Jef Mertens - Orchid Alto ()

LP Edition of 100. Co-Release with Aguirre Release Date – April 25th, 2025 – $25 Belgian musician and filmmaker Jef Mertens has been an active force in the experimental music and film scene for nearly two decades. Known for his documentaries on artists like Sonic Youth and Borbetomagus, as well as his work with the now-defunct Dadaist Tapes label, Mertens continues to push the boundaries of sound exploration. His previous solo works include NO MATHEMATICS, released on KRAAK/Feeding Tube Records. With Orchid Alto, Mertens dedicates himself to the taishogoto, a Japanese stringed instrument that became a new focal point in his sonic explorations. Initially drawn to its unique tonal qualities, he approached the instrument with an open-ended curiosity, using it… Read more »

Liz Durette - Well Up ()

LP edition of 300. Preorder Available – Release Date – May 30th, 2025 – $25 Liz Durette returns with a gorgeous fourth LP (her third for Feeding Tube) and not a moment too soon! With “Well Up”, Liz delivers a bright & sparkling sonic gem to illuminate our days & nights. Liz is an artist, keyboardist, improviser, & deep thinker based in Massachusetts, after many years in Baltimore. She has created an uncanny body of musical work of keyboard improvisations. Her style strikes me as utterly unique, and this latest album offers an entirely new example of her vision. While her earlier records were often shifting, madcap melodic constructions, “Well Up” offers another side, in a rich and distilled scope…. Read more »

Various Artists - The Suzanne Langille Songbook ()

2xCD Co-Release with Family Vineyard $16 Thirty-two artists honor the extraordinary legacy of Suzanne Langille through interpretations of her vast songbook. Langille is best known as an acclaimed avant garde singer-songwriter and collaborator of guitarist Loren Connors. They ventured into electrified blues and abstracted artsongs across more than a dozen albums since the mid-1980s. Langille’s songs, with Connors, solo, or other collaborators, are marked by distinct and captivating depth. Her evocative lyrics, layered with themes of loss, longing, and the natural world, defy conventional boundaries, blending poetry with potent melodies. Her work embraces the uncertainty of life and the delicate spaces between joy and sorrow. Langille’s first published composition — “Grip My Hand” — kicked off Connors’ 1990 album Rooms…. Read more »

Rootless & Starbirthed - ST ()

LP Edition of 300 – $25 CD Edition of 300 – $11 This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupçon of acoustic guitar (often combined with electronics or other things) and Starbirthed was initially canted towards producing music for… Read more »

Dylan Golden Aycock - No New Summers ()

LP Co-Release with Worried Songs $26 Nice to hear the first solo LP in a good while by this most excellent guitarist who also runs the superb Scissor Tail label. Dylan writes, “I made the title track a couple years ago at the beginning of summer. I was thinking about how as you get older you have fewer new experiences. That feeling of excitement for summer fades, after it used to be such a big deal as a kid. Those experiences can only be new and vibrant once. The rest of your life can be spent in nostalgia for them. It’s a sad thought and maybe not true for everyone, but I suspect it is for most. The album is… Read more »

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 »

Jean-Baptiste Favory - i was thinking ()

CD Edition of 300. $14 What a pleasure it is to hear this new album from France’s Jean-Baptiste Favory, long-distance associate of Los Lichis, presenter of France’s longest running avant garde radio show (Epsilonia), and a goddamn great musician. I Was Thinking is the solo third album we’ve done with J-B (preceded by Things Under and Ciels), and we think it’s the most varied and fascinating one yet. Using guitars, keyboards and electronics, Favory explores the edges between avant-rock, experimental composition and free form madness, in all their dark glory. The tracks here rarely follow merely one or another of these threads. They tend to careen wildly through all of them in sequence or even simultaneously. For example, the title… 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 »
