psyche that underscores Ed & Co's easy riding rock 'n roll. Spelled in spots by Paul Von Mertens' extraordinary string and horn arrangements, the songs of To Be Continued aggressively transcend and defy the stings of everyday misfortune. When the new tunes finally surfaced, requesting and requiring different styles, more conventional song structures and most of all, a shot of rock and roll, Ed was there for the changes. Happy to be crafting his singular new songs in distinctly new musical textures, Ed ensconced himself once again at The Loft, with Mark Greenberg and Rian Murphy assisting the production. To back his vocals, guitar and keyboards, he brought Ben Brazil, Grant Engstrom and Jack Schemenauer in on bass, guitar, drums and percussion. The stalwart rock and roll they generate is further elevated by an old pal of Ed's from way back, Jonathan Kult, who played additional piano. Strings and horns under the direction of arranger/reedist Paul Von Mertens lift several tracks ever closer to the heavens. The combined tumult of all and sundry form an excellent vessel for the surreal melodrama of To Be Continued. As fluently as Ed's songwriting passes through eras of American pop, the songs themselves ramble easily through passageways of existence, finding equal measures of illumination, disillusion and affirmation at every turn. ER Jurken's To Be Continued is a second grand entry in the canon of outside/ inside rock and roll records by an emerging master of the form, an exquisite and timeless musical expression that meets the desperation of the modern world on the beach, with a disarmingly allusive, tuneful and surprising spirit."

DORJI, TASHI	low clouds hang, this land is on fire	Cassette	DRAG CITY	DC 969CS
$13.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "For his third new album release for Drag City, Tashi Dorji turns to the electric guitar. After the furious acoustic improvisations that drove the previous two -- Stateless and we will be wherever the fires are lit -- it's easy to imagine an album of his electric guitar improvisations as an encompassingly incendiary essay. Especially when titled low clouds hang, this land is on fire. After all, this is a man capable of tearing up the place with the tactile musical violence of Bill Orcutt and Derek Bailey! And yet, this knowledge serves to set up a greater shock: the album's disarmingly gentle musical drift. When asked why he turned the knob down from 11 for this album, Tashi says simply, 'To find the silence.' As ever with Tashi, this is a political statement. Even the search for silence takes intention and happens for a reason. In this time of such institutional inhumanity, what is there to feel but exhaustion? When seeing the faces of the deprived, what is there to feel other than hopelessness? In the face of such grief, what words are there to say? So, Tashi got a couple amps, moved from the shed where he'd done his first two DC titles, set up in a room in the family home with high ceilings and dialed in the reverb. Once the sound was in the space, reflecting in a manner that he felt congenial with his mood, he taped it. It's a striking signal, meditative and melancholy, with a delicacy comparable to the lineage of Loren Connors or Bill Frisell, the songs at times developed with the deliberate exposition of themes in raga's alap form. It's a sound that lives within silence. Once he'd laid down the sound, Tashi went back and listened to the composition of each piece. Then the words came easily. They're the titles of these songs, they provide the narrative -- or a prism, to allow us to gaze unblinking upon the awesome rot of empire. The cover art for low clouds hang, this land is on fire includes this found verse, sourced from an old anarchist 'zine."

GEOLOGIST	Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?	2LP	DRAG CITY	DC 970LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Geologist is the nom-de-théâtre of Brian Weitz, whose pursuits have been an active part of the music underground since he was 15, playing and working in alignment with an organic ensemble of friends that would one day choose to call what they were doing Animal Collective. Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights? migrates from that tradition, containing a number of surprise affects of its own. It is the first step into a rippling songscape in which his hurdy gurdy gives and takes multiple forms, an epic electro-acoustic textile of many colors cut from the life and times of Brian Weitz. It's an inspired ride through his phases and stages, with traditional sounds, ritual moods, avant, prog-jazz, kraut, post-punk and minimalist vibes merging in electronic infinity. Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?, lit like a constellation, threads impulses and happenings across space, cherry picking from his psychic archive: the vibe of an energizing drive from Tucson into the desert, taken repeatedly in the early aughts; an incendiary live witness one night in the clubs in 1998; the unending thrill of the mind-meld in eternal recurrence. Geologist uses the drone and chanter strings, whose possibilities blew open the walls for him back then, to highlight these moments in the kaleidoscopic flow of memory. As he set the controls to account for a multitude of directions on this long-promised journey, Brian took inspiration from late-dawning solo eras of players like Bill Orcutt and Susan Alcorn. Then, hurdy gurdy in hand, Geologist realized structures, improvisations and rhythm tracks at home before seeking other energies at Asheville's Drop of Sun Studio. At the session, Adam McDaniel helped a lot -- he drafted drummers Emma Garau, Alianna Kalaba (FACS, Cat Power) and Ryan Oslance (The Dead Tongues, Indigo De Souza), Sham's Shane McCord on clarinets and Mikey Powers on cello. Through vagaries of fate, Brian got Adam Lion to play vibraphone in a few places, Dave 'Avey Tare' Portner for a couple bass tracks, and his son, Merrick Weitz, on acoustic guitar for 'Government Job.' Izzy Barber painted the front cover and gatefold, capturing that Tucson magic, and Bob Nastanovich lettered the back cover, supplying additional pieces of time and space to the puzzle. Through the mystery and science of record making, Geologist refracts beatifically through his back pages throughout Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?"

GRUPO UM	Nineteen Seventy Seven	CD	FAR OUT RECORDINGS	FARO 254CD
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Brazilian avant-jazz vanguardists Grupo Um celebrate their 50th anniversary, sharing a second previously lost 1970s album from the vaults. Nineteen Seventy Seven (titled after the year it was recorded) is another rip-roaring instrumental fusion treasure from the band which spawned from within Hermeto Pascoal's famed mid-1970s São Paulo collective. Like their debut album Starting Point, Grupo Um's Nineteen Seventy Seven was recorded when Brazil's military dictatorship was at its most repressive. Just like Hermeto Pascoal's Viajando Com O Som (1977) and Grupo Um's previous album Starting Point (1975), both of which remained unreleased until the 21st century, Zé Eduardo asserts that the 1977 album was flatly "without any chance to be released at that time." Recorded at Rogério Duprat's Vice-Versa Studios in São Paulo, the group were under both time and space restraints. Expanding from a trio to a quintet, original Grupo Um members Lelo Nazario (keys), Zé Eduardo Nazario (drums), and Zeca Assumpção (bass) were joined by saxophonist Roberto Sion and percussionist Carlinhos Gonçalves. Carlinhos, Zé and Zeca had already played together in the group Mandala, while brothers Lelo and Zé had just finished a stint backing Hermeto Pascoal during his years in São Paulo. Lelo was deeply immersed in modular synthesizer experimentation during this period, working extensively with the ARP2600 and EMS Synthi AKS. These electroacoustic explorations formed the sonic foundation for "Mobile/Stabile," one of his first compositions to merge modular synthesis with Brazilian music, a fusion that would ripple throughout the Brazilian jazz scene. The piece premiered at the first São Paulo International Jazz Festival in 1978, performed by Grupo Um with guest trumpeter Márcio Montarroyos. The version on Nineteen Seventy Seven is the first recording of the composition. Nineteen Seventy Seven combines Afro-Brazilian rhythm, modular synthesis and a plethora of whistles, percussion and effects pedals. Grupo Um's daring music represents a manifesto of resistance during the dictatorship years, but it's one which remains just as relevant today.

$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "The Stains, a fledgling punk band comprised of three teenage girls, rise, fall, and rise again in this 'rock 'n roll parody' directed by music industry veteran Lou Adler (Up in Smoke). With nothing keeping them in their dying factory hometown, rebellious Corinne Burns (Diane Lane, Streets of Fire), her sister Tracy (Marin Kanter, The Loveless) and their cousin Jessica (Laura Dern, Wild at Heart) form the Stains and tour with fading glam rockers the Metal Corpses and working-class English punks the Looters. Through a combination of media manipulation and Corinne's brazen on-stage persona, the Stains become an unlikely overnight sensation. But the girls quickly learn that the business of music is insatiable, fans are fickle and fame is fleeting. Nancy Dowd's (Coming Home) trenchant script takes place in the same, fictional Rust Belt town that her Slap Shot is set in. Through its story occurs within an accelerated, 'only in the movies' timeframe, Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains is full of truths about the music business thanks to the contributions of many industry insiders on both sides of the camera. Barely released in 1982 and unavailable on home video for decades, the film has become a bona fide cult classic through late night cable airings and the 'riot grrrl' movement it helped inspire.

CINDYTALK	Sunset And Forever	2LP	HELEN SCARSDALE AGENCY	HMS 078LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Cindytalk has remained a majestic proposition over the decades, one marked by a continued process of disintegration and regeneration. Change has been a constant for Cindytalk, as has been the presence of the Scottish musician Cinder, who has fronted the project since the early '80s. The first Cindytalk albums embraced a dark theatricality of post-punk dissonance and abject rock deconstruction that coupled industrial dirges with Cinder's beatific vocals, these same vocals that were once plied to the earliest This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins recordings, forever binding Cinder to the 4AD lore. But even on those albums, Cinder was pushing the band to embrace the studio as a tool for further abstraction of sodden drones, cobwebbed dark elegance, and decayed textures. By the early aughts, Cinder had reimagined Cindytalk through the granular processes of digitalia with a handful of equally celebrated works of glitch-born expressionism for Editions Mego. Sunset and Forever is a labyrinthine opus, one that returns to the themes of the sacred and profane that have rippled through all of Cindytalk's recordings, albeit in various guises. The opening track 'Embers of Last Leaves' is a haunted piece of undulated, cyclical tones that entwine into a sorrowful chorale with Cinder's own voice. Thumps of electronic drum kicks and bass drops dot the apocalyptic menace of 'Tower of the Sun' but serve not as a rhythmic grid, but as painterly noises that further disrupt and disturb the machined dissonance. A cinematic radioluminescence blooms from the tempered electronics within 'For Those Eyes, Shadows Of Flowers.' The finale 'I See Her in Everywhere' bookends the opening number with a seemingly human chorus build from electronic tones cast in cathedral reverence. Sounds throughout may appear adjacent to those of Fennesz, Holly Herndon, or even Lovesliescrushing from time to time, but Sunset and Forever remains purely Cindytalk. Cover designed by Chris Bigg, known for his iconic design work for 4AD. Mastered by James Plotkin."

$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Latency presents Nexus, the new solo album by virtuoso Iranian percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi. Covert art by Jordan Belson. Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (b. 1979, Iran) is known for his groundbreaking work with the tombak and daf, traditional Persian drums that he has radically redefined through new playing techniques and extended vocabulary. Mortazavi began playing the tombak at the age of six. By nine, he had already outpaced his teacher and won Iran's national tombak competition -- a distinction he would earn six more times. By his early twenties, he was widely regarded as one of the foremost players of the instrument. Since then, his music has continued to evolve, embracing new forms and vocabularies beyond tradition. Following his acclaimed 2019 release Ritme Jaavdanegi, Nexus marks Mortazavi's return to Latency with a full-length album recorded entirely in Berlin. The record introduces new elements into his sound: voice, effects, and treatments never before used in his discography. These experiments serve not as departures but as further extensions of his ongoing exploration of rhythm, resonance, and transformation. Nexus refers to a point of connection or intersection, a meeting place where different energies, times, and spaces converge and transform. The cover artwork features an image by American visual artist and filmmaker Jordan Belson (1926 -- 2011). Belson's work, often referred to as "cosmic cinema" or "visual music", explores themes of consciousness, transcendence, and the infinite nature of the universe. The pairing with Mortazavi's percussive, trance-induced musical language feels immediate: two approaches to rhythm and energy, balance and harmony, coming together at a single point. Mortazavi's hypnotic live performances have been featured at renowned venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, Paris Pantheon and the Sydney Opera House. In recent years, Mortazavi's rhythmic explorations have resonated deeply with the experimental electronic music scene, leading to collaborations with artists such as Burnt Friedman and Mark Fell.

QUEALY, SAM	Jawbreaker	CD	MUSIC & CRAFT	MCSQ 005CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 With her sophomore album Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy cements her status as one of pop's most daring new voices. Like the cult candy it's named after, Jawbreaker is bold, addictive, and dangerously fun -- a sugar-coated explosion of chaos, glamour, and emotion. Produced alongside longtime collaborator Marlon Magnée (La Femme) between their Paris home studio and the legendary Studio Ferber, the album marks a striking evolution from Blonde Venus (2023). Here, Quealy trades the sharp edges of techno-pop for a lush, disco-infused sound, blending live instrumentation and cinematic sheen with her trademark anarchic energy. The result is a record that feels liberating, hedonistic, and deeply human -- a vibrant antidote to modern gloom. From the euphoric escape of "LONDONTOWN" to the dark romance of "LOVE LASSO," and the shimmering pop fantasy of "GIRLS NIGHT," Quealy channels a thousand versions of herself -- club queen, rock diva, dreamer, and provocateur. The ethereal duet "BY MY SIDE" with Magnée closes the album in a haze of tenderness and light. A multidisciplinary artist -- singer, dancer, performer, and visual visionary -- Quealy extends her universe through spectacular music videos and high-energy live shows that merge fashion, choreography, and raw emotion. On stage, she's magnetic: a whirlwind of hyper-femininity and power, commanding every room with unfiltered authenticity. With Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy delivers a fearless pop statement -- an exhilarating fusion of sensitivity, chaos, and self-expression that confirms her as a genre-defying visionary ready to take over the world.

NATURAL MAGIC	II	LP	OPTIMO MUSIC	OM 029X-LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Optimo Music presents Natural Magic's first album in 10 years. Natural Magic's II is a west coast road trip soundtrack for the fading summer. Taking inspiration from the majesty and myths of their home in the Pacific Northwest, the seven-track album is culled from the late night, dimly lit, live sessions of Mike McKinnon on keys/drums and Matthew Quiet on bass. Overdubs of guitar, synths and percussion followed. All this from the same space they throw their legendary limited-edition parties -- all-night free experimentation celebrations in their own right. The album art work is handmade flower pigments, opium poppy pollen ink and wood-scrap charcoal by their friend and collaborator Pith Cocomici. Roll the widows down, tilt the seat back and turn it up. Gas, grass or black mass -- there's magic in the hills. Includes insert.

