Loren Connors and Suzanne Langille - Crucible ()

LP Co-Release with Carbon Records $20 Continuing much of the instrumental, musically dense partnership of Loren Connors and Suzanne Langille in the 80s and 90s, Crucible stands out as a clear highlight in the pair’s musical partnership, despite the music not featuring the pair performing together. Full of Connor’s beautifully droning walls of sound, and Langille deconstructive approach to Americana melodicism, Crucible is getting a vinyl reissue on Carbon Records & Feeding Tube Records. Loren Connors, with multiple decades worth of projects, needs no introduction. One of the forefathers of American free improvisation, Loren Connors sits on the throne among the ranks of other talented improvisers, such as Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis (whom he has released a tribute album for),… Read more »

Spunflower - S/T ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz (UK) (350gsm gloss laminated outer-sleeve. Heavyweight red and black galaxy effect vinyl) $24 Humboldt County has been known for three things the last few decades: celestial redwoods, the most famous hairy crptid, and potent botanicals. In the early OOs it started to also be known in certain circles for amazing outsider rock and psych jams, when bands such as Starving Weirdos and White manna began pushing and exporting Humboldt’s unique style of free-minded music. From their methods of operation to their fried synaptic frequencies, Spunflower is creating a new sound in Humboldt, but for the world. For this LP, Anthony, Nicholas Talvola and Luke Aronie set up a remote session at The Old Steeple in… Read more »

De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken - Melle​-​Aan​-​Zee ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz (UK) & Swarm In Peace (EU) $24 “Melle-Aan-Zee” is the latest lo-fi recorded collection of improvised pieces by Ghent-based occasional psych folk, kraut infused jam collective De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken, which seems to continue to give birth to compositions that defy convention and exceed expectations. Just as their sporadic meet-ups seemingly cannot be planned, their enigmatic worlds of sound unfold through pure improvisation, sense of experimentation, a confluence of coincidences and reasoned skits. There’s a special kind of magic when things spontaneously align, a magic that can’t be replicated by meticulous thought. The unmistakable sound of KRAAK’s 12-string guitar advocate Venediktos Tempelboom, Ishtembashtockx’s unconventional way of playing anything, Gonzalez’s fuzzy and angular contributions backed… Read more »

BHAJAN BHOY - Bhoy On The Wire ()

LP Co-release with Cardinal Fuzz $24  Ajay Saggar is BHAJAN BHOY. “With BHAJAN BHOY, Saggar synthesizes all of the stylistic approaches he’s explored over the years, swirling them into an intoxicating musical blend, with an earthy spirituality. Even the project’s name reflects the dual aspects of Saggar’s upbringing coming together in harmony. In Hindi, a “bhajan” is a devotional song, sung in the mandir, or temple, while “bhoy” is a Scottish and Irish derivation for a young man. There’s a searching quality to Bhajan Bhoy, as if Saggar is still hunting for transcendence with each track, whether through an expansive drone, an orchestral facility on the piano, or an electronics-augmented raga that threatens to dip into noise” (Erick Bradshaw /… Read more »

Myriam Gendron - Mayday ( / / )

LP Co-Release with Thrill Jockey Black Vinyl – $21 Green Vinyl – OUT OF PRINT CD – OUT OF PRINT CS – $12 Mayday is the third LP by Montreal-based artist, Myriam Gendron. It follows her earlier, critically acclaimed albums, Not So Deep As A Well (2014) and Ma délire – Songs of love, lost & found (2021). Myriam began exploring the complex folk traditions of Quebec (and beyond), with Ma délire, which combines traditional and original songs with arrangements that make space for avant-garde musical interludes by such folks as guitarist Bill Nace (Body/ Head) and renowned jazz percussionist Chris Corsano. Mayday presents an even more syncretic fusion of the elements Myriam uses to create her sound. Most of the… Read more »

Troposphere 7 - To Keyi Toko Zonga ()

LP Edition of 500. Download included. Co-Release with Massachusetts Institute of Contemporary Music $24 MB Jones and Rey Sapienz first encountered one another in 2018. Jones was living in South Korea and visited Kampala, Uganda with his partner. Before their trip he was surprised to find that the Nyege Nyege label knew of him through his ROK SPY record, which had even led certain label associates to wonder if, because of that project’s presentation, he was an actual secret agent. Jones stayed for a few days at Villa Nyege, where label co-founder Arlen Dilsizian introduced him to Rey Sapienz. Prompted by a question Jones had about a man in Uganda building rockets in his backyard, Dilsizian had the notion to… Read more »

Liam Grant - Amoskeag ()

LP Edition of 500. Co-Release with Carbon Records. (hand-printed Riso sleeves and black vinyl). Please note- most of the jackets have small dented corner.) OUT OF PRINT SECONG PRESSING $21  It’s my great pleasure to introduce you to guitarist Liam Grant and his debut album, “Amoskeag.” (Technically not his debut but his first album of all-original tunes.) It’s one of those records that critics, fans and musicians alike will look back at and say, “This is where it all started.” Liam contacted me out of the blue late in June 2021, asking about some Jack Rose recordings I’d worked on that had never been officially released. I was very tempted to ignore him as I’d put that period of my… Read more »

Gary Wilson - You Think You Really Know Me

Gary Wilson - You Think You Really Know Me ()

LP with Digital Download. Gold Foil Cover Edition. OUT OF PRINT  LP with Download. Black and White Cover Edition  $22 Finally a new vinyl issue of Gary Wilson’s monumental 1977 LP, with the original cover art (c/o Owen Mareck’s well-loved copy), a glamorously shiny foil cover, and delicate lay-out work by Scott Allison. All of which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you’ll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk’s 2005 documentary about Gary) was Wilson’s second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision — a syncretic collision of romance, new-wave-cocktail-jazz, heartbreak, disco-porn-soundtrack-music and experimental tape manipulation. Home recorded in Endicott, NY, the album found… Read more »

Plastic Crimewave Syndicate - Tales Of The Golden Skull ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $24  Plastic Crimewave Syndicate returns with one collective foot in overdriven space-biker scuzz rock, but the other bigfoot kicking upward into new galaxies of synth punk, no-prog, and freek funk. Yes, dare we say it, the new PCWS LP, Tales From the Golden Skull, GROOVES–but from the perspective of the Japan n’ Kraut/Eurorock undergrounds, coated in some nasty Windy City grime. Aided by the Chicago Cosmonaut Couriers Crew, ala famed renaissance man Mac Blackout (synths/horns/electronics), Przemyslaw Krys Drazek (trumpet) of longtime zone-jammers Drazek Fuscaldo/Mako Sica, Will MacLean on Moog keytar (!– of local Silver vocoder-ed Apples lovin’ treasures Protovulcan), plus the oldest-school synthlord Bil Vermette, who’s been modulating since the 70s. We’ll call Tales From… Read more »
