Finishing Move

DOOM: The Dark Ages (Original Soundtrack)

    The game’s original score was created by Finishing Move, composers comprised of Brian Trifon, Brian Lee White, Jay Wiltzen, and Alex Klingle, who have delivered a soundtrack worthy of the Slayer’s legend. The music is a sonic reflection of the game’s adrenaline-fuelled action, its unique Medieval setting, and the raw energy of the classic DOOM experience.

    Elements of thrash metal, modern deathcore, early doom metal and Swedish black metal bleed into brutal guitar breakdowns and downtempo grooves, while traditional folk instruments such as the Nordic bass tagelharpa, balalaika and massive animal hide drums are combined with modern synths for a dark and gritty sound that feels raw, primal and unmistakably DOOM.

        The Pets

        El Entierro De Un Hombre - 2025 Reissue

          This is one of the most obscure singles ever released in Venezuela in the 60s. It followed the global triumph of The Beatles that made the wave of beat groups get bigger and bigger and lots of new bands emerged, some of which would last while others would definitively go into oblivion, and a small number of them would leave at least one recording that today is considered a highly valuable collector's item. This is the case of The Pets. Their stunning take on The Doors’ ‘Hello, I Love You’ takes the B side of this mega scarce 45. A garage DJs favorite! First time 45 reissue, audios remastered from the original master tapes.

          Joe Bataan

          Drug Story - 2025 Reissue

            Here it is, for the first time on a 45, ‘Drug Story,’ the lost track by Joe Bataan. Pure Latin soul, recorded at the peak of the artist's career and released 50 years later!

            A must-purchase for those into Latin soul and funk. We thought that the song deserved to be released as a single as well, and that its structure was perfect for each side to have a separate identity. So here it is, for the first time on a 45, ‘Drug Story,’ the lost track by Joe Bataan. Pure Latin soul, recorded at the peak of the artist's career!

            Oscar Agudelo Y El Combo Moderno

            Pa'Mi Muneca - 2025 Reissue

              In 1966, Óscar Agudelo recorded this elusive and lesser-known collector’s gem called “Pa’ mi muñeca” for Discos Fuentes. It is a rarity where the artist took an unexpected musical turn and performed several porros, paseaitos, gaitas, and cumbias, evoking the swaying motion and rolling waves of Colombia’s Caribbean sound. This is an album devoted to recreating the strength of a musical genre that’s been the soundtrack of Colombian life for decades. It’s a record dedicated to capturing good times, filled with simple dreams, steeped in joyful energy, and shining with the uninhibited flair, or better said, the quality of the sixties. This album represents a milestone on the route cumbia had taken, both for Discos Fuentes and maestro Agudelo. First time reissue. Includes liner notes by genre expert Don Alirio.

              Rhythm Machine

              Rhythm Machine - 2025 Reissue

                The Rhythm Macine is now available again to the musical public, legitimately reissued in its original packaging. Offering up brilliant soul, haunting ballads and high-energy mid-70s funk, this tasty medley is served best in its entirety. Their self-titled and only LP, originally released in 1976, is a wild, super-groovy ride with tight band energy and a bunch of unexpected twists that keep things interesting from start to finish. At first, you might catch some Earth, Wind & Fire vibes—deep basslines, funky beats, and killer horn sections—but dig a little deeper and you’ll find something a little looser, a little cooler. Virtually impossible to find in its original edition, they are now reissuing it thanks to a collaboration with Now Again.

                Various Artists

                Picaro Vol 4

                  Seven years have passed since the last “Pícaro”. This Volume 4ª is a triumphant salad, seasoned with the good taste of “El Coloso”. Flamenco songs mixed with various styles that made the youth dance in the second half of the 20th century: Rock, Pop, Cha-cha-cha, Mambo, Swing, Soul, Groove.... A must-have album for your enjoyment (and that of your children and grandchildren).