FRANKIE & KELMAN DURAN	McArthur	LP	RAUM MUSIK	RAUM 007LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Berlin-based composer and vocalist FRANKIE, also known as Franziska Aigner, and Dominican-American producer Kelman Duran meet at the Twelve Apostles Church, in the Berlin district of Schöneberg, sometime in 2022, at the beginning of the spring season. They were each asked to engage the space's solemnity, and its reverence, through distinct performances. Their chance encounter, abounding with mutual curiosity towards each other's practices, smoothened the path for a years-long collaboration, culminating in McArthur, their first joint album. Following a period of exchanging musical fragments and prompts at a distance, Aigner and Duran come together in Athens, and later in Los Angeles, to prepare the stuff and material for the album, slowly developing a body of work informed by shared hauntings, and a commitment towards the disjointed and the residual. The result is an album where time and geography are made elastic, and where sonic improvisations become a site for quiet, and cryptic, articulations of intimacy. Throughout the album, there is a double process at play -- that of solitary work on the one hand, and of collective weeding out on the other. "BWV 639" is a reworking of a Bach cantata, the time signature of which Aigner stretches towards a new composition. Pianist Iris Moldiz recorded the part in Salzburg's Mozarteum, dislodging the classical canon into eerie territory. "Techno 127 BPM" invites Aigner's searing cello lines to unfurl over, and carve itself a space within, a skeletal techno beat. "McArthur" anchors a wandering trumpet solo by Zhang Hungtai against a deep bassline. Produced by Duran in Warp Studio, which overlooks McArthur Park in Los Angeles, the piece is an attempt at sketching a horizon of convergence, and of possibility. There is, across McArthur, a stubborn, if not militant, refusal to arrive at completeness, and an insistence on finding potentiality in the thresholds. If unknowability and the fear of extinction appear to rule our present conjuncture, then an accompanying soundtrack worthy of its name should express a determined engagement with, and a generous attunement to, the contradictions at play.

SEGALL & THE MUGGERS, TY	"LIVE" "AT" "THE" "BBC"	LP	SEA NOTE	SN 023LP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "January, 2016. The times: scary. Tomorrow: kiss it goodbye. This was the headspace for Emotional Mugger's necksnapping sketch when it dropped that very month those ten fateful years ago. Off the back of 2014's expansive Manipulator and the months of touring that followed, Ty was down to party with whatever extreme, flipped-script scene came welling up through him. Emotional Mugger, its forked tongue stuffed in deep cheek, landed the jump, putting the 'sick' back into 'satiric,' featuring eleven of the most rancid and monstrous cuts in the Segall catalog -- sequenced, as ever, with an almost mystic third eye/ ear predilection for the immaculate distribution of album gravity. Ty'd played most of the parts on the album, excepting some key drop-ins from close associates, including Wand's Cory Hanson and Evan Burrows, The Cairo Gang's Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin and King Tuff himself, Kyle Thomas. The vibes were so right with this crew, he dubbed them The Muggers, stretched a rubber baby mask over his head (with extra space sliced out for his mouth to scream through), and they all hit the road a few weeks in front of the album, rolling over the US through the end of March, then heading to Europe for some more. That's when "LIVE" "AT" "THE" "BBC" happened. They were cutting thru the UK, four shows in five days -- just enough time for a Mark Riley session for the BBC! Fifty shows into it, The Muggers were in full-on road mode, their fiveheaded monstrosity fully backing Ty -- who for perhaps the only time in all his years of touring -- carried only a mic, to focus all his energy on singing. Here, he leads the charge, his pipes deeply tanned, but otherwise unfettered from their nightly regimen. Hammering out a nineteen-minute slice of their regular show, he and The Muggers' free spirits can be heard in every single moment, with special weirdness coming whenever Cory, Emmett, Mikal and Kyle all chip in on backing vocals. It sounds, a decade hence, like the Black Flag version that never was."

PILLBERT	Memoria	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 035LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 On her debut LP Memoria, songwriter/producer Lilian Mikorey aka Pillbert contemplates themes of identity and belonging, hardships and heartbreak in her signature blend of bendy folk guitars, field recordings and intimate vocals. Moving to London from Munich, not yet 20 years old, Mikorey realized she was leaving her home behind for good. The subsequent state of being lost and alone in a place too temporary to start building the foundation for a new one led her to question the concept of home itself. Is it friends? Family? A house? "I started collecting objects, bones, sticks, stones and kept them close," she says, as to create a cosmos traveling with her. "I was tracing the actual feeling of being home to the point where I built a dreamhouse in my head, as an idea, just to evoke that feeling." Soon enough she would learn that yielding to the yearning of actually going to that house, must be an inevitably sad experience. A photo she took on a family visit to East-Munich became a reference and starting point for Memoria. It was a small house in her neighborhood, the windows lit as dusk sets in. To Mikorey, it looked haunting, radiating warmth but somehow looking abandoned at the same time. "I wanted to make music that sounds like this photo." She started recording the sounds of the objects she had gathered and of her surroundings, building an archive and sonic material to work with. From her mid-teens she had learned to produce with Ableton and now she picked up the guitar, too, learning it autodidactically by playing around, creating sounds. At some point in the process, she realized it's okay to be lost for a while and by enduring the feeling, there's room for something new to grow, far off from any general idea of what home should mean. The album, over the course of ten tracks, traces these three phases of building a home in your head, realizing it's not a remedy, nor forever and coming to terms with it. You've grown in the process and the album is a guiding light for everyone who strives to do so, too.

VA	Music from the Caucasus: The Archive of ORED Recordings, 2013-2023	CD	TAL	TAL 039CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 The label ORED Recordings was founded in 2013 by Circassian friends and fellow musicians Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko, in order to start an activity which is dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditional and post-traditional music of the North Caucasus. Khalilov and Kodzoko were excited about this music as it sounded like a force that transcends borders and in which time dissolves and community becomes the only compass. Through hundreds of field recordings from communal gatherings, local festivities, and family meetings, the label has captured a wide range of individual voices and their unique acoustic manifestations. All recordings on this album capture the raw expressiveness of mountainside villages. Music performances being played by people who dedicate their love to music and an additional willingness to share intimate emotions. Whereas most academic ethnomusicologist travel around the world in order to study foreign cultures, Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko were fascinated by what they just heard in the familiar regions of their then home town Nalchik. In resolut contrast to Russian academic circles they soon developed a DIY punk ethos for their far-reaching work, beginning to formulate their own language in the field of ethnomusicology and to push the traditions forward. However, the label's work goes far beyond mere preservation. The work of the label aims to reflect not only the great music of the Caucasus and its various communities but also to tell the stories behind it. They are stories of struggle, of independence, of working with historical memory in the present times of the 21st century. The compilation Music from the Caucasus provides a first introduction to the comprehensive work of ORED Recordings. For this collaborative release on TAL the recordings are being made accessible for the first ever time, all coming with extensive liner notes and yet unpublished photographs.

WALKER JR., BARRY	Paleo Sol	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 642CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Barry Walker Jr. is a pedal steel player and guitarist whose roots in Americana, country and folk traditions influence his melding of minimalism, ambient and spiritual music. The Portland-based instrumentalist is also a member of the Rose City Band, known for his gorgeous phrasing and deft interplay with guitarist Ripley Johnson. On Paleo Sol, Walker demonstrates his singular voice as a pedal steel player and composer. Evoking the American western ranges and basins, the album embodies a longer, geologic view of time that patiently marvels at the ripples of change throughout lifetimes and ages. Walker is joined on Paleo Sol by drummer Rob Smith (Rhytion, Pigeons) and bassist and Mouth Painter bandmate Jason Willmon (Fruited Planes). Paleo Sol's tranquil landscapes glide, built on warm finger-picked guitar figures and pedal steel swells coupled with deft percussion and bass touches by Smith and Willmon respectively. The trio plays with exceptional fluidity either completing each other's' phrasing or working together to build momentum. Smith notes: 'The drums are not keeping time as much as evidencing its elasticity, mixing into the other instruments, changing phase states.' Every gesture on the album is rich with intention, moving with grace and playing with timbre and time. The pieces of Paleo Sol were composed during a monumental shift in Walker's own life, around the birth of his first child. Walker's compositions are guided by a serenity and gentleness that makes for a dreamy soundtrack. His acumen as a composer and instrumentalist are on full display on Paleo Sol. The album is a gorgeous reflection of Walker's own internal world as well as the detailed environment he's spent so much of his life exploring as a field geologist. "In human reckoning, the essence of the solid earth is mostly still. Those engaged in deep time inquiry recognize the vigor of Earth's behavior, and quiescence is a small part of the action." --Barry Walker "This is drift music, sustained by dusky drones and quiet fingerstyle. Everything's as gentle as a sunkissed stream. The pathways that once felt free and clear now sport an uneasy shade, yet the guitar picks on." --NPR Music

Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever? is a singular album that speaks to the prowess of Drew Daniel as a composer and producer, deftly interlacing pop structure and classical timbre while interlacing subtle electronic sound design with gorgeous acoustics. Across the album Daniel embraces a spirit of drama and romanticism that blurs the boundaries between unconscious desire and everyday reality. The Soft Pink Truth has created a sound world of lavish fantasy that acts as a balm and counterpoint to the communal pains of modern life." "Like that clubber throwing dancefloor etiquette out of the window, The Soft Pink Truth create thrills in their quest for something deeper." --The Quietus "[Daniel] excoriates populism by making protest a deeply sensual act" --Uncut

HEKT, LANDE	Lucky Now	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 603CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Lande Hekt has quietly become one of the UK's best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length Going To Hell and 2022's House Without a View, she explored her queer identity, sobriety, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt, conversational indie-pop, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays, Throwing Muses, and The Beths. Her new album Lucky Now, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back), reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. Hekt's musical touchstones -- The Wedding Present, The Sundays, The Replacements -- remain the same, but at the same time she's delved deeper into other influences. Lucky Now is indebted to 1980s twee-pop and jangle-pop like The Pastels, Tallulah Gosh and The Bats, plus more modern iterations of the sound such as Autocamper and Jeanines, in its ecstatic, soaring melodies and gorgeous, tactile guitars. The sound is fitting for Hekt's new lyrical outlook, where, though despair and anxiety rear their heads, she digs deep to find the gratitude. "I wanted to try and push for something slightly more positive, which I'm trying to do more of generally -- just to not fall apart," Hekt says. In keeping with that, opening track "Kitchen ii" is a love song about sharing simple, domestic moments with a partner, while "Rabbits" is a song about hope inspired by one summer solstice spent on Glastonbury Tor. Meanwhile, the slower, acoustic-based "Middle of the Night" is about "reeling from a realization of being properly happy for the first time in my life," Hekt says. Hekt also returns to more politically-based songwriting, after largely avoiding politics in both life and music during a disillusioned period, on "Circular" and "A Million Broken Hearts". During the process of making the album, Hekt also moved from Bristol back to her hometown of Exeter. She wrote Lucky Now's closing track, "Coming Home", about the experience of returning there after a long tour; smelling the familiar smells, spotting the familiar faces. In a lot of ways, Lucky Now is about return -- return to joy, return to places and parts of the self once left behind. Who you once were can seem unreachable, but sometimes you can build a bridge.

MAIA, TIM	Tim Maia (1973)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 342LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Tim Maia's self-titled 1973 album is one of those records that hits you from the very first groove and doesn't let go. Originally released on Polydor Brazil, this was the fourth in a series of Tim's self-titled albums -- and many fans and critics still consider it the crown jewel. Packed with irresistible hooks, lush arrangements, and that unmistakable Tim Maia swagger, the album captures the singer at the peak of his creative powers. If you're new to Tim Maia, here's the quick story: born in Rio de Janeiro, Tim was a larger-than-life icon whose music married American soul and funk with Brazilian samba and pop long before "fusion" was a buzzword. A true musical polymath, he absorbed everything from Curtis Mayfield to Motown and translated it into a sound entirely his own -- gritty, passionate, and full of groove. He didn't just introduce soul to Brazil; he made it Brazilian. On this 1973 release, Tim pushes everything up a notch. The arrangements are bigger, slicker, and surprisingly majestic, without losing the raw spirit that earned him a devoted following. From the moment "Réu Confesso" opens the album, you know you're in for something special -- smooth, funky, and heartfelt in all the right ways. The bittersweet "Gostava Tanto de Você" remains one of his most beloved classics, while "O Balanço" bursts with Brazilian flavor that practically dares you not to move. And with tracks like "Do Your Thing, Behave Yourself" and "Over Again," Tim shows just how naturally the soul idiom fit him, even when he switched to English. This record has everything: deep grooves, soaring strings, magnetic vocals, and that unmistakable sense of joy that Tim Maia carried into every session. It's a front-to-back winner -- one of those albums that deserves a spot not just in Brazilian music history, but in any collection that celebrates great soul, funk, and timeless grooves. If you're a longtime fan, it's a reminder of why Tim Maia is legendary. If you're discovering him for the first time, this is the perfect place to start. Either way: press play, turn it up, and let Tim do his thing. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

BEN, JORGE	Jorge Ben (1969)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 343LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Jorge Ben is someone who needs no introduction. Since his first hits in the early '60s, this the greatest icons of the greatest icons of Brazilian pop music. His anthems "Mais Que Nada" or "Pais Tropical" are among two of the most ever listened Brazilian songs of all time. Ben's self-titled 1969 album is a true samba-soul masterpiece from one of Brazil's most creative voices. This isn't your typical late-'60s LP: Jorge Ben blends the hypnotic swing of samba with funk, psychedelia, and sun-soaked soul in a way that feels both classic and ahead of its time. Released in November 1969, this was Jorge Ben's sixth studio record, and his first back with the Philips label after a creative hiatus. He recorded it with the tight-knit, percussive groove of Trio Mocotó -- whose rhythms lock in beautifully with Ben's laid-back guitar and vocals. On top of that, the album features lush orchestral arrangements from José Briamonte and Rogério Duprat, adding a soaring, psychedelic dimension to Ben's sound. Standout tracks? You've got the joyous anthem "País Tropical," a perfect celebration of Brazilian life. Then there's "Take It Easy My Brother Charles," a socially conscious number that tells the story of a rebellious sailor -- Ben weaves in themes of race, identity, and resilience. And songs like "Que Pena" bring in that sweet, soulful melancholy, while breezy cuts like "Criola," "Domingas," and "Barbarella" highlight his playful, poetic side. This record is a rare blend of genres -- samba, soul, funk, psychedelia -- and it's got a timeless energy. Whether you're already into Brazilian music or just looking for something fresh and soulful, Jorge Ben's 1969 album is a joyous entry point. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

NEUE GRAFIK	Rachael	LP	WEEK-END RECORDS	WE 017LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Neue Grafik has steadily built a strong reputation in recent years with releases on esteemed labels such as Rhythm Section, 22a, CoOp Presents, and Wolf Music. His sound is a distinctive fusion of jazz, house, and hip hop, infused with his African heritage, Parisian background, and a deep appreciation for London genres like broken beat and grime.

