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.

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.

RELEASE DATE: 12/19/2025
Spot The Difference invites you to explore the Balcony's Paradise project through a new lens of chiaroscuro. 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.

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.

Sexverbot is a punk band from Berlin. Fast guitars, direct lyrics, unmistakable character. Whether it's fever dreams of capitalism ('Ich bin verliebt'), social coldness and concrete bleakness ('Täglich grüßt die Monarchie'), self-destruction as the only way out ('Der Antagonist'), or a middle finger to New Age followers ('Mystic Shit') -- Sexverbot delivers short, punchy, and uncompromising songs. Much like the pioneers of decades past, the album reflects the sense of hopelessness and anger felt by a generation. The self-titled debut was produced by Lorenz Szukal (Die Verlierer).

Bed is a new band founded in Berlin, at its core, a queer musical project with a sound rooted in shoegaze, dream pop and postpunk. Their lyrics are sad and sexual, weaving together threads of both vulnerability and desire, producing a body of work that challenges normative creative expression. This is exemplified in the vocalizations, which are intentionally gender ambiguous, representing a fluid identity throughout the album. There is a coming-of-age quality to Bed's compositions, a sense of reaching a certain age in life, losing a second virginity across their musical practice, the regaining of innocence and the caring of the wounds of adulthood. There are also narrative aspects that catch the listener, interludes that whisper a secret which gives depth to the storyline of the record -- a delicate and yet rough, noisy and still dramatic output that belongs to a sensitive audience, someone looking for deep-felt tunes and autobiographical confessions, paired with post-produced vocals and punchy electronic beats.

Somehow, Beatles seems to have become more a term than a band very early on: a feeling, a color, a time, a phase, a way, signs. That's why the new album by the band Chuckamuck is called Beatles and not "The Beatles" even if the band keeps on appearing over and over. The three Berliners seem to have gotten into their fourth studio album piece by piece, until the title became inevitable. Much rather than indie, postpunk, or garage, listeners hear a poetic country band that plays with the Beatles characters and with other Westerns. Warm sounds and sadly beautiful.

Horny Tears From Hell combines a fusion of sounds from ominous genres that collide together in a dark, hauntingly endearing manner. Hard rock escalating electrocuted riffs slide you back onto your childhood sofa, Guitar-Hero guitar resting on your chest as you hear your pal play "Through The Fire And Flames" on expert difficulty. Doomy metal aesthetics avalanche you into sweaty, hilariously middle-aged death pits at your local black facaded headbanger joint. Setting up camp in O'tool Studio just outside of Berlin, Waxlegs bugged out to create something that seeks musical integrity. Keeping some natural amp hums and hisses whilst adding eerie noises from worlds we don't want to find.

Locust is the new solo album from Jeff Clarke (The Black Lips/Demon's Claws). A stripped-down, melancholic change of pace from the Canadian singer-songwriter. Clarke's sincere, poetic texts are accompanied only by his acoustic guitar. The warm, dreamy, minimalist folk sound is enhanced by the recordings themselves -- all done in a single session, outdoors in a forest north of Berlin.