                  East Of Underground

                  East Of Underground - 2025 Reissue

                    East of Underground was a multi-ethnic seven-piece band formed by American soldiers stationed in Germany in 1971, eager to make music and create a home away from home during their stay in Germany as the war in Vietnam was at its height. That year, the Army staged what they called "The First Annual Original Magnificent Special Forces Entertainment Showband Contest," and East of Underground were one of many groups that entered the competition. Playing a tough, enthusiastic fusion of R&B, funk and pop/rock tunes of the day (including numbers by James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Sly & the Family Stone, and Santana), East of Underground's sound was dominated by the vocal harmonies of Bobby Blackmon, Larry Watson, and Austin Webb, accompanied by tight, concise arrangements laid down by guitarists Lewis Hitt and Gus Marquez, and the rhythm section of bassist Ronald Hall and drummer George Daniels (the latter claimed to have worked with James Brown). East of Underground won second place in the contest; one of the judges was Kurt Loder, who later became a respected rock journalist, and in a review of the show he described them as "a beautiful soul band with three exceptionally good singers." Along with the first, third, and fourth place winners, East of Underground were given studio time in the Armed Forces Radio Network's recording facility in Frankfurt, Germany as one of their prizes, and they cut an album's worth of material. East of Underground's studio session was issued as a promotional album by the Army, but it received scant distribution and quickly fell into obscurity, and after the group's members finished their military commitments, the band broke up. Many years later, the album came o the attention of the crate diggers at the magazine Wax Poetics, and in 2007 the magazine launched their affiliated record label with a reissue of East of Underground's LP. At the time, little was known about the group and its members, and Wax Poetics produced a short film (also called East of Underground) about the album and the efforts to unravel the mystery of the band. So far, guitarist Lewis Hitt is the only member of East of Underground whose whereabouts have been confirmed; he works as an ambulance pilot in Alabama and still plays guitar in his spare time.

                    Vampisoul are pleased to make this wonderful and highly sought-after album available again.

                    The recording perfectly captures the spirit of young America through songs written by Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Funkadelic, and Burt Bacharach (via Isaac Hayes, of course). High-level soul and funk performed by brilliant anonymous musicians. Virtually impossible to find in its original edition, Vampisoul are now reissuing it once again thanks to a collaboration with Now Again. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

                    Often, the most prized records by collectors hold unexpected stories. When they also feature incredibly high musical quality and only a few original copies are available, they become the holy grails of collecting. This is the case with this album.

                    Climax

                    Gusano Mecanico - 2025 Reissue

                      “Gusano mecánico” has become a coveted collector’s item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide. It has been included in 5001 Record Collector Dreams by Hans Pokora, receiving the highest rarity rating and hailed as a musical masterpiece.

                      It was released in 1974 by the legendary Bolivian rock band Climax and was a big leap from their early recordings, where they paid tribute to their musical heroes. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.

                      “Gusano mecánico” explores themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples.

                      On October 7, 1974, the now-historic “Gusano mecánico” was released — the only full-length album by the legendary Bolivian rock band Climax. Founded in 1968 from the remnants of the disbanded Los Black Byrds and the unrealized project The Turtles, Climax was formed by guitarist José “Pepe” Eguino and bassist Javier Saldías, who developed a strong bond with drummer Álvaro Córdova, cemented by their shared passion for rock. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, spending several months in the United States during a crucial period straddling the end of the Summer of Love and the lead-up to Woodstock.

                      This period, perhaps the most significant of the 1960s countercultural movement, saw an explosion of artistic expression driven by dissatisfaction with the society that the youth had inherited from their parents. Within this context, the influence of iconic bands such as The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Blue Cheer, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer played a pivotal role in their decision to return to Bolivia and form the country's first ‘power trio’. Their first EPs paid tribute to their musical heroes.

                      They quite literally brought psychedelic and prog rock to Bolivia by carrying new, experimental vinyl records in their luggage, at a time when rock music (and music in general) had very limited exposure due to the scarcity of media resources. Their musical project reflected their influences and laid down the first traces of what would later be called heavy rock, a genre that never achieved widespread popularity in Bolivia.

                      “Gusano mecánico” was a big leap from their previous recordings. Climax embarked on a prog rock journey, exploring themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples. Their rebellious discourse opposed the mechanization of humankind brought about by past decades of industrial exploitation in which they resist being absorbed by the system. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.