Since then, there has been collaborations with notable artists including Nubya Garcia, Emma-Jean Thackray, Brother Portrait, Lord Apex, and Allysha Joy. The new album, Rachael, stands as Neue Grafik's most ambitious project to date. Developed over 2025, the album explores themes inspired by the character of Rachael from the movie Blade Runner, representing the journey of love in all means, intimate, raw, tough, organic and honest offering a rich, emotional journey that balances lightness with depth -- an introspective dive into the artist's evolving musical identity.

It moves between states of consciousness where such distinctions of enlightenment or self-deception are erased. Across ten tracks, the album constructs a spectrum of sound that is both ambitious and uncompromising. The approach here is more direct than recent releases, with textures that accumulate and disintegrate with renewed urgency.

MASON, LEE	Music By Lee Mason (1971)	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 119LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Wewantsounds reissues Music By Lee Mason, the cult classic from the Chappell Recorded Music Library, originally released in the UK in 1971. Credited to Lee Mason & His Orchestra, the album is in fact the work of renowned British composer and arranger Pete Moore -- best known for producing the iconic "Asteroid" theme in 1968 for the Pearl & Dean cinema advertising company. One of the funkiest library albums of its era, blending cinematic tension, funky grooves, and jazzy undertones, Music By Lee Mason features the track "Shady Blues," famously sampled by Madlib. Newly remastered and featuring liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre, this long-overdue reissue brings a lost classic back to vinyl for the first time since 1971. Recorded at the dawn of the prolific '70s UK library music boom, Music By Lee Mason was part of the successful Chappell Recorded Music series -- produced for television, film, and advertising professionals. Working under the "Lee Mason" alias, Pete Moore used the format to explore a wide palette of sounds: funky rhythm sections, fat horns, bumping bass lines, and catchy melodies that reveal both sophistication and swing. Across its eleven tracks, the album moves seamlessly between funky grooves, jazzy arrangements, and cinematic moods. "Shady Blues" in particular has become a cult favorite among crate-diggers, its slow-burning groove later sampled by Madlib for the Lootpack track "Answers" featuring Quasimoto, giving the piece new life in the spheres of hip-hop and digging culture. A prolific composer and orchestrator for television, radio, and film, Pete Moore (1924-2013) worked with the likes of Peggy Lee, Fred Astaire, and Connie Francis, bridging the worlds of orchestral scoring and modern jazz-pop arrangement. Alongside his celebrated commercial work, his contributions to the Chappell Music catalogue exemplify the depth and craft of British library composition during the 1960s and '70s. This reissue of Music By Lee Mason has been newly remastered and features exclusive liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre, who provides fresh insight into Moore's enduring influence of his music. With its sophisticated arrangements, catchy grooves, and unmistakable sense of mood, Music By Lee Mason stands as one of the defining statements of the British library era which Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue for the first time since 1971.

A monumental, three-volume encyclopedia of alphabetically organized images, Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars was first published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 1971. In the 1960s, German author and media artist Ferdinand Kriwet (1942-2018), inspired by concrete poetry and its interest in the visual quality of linguistic signs, began to approach the literary medium of the book in a new way. Imagining new ways of reading that resisted linearity, Kriwet experimented with alternatives, encouraging a rapid back-and-forth between the pages of the book and the texts and images on them. In Stars, he treats images like words and arranges them in alphabetical order in an epic encyclopedia format. For years, Stars has only been available, at considerable cost, in antiquarian book catalogs. This new facsimile edition of Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars brings Kriwet's pioneering vision and his seminal book back into print." 416 pages. 2.5 pounds. 5.50(w) x 8.75(h).

BUNDLE OF HISS	Audio Design Sessions: 1987-1988	LP	BANG! RECORDS	BANG 184LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Between 1987 and 1988, when Seattle was still a circuit of small clubs, four-track tapes and bands sharing drummers, Jack Endino went in to record one of the most solid -- and most unfairly invisible -- outfits of that scene: Bundle Of Hiss. Those sessions fell into limbo, stored in the basement of Dan Peters (who would soon go on to Mudhoney) and for years they were a kind of pre-grunge legend: everyone knew they existed, but there was no record, until Loveless Records from NYC released it on CD. This Bang! Records LP is, finally, that record. It gathers the core of those 1987-1988 recordings done by Endino: the moment when the band is tighter, darker and closer to what the press would later call the "Seattle sound": minor-key melodies, thick fuzz, vocals on the edge, and that mix of hard rock, punk and Sabbath-like heaviness fans would later hear in Mudhoney, TAD or early Soundgarden. Bang! Records is releasing this album on vinyl for the first time, just as it should have come out in the late '80s: a basement document turned into a collectible artifact. For those who want real grunge, not the domesticated version. Here is Bundle of Hiss exactly as Jack Endino captured them in 1987-1988.

CELIBATE RIFLES, THE	Blind Ear	LP	BANG! RECORDS	BANG 189LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Bang! Records presents the remastered vinyl reissue of Blind Ear (1989), the album where The Celibate Rifles take their punk instincts to the next level -- garage muscle, surgical precision, and a rock'n'roll pulse that sounds more urgent than ever today. Formed in Sydney in 1979, the band appears here in full flight: two guitars in constant dialogue, a rhythm section with newfound dynamic range, and a razor-edged vocal that bites without losing melody. The remaster opens up the stereo image, sharpens the six-string detail, and restores to the turntable the physical punch this record demanded from day one; it's the definitive way to (re)discover a key title from the Australian school. The tracklist is pure traction: "Some Kind of Feeling" hits the ground running with speed and focus; "Wonderful Life '88" nails an instant hook and a clear-eyed critique of yuppie culture; and the closer, "O Salvation," lands as an expansive, cathartic statement of intent. Two tracks unusual in Australian rock for their subject matter -- "Sean O'Farrell" and "Belfast" -- tackle the Northern Ireland conflict head-on and underscore the band's social gaze, while the rest of the album maintains a no-filler intensity. This edition preserves the original LP sequence (the two bonus tracks existed only on the period CD) and stands as an essential piece for collectors and front racks alike: ideal for in-stores, listening bars, and classic alternative rock playlists. If your audience connects with BORED!, Radio Birdman, The New Christs, or The Saints, Blind Ear is an unequivocal yes.

ASAHITO, NANJO	M	LP	BLACK EDITIONS/LA MUSICA RECORDS	BELA 005-045LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Nanjo Asahito, the notorious leader of some of Japan's key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital. From the original La Musica cassette notes: "A compilation of secret projects recorded over a period of twenty years. Deeply personal music that achieves a strange balance between beat folk balladry and off-key mumbling. Suggestive self-celebratory music conceived as a confirmation of existence." A lesser-known side of Nanjo Asahito -- if all you know of his work is the overloaded, intensified psych-rock and free-sound of his group projects then the solo songs on M gently redraw the contours of Nanjo's private universe. There's something gem-like in the way these five songs are formed, even as they accrue grit and dirt while drifting out of the speakers. Here, Nanjo grabs handfuls of gentle chord changes, allows them to rotate in the air, suspended in reverb, flickering in half-light, as he murmurs drowsy melodies. The closing "Eucharist" pushes everything through a thin layer of distortion; elsewhere, tinkling piano, from guest Matsuoka Takashi, who also performed with Keiji Haino's Nijiumu, disturbs dust molecules to dance through hazy air. LP is housed in die-cut "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic gold ink and soft touch finishes with printed inner sleeve. Vinyl pressed at RTI.

$43.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 White vinyl version. Cold Spring marks a decade since the label first released Coil's landmark album Backwards, with a special 10-year anniversary vinyl reissue. After the ground-breaking release of 1990's Love's Secret Domain album, Coil were not dormant; the main project was Backwards, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the magic of the Nothing studios of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The album saw the fruition of Jhonn Balance's recent vocal coaching, producing haunting, passionate vocals, while reaching new heights. 23 years after its initiation, these tracks have been beautifully preserved by Danny Hyde and are finally available in highest quality audio. Differing substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, "The New Backwards" (2008), Backwards contains the original versions of Coil's much-loved tracks; "A Cold Cell" and "Fire Of The Mind," which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended. This album is the essential bridge between LSD and the later "Musick To Play In The Dark" series. It is an essential conduit, to understand the journey that was taken. 180g heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail.

MOORE, ANTHONY	Monkey's Birthday	LP	PARADIGM DISCS	PD 042LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 The collaboration between Anthony Moore and filmmaker David Larcher began in the late '60s, at the start of both their respective careers and lasted many years. Following on from the 2024 release of the soundtrack to Mare's Tail (PD 041LP) (the first collaboration with Larcher) comes the release of the soundtrack to his second film, Monkey's Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this six-hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo masters that have survived through the decades. Shot and edited between 1973 and 1975 this epic film moves through a variety of landscapes, both physical and abstract. It was filmed in various locations, starting in Germany and moving through Hungary, Romania and most substantially in rural Turkey. In large part this is a road movie that takes the filmed events and locations and uses them as sources for further experimentation. In much the same way, the location recordings made by Anthony Moore are used as raw material for creating much of the soundtrack, working from a battery powered studio in the back of his truck in this east bound convoy. The previously released excerpt, "Plains Of Hungary (ReR Quarterly Vol.2 No.1)" is included on this album in its rightful place among the collages of Islamic chant, field recordings, tape loops, jam sessions etc. Heathcote Williams is also in the mix reading from esoteric texts. Also feature, alongside various voices from the crew and general public, is a repeated theme using the looped cut up voice recordings from the two other members of Slapp Happy (Dagmar Krause and Peter Blegvad), who took to the road for part of this grueling journey. Comes with large four-sided insert. Numbered edition of 500.

$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Across an extensive suite of enchanting miniatures, Matthias Kremsreiter and Christian Schoppik present the hypnagogic vision of Taghelle Nacht. Recording under their respective Roudi Vagou and Läuten der Seele aliases, Kremsreiter and Schoppik combine their distinct but equally accomplished instrumental practices into a new collaboration that weaves swooning samples amongst instrumental passages. They lead listeners through 16 vignettes that revel in the cognitive dissonance and seductive magic of moonlight at midnight. Both artists have past form within the folds of contemporary experimental electronic music in Germany. Kremsreiter's work as alibikonkret has manifested on DIY tape releases created with a methodical, technically-minded approach. Debuting his Roudi Vagou pseudonym on Taghelle Nacht, he pivots to a more playful, instinctively felt method that allows the compositions to flow with a natural cadence. Schoppik has been a key figure in the celebrated dark-ambient-folk scene, not least as part of the group Brannten Schnüre. His work as Läuten der Seele includes the acclaimed "water trilogy" of LPs between 2022 and 2024, with a greater emphasis on instrumental, atmospheric production, and a last, stunning collaborative album with Nový Svět's Jota Solo. On Taghelle Nacht the precise ingredients of each piece soften at the edges as tape loops and swathes of reverb seal the joints between spellbinding melodic refrains. At every turn a new scene is painted, distinct from the last and yet all bound up in the pervasive, pale blue light cast over the sleeping landscape Kremsreiter and Schoppik have sculpted. Snatches of song drift by like dreamlike fragments, and achingly tender flourishes fleetingly appear and retreat -- ideas and expressions momentarily caught in the light before retreating into the shadows once more. This is the evocative world of Taghelle Nacht -- an unsettling depiction of the surreal blend of memories and imagination that merge into each other once the sun goes down.

YAMILA	Noor	LP	UMOR REX	UR 159LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Yamila presents her second album on Umor Rex, Noor. Following Visions (UR 137LP, 2022), Yamila returns with a work that merges nature-experience listening with expansive musicality. Noor was born from her time in an ecologist community, where she sought refuge in stillness, learned from animals, and tried to forget the human. In this communion with nature, she discovered a new compositional approach: reducing acoustic noise to allow unheard voices to emerge, transforming music into a possibility for interspecies dialogue. Since ancient times, sound has been used to care for herds, to call across distances, to communicate with the non-human. Noor reimagines that ancestral role in a contemporary language, where epic harmonies collide with delicate micro-tonalities, and where rhythm unfolds not only as pulse but as movement for the body, a natural extension of Yamila's work with dance companies and choreographers. Her voice is interwoven with electronics and the resonant strings of Echo Collective, creating sonic landscapes that radiate intensity and fragility. At times monumental, at others almost whispered, Noor oscillates between composition and spontaneity, structure and suspension. The album unfurls as a dialogue between the organic and the artificial, where sound grows like a sprout breaking through hard soil. Yamila's music here is not only to be heard, but to be inhabited: a choreography of air, vibration, and resonance. Noor is both shelter and revelation, a reminder that music can still be epic, luminous, and deeply human, while listening beyond the human. All music and voices by Yamila Ríos. Recorded at Destelheide by Christophe Albertijn. Strings by Trio Echo Collective (Violin: Margaret Hermant, Viola: Neil Leiter, Cello: Stijn Kuppens). Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY. Photos by Assiah Alcázar. Design and layout by Daniel Castrejón. LP comes on red color vinyl. Includes download code.

BORGES, LO	Lo Borges	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 338LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Before he turned 20, Lô Borges released one of the most captivating albums to come out of Brazil's rich musical landscape -- a record that somehow flew under the radar at the time but has since become a cult favorite for listeners around the world. Recorded in the same whirlwind year as the legendary Clube da Esquina -- the groundbreaking collaboration with Milton Nascimento and Beto Guedes -- this self-titled solo debut finds Lô Borges in full creative flight. Pressured by Odeon Records to deliver a solo project, Borges responded with a burst of youthful brilliance, sometimes writing a song in the morning and laying it down in the studio that very night. The result? An album that's spontaneous, heartfelt, and sonically stunning. From the shimmering guitars of "Você Fica Melhor Assim" to the dreamy melodies of "Canção Postal" and the jazz-infused groove of "Calibre," the album blends Brazilian popular music with rock, soul, and subtle psychedelic touches. It's got the intimate spirit of a bedroom recording, but with the musical sophistication of legends -- with collaborators like Toninho Horta, Tenorio Jr., Nelson Angelo, and of course, Beto Guedes helping bring Borges' vision to life. Fans of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, or early Nascimento will feel right at home here -- but Lô Borges brings his own voice, at once tender and electrifying, to every track. The guitars are fuzzy, the harmonies rich, and the songwriting nothing short of magical. Though it didn't make a splash in 1972, Lô Borges has only grown in stature over the years. It's the kind of album you discover once, then return to again and again -- a timeless treasure from a young artist who helped redefine Brazilian music from the ground up. If you're into warm, soulful songwriting with a touch of experimental edge, this record is waiting for you. Give it a listen -- and see why Lô Borges is considered one of Brazil's most underrated masterpieces. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

AUFDERHAAR AND CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, CHRISTINE	Aurora's Sunrise (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)	2LP	WRWTFWW RECORDS	WRWTFWW 121LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 WRWTFWW Records presents a super limited vinyl release of Christine Aufderhaar and City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's original soundtrack for the critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning 2022 animated-documentary film Aurora's Sunrise. The release comes as a 45rpm double LP in a heavyweight sleeve with inside out print. Aurora's Sunrise is directed by Inna Sahakyan, and tells the extraordinary true story of Aurora Mardiganian, a survivor of the Armenian genocide who later became an actress in the United States. The film combines animated storytelling, archival footage, interviews, and rediscovered scenes from the 1919 silent film, and one of Hollywood's first blockbusters, Auction of Souls, in which Aurora starred. Aurora's Sunrise was Armenia's official submission for the 95th Academy Awards for best international feature film. It has won over 20 international prizes. The composer, Christine Aufderhaar, is an accomplished German composer based in Berlin and Los Angeles, with over 20 years of experience and more than 50 films to her name. Her background spans classical, jazz, film scoring, and contemporary orchestral work, and she has been the recipient of numerous awards for her work. The soundtrack performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is deeply emotional, blending intimate melodies and majestic orchestral work, and weaving together themes of memory, survival, loss, and hope. A perfect fit for collectors of film scores, contemporary classical music, and limited vinyl releases.

WORK MONEY DEATH	A Portal to Here	CD	ATA RECORDS	ATA 044CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 ATA Records present the new release by Work Money Death, A Portal to Here. This album continues WMD's exploration of spiritual jazz and the sounds and styles that evolved out of the '60s New Thing, particularly the recordings of Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders. The first WMD album released since the tragic death of ATA guitarist Chris Earl Dawkins in early 2025, all four tracks reference the journey that band members and the studio have been on -- in many ways this record is a testament and tribute to Chris, his musicality and creativity. Featuring WMD stalwarts Tony Burkill, Neil Innes, Sam Hobbs, and Sam Bell, the album introduces Sorcerers keyboardist Johnny Richards to the WMD sound. Richards brings a fresh new take to the piano role here, drawing on what is clearly a broad knowledge of jazz history and channeling that through his own unique 21st century musical perspective. The album also features contributions from Alice Roberts on harp, bringing the spirit of Alice Coltrane, Ben Powling on baritone saxophone, Richard Ormrod on woodwind, and Kev Holbrough and Steve Parry on brass. Those Sun Ra-esque horn sections lift the mood whenever they appear. Standout tracks are the second, "Dance of the Spirits," with a strong core of "Baptism and The Blues" and some lovely playing by Richards, and the third track, "Brother Earl," which begins with Tony on flute over rhythms that are directly reminiscent of open-hearted, late-'60s spirituality. A Portal to Here is a stunning addition to the WMD catalogue and a clear statement that the band continues to create and produce, whatever life throws its way.

SCHLIPPENBACH TRIO	Elf Bagatellen	2LP	CIEN FUEGOS	CF 031LP
$43.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 The historical importance, influence, and stature of the Schlippenbach Trio was cemented long ago. Formed in 1970 by German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early days of European free jazz, the group also featured British saxophonist Evan Parker and German drummer Paul Lovens, and soon formed the core of the mighty Globe Unity Orchestra from that point on. As heard on its 1972 debut for FMP Pakistani Pomade -- reissued by Cien Fuegos back in 2015 -- its foundational music helped establish the group's feverish free improvisation as a dominant thread in the history of European free jazz. The intellectual and artistic curiosity of the group's members, to say nothing of their paradigm-shifting technique and collective sensibility, changed the course of free improv forever. Schlippenbach Trio soon snapped back into its working methodology on its follow up album, Physics, in 1993, which further elevates the singularity of Elf Bagatellen. The album captured a different side of the trio and helped inform the modern classical tilt in European improvised music. Cien Fuegos now reissues this undeniable classic, making it available on vinyl for the first time ever.

A hypnotic sound with a high degree of experimentation, underground psych and acid avant-garde music, often likened to The Velvet Underground -- but filtered through a distinctly West Coast lens.

A blurring of three vastly different heads into a single disjointed, but fluid organism, How So? finds Yuta Matsumura (The Lewers, Keanu Nelson), Amelia Besseny (Troth, Impatiens) and Cooper Bowman (Troth, CD3) working with vocals, melodica, deeply pulled samples, guitar, drum machine, synths and resourceful percussion. An Elixa-blueprint of sideways ambient rituals, fog-thick melodica dub and paranoid trip hop by way of Sydney's pioneering industrial collagists, the LP recirculates beyond its original 150-copy confines for those who missed its first apparition.

KMRU	Kin	CD	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 319CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Editions Mego welcomes KMRU back to the fold. Kin is Kenyan born, Berlin based, sonic wizard Joseph Kamaru's second release on Editions Mego, following on from the classic 2020 release Peel (EMEGO 289CD/LP). Since the release and subsequent praise for Peel, the artist has been a staple on the electronic scene performing on numerous stages and festivals worldwide in tandem with a flood of media recognition. Kin could be construed as the second child following Peel. The project came out of initial discussions with Peter Rehberg about what a Peel sequel would sound like. It is a deft ambiguity and vague tiptoeing around the concrete that encapsulates the ambiguous sound world of Kamaru's vision. Kin was started early 2021 in Nairobi with Kamaru exploring his noisier palette of sounds encompassing distortions reminiscent of the sounds he would muster from in his youth when playing guitar. He paused making this record for a year as soon as Peter died, then slowly returned to it through 2022 resulting in this immense new work. The charms within Kin lay as Easter eggs revealing the true identity behind the colorful sonics only after multiple deep listens. "With Trees Where We Can See" sets the tone by way of a warm swaying melody inviting the listener in for further investigation. In 2022 KMRU and Mego stalwart Fennesz toured the USA together resulting in a strong friendship and also, the second track here, "Blurred." A neat Mego/Editions Mego loop as such. "Blurred" arranges twangy guitar strums alongside glistening glaciers of shimmering drones. "They Are Here" represents a darker hue as melancholic clouds of shadowy noir tap directly into the listener's nerve stream. "Maybe" takes a detour into a bristling euphoric electronic storm whilst "We Are" screeches in a pattern formation not unlike a highly abstracted Aphex Twin forcing its way out of a hard drive. "By Absence" concludes proceedings, operating as both exit music and a portal to further sonic investigation with acoustic bellowing residing amongst a kaleidoscopic backdrop. Kin is a trip that rewards close repeated listens as all the colors and textures, nuance and narratives unveil themselves.

DAPHNI	Butterfly	CD	JIAOLONG	JIAOLONG 034CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Daphni's fourth studio album Butterfly at first picks up where his last album, 2022's Cherry left off. Though a sizeable gap for Daphni releases, between Cherry and Butterfly however of course sits Honey, the latest Caribou album and one that saw the more instantaneous and dancefloor leaning traits of Daphni peaking through the cracks more than ever before. This blurring of the lines leads to an intriguing collaboration in Butterfly's lead single "Waiting So Long" (feat. Caribou). An unlikely duo -- in that both artists are the same man, Dan Snaith -- it is not so much an identity crisis, ego trip, or the result of a chemical spill in the Snaith laboratory. It's simply a track that Snaith felt for the first time belongs to both aliases, and might appeal to fans of both. Daphni music has always been Snaith's way of hitting directly to the core of the dancefloors he spends so much of his time playing to, and those dancefloors have been steadily expanding as his name grows, with the music following suit. This album however also draws from further back with a definite kinship to the very first Daphni album, the invigorating bag of ideas that was Jiaolong. Butterfly is a showcase of the wonderful variety and surprising twists and turns that made that album such an exciting new prospect and that still to this day make Snaith such an intriguing DJ. There are more heavy hitters here, tracks that fill those dancefloors better than anyone, like "Clap Your Hands" which picks up the energy of "Sad Piano House" and flips it, exposing the gritty and intoxicating underbelly of Snaith's hitmaking side, while retaining the playful urgency that runs through all of his work of late. Meanwhile "Hang"'s comic-strip horns are unpinned by gleeful force, unrelenting and thrillingly unshakeable. Elsewhere though comes a clutch of other tunes that might creep out somewhere more off the beaten path, a path Snaith has never stopped seeking in amongst his larger billings. "Lucky" is squirmy and elusively intoxicating, "Invention" skitters down meandering, inviting corridors, "Talk To Me" grumbles and broods in the murk, and "Miles Smiles" could roll on endlessly, so confident in its groove. Right from the inception of the Daphni alias, the thrill of trying stuff out, pushing at the boundaries has always been there and on Butterfly is present in all its twists and turns. Also available on black (JIAOLONG 034LP) and pink color vinyl (JIAOLONG 034CLP).

This blurring of the lines leads to an intriguing collaboration in Butterfly's lead single "Waiting So Long" (feat. Caribou). An unlikely duo -- in that both artists are the same man, Dan Snaith -- it is not so much an identity crisis, ego trip, or the result of a chemical spill in the Snaith laboratory. It's simply a track that Snaith felt for the first time belongs to both aliases, and might appeal to fans of both. Daphni music has always been Snaith's way of hitting directly to the core of the dancefloors he spends so much of his time playing to, and those dancefloors have been steadily expanding as his name grows, with the music following suit. This album however also draws from further back with a definite kinship to the very first Daphni album, the invigorating bag of ideas that was Jiaolong. Butterfly is a showcase of the wonderful variety and surprising twists and turns that made that album such an exciting new prospect and that still to this day make Snaith such an intriguing DJ. There are more heavy hitters here, tracks that fill those dancefloors better than anyone, like "Clap Your Hands" which picks up the energy of "Sad Piano House" and flips it, exposing the gritty and intoxicating underbelly of Snaith's hitmaking side, while retaining the playful urgency that runs through all of his work of late. Meanwhile "Hang"'s comic-strip horns are unpinned by gleeful force, unrelenting and thrillingly unshakeable. Elsewhere though comes a clutch of other tunes that might creep out somewhere more off the beaten path, a path Snaith has never stopped seeking in amongst his larger billings. "Lucky" is squirmy and elusively intoxicating, "Invention" skitters down meandering, inviting corridors, "Talk To Me" grumbles and broods in the murk, and "Miles Smiles" could roll on endlessly, so confident in its groove. Right from the inception of the Daphni alias, the thrill of trying stuff out, pushing at the boundaries has always been there and on Butterfly is present in all its twists and turns.

ELSAS	APORIAMOR	LP	LAPSUS RECORDS	LAPSUS 043LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 APORIAMOR explores the affective ontological and organic processes of love and lust in the turmoil of an urban existence, through the female lens. It expresses the process of strengthening through heartbreak in its various forms. With her debut EP The Art of the Concrete, elsas knew that by giving that name to a record which was ironically expansive and experimental, she would be calling for a distilled and clearer path further down the line. This is what she's been incorporating into the sonic world of this new album, APORIAMOR, signifying the birth of a more matured and distilled version of herself as an artist. With APORIAMOR elsas conveys a personal process of healing in the romantic space. Through different experiences of heartbreak, elsas builds a language -- a coping mechanism attached to its subsequent artistic expression -- that isn't founded on hardness or a closing-off, but instead, on a playful but profound reckoning, and learning of self-worth. APORIAMOR embraces the complexities of being a lover-girl: of moving through life with an open heart. It celebrates the clarity, sweet hindsight, and detachment that come from processing emotion. Her sound in this record is naturally referential of both her Mediterranean heritage and UK alternative music -- intrinsic parts of her lived experience. She has had the opportunity to collaborate with artists she deeply admires, each exchange enriching her creative world. The experience of working hand-in-hand with Sampha has been a core of her evolution as an artist. She has also collaborated in many forms with artists like Florence + the Machine, Little Simz, Jordan Rakei, Jockstrap, Obongjayar, Black Country New Road, Genevieve Artadi (KNOWER) and Duval Timothy. Additionally, her ongoing work with the Idrîsî Ensemble, of which she is a core member, continues to inform her artistic depth. Experimentation and modulation are an intrinsic part of elsas' method, conceiving songs as organisms that respond to their surroundings. Collaborators on this collection of songs include Shrink, Will Lister, Gabriel Gifford, Ethan P. Flynn and more. The record was mixed by David Wrench and Nathan Boddy, and mastered by Matt Colton.

ROOS, JAIME	La Margarita	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 161LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Jaime Roos and Mauricio Rosencof are two of Uruguay's most beloved and influential artists. Roos, a groundbreaking musician, redefined Uruguayan music in the 1980s with his signature fusion of deep-rooted local rhythms and cosmopolitan flair. Rosencof, a celebrated writer and playwright who emerged in the early 1960s, was also a prominent figure in the historic Tupamaros guerrilla movement. Their paths converged in 1987, when Roos composed the score for Rosencof's play El Regreso del Gran Tuleque. During this collaboration, Roos discovered a series of sonnets Rosencof had written while imprisoned under Uruguay's brutal dictatorship. Held in solitary confinement for over eleven years, Rosencof composed these poems as a lifeline -- scribbled on cigarette papers and hidden in the hems of clothes his family collected for laundering. Against all odds, both the author and his poems survived. The sonnets tell a delicate, moving love story set in 1950s Montevideo. Roos, inspired and captivated, rose to the challenge of transforming them into music. The result was La Margarita -- a groundbreaking project in which Roos masterfully fused Uruguay's rich musical traditions -- candombe, murga, tango, and milonga -- with elements of folk and rock, creating a deeply evocative set of songs as only he could deliver. Beyond its beautiful music, La Margarita stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of love and art. LP includes booklet.