                      Over time, Climax’s music has gained cult status among prog rock fans. Their album became a coveted collector’s item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide. It was even included in 5001 Record Collector Dreams by Hans Pokora, receiving the highest rarity rating and hailed as a musical masterpiece. Only two South American albums received this distinction.

                        'Silence In The Secret Garden' is an intensly personal and spiritual journey into the heart & soul of black music. From the reckless dark minimalism of the title track 'Silence In The Secret Garden' to the irresistible funk of 'Yesterday’s Party Watta Bout It', this classic album has continued to surprise and inspire.

                        Forevernevermore - 2025 Reissue

                          A landmark in Detroit deep house, 'Forevernevermore' is Moodymann’s second full-length album on Peacefrog Records. This 2000 release sees Kenny Dixon Jr. at his most soulful and experimental, blending dusty samples, live instrumentation, and hypnotic grooves into a deeply personal sonic collage. Drawing from his earlier KDJ releases, the album reimagines rare cuts into a cohesive, emotionally rich journey through love, loss, and the spirit of the Motor City. Essential for fans of deep, narrative-driven house music.

                          Monster Florence

                          Petty Cash

                            Monster Florence have always operated on the edge of genre, blending hip-hop, punk, and anything that fits the moment into something uniquely their own. Their last album, 'Master System', earned critical acclaim for its barbed lyricism and dark, cinematic atmosphere, capturing the anxieties of the digital age. Since then, the six-piece from Colchester has taken their explosive live show across two UK tours and their first European tour. Now, with their new EP, 'Petty Cash', they push their sound even further.

                            A currency for the careless, 'Petty Cash' captures the thrill of fleeting pleasures. The EP moves through the highs and lows of excess and aftermath. It’s the sound of nights that blur together, moments that slip through your fingers, and the echoes they leave behind.

                            Prolapse

                            I Wonder When They’re Going To Destroy Your Face

                              Prolapse formed in Leicester in the early 90s and are now spread across the UK and Scandinavia. Still pursuing their own path of repetition and twisted melodies, they merge influences from post punk to krautrock and even folk. Their previous releases have included numerous singles and four albums on various labels, including Cherry Red and Radar. They feature vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, whose intense duelling vocals combine with ferocious triple guitar assault and pummelling rhythms.

                              The fifth Prolapse album “I Wonder When They’re Going to Destroy Your Face?” will be released on Tapete Records and marks the band’s first new recordings since their last album, “Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes”, released 26 years ago, but in some ways it feels like there hasn’t a break at all. From the opening incessant riff of ”The Fall of Cashline”, Prolapse set their stall out, hammering the message that they’re back, over and over (and over and over) again.

                              The album cover is a photo of a broken mirror the band discovered in a skip in South London whilst on tour. If you look closely, you can make out blurred images of the vocalists staring into it.

                              The first new sound to be heard from Prolapse this millennium, the opening beer can of ”On The Quarter Days“, the return single, perhaps gives an insight into the short, sharp, creative sessions that produced this album. Despite the elapsed 10 years of reformation Prolapse, now actually longer than they existed in the 90s, the time together has been all too brief, gigs every couple of years, writing sessions even rarer.

                              The album was mainly written in Leicester and recorded at Foel Studio in Wales. Some songs had been evolving for a few years whilst others (three on the album) were improvised and recorded on the spot, just like they’ve always done. Get ready, turn the microphones on, press record…. and something just happens. Perhaps channeling some of the ghosts that have previously recorded at Foel: Amon Düül II, the Groundhogs, Young Marble Giants, My Bloody Valentine and inevitably The Fall. “Err on the Side of Dead” is one of these songs; it grinds and gnaws away, gradually changing until Linda eventually yells “I hate, I hate, I hate”.

                              The supernatural appears again, with “Ghost in the Chair”, perhaps the album’s stand out track, not exactly like the Prolapse you know, but very much the Prolapse you want to come back to now. It starts off sleepy and eerie, as a kind of displaced therapy session between Mick and Linda, before developing into a wash of noise near the end.