ESKORBUTO	Maldito País: Primera Época 1982-84	2CD	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 297CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 In Santurtzi, on the left bank of the Nervión estuary, a unique band was born: Eskorbuto. Iosu Expósito and Jualma Suarez lived in working class neighborhoods that had grown fast. Both Kabiezes and Mamariga were, in the '50s, mainly rural areas of Santurtzi. In the '60s, industrialization and rampant development transformed them into urban areas without any investment in urbanism. Some elements for the alchemy led to the explosion: intelligent young guys who were nevertheless incapable of adhering to school discipline, a country in full swing towards freedom after 40 years of dictatorship. It was a context very familiar with the turbulence of the "Basque conflict," with neighbors seduced by the "armed fight" and the "liberation of Euskal Herria," with the question of "identity" constantly present, traumatic episodes of killings, tortures and imprisonments. One day at the end of the '70s they decided to start a band. The first period of Eskorbuto's life, before the damage done by the needle became noticeable, was incredibly fruitful. They soon found a rehearsal space, thanks to their first drummer, and there the first songs were born. Iñaki Laiseka played bass for them, and that role was also taken by "Seni" and "Garlopa", two precursors of "left bank" punk that played some gigs with them. Later on they found Paco Galán, who also came from a similar neighborhood to theirs (Repélega, in Portugalete). Paco always was the necessary engine, the piece around which the rest revolved, which guaranteed continuity. His drumming also added an apparently chaotic element to the already unbridled guitar melodies and visionary texts, halfway between dirty realism and Edgar Allan Poe's nightmares. These recordings are taken from those early times of excitement and vertigo, of journeys to Madrid under a train's seat and endless trips up and down the left bank looking for "someone that I've heard is selling an amp". Now the Reina Sofía Museum exhibits their Impuesto Revolucionario LP and there's no Spanish speaking country without legions of fans.

ESKORBUTO	Los Demenciales Chicos Acelerados	CD	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 350CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Los demenciales chicos acelerados is Eskorbuto's fourth studio album, originally released by Discos Suicidas in 1987. It was their most ambitious project, a double LP rock opera in the vein of Quadrophenia by their beloved The Who. It tells the story of an unscrupulous young man who wishes to achieve power at all costs, stepping over everyone and everything in order to do whatever he wants politically. In the end, he falls due to his ego and is betrayed by those around him. Hence lines such as "crowds are a nuisance", "I'll come unscathed out of the attacks planned by my image consultant" or "shouting in front of the scum". In 1988 band members Iosu and Juanma narrated the album's concept and story on a Radio Euskadi show, the Basque Country's public broadcaster. This satirical political plot also explains the controversial Nazi pictures on the front and back covers. Eskorbuto were equaling the unprincipled politician of their rock opera with the Nazis and Franco's dictatorship. It's a conceptual record that attacks any kind of dictatorial political regime. Although Los demenciales came out on Discos Suicidas, in typical Eskorbuto fashion the band stole a copy of the master and sold it to the Twins label, which also released it a few months later with a different cover. The original sleeve caused some trouble, to say the least, with its combination of Nazi photos and the Spanish flag on the back accompanied by the words "Of national interest." The album contains new versions of a few previous tracks such as "Ratas rabiosas" and "Enterrado vivo" plus the studio version of "Más allá del cementerio." For the recording the band enrolled keyboardist Aitor Amezaga, who would also collaborate on their next album.

The project also features Per Mertanen (bass), member of cult band Décima Víctima, known for crafting a very distinctive sound with echoes of Joy Division, The Cure, and other British post-punk groups. Now united in this new musical adventure called Juegos Nocturnos, they present nine guitar-driven, sophisticated pop rock tracks that showcase influences shaped over more than four decades of musical career, recorded between 2020 and 2022.

LOS INDIOS	Los Indios	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 495LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 The birth of Los Indios took place at a key moment for Bolivian music, in May 1968, during the "Festival de la Canción" held at the Félix Capriles Stadium. This event was a milestone for the so-called Bolivian new wave, featuring various groups from all over the country. A month later, Jorge Filipo Dalence, in association with Freddy Valdivieso, decided to launch their own band, Los Indios, ready to make their mark on the music scene. Their discography includes one LP and a handful of EPs released on the Caracol and Imperio labels. Their album not only showcases their musical talent but also represents an important moment in the evolution of rock in Bolivia. The combination of their unique style helped open new doors for other artists in the country's music scene. By 1969, the group was enjoying overwhelming success and widespread popularity. This collection brings together some of their best recordings, captured over the course of their short life as a band, blending beat sounds with garage rawness through a repertoire full of covers of artists such as Deep Purple, Wilson Pickett, and Eduardo Araujo (via Los Iracundos). This is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history.

Years of experience have brought a deep focus and awareness of textures, space and emotion that reveal a producer at the top of his game. From the sound of slowly moving mountains that is the title track "Canada" to the breakbeat-laden "Hero BK" and collaborations with Sophia Stel, Tom VR, and Yussh, it's easy to hear why this album is special. Beltran notes, "Everything from the scenery to the people just made sense, so I decided to dedicate this record to them and that beautiful country." He adds, "I think you'll hear a little bit of all of the Placid records in this one. I encapsulated what the project has always been and will continue to be moving forward." On Canada, the past is present in a joyous way, a record full of emotion and ambience connecting nostalgia with the now.

MEDUSA	Medusa	LP	OUT-SIDER	OSR 118LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Proto-doom metal/stoner/hard-rock by this Mexican band formed in 1972, including their mega-rare early '70s singles plus later material in the same raw vein. Born on Día de los Muertos in 1972, Medusa emerged from Mexico City with a mission: to forge heavy, hard, Spanish-language rock rooted in social awareness and poetic force. Guitarist Luis Antonio "Toño" Urquiza, drummer Víctor Moreno, and bassist/vocalist Javier Plascencia shaped their sound influenced by bands like Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath, as well as the turbulence of the 1968 Student Movement, the 1971 Halconazo, and the creative explosion surrounding the legendary Avándaro Festival. Friends and contemporaries of bands like Peace & Love, the Dug Dug's, and El Ritual, Medusa quickly stood out for their powerful live presence and politically charged energy. They released their mega rare first single in 1973 and then an EP followed in 1974, but their refusal to compromise their artistic direction led to being dropped before completing a full LP -- pushing them into self-produced, underground recordings throughout the following decades. Despite media marginalization, Medusa remained active into the mid-1980s, playing everywhere from stadiums and TV to prisons and "hoyos fonkis." After a decade-long hiatus, they resurfaced in 1994 to a new generation that embraced them as pioneers of heavy metal and early stoner rock in Mexico. Later joined by Jaime García Mares, they reaffirmed their status with a landmark 2006 national TV appearance. In 2015, after more sporadic performances and demos, Medusa were honored by Tianguis del Chopo and recognized by the National Sound Archive as the founders of stoner rock in Mexico, becoming subjects of books and a Rolling Stone special on Mexican rock. Shortly after, the band closed a 43-year chapter and its members moved on to personal projects. Now, thanks to recordings rescued from Víctor Moreno's personal archives, Medusa's early work -- including their four tracks from the '70s and additional raw and unadulterated sessions from the '80s-'90s -- finally appears in long-play format.

ZAVALA, MALENA	If This Life Could Start Again	CD	PARANA	PARANA 003CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Malena Zavala is an Argentinian-born, London-based artist, producer, and filmmaker, known for crafting ethereal, genre-blending music that navigates the space between her Latin heritage and her British upbringing. With If This Life Could Start Again, Zavala presents her most intimate, cohesive, and accomplished work to date, marking a significant evolution in her artistic journey. With her new album, Malena creates an atmospheric dream pop world, weaving singer-songwriter intimacy with synth pop, Argentine folk, indiepop, rock and experimental music, threaded together by her blissful vocals and dreamy guitar work. Gorgeously warm and vivid, If This Life Could Start Again charts the journey from pain to acceptance, mapping out the non-linear nature of healing through a sonic landscape. Each song embodies a distinct emotion within that journey, from grief and chaos to feeling lost, seeking refuge, finding confidence, and finally acceptance and letting go. Drawing on her Argentinian roots, Malena uses the Andes mountains as both a visual and thematic anchor -- the difficult climb towards higher ground becomes a metaphor for healing, whilst being lost at rock bottom reflects the darkest moments of the journey. Completely composed and performed by Malena herself, the album was recorded in Girona's L'Empordà countryside in Spain with producer Luke Smith. As a professional producer and audio engineer, this was Malena's first time relinquishing production control -- an intimate creative shift that allowed their shared vision to shape the album's rich, enveloping sound. However, Zavala's career to date has been a testament to self-sufficient artistry. If This Life Could Start Again, is a raw and transformative eight-track journey that maps the emotional landscape of healing. Written after a period of personal upheaval, the album traverses themes of grief, hereditary trauma, and self-discovery. Sonically, this journey mirrors the non-linear path to acceptance, evolving from acoustic folk and synth-pop to funk-infused rhythms and rock anthems.

LOS ROGER'S	Que Ardiente!	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 345LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Iquitos, one of Peru's most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia movement. Countless bands emerged from this place, each with a different fate in their musical journeys. Some rose to become international stars and flag bearers of cumbia, while others remained local legends, their fame never traveling far beyond the Amazon jungle. Los Roger's achieved great success in Iquitos and served as the foundation and inspiration for many local bands that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. ¡Qué ardiente! combines the best of the band's limited discography. The recordings come from their first 45 RPM single and their two mini-LPs for the FTA label, as well as their only elusive LP from 1971, ¡Qué ardiente!, ("How Burning!") recorded for the prestigious IEMPSA label. Their discography dives deep into Cuban-influenced sounds, where the guitar shares the spotlight with powerful percussion and -- with tracks like "Descarga Roger's" -- with the vocals as well. Los Roger's came to an abrupt end just one year after the release of their LP, at the peak of their career, due to their disappointments with the music industry.

VASQUEZ Y SU CONJUNTO, ANGEL	La Gustadera	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 346LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Ángel Vásquez brought Antillean shades into the accordion tradition of a region overflowing with juglares, as the Colombian northern coast has always been. Vásquez built a monumental songbook where pachanga, charanga, son, cumbia, and even the Puerto Rican countryside, Boricua sound, played leading roles. His few recordings carried a remarkable stylistic range, making it difficult to put him into any single category -- a quality that led to a style he himself called vasquesón. In the early seventies, he released through Discos Fuentes a single that would become one of the anthems of the Barranquilla Carnival: "Pica pica en carnaval," a tropical, electrifying gem with a guarachero flow so unmistakable that it's still a staple in verbenas, neighborhood dances, and picó parties today. La gustadera comprises a muscular, rhythm-packed ride moving from pachanga to paseaito, passing through charanga, porro, son and, of course, vasquesón -- a full-on celebration where the accordion leads the dance. Here, direct lines are drawn between Colombian coastal folklore and Afro-Antillean sound -- pure joy painted with the everyday imagery of coastal life. First time reissue of this mega rare Ángel Vásquez album.

British singer-songwriter Lucy Kitt presents her highly-anticipated second album, Telling Me, a deeply personal collection that shifts focus from introspection to storytelling, capturing the lives and struggles of those closest to her. Drawing from her love of '70s Laurel Canyon folk, '90s indie rock, and country music, Kitt crafts narratives that blend her own experiences with compassionate observations of loved ones. Based on a raw acoustic "three chords and the truth" style of songwriting that ripples throughout, the album expands with full-band arrangements that give a huge range and richness to the sound. Though influenced by American musical traditions, the Essex-native maintains her distinctive voice and authenticity, ensuring the music remains unmistakably her own. Following her 2018 debut Stand By, this new record represents a more mature approach to songwriting, written during her early 30s and completed in the 2021 lockdown -- a storybook of songs capturing that moment in time. Musically, Telling Me showcases Kitt's stripped-down acoustic foundations, while incorporating fuller arrangements that blend her love of Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, with music she loved as a teenager such as The Lemonheads and Veruca Salt. The album features collaborations with an impressive roster of musicians, including Jay Starkey on drums, Nashville-based pedal steel virtuoso Spencer Cullum, Treetop Flyer's Sam Beer and longtime collaborator Pat Kenneally on drums and piano. Recorded between 2021-2023 at London's Lightship 95 studio at Trinity Buoy Wharf, the album was co-produced and engineered by Dave Holmes, with some musicians contributing remotely from Nashville and London.

NEAN	Doo Dah Nean	LP	BLACK EDITIONS/LA MUSICA RECORDS	BELA 004-017LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late '90s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and Non on drums. Both Yui and Non were also part of Holy Angels, and Yui played with Ohkami No Jikan and Mauduit Nuit. Vocalist Naoko, in her lone recorded appearance anywhere, elevates the proceedings to peak outsider strangeness. Her ultra-repetitive chants and sighs balance childlike innocence with sinister knowing. Alternately distracted and humming to herself or delivering breathy, near field whispers, the simple juxtaposition of her vocalizations with Non's stumble-drunk drums, and the amorphous blobs and gloops of tone unleashed from Yui's instruments lands like an avant garde, proto-ASMR incantation. A truly confounding release in a La Musica catalogue that's not exactly thin on the ground for such form. Housed in die-cut "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic gold ink and soft touch finishes with printed inner sleeve. Vinyl pressed at RTI. Additional mastering by Timothy Stollenwerk, Stereophonic mastering lacquers by Phillip S. Rodriguez. Elysian masters executive produced by Peter Kolovos.

SABABA 5	CA VA CA VA	LP	BATOV RECORDS	BTR 132LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Sababa 5 return to their roots on Ça Va Ça Va -- a melting pot of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean sounds, layered with psych-soaked guitars, cosmic synths and heavy, driving grooves. A pure dose of party energy and nostalgia from Batov Records' finest. With four albums already behind them, Sababa 5 have earned global support, from Songlines magazine and BBC Radio 6 Music tastemakers including Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, and Iggy Pop to France's FIP Radio and Radio Nova, for their unique blend of traditional Middle Eastern celebration music with psychedelic grooves, funk, jazz, rock, and international vocal collaborations spanning Japan to India. The Paris-based group have taken this sound to stages across Europe, including Reeperbahn Festival and Dresden's Super Fest. Ça Va Ça Va is the band's hafla album -- a return to the wedding and event celebration music that first shaped Sababa 5. Recorded in Paris, it draws directly from the sounds of hafla -- the joyful, communal music heard at Middle Eastern weddings, parties and festive gatherings -- with a sprinkling of influences from the wider Mediterranean. The group utilize their classic combination of electric guitar, bass, drums, organ, and synths to transform these ideas into vibrant melodies, dance-ready rhythms, and a spirit of abundance and togetherness. Opening track "Bienvenue" sets the tone with a mysterious, longing guitar solo before bursting into an irresistible rhythm and jubilant guitar motif. It flows seamlessly into "Allô," straight into wedding-riot territory -- a fast-rising instrumental that showers the dancefloor with energy as it builds around a hypnotic, arpeggio-driven riff. The album is almost entirely original material, with two key exceptions: "Ypárcho" (I Exist), a beautiful instrumental journey inspired by a classic Greek song traditionally performed by Stelios Kazantzidis, and "Asunsan," an instrumental flip of the much-loved Sababa 5 collaboration "Nasnusa" with Yurika Hanashima. Another impressive step in the Sababa 5 story, Ça Va Ça Va captures both joy and longing -- the unmistakable warmth of Eastern Mediterranean celebration and the band's surf-rock edge -- sounding more confident, spirited and deeply rooted than ever.