                              The second single ”Cha Cha Cha 2000”, brings Prolapse into a more dare we say ‘jaunty’ sphere, with Mick recounting a dreamlike escapade with Canned Heat, Donovan and Cat Stevens, not regular touchstones in the 90s, but time brings a new perspectives.

                              “Ectoplasm United” is a messy but melodic maelstrom, which has also recently had a Faust remix (this will be available on a separate 7 inch single with the vinyl release of the album on Tapete Records).

                              The last words of the album are said by Linda Steelyard, recounting a tale of arriving at Leicester Forest East Services, and deciding to stay….forever.

                                The legendary Gruff Rhys returns with 'Dim Probs', his ninth solo album, fourth Welsh language long player, and first release through Rock Action Records.

                                Featuring fellow Welsh artists Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline on backing vocals, and produced with Ali Chant (Yard Act/PJ Harvey), 'Dim Probs' echoes the warmth and closeness of Gruff’s career defining first solo album (2005’s 'Yr Atal Genhedlaeth') and the stargazing melancholy of 2021’s 'Seeking New Gods'. Written and performed entirely in Welsh/Cymraeg, 'Dim Probs' places the listener side by side with one of the country’s greatest and most thoughtful songwriters in the corner of a studio as the songs grow around them from just voice and guitar. The result is an intimate and hypnotic record that mixes acoustic folk with whatever scratchy, primitive electronic machines come to hand on each track. One listen? Dim probs indeed!

                                Planting By The Signs

                                  S.G. Goodman returns from the Western Kentucky bottomland with her latest full-length album, Planting by the Signs, available June 20, 2025 on her very own Slough Water Records via Thirty Tigers. Composed of songs inspired by love, loss, reconciliation, and the aforementioned ancient practice - how planting a garden, or weaning a baby, or getting a haircut are best timed in accordance with the cycle of the moon. A concept diametrically opposed to the tech-obsessed, profit margin-driven mania swirling around us. Through exploring themes related to planting by the signs, Goodman hopes to help herself and others reconcile this jarring disconnect, as well to pass along the story of the practice. Eleven tracks highlighted by the critically-acclaimed and award-winning artist’s singular voice and her penchant for juxtaposing vulnerable folk music with punchy rock ‘n roll, replete with chiming guitars, ethereal atmospherics, and her DIY ethos. Goodman provides a timely reminder that the only way forward is together, and that we must always take into account humanity’s dependence on and responsibility to the natural world.

                                      Wide Awake

                                        Anyone familiar with electronic music will know Mechatok, aka Emir Timur Tokdemir. He made his name touring globally and releasing a series of records and collaborations with some of the most forward-thinking artists of the past decade, from Drain Gang (Bladee, Ecco2k, Whitearmor, Thaiboy Digital) to Charli XCX to Lorenzo Senni. Often subtle in delivery, these works circulated widely across underground and adjacent mainstream scenes, subtly shaping the direction of experimental pop and club music.

                                        Tokdemir treats Mechatok as a kind of fictionalization experiment—an avatar that allows him to explore new facets of himself and brings a sense of openness and freedom to the creative process. He cites artists like Daft Punk and Gorillaz as inspirations: timeless figures who turned the concept of the artistic project itself into an artwork.

                                        After years of honing his sound as Mechatok, Tokdemir is stepping up to share 'Wide Awake', his kaleidoscopic debut solo album. The record crystallizes a journey that is entirely his own, establishing Mechatok not just as a standout collaborator, but as an undeniable solo artist fully in command of his vision. Through the Mechatok persona, he accesses forms of expression that feel paradoxically more intimate - and more timeless.

                                        Everything on 'Wide Awake' is tied together by a playful yet deeply intuitive sonic palette and a set of core, haiku-like lyrical themes. The album poses questions about the possibility of authenticity and the status of self-expression in the context of algorithmic flattening. Mechatok declines to propose utopian solutions and chooses instead to live with strange ambiguities, tapping their generative potential.

                                        Featuring Bladee, Ecco2k, Isabella Lovestory, Tohji, and others, 'Wide Awake' spans a wide emotional and stylistic spectrum while remaining filtered through Tokdemir’s precise vision. The result shines as a meticulously crafted electronic pop opus; a collection of addictive, personal mantras, fragments that feel at once fleeting and enduring.

                                          Get Lucky / Spacer : The Unreleased Classic Instrumentals

                                          One very handy 7" single and two monumental disco instrumental edits surely destined to get butts waggling on any given dancefloor. The A-side is swept along by a propulsive funk guitar line, neatly switching from classic 70s lushness to 21st century robotics and vocodered vocals and back again, while the flip goes for a more soul-driven vibe, the tight drums and bass pairing polished off by some delicately applied Rhodes piano, definitely the glitterball cherry on top. DJ weaponry so deadly it should probably be outlawed by some international treaty.

                                          That’s The Price Of Loving Me

                                            'That’s the Price of Loving' Me marks Dean Wareham’s (Galaxie 500, Luna, Dean & Britta, ) evocative return, rekindling his partnership with producer Kramer for the first time since Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music in 1990.

                                            Recorded in six days in Los Angeles, the album is steeped in lush, haunting soundscapes, driven by Wareham's signature reverb-soaked guitars and melancholic, dreamlike vocals. Britta Phillips joins on bass and harmonies, while Gabe Noel’s cello adds depth and tension. “Two takes yield more treasure than twenty,” notes longtime friend Matt Fishbeck, as Kramer's insistence on spontaneity infuses the project with raw immediacy.

                                            Thematically, Wareham delves into the poetry of memory, set against a backdrop of wistful nostalgia and existential reflection. "Songs are in dialogue with other songs" Fishbeck writes. The lead single, 'We’re Not Finished Yet', is a playful, introspective meditation where Wareham drops his own name while relishing the tactile joy of the guitar. 'You Were the Ones I Had to Betray' unfolds like a somber narrative, underpinned by Noel’s cello and crowned with a haunting bass harmonica by Kramer, encapsulating the emotional ambivalence of friendship and loyalty.

                                            'That’s the Price of Loving Me' pulses with conga rhythms and Kramer’s vintage Moog, capturing Wareham’s musings on the life of a performer and the sacrifices it demands. Fishbeck describes 'The Mystery Guest' as "an acrostic poem" and concludes by saying "We're not finished yet." 'Loving Me' also includes two covers, Mayo Thompson's 'Dear Betty Baby' and Nico's 'Reich der Träume.' The latter highlights his love for blending history and homage, sung entirely in German for a chillingly authentic touch.

                                            Electric Element

                                              Unreleased electronic / jazz / madness from two titans of jazz and experimentation: JOHN SURMAN and KARIN KROG.

                                              I could now write a load of blown up puffery about how amazing this is, but everyone does that, and a lot of the time it’s all a load of bollocks. But basically this was sent to me by Karin / John when I asked if they had anything hanging about that had not been released. This came through and blew my tiny mind. Like something from prime Annette Peacock “Pony” period. Here is what John Surman said…

                                              John Surman writes:
                                              Back in 2012/13 there had been some talk about a big futuristic open air urban dance/theatre production for about 80/100 actors/dancers with lasers and all kinds of lighting effects on different stages. I was invited to get involved and, together with Ben and Karin, we eventually decided to get to work on some ideas. I think that the original plan was that in performance there would be a mixture of live music and electronica.

                                              Not altogether surprisingly, bearing in mind the complexity of the project, it never moved forward and developed into anything more than an interesting idea. It was probably over ambitious & I guess the funding never came through.

                                              The only information I that I can find relating to the production refers to two silent movies made in 1927/1928 by the filmmaker Eugene Deslaw, entitled `La Marche Des Machines´ and `Les Nuits Électriques.These were clearly intended to act as inspiration for the project.

                                              After months turned into years it became obvious that the project was going nowhere, and so the recorded music laid around gathering dust until Johnny Trunk asked Karin if she had any interesting music that he might be interested in releasing. One thing led to another and so, finally, Electric Element found a home!