BARWICK & MARY LATTIMORE, JULIANNA	Tragic Magic	CD	INFINE	IF 1100CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Tragic Magic brings together Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, two of contemporary ambient, experimental and electronic music's most celebrated composers, for a unique collaboration at the Philharmonie de Paris, with extraordinary access to the Musée de la Musique's instrument collection, in partnership with the French label InFiné. The album features seven immersive, evocative compositions guided by the human spirit -- intimate, grounded in friendship, both earthly and cosmic -- and part of a greater continuum, reflecting the solace and transformative power of artistry across generations. Co-produced by Trevor Spencer (Fleet Foxes, Beach House), Tragic Magic was created in just nine days, a testament to the "musical telepathy" that has developed between Barwick and Lattimore over years of touring and friendship. Arriving in Paris from Los Angeles shortly after the 2025 wildfires, their sessions combined improvisation with the emotions and experiences they carried, in a setting both inspiring and deeply supportive. Lattimore selected harps tracing the instrument's evolution from 1728 to 1873, while Barwick chose several iconic analog synthesizers, including the Roland JUPITER and Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5. In freeform dialogue between voice and instrument, they create a meditation on tragedy, wonder, and the restorative power of shared experience. The duo, often joined by Spencer, also explored the city, sharing meals and visiting museums and landmarks, each encounter leaving an impression on their next session. The experience allowed them to work intimately with rare instruments, blending their personal sensibilities with centuries of history, resulting in music that honors the past while remaining a deeply authentic expression of the present. Throughout Tragic Magic, Barwick and Lattimore find something beyond themselves: a sense that while everything may not be okay, beauty persists. Their approach -- transforming life into music, observing, feeling, and creating -- continues a lineage of creative expression and visionary invention, embodied in the very instruments they employed for this project. LP version (IF 1100LP) comes in forest green biovinyl and includes 30x60cm poster, printed inner-sleeves.

FAKE, NATHAN	Evaporator	CD	INFINE	IF 1104CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 As Nathan Fake rises from the nocturnal subterranea and rave catharsis of his previous records, on Evaporator, he resurfaces into the domain of daylight, bringing a tangible sense of air rushing against your face, of big skies, and endless landscapes. The idea of pop accessibility that trickled into 2023's Crystal Vision is refracted here through the prism of sweeping ambient, deep electronica, and trance uplift. Evaporator is Fake's idea of "airy daytime music," with each track a different barometer reading across the album's varying atmospheres, which range from vibrant sunbursts, bracing rainscapes, and fine mists of clement melodics. Border Community alumni Dextro AKA Ewan Mackenzie transmutes his ferocious drumming for Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs into the blurred choral thump of "Baltasound." "Orbiting Meadows," meanwhile, is his second collaboration with Clark, an eerily idyllic duet where microtonal 18EDO piano clangs slowly twirl around wailing pads. Evaporator marks the junction point of old technology and ever fresh creativity for Nathan. Evaporator continues to prove his necessary presence, with some of his most engaging, varied, and magical music yet. Also available on clear bio-vinyl (IF 1104LP).

ENJI	Sonor (Transparent Vinyl)	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 033C-LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Transparent vinyl version. For a few fleeting moments during a sunset, the sky is cast a vivid shade of amber. A dramatic flare of color, a moment belonging to both the day and the night. It is within this vibrant, ephemeral world, that Mongolian-born, Munich-based Enji has written her album Sonor. Sonor is a reflection of Enji's personal evolution and the complex emotions that accompany living between two worlds. The album's themes revolve around the unplaceable feeling of being between cultures, not as a source of conflict, but as a space for growth and self-discovery. Enji explores how distance from her traditional Mongolian roots has shaped her identity, and how returning home brings a heightened awareness of these changes. Backed by a band of renowned jazz musicians (Elias Stemeseder on piano, Robert Landfermann on bass, Julian Sartorius on drums and co-composer Paul Brändle on guitar), Enji isn't just revisiting tradition, she's distilling the feeling of home, of small joys that reveal their significance only when viewed from afar. Like a familiar song hummed by a parent, her music captures the essence of belonging, not tied to a single place, but to the emotions and memories that shape humanity.

HIRANO, MIDORI	OTONOMA	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 643CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "The artistry of Midori Hirano lives in the resonance between sonic and visual worlds. Over her distinguished career the Berlin-based, Kyoto born composer, pianist, and synthesist has crafted a distinctive voice straddling the spheres of classical music and harmonies with abstraction and invention. In addition to works under her own name, Hirano has released dynamic experiments under her MimiCof moniker as well as composed for film, television, art exhibitions and architectural expos. Hirano has also been a prolific collaborator, working with CoH, Brueder Selke, Nils Mosh, Teodor Wolgers, Ben Lukas Boysen and Paul Emmerich, SPECIMENS, Mami Sakurai, Atsuko Hatano, and more, contributing to dozens of releases. Hirano is acclaimed for crafting emotive works that stimulate all the senses with impressionism, or painting with sound. OTONOMA is the culmination of her work synthesizing these elements and highlights her acumen as a practiced and intuitive artist. The album infuses Hirano's more classical sense of harmony on the piano with the endless textural possibilities of synthesizers. Like nebulas coalescing into galaxies, the pieces of OTONOMA emanate hues dense with subtle layers of color folded into gradients, arresting and radiant. In Japanese the word 'Oto' means 'sound' and 'Ma' refers to the 'space' or 'interval' between things. So, 'Otonoma' literally means 'the space between sounds.' In classical usage, 'Ma' can also mean 'room' which allows a different reading, 'a room of sounds.' 'Illuminance,' a foundational track on the album, has rich textures and a searching modular synth. 'Ame, Hikari' was initially composed for a photo exhibition of Japanese artist Rinko Kawauchi's work at Fotografiska Berlin and captures the rain (ame) and light (hikari) of Kawauchi's photos. The stately lone piano of 'Rainwalk' offers a minimalist, affecting snapshot of a moment in time while pieces like 'Aurora' take a more wide-eyed, macrocosmic view with fluttering electronics and a surging drone. Throughout OTONOMA, Hirano's compositions seep over their sonic borders and through the complex intersection of rhythm and tone are an affecting listen. The intersection between sound and space embodies the architecture of this beautiful impressionistic album. In the deft hands of its architect, Midori Hirano, the music is remarkable for its reflective and connective beauty, a sensational sensorial experience."

JAKOBSONS, MARIELLE V	The Patterns Lost to Air	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 646CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "Marielle V Jakobsons has cultivated a signature voice molded by minimalist, ambient and spiritual traditions. Her recordings, from her early work with Date Palms, to the ongoing work with Chuck Johnson in Saariselka, and most definitively with The Patterns Lost to Air, show Jakobsons to be an exceptionally skillful sound sculptor, a musician who knows the value of patience and control. An artist able to derive maximum impact from her chosen sound elements, the album's layout is shaped by three primary voices of violin, Fender Rhodes, and Moog Matriarch and was recorded in 2024 in the studio Jakobsons built in Oakland, California, its huge windows overlooking a backyard with olive and palm trees, nesting towhees and hummingbirds. The Patterns lost to Air was also born of personal change for Jakobsons brought on by the health effects of long COVID, as well as an intentional musical shift from drones to working with scores and written music as she leaned in on her classical training, and harmonic writing. It was more than an evolution, it was a need to redefine who and what she was, down to the molecular level, because she could no longer create music in the same way, which became a galvanizing motif for The Patterns Lost to Air. On The Patterns Lost to Air, each piece emerges from a place of necessary restriction, discovering how limitation itself can become a portal to new territories of sound and meaning. The pieces make use of loops and slowly shifting patterns that gracefully decay with time. Through sonic landscapes of Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizers, and strings, the album investigates the space between those patterns like threads of memory, each tone transfiguring and dissolving together. Imagining the forms and shapes that sound takes as its projected into a listening space, and how they are 'lost to air' as they morph and decay. This physicality of sound is a theme in her work in general, and this album is directly a conversation on that aspect."

MOORE, BARBARA	Bright And Shining	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 182LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 After many years of fruitless praying, a true collector grail can finally grace every turntable the world over. Bright And Shining is a miraculous leftfield library classic from the genius mind of Barbara Moore. With originals almost impossible to find, you already know how crucial this beautiful reissue is. Recorded in 1981 for Sylvester Music Company, Bright And Shining is breezy, dreamy and funky in a perfectly smooth jazzy-soul-groove fashion, with Moore's patented celestial male-female vocal harmonies this time benefitting from the addition of Fender Rhodes and pumping bass lines. As one particularly enthusiastic Discogs user put it: "If Eno is responsible for Music for Airports, Moore is responsible for Music for Holidays." Indeed, this is brilliantly unique, "maximum happiness music." If you miss the sun-dappled soft-psych soul of Koushik, the heavenly vocal arrangements of the great Library Music doyenne Barbara Moore will see you just right. The gigantic title track, "Bright And Shining," gallops out the gate, all sophisticated, jazzy leisure-soul with sax and guitars backing Moore's effortless vocal swag in this relaxed, mid-tempo head-nod strut. Up next, the sunny, vibey "Fly Me High" features strolling, "unworded" vocals alongside breezy alto sax and electric guitar. The jazzy "Real Thing" is another exercise in strolling sophistication, complete with wordless vocal harmonies. The fairly self-explanatory "Voice Over Sax" sounds precisely how you would expect; a relaxed sax number with heavenly vocal support. The audio for Bright And Shining has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.

HASELEY/PETER RENO, SIMON	Great Day	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 183LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Great Day is one of the very best albums on the Music De Wolfe label and certainly one of the most sought-after library records, full stop. It's been sampled by such heavyweights as Madlib, LTJ Bukem, El-P and The Alchemist (among many others). Originally released in 1972, it's credited to Music De Wolfe legends Simon Haseley (real name Simon Park) and "Peter Reno" (a collaborative alias used by composers Clifford "Cliff" Twemlow and Peter Taylor). It's one of the most consistent libraries you'll ever hear, packed with heavy blaxploitation-esque drama-funk break themes. It opens with the feel-good, breezy piano beat number "Little Big John" before switching up to modern sweeping orchestral with heavy drums on the warm, deeply emotive "Summer Friend." Total highlight "Hammerhead" is as heavy as you'd want, from a track so-titled. It's a driving, imposing, orchestral funk-rock monster, famously used by The High & Mighty for their classic "Dirty Decibels" and as the backing for Beyonce's ace "Woman Like Me". Up next, "Crimson" is melodic, plaintive and moodily introspective; a soft, oboe-enhanced instrumental of delicate beauty. The expansive title track, "Great Day" is melodic and bold; a horn-fueled, mid-tempo rhythmic workout which builds to rather big end. Rounding out this first side, "Hard Crust" ups the ante with thrilling wah-wah funk-rock, a dramatic, pounding and aggressive thriller. Side B opens with the steady, stealthy crime-funk of "Highball" before segueing brilliantly into the Hammond-laced relentless flute-funk of the driving "Bora." The powerful wah-wah wonderful "Hold Back" is haunting orchestral funk-rock, sampled by Madlib, El-P, Rakim, Sean Price and The Alchemist. The cop show funk of "Silver Thrust" is fast, purposeful and persistent. The dynamic "Convoy" is a brassy, organ-fueled sports-soundtrack b-boy breaks monster. To close out this extraordinary set, the insistent "Barracuda" presents dramatic rock feels over a persistent funky flute beat. The audio for Great Day has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland.

This beautifully presented reissue, part of Be With's fresh campaign with the legendary library label Music De Wolfe, is well overdue. Recorded for De Wolfe in 1972, Hogan, The Hawk, Dirty John Crown is a fantastic start-to-finish listen. The flute-funk of Hawkshaw and Parker's opener "The Hawk" comprises driving, fuzzy, wah-wah-drizzled bell-laced breaks with synths and basslines to murder for. Up next, Haseley's "The Happening" is a carefree, rhythmic builder with strings and horns. Hawkshaw and Parker's amazing "Main Chance" is likely the reason you're here; it's a moody, beaty proto-hip-hop banger; all rolling drums and flute-laced, organ-drenched, synth-funk breaks. The cool AF "Hogan Baby" has a soft, rounded, bluesy feel. Grant's pounding "Dirty John Crown" brilliantly conjures swirling string-swept serenity atop driving, incisive drama-funk breaks. Hawkshaw and Parker come roaring back with the murky, creeping crime-funk of "Swarf" with killer basslines underpinning slow-mo high-class flute-funk. Reg Tilsley enters the fray with the bright, snappy, carefree "Turnover." The brief "Tarantula" gets listeners back on track with the driving crime funk breaks, super clean yet brooding. Side 2 opens with the car chase swag of Haseley's dramatic, driving "Precinct". Haseley's rolling "Sidewinder Version 1" is robust and exuberant with bouncy horns before a cracking Parker-Hawkshaw one-two featuring the tense "Pressure" and the deeply soulful "Call Me", a relaxed, medium-tempo organ feature. With building piano and strings Gordon Grant's excellently titled "Scorch" is as aggressive and dramatic as you'd hope. Hawkshaw and Parker's furtive flute-funk of "Digger" precede the light, melodic and romantic themes of Tilsley's "Marianne" whilst "Sidewinder Version 2", a faster iteration of Track B2 sees Haseley close out this remarkable set in bouncy, bright fashion. The audio for Hogan, The Hawk, Dirty John Crown has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.