                                              For anyone interested in the equipment used this will have to be an approximation since the memory might be playing tricks. Karin was probably using a Yamaha Rex50 f/x unit, a Roland VT-3 Voice Transformer and an Oberheim Ring Modulator. I was playing Bass Clarinet and Contrabass Clarinet through various f/x units together with a Yamaha WX5 wind synth. All the instruments and voice were also processed through Ben´s equipment. After writing this I asked Ben for his recollections and he came up with the following:

                                              John, Karin and I created this music in 2 or 3 days in the winter of 2013 at their studio in Oslo, Norway. I followed up with another 2 or 3 days of mixing, editing and post-processing . We kept a collaborative, improvisational and free-form approach to the sessions. I grew up immersed in music such as Cloudline Blue, the 1979 duo album of Krog/Surman, and this felt like a similar approach. I have mixed sound for many of their live duo concerts and I would use effects and electronics as an
                                              accompaniment and counterpoint to the performed music. The relation of organic and artificial sound sources in music has always fascinated. In this case, I used some contemporary digital signal processing to introduce my own aesthetic into the conversation, in particular using granular synthesis to recombine small 'clouds' of sound into alternate forms. Some of the software tools I used included Ableton Live, Max/MSP and Reaktor.

                                              Vision Of Love 003

                                              Vision of Love is all about slow motion, soul-drenched grooves and after two solid statements to that effect, now comes a third. This one, curated by Monsieur Van Pratt, is a collection of all-Mexican talent and the man himself also features. He opens up with 'Without U', which is a sensuous deep disco percolator, before Vincent Galgo's '(La Otra) Vida' brings some steamy Latin energy to percussive grooves and Van Pratt then has a second go with 'Dumi' featuring Spanish vocals and colourful horns over a rolling bassline. Ele Cinco's 'Limited Love' is a blissed out and late night charmer, then Cinema Paradisco shuts down with nice squelchy synth bass and undulating drums on 'Track Sin Nombre.'

                                              For Keeps

                                                Nearly three years since their last album Invoke, Oakland dream-pop outfit Night School return with a new mini-album that drops via their longtime label home of Graveface Records. 

                                                The project’s title track is the perfect blend of gossamer shoegaze and Graveface’s signature eerie nocturnal feel, with the lyrics similarly balancing the purity of love against mankind’s darker instincts in the face of romantic obsession.

                                                “‘For Keeps’ is a story written from the perspective of someone who is so desperately in love, they’d do anything to hold onto that love,” the band shares. “[We] just wanted to explore a really dark part of the human psyche.”

                                                To further elucidate on these themes, Night School has shared a music video that pairs performance footage with a narrative of amour fou that gets a little bit too fou—I won’t spoil anything, but there is manslaughter involved.

                                                Max Essa is a firm part of the neo-Balearic mafia and shows off his trademark take on the summer-ready sound with this return to Is It Balearic? 'Camel Night-Rate (Clear To The Ocean)' kicks off with a great blend of chug, dubby low ends and shimmering synth work while 80s chords light it up with good vibes. A Be.Lanuit remix is more serene and stripped back for late night dreaming then 'Love's New Meridian' sinks into a melancholic and downbeat world of sunset charm with wispy pads. The Coyote Mellow remix reworks it as a gently breaking wave on a moon-lit beach. Classy tackle all round.

                                                Don Philippe

                                                Velvet Breaks

                                                  Sonar Kollektiv proudly announces the new album by lo-fi veteran Don Philippe, 'Velvet Breaks'. With its textured production, broken rhythms, and a distinctly analog warmth, Velvet Breaks is a slow-burning, introspective work – a meditation on fragility, erosion, and beauty in decay.

                                                  Don Philippe, real name Philippe A. Kayser, brings decades of musical experience to the project. A professional drummer in the 1980s and later active as a pianist and guitarist, Kayser has worked since the 1990s as a composer and producer from his own studio. He is also a co-founder of the legendary German hip-hop group Freundeskreis, a pioneering act that helped define the sound and culture of German rap.

                                                  Since 2015, Don Philippe has focused on instrumental hip-hop, releasing over ten solo albums across various independent labels and building a global fanbase on streaming platforms. His music bridges the soulful subtleties of jazz with the grit of classic boom- bap, always delivered with a delicate, cinematic touch.

                                                  On Velvet Breaks, that mastery is on full display. From the crackle of dusty drum loops to the hazy elegance of Rhodes melodies and tape-saturated fragments, the album builds a fragile world where silence and space are just as important as sound. The track titles read like a poetic deconstruction — 'Fibers Displaced', 'Torn', 'A Rupture', 'Entanglement' — tracing a conceptual journey from tension to release.

                                                  The album unfolds like a narrative, with each track title suggesting a step in a process of unraveling: 'Fibers Displaced', 'Edges', 'A Rupture', 'Tension', 'Entanglement' – culminating in the title track, 'Velvet Is Broken'.

                                                  There is no need for words here. The beats speak for themselves, telling a story in fragments, textures, and ghostly grooves.

                                                  Sunday Music For An Overpass - 2025 Reissue

                                                    Tough Love brings to vinyl for the first time April Magazine's 'Sunday Music For An Overpass', a nine track collection originally issued on cassette in vanishingly small number by Paisley Shirt in 2021. The kind of mythical recording you might have once needed to know the band to own. Alas, no longer...

                                                    Can the universe have two centres? Because if it's not Gothenburg it's San Francisco... It's impossible for me to think about what's going on in that particular part of the west coast right now without immediately being drawn to April Magazine, a comparatively loosely assembled three (sometimes four) piece centred around artist/musician Peter Hurley, who seem to simultaneously operate at both the heart and the margins of the current Bay Area underground. On the one hand they share members with many other bands, their guitarist/singer runs a gallery that functions as some kind of focal point/social space, and Cindy even have a song named after them. On the other hand, their music is resolutely lo-fi and invariably couched in a mysterious haze, the live footage available online seems to suggest that they sound slightly different each time they play, and there are reports they have dozens of songs (possibly albums?) that have not and may never be released, hidden inside their own private universe. On its initial release, Sunday Music 'For An Overpass' was an early attempt to drag the group a little closer into the light, yet inevitably made them feel as endearingly enigmatic as ever. Typically, this vinyl reissue some four years later only goes part way in clearing that alluring fog.

                                                    April Magazine channel the greats - Spacemen 3, The Pastels, early B&S, Mary Chain, Rainy Day/Opal/Mazzy et al - but submerge their obvious melodic capabilities within seemingly infinite spray can hiss, as if the songs are being pulled backwards through some vortex to the past. Half of these tracks are instrumentals, and it's in those moments that the band are perhaps at their most expressive, suggesting a very inviting melancholy that can't quite be figured out. Though the LP remasters the original recordings and is a little cleaner sounding as a result, no secret is being given away. The appeal is that the more you hear from them, the less you really know, and all the better for it. Maybe, then, it's that April Magazine are here to show there is no centre to the universe, that instead it's always just off to the side...

                                                      Telepathic Fish: A Journey into South London’s Seminal Ambient Party

                                                      A first-of-its-kind, fully illustrated retrospective celebrating Telepathic Fish — the influential early ’90s South London chill-out party that helped shape the ambient underground. Founded by Chantal Passamonte (Mira Calix), DJ Food, and others, this scene-defining crew hosted the likes of Aphex Twin, Global Communication, and Andrea Parker, while collaborating with Megatripolis and The Big Chill.

                                                      This lovingly curated release features:

                                                      Rare and long-lost tracks from Caustic Window (Aphex Twin), Tranquility Bass, Spacetime Continuum, and more

                                                      “In stark contrast to the stress-makingly staccato assault of your average 'ardcore rave, Telepathic Fish was a wombeldelic sound-and-light bath"

                                                      Simon Reynolds (Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music And Dance Culture)

                                                      The first-ever illustrated compendium recounting the seminal underground South London ambient party that surfaced at the axis through which the likes of Ninja Tune, Warp and Rising High flowed. Telepathic Fish shared fertile waters with Megatripolis and The Big Chill, moving the early 90s London back room chill-out space into the kaleidoscopic spotlight.