SOUL CITY ORCHESTRA	Meal Ticket	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 185LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 A great name. A great cover. And, of course, outstanding library music. Soul City Orchestra's Meal Ticket houses titanic funk, mellow groove and symphonic disco-soul. Released in 1977 on Rouge, a subsidiary of the prestigious and long-established British library label Music De Wolfe, Meal Ticket was crafted by the studio band Soul City Orchestra (a pseudonym for the De Wolfe in-house composers Chris Rae and Franck McDonald). The driving instrumental funk-rock of the A Side is enhanced with strings and no little drama. However, it's undoubtedly the peerless flipside that makes this record an essential part of any collection. Head straight to highlight "Chamber Maid"; insistent, conga-driven funky rock with lashings of string-heightened drama. It's sophisticated, classical and deeply classy. The majestic, powerfully emotive "Sore Head" contains an excellent intro drum break and sultry slo-mo disco breaks throughout. It's low-key stunning. With a few melodic switch-ups, it's symphonic soul heaven and is comfortably the best and most beautifully crucial track on Side A. The breezy, Philly soul-tinged "Short Change," its intense strings reminiscent of the Salsoul Orchestra and TSOP, presents an easy-glide funk that's just irresistible. The funky, cool and slick AF "Wheeling And Dealing" is laconic flute and string-propelled sophisticated mid-tempo disco soul. It's worth the price of admission alone. The breezy, mellowed out disco-funk workout "The Jam" is a deliciously slinky and sophisticated soul strut. The crowning glory is the sweeping, sublime symphonic disco breaks of horn-infused "Soul City Drive," an absolute monster of radiant heavy soul-funk à la Barry White with great string and brass arrangement. Basically, this is essential for all groove-aficionados. The audio for Meal Ticket has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.

IRISARRI, RAFAEL ANTON	Points of Inaccessibility	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 023LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 A chance meeting in Mexico City set Points of Inaccessibility into motion. When Ibero-American composer Rafael Anton Irisarri crossed paths with Dutch media artist Jaco Schilp at MUTEK in 2024, a conversation about how technology shapes perception revealed an unexpected common ground. Schilp invited Irisarri to a spring 2025 residency at Uncloud, the Utrecht-based collective he co-founded, where Irisarri's sound began to take form amid an environment shaped by Schilp's visual research. The Uncloud studio was located inside the former Pieter Baan Centre, a forensic psychiatric prison where suspects of violent crimes were once confined. Its long history of silence and containment shaped the atmosphere in which the project developed. Within this setting, Irisarri coaxed long bowed-guitar tones through a network of pedals and looping systems. The raw gestures thickened into a vaporous and architectural field of sound. Schilp processed the material through a custom point-cloud software patch that produced images in continuous flux. The visuals flickered, dissolved and reformed like memories that resist coherence, functioning as a digital Rorschach that reflected the observer's own perception. Amid these spectral echoes, the project evolved into an examination of how the past persists within present signals. Irisarri improvised throughout the residency, generating material that allowed the visuals to develop in parallel. Once back in his New York studio, he began shaping the recordings by carving pathways through the improvisations and mapping selected passages into MIDI. This process allowed him to build outward from the bowed-guitar material with minimal overdubs, adding Prophet 5 textures, Moog bass and strings that expanded the harmonic field while keeping the original performances at the center. To refine the structure, Abul Mogard provided editorial input, working with Irisarri's stems to guide transitions and strengthen the overall pacing. What emerges is a work that examines the tension between technological systems and human presence. Points of Inaccessibility asks whether connection is still possible within environments shaped by mediation and delay, or whether we have become isolated points within the very networks that promise proximity. Points of Inaccessibility is presented on BioVinyl. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Artwork by Jaco Schilp. Design and layout by Daniel Castrejón.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2024	LP	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRT 011LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 LP version. Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing two new albums. 2024 was recorded in an old Berlin cinema, the Zentrifuge. In search of "their own rhythmic mantras," as Philipp Gropper explains, strange, multi-layered grooves and unfamiliar sounds. Catapulted into strange worlds by Gropper's compositions, PHILM is concerned with the emotional content of these grooves and navigating them together. This adventurous atmosphere in the room and the interpersonal interplay leave their mark on the sound. Because that's exactly what PHILM is all about: a band that's not about outdoing each other with solos, but about finding a shared musical language, creating together, like an interlocking sound machine.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2025	LP	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRT 012LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 LP version. Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing new music. 2025 was recorded live at the Loft in Cologne in April 2025. The sound here is darker, more emotional. The two pieces "no words" I and II are good examples of this, dealing with the bewilderment and horror in the face of current crises, wars, and the repeatedly destructive role of the global North. Between dissonance and beauty, a wide range of emotions opens up. With 2024 and 2025, PHILM are opening a new chapter for themselves, further honing their long-standing and rightly celebrated consistent understanding of jazz, of storytelling through music, which has had a decisive influence on the European avant-garde.

CALLAHAN, BILL	My Days of 58	CD	DRAG CITY	DC 964CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "My Days of 58 is the eighth Bill Callahan album, his first since 2022. The twelve tunes here open uncanny depths of expression as Bill continues to blaze one of the most original songwriting-and-performance trails out there. With My Days of 58, he applies the living, breathing energies of his live shows to the studio process, sharpening his slice-of-life portraiture to cut deeper than ever before. The core musicians featured on My Days of 58 is the group that toured for 2022's REALITY: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Jim White, whose synergy was evident in 2024's live Resuscitate!. This showed Bill, as he puts it, 'that they could handle anything I threw at them,' adding: 'Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It's all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes -- making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.' With this in mind, Bill prepared the songs with each player separately. Taking a note from songwriter, fan and friend Jerry DeCicca, he recorded the basic tracks for all but one song in a duo with Jim White. Meanwhile, he rehearsed with Matt, guitar to guitar, while asking Dustin to make horn charts for a few songs. Bill: 'I usually just sing a melody to a horn player or let them try a few takes and go from there. This time I thought, why not get some of the record charted out. There's always room for spontaneity on top of that. And we did indeed throw some off the cuff stuff on top of the charted horns in a couple cases where they weren't fully doing what I wanted. With this record I kept thinking of it as a 'living room record.' I'm not talking about fidelity at all here. Living room attitude. Living room vibe. Not too loud, not otherworldly. I asked for the horns to be relaxed like someone on the couch playing, not a blast from heaven or hell.' For more spontaneity and human color, Bill called up several other players: Richard Bowden on fiddle, whom he'd seen playing with Terry Allen and loved; pianist Pat Thrasher; bassist Chris Vreeland; and trombonist Mike St. Clair."

Kieran describes it as a natural continuation of the Le Carousel story: music built on warmth, color, and emotion, but with sharper edges that reflect the urgency of the times. It's both a soundtrack for inner reflection and the unknown. The Humans Will Destroy Us is an album that rewards both deep listening and repeated returns.

COSTA, GAL	Gal Costa (1969)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 344LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Released in 1969, Gal Costa is the album that cemented Gal as one of the boldest voices of Brazil's Tropicalia movement -- and it still sounds thrillingly alive today. Coming right after the genre-shaking Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis, this LP captures a moment when Brazilian music was breaking rules, blending psychedelia, rock, samba, and poetic experimentation into something totally new. Gal's voice is the real star here: warm, fearless, and incredibly expressive. She moves effortlessly from soft, intimate moments to explosive, full-throttle performances, always sounding confident and emotionally present. Backed by adventurous arrangements and songs from key Tropicalia figures like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, the album feels both playful and politically charged, even when it's being subtle. Several tracks stand out as absolute classics. "Baby" is a highlight right away -- cool, tender, and deceptively simple, with Gal delivering Caetano Veloso's lyrics in a way that feels both innocent and quietly radical. On the other end of the spectrum, "Divino, Maravilhoso" is pure intensity: urgent, raw, and electrifying, capturing the restless spirit of the era and showcasing Gal's power at full blast. "Não Identificado" leans into dreamy psychedelia, floating between romance and cosmic imagery, while "Que Pena" shows her knack for turning heartbreak into something irresistibly melodic and catchy. What makes this record special is its balance. It's experimental without being alienating, sophisticated without losing its groove. Tracks flow naturally, pulling you into a colorful, slightly rebellious world that reflects the cultural tension and creativity of late-'60s Brazil. If you're curious about Tropicalia or just want a timeless album driven by pure vocal charisma, Gal Costa (1969) is an essential listen.

STARDRUM, BOOKER	Close-up On The Outside	LP	WE JAZZ	WJLP 080LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Drummer/composer Booker Stardrum delivers a new powerful solo album Close-up On The Outside, his first for We Jazz Records. The new record sees Stardrum (also a member of SML) doubling down on the earthy tactility of human sound and communication while also exploring rich, electroacoustic landscapes. The album involves Stardrum's close collaborators Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu, Chris Williams, Lester St. Louis, Logan Hone and Michael Coleman. The opening title track and the brief "Minturn" place Stardrum's solo music in the stillness of a late summer farm, with field recordings of insects and birds localizing the music; wooden balafon-like strokes are then looped into the foundational structure of the closing "Inside Sounds," hovering at poles that are both plaintive and direct. Dry, homemade mallet instruments and field recordings also nod in the direction of Harry Partch. There's a lot of warmth and sweat in Stardrum's music -- even if it's electroacoustic, one feels that it's made by people, and there is a biologically systemic quality to the way in which digital and analog sounds are interpolated. He creates textures through midi controllers, samples, and loops, wherein acoustic sequences are altered to fit plugged-in concepts or acoustic instrumentalists are brought in to humanize what he's already mapped out electronically. Threading the unique and very present feel of other musicians into his universe with an electronic hand is a fascinating challenge. The people Stardrum chose to work with on Close-up on the Outside are mostly artists he's worked with for years, or been connected to through mutual instigators. Bringing it back to the earthbound carpet that he's striving for, the push-pull between humanism and machinery ties into an ecological concept that Stardrum wants to call attention to. Toggling between composer and organizer, sound designer and instrumentalist, Stardrum offers that this music "represents my pure vision because it's my music, but that vision also involves playing with other people and letting them do what they do and also hoping that they're trusting me to do what I do. But in the end, making a solo record is much more a conversation with myself than setting up an improvised dialogue with various collaborators. Everything has its own special place in my orbit."

This collector's edition presents Tapia de Veer's complete original score for the critically acclaimed feature film PONYBOI -- a bold, genre-defying neo-noir tale directed by Esteban Arango and starring filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, model, and intersex rights activist River Gallo who also wrote the movie. The soundtrack arrives as a deluxe audiophile vinyl LP, housed in a luxurious 350gsm gold cardboard sleeve, cut with utmost precision by Sidney Claire Meyer at the legendary Emil Berliner Studios, home to Deutsche Grammophon's world-renowned legacy. Vivid, seductive, gritty, dreamy, tender, and sometimes heart-pounding in its tension, the PONYBOI soundtrack is a sinuous creature of its own -- an emotional, atmospheric, and deeply textural listening experience. Tapia de Veer fuses shimmering electronics with haunting melodies, raw rhythms, shadowy ambience, and surges of romantic intensity, perfectly embodying the film's world of danger, desire, identity, and survival on a single wild New Jersey night. It's daring, intimate, stylishly noir, and unmistakably Cristo: music that refuses boundaries and speaks directly to the pulse. The LP showcases Cristobal Tapia de Veer's uncanny ability to blend experimental sound design with narrative emotion -- a talent that has earned him global acclaim and numerous awards, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for The White Lotus. This new WRWTFWW edition celebrates his artistry in its purest form: warm, rich, analog, and physically stunning. A must for soundtrack fanatics, ambient and experimental music lovers, and rare memorabilia collectors.

TSUCHITORI/RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, TOSHIYUKI	Disappointment-Hateruma	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 109CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Wewantsounds presents the first vinyl reissue of Disappointment-Hateruma, the 1976 ALM Records release by percussionist Toshi Tsuchitori and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album is notable as Sakamoto's first recording issued under his own name and represents one of the few occasions he explored fully improvised music during the 1970s. It provides a vital document for understanding Sakamoto's early development as a composer and performer, capturing a period when he was experimenting with ambient soundscapes and textured improvisation. This edition features original artwork, audio remastered by Heba Kadry and new liner notes by Andy Beta. Ryuichi Sakamoto is widely recognized as one of the most important artists of his generation. At the time of Disappointment-Hateruma, he was still a student at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and active in Shinjuku's experimental music circles. He was busy contributing to Transonic Magazine, performing with the multimedia group Gakushudan, and working with musicians pushing the boundaries of jazz, free improvisation, and contemporary composition. On his side, revered Japanese percussionist Toshi Tsuchitori, who had recently returned from New York, brought influences from Milford Graves' approach to drumming, including African rhythms, ritualized performance, and a holistic approach that combined music, movement, and philosophy. Sakamoto and Tsuchitori had previously played together in Gakushudan, but neither considered those early encounters definitive. This recording captures one of the rare moments when Sakamoto's exploratory piano work met Tsuchitori's distinct rhythmic language in a studio setting. The album, originally released in 1976 on producer Yukio Kojima's highly influential ALM Records imprint, is structured across four tracks, with the first, "綾 (Aya)," filling the entirety of Side 1 on the LP, while Side 2 contains three shorter pieces, each exploring different combinations of instruments and sound sources. The recordings employ a wide array of textures, from prepared piano, bells, marimba, and gongs to EMS synthesizer and voice. Together, the tracks create hypnotic, ethereal soundscapes and rich sonic textures that highlight the interplay between Sakamoto's experimental piano work and Tsuchitori's percussive expertise. Remastered by renowned sound engineer Heba Kadry, this new edition highlights the detail, range, and clarity of the original album, making the ultra-rare Disappointment-Hateruma available worldwide for the first time. It stands as a key early document of Sakamoto's work and situates the recordings within the broader context of his formative years and Tokyo's mid-1970s cutting-edge music scene.

Together, the tracks create hypnotic, ethereal soundscapes and rich sonic textures that highlight the interplay between Sakamoto's experimental piano work and Tsuchitori's percussive expertise. Remastered by renowned sound engineer Heba Kadry, this new edition highlights the detail, range, and clarity of the original album, making the ultra-rare Disappointment-Hateruma available worldwide for the first time. It stands as a key early document of Sakamoto's work and situates the recordings within the broader context of his formative years and Tokyo's mid-1970s cutting-edge music scene.

DAVE, MURKAGE	Brut Thoughts	LP	MURKAGE DAVE	MDLP 003LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 One of the UK's most singular voices, Murkage Dave has spent the last decade crafting a body of work that refuses to fit neatly into any genre box. His music, loosely pop but informed by indie, outsider art, and an instinct for storytelling, is built on honesty, empathy, and fearless social commentary. Across his career, he has earned a cult following and praise from Pharrell Williams, Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 6 Music, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Clash, Complex, Highsnobiety, and Vogue. With Brut Thoughts, Dave connects the inner turbulence of modern life with the fractured world around him, reflecting on internet culture, overstimulation, immigrant experience, political extremism and the power of community. The album channels present-day anger and disillusionment while refusing to lose sight of hope. A cathartic soundtrack for life in late capitalism, the album draws inspiration from Talking Heads, Sampha, The Smiths, and The Streets. It came together in an unorthodox, nomadic way, across living rooms and borrowed studios in London, Manchester, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and the Danish countryside. The record's collaborative spirit is central to its DNA, featuring contributions from James from Yard Act, Kayus from Young Fathers, Ellery from WU LYF, and Lauren Auder. The title Brut Thoughts draws from Jean Dubuffet's "Art Brut" movement -- an embrace of outsider art and raw, untrained creativity. "Brut" also means both "raw" in French and "unsweetened" in English, reflecting the album's spirit of unfiltered honesty. The title references the classic Brut fragrance too, tied to the working-class masculinity of his grandad's and dad's generation. Made during the period of his father's passing in early 2024, the record holds onto a quiet belief that things can change -- a thread of hope running beneath its heaviness.

JAUMET, ETIENNE	Du cortex a l'iris	LP	VERSATILE RECORDS	VER 049LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 It is in the inspiring calm of his brand-new studio in Bagnolet that Etienne Jaumet found the material for Du cortex à l'iris, his new album recorded for his label Versatile Records. Du cortex à l'iris continues the delicate balance that defines Jaumet's signature: a constant tension between hypnotic abstraction and an almost animal groove. "To reduce the distance between my cortex and my senses, in order to compose mental images with sounds," he says. This intention runs through the entire album: a desire to make people dance, yes, but with echoes of EBM, bursts of cinematic landscapes, and that singular way of slowly inducing trance rather than declaring it. Saxophone, synths, analog drum machines: the arsenal remains familiar, but the approach is even more direct. Playing fast, composing in the moment, letting the hand run before the mind corrects. Capturing something primal, spontaneous, almost raw -- as if the sound were really passing, this time, directly from the cortex to the iris.

ILL CONSIDERED	Live in Jura	2LP	WE RELEASE JAZZ	WRJ 014LTD-LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 We Release Jazz presents this limited vinyl edition of Ill Considered's transcendent live album Live in Jura, an expansive document of the trio's 2023 performance at Spiegelberg Festival -- now available as a double LP with a bonus D-side, housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi and an original artwork by Vincent de Boer. Captured in the heights of Saignelégier, Switzerland, in the middle of a pasture overlooking the Jura mountains, Live in Jura bottles the singular Ill Considered live experience at its most open, responsive, and elemental. From Idris Rahman (sax, flute), Liran Donin (bass), and Emre Ramazanoglu (drums), this is deep free improv built from intuition and heart -- an ever-evolving conversation of groove, texture, and spirit. Whispered motifs bloom into towering climaxes; earthy bass surges meet shimmering cymbal work; woodwind lines move from meditative invocation to ecstatic release. It is music shaped by the audience, the environment, and the moment: alive, unrepeatable, and deeply organic. The bonus D-side extends the album's world with a unique ambient composition made from field-recorded organic sounds of the forest surrounding the concert area. Re-composed into a drifting, luminous piece, it features The Voices of the Alpenglow, blurring the boundary between performance and landscape, human gesture and elemental presence. Ill Considered -- known for forging improvised music around simple themes or spontaneously created structures -- here reach a new level of sensitivity and power.

REJOICER FEAT. SAM WILKES & TAMIR BARZILAY	California Space Craft	LP	CIRCUS COMPANY	CCS 138LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 Yuvi Havkin aka Rejoicer returns with an exceptional collaborative album, California Space Craft. On this aptly titled record, he joins forces with seasoned LA bass polymath Sam Wilkes -- known for his inspired studio work with Sam Gendel and his dynamic live performances alongside Louis Cole and KNOWER -- and drummer Tamir Barzilay, completing the LA-connected trifecta alongside a select handful of key featured guests. The idea for California Space Craft was born out of a series of inspired live sessions in Los Angeles between 2019 and 2022, notably at Listen to Music Outside in the Daylight Under a Tree, where the trio's natural chemistry first began to bloom. The resulting recordings encompass a wide variety of inspired sound stylings, as one would expect from any of these accomplished artists on their own; however, the sum is truly greater than the parts here, with the fluidity of their freeform improvisations over a dedicated three-day recording session feeling remarkably focused as a cohesive whole. Opening track "Traveling Light" sets the LP's tone with equal parts Sly & Robbie-style, space echo -- drenched rhythms and the cozy kosmische, guitar-led feel of early-2000s genre-fluid explorers like Tortoise. The soaring trumpet of Avishai Cohen adorns the Afrobeat-indebted "Lion Water," with Barzilay laying down a proper Allen-esque groove, while "Further (with you)," featuring Nitai Hershkovits on keys, offers a defining look at the titular concept of the album -- with pure Cali feels coalescing effortlessly into sci fi narrative modes and a proper dose of Rejoicer futurism. California Space Craft embodies the power of open, collective intention and musical kinship, offering memorable, uplifting moments and an aural glimpse of hope, warmth, and loving melodious calm in an otherwise quite chaotic time for humanity.

NOTWIST, THE	News from Planet Zombie	CD	MORR MUSIC	MORR 207CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 With News from Planet Zombie, The Notwist return to view after years of exploration and experiment with an album rich in both melancholy and positivity, sketched across a suite of thrilling, fiercely committed pop songs. It's an album reflecting a chaotic world, but responding with warmth and generosity, to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in their home base of Munich, it reconnects with the security of the local to explore the troubles of the global: a guiding impulse writ large across this album's eleven songs. For News from Planet Zombie, the core trio of Markus and Micha Acher and Cico Beck embraced the plural possibilities of writing together, bringing songs to the collective and then arranging, rehearsing and recording that material live, in the studio. The result is an album that's energized, fully in "the now", with spectacular moments where you can hear the magic bubbling up in the dynamic between the Achers, Beck, and fellow members Theresa Loibl, Max Punktezahl, Karl Ivar Refseth, and Andi Haberl. The openness to chance also takes in guest turns from friends both local and international, reflective of a cosmopolitan Munich: Enid Valu joins in on vocals, while Haruka Yoshizawa guests on taishōgoto and harmonium, Tianping Christoph Xiao on clarinet, and Mathias Götz on trombone. The Notwist aren't best known for cover versions, but News from Planet Zombie features two: a gorgeous version of Neil Young's "Red Sun" (from 2000's Silver & Gold), and a take on Athens, Georgia folk-pop gang Lovers' "How the Story Ends." They slot into the album's narrative perfectly, nestling in like old friends, revealing The Notwist as poetic interpreters. Also available on black vinyl (MORR 207LP) and orange color vinyl (MORR 207ORA-LP).

COLLEEN	Libres Antes del Final	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 652CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "The compositions of Colleen, aka multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott, are as richly varied as they are precise. Each of Colleen's albums are shaped by her predetermined distinct instrumentation and parameters, including works composed entirely of music boxes, pocket synthesizers, and antiquated stringed instruments. The connective essence of Schott's music is in her ability to create pieces within this transcendent specificity that are both expansive and imbued with profound emotions. Libres antes del final is an album that reaches for the hope and desire to be truly freed from unnecessary suffering and harmful thoughts before reaching the end of one's life cycle. Schott composed and performed Libres on the Moog Matriarch, centering the record on a pulse-driven, bubbling energy with constant momentum. She then reamped the music in one of her favorite spaces in Barcelona, Casa Montjuic, accentuating the album's sense of movement. The reamping process adds a literal physicality to the album, as carefully chosen and placed microphones (including the famous Neumann KU100 binaural head) capture both the venue's PA sound itself and the venue's acoustics. Colleen's music translates snapshots of Schott's life into singular pieces, often instrumentally transmuting a dense web of sensations into wondrous sonic terrain. Schott's deft manipulation of the Moog Matriarch makes each subtle adjustment feel monumental. The tender 'Mis armas se habían caído al suelo' skitters sonar-like echoes across a warm pool of organ chords before giving in to a gentle wash of oceanic feedback. The bounce of 'Puertas de mi cuerpo' is transformed by every textural shift where the steady arpeggio of 'Antídoto' is broken apart by dizzying shifts in pulse. 'Aguas abiertas' (or, 'Open Waters') stands as the cinematic centerpiece to the album as each movement dives deeper beneath the surface and reflects the magic of discovering microcosms on every level one plunges further down. Title track 'Libres antes del final' harnesses the album's sense of urgency as the intensity swells and undulates into a climactic conclusion unlike any piece Schott has made before."

OBAD	Suspended	LP	WE RELEASE JAZZ	WRJ 017LTD-LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 Limited edition, heavy 350gsm sleeve with obi. We Release Jazz presents the limited vinyl edition of Obad's powerful new album Suspended, a vivid document of the Tehran ensemble's endlessly evolving sonic universe -- now available as a limited LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with an obi strip and featuring original artwork by Iranian painter Sadra Baniasadi. Suspended is a superbly spontaneous, improvisational blend of exploratory jazz fusion, progressive funk-rock, and transcendental groove. Built from lived experience and shaped by Tehran's pulse, Obad's music is kinetic and intuitive -- an ever-morphing dialogue between rhythm and texture, emotion and message. With Farid Farzian Pour on drums, Siavash Karimi on electric guitar, Kiarash Radmehr on bass guitar, and Hamidreza Keshavrpajuh (aka Pajuh) on tenor saxophone, Obad creates a soundworld where hypnotic basslines meet thunderous, free-flowing percussion; where searing guitar motifs coil around saxophone phrases that move from whispered invocation to explosive catharsis. Suspended captures the quartet at full creative stretch: alive, unguarded, and deeply attuned to one another. Sadra Baniasadi's striking cover painting mirrors the album's energy -- bold, dreamlike, charged with movement, and extending Obad's world into the visual realm. Suspended stands as a major statement from one of Iran's most compelling contemporary ensembles, marking Obad's first release on We Release Jazz and continuing the label's commitment to boundary-pushing music born from profound listening, place, and collective intuition.

DI LOMBO, JOSEPH SCHIANO	Le tact (Sound piece for Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson)	LP	CIRCUS COMPANY	CCS 136LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/27/2026 With Le Tact, Joseph Schiano di Lombo delivers a work of rare finesse, conceived as a posthumous conversation with photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Through seven meditative pieces -- whose evocative titles echo the photographer's words when describing the art of creating an image -- this album explores the instinctive and delicate relationship that connects music and photography to everyday lives. Presented for the first time on stage during the 20th anniversary of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, Le Tact draws its inspiration from the photographer's art: a sensitive and respectful approach, capturing the essence of things without altering them. This spirit of discretion and precision is distilled by Joseph into his music, blending composition and improvisation with intuitive elegance. While Joseph composed and performed the piano, organ, synthesizer, clarinet, and guitar himself, he opened his arrangements for the first time to other musicians. Agnes Wasniewska (oboe), Barbara Misiewicz (cello), and Tomasz Baye Zietek (trumpet) bring their sonic textures, enriching this work, which is both intimate and collaborative. The album was recorded between Paris and Sopot (Poland) during a residency organized by the CNM. The album's title perfectly encapsulates its essence: Le Tact. This simple word, evoking both the sense of touch and artistic intuition, reflects the way Joseph composes -- with respect, humility, and attention to detail. Each note seems to float lightly, as if to preserve the serenity of the moment. Le Tact transcends genre boundaries. Between ambient music and contemporary art, this album invites listeners to slow down and truly listen. It is a tribute to the beauty of the world, captured with the subtlety of a photographer and the sensitivity of a musician.

DUCHAMP, MARCEL	Duchamp on Tape: The Janis Family Interviews	Book	MUSEUM OF MODERN ART	9781633451766
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/31/2026 Paperback. 150 pages. "One of the towering figures of 20th-century art holds forth on his controversial life and career in a previously unpublished set of interviews. Over six sessions between September 1951 and November 1952, Marcel Duchamp sat down with collectors and gallerists Harriet and Sidney Janis for a wide-ranging conversation about his inspirations and working processes, and his many opinions on the workings of the modern art world and its histories. The Janises, owners of the influential Sidney Janis Gallery, were ardent supporters of modern art and close friends with Duchamp. Harriet, an accomplished author, led the interviews with an eye toward writing a monograph on Duchamp, though this was never realized. Now, this previously unknown chronicle is available for the first time through the efforts of Carroll Janis, Sidney and Harriet's son. Under Harriet's expert guidance, Duchamp holds forth on his artistic philosophies, his career, his friends, his rivals and his lifelong obsession with chess. He provides an inside look at some of his most famous works, from his controversial 'Readymades' to 'The Large Glass.' Contextualized with illustrations, annotations and an introduction by Carroll Janis, this publication is a rich treasure trove of information on one of the 20th century's most controversial, groundbreaking and larger-than-life artists. Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) dismantled the boundaries of what constitutes a work of art. Although he began his career as a painter, Duchamp was also a curator, conservator, art advisor, professional chess player, writer, inventor and celebrity. Following the completion of his conceptual masterpiece, 'The Large Glass' (1915-23), he abandoned traditional artmaking altogether. Today he is best known for his 'Readymades' -- ordinary objects such as a urinal or bicycle wheel, elevated to works of art -- which challenged traditional aesthetics and redefined authorship."

PERRY, LEE 'SCRATCH'	Black Ark	Book	PATRICK FREY EDITION	9783907236666
$65.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/14/2026 Delayed until 2026... "A massive photographic archive of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's legendary recording studio. A 600-page tribute to one of the most famous locales in music history, Black Ark is a detailed inventory of photographs and writings from the Black Ark Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, where producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry created music from 1973 onward. The eclectic and constantly evolving decoration of the studio provides an enduring visual counterpart to Perry's expansive musical catalog. From mural paintings to shape-shifting assemblages of records, instruments, found objects, posters and newspaper clippings, the artworks layer upon one another as they intertwine with the studio building itself. Perry created his own dense and diverse world in which to work: memorialized in this volume before the Black Ark disappears for good. The photographic documentation of the studio in the spring of 2021 was supplemented by efforts to secure and preserve Perry's works, objects and recordings as part of a joint project with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Black Ark reflects the rhythm and layering effects of collage both in its content and the materials used to craft the book. Perry was involved in the development of this publication until his death in August 2021. The book closes with memorial essays from Ishion Hutchinson, David Katz, Kodwo Eshun, and John Corbett. Lee 'Scratch' Perry (1936-2021) was a musician and producer best known for pioneering the dub genre in the 1970s. He worked with well-known Jamaican artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Heptones, the Congos, and Max Romeo. In 2003 he won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album."