                                                      Documenting the sights and sounds of South London’s seminal Telepathic Fish ambient parties. Hosted by Chantal Passamonte (aka Mira Calix - RIP), David Vallade, Mario Aguera and Kevin Foakes (aka DJ Food) - collectively named Openmind. With the help of Mixmaster Morris (The Irresistible Force) and Matt Black (Coldcut), they put on some of the earliest chill out events in London.

                                                      Rooted deep in the heart of the electronic underground they started DJing and decorating house parties or squats with mind-blowing installations and wholly idiosyncratic design, hosting the likes of Aphex Twin, Andrea Parker and Tony Morley (The Leaf Label). Within a year they were playing VIP after shows for the likes of Orbital and illegal New Year’s gatherings at the disused Roundhouse whilst guesting on Coldcut’s Solid Steel radio show on London’s KISS FM.

                                                      Whilst collaborations with legendary club nights such as Megatripolis saw them share bills with Autechre, Higher Intelligence Agency, Scanner and Global Communication, they also created their own ambient fanzine - Mindfood – to document the scene evolving around them. A 20-page history of their parties is included in the release, richly illustrated with personal photos, artwork and memorabilia from their adventures between 1992-95. The gatefold sleeve also features their Telepathic Fish logo, mirroring an original T-shirt design they sold in Ambient Soho, a record shop three of the four worked in at different times.

                                                      The selections featured here are all personal favourites that were played at the Telepathic Fish parties during the 90s. Picked and arranged by Mario, David and Kevin who combed their collections for key pieces they associate with the time and Chantal’s music tastes. Over a hundred tracks were selected, totalling nearly 11 hours of playing time, before being whittled down to the essentials by the trio, forming a snapshot of their world back in the day.

                                                      * Features long deleted and hard to find tracks by Caustic Window (Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin), Tranquility Bass, Spacetime Continuum and Global Communication (Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton).

                                                        In the shadow of the nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011, Japanese musician Phew, artist Erika Kobayashi, and German electronic music pioneer Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia) came together for an extraordinary project. Together, they developed the concept album 'Radium Girls' 2011, which they released in 2012 under the project name Project UNDARK - 114 years after the discovery of radium by Marie and Pierre Curie. The album is dedicated to the so-called Radium Girls, female factory workers in the United States during the 1920s who painted watch dials with radioactive luminous paint and suffered severe health consequences from radium poisoning. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the label Bureau B is reissuing 'Radium Girls' — for the first time also on vinyl.

                                                        The Manticore Tapes

                                                          In 1976 the seminal line-up of Motorhead was solidified a year after the band’s initial inception. The ‘three amigos’ era of Motorhead; Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor joined forces and began their extraordinary journey to the top of the hard rock elite.

                                                          In August 1976 the band set up at Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and showcase the new lineup. While they were there they recorded together for the very first time and now 49 years later, the long lost tape has been discovered, dusted off and restored in all it’s raw glory, to celebrate the bands 50th anniversary.

                                                          Available on a classic black 1LP, CD and as a deluxe expanded 2LP bookpack, all formats include additional alternate takes and instrumentals for a unique insight into the birth of this legendary band.

                                                          Additionally the deluxe bookpack comes with an extra bonus LP - the classic bonus Live: Blitzkrieg on Birmingham ‘77 as well as a bonus 7” featuring two previously unreleased tracks live at Barbarellas Birmingham in 1977. There’s also a 24 page booklet with liner notes from long-time collaborator Kris Needs. "

                                                          Cluster II - 50th Anniversary Edition

                                                            Cluster can be counted among the most important international protagonists of the electronic avant-garde. Some credit them with having invented ambient music, others as pioneers of synthesizer pop, whilst to some they are firmly embedded in the krautrock universe. There is some truth in all of these notions. Cluster (or Kluster as they were in the beginning) were founded in 1970 in Berlin by Conrad Schnitzler, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. A change in direction and musical differences moved Moebius and Roedelius to split from Schnitzler after which the duo recorded 10 regular studio albums between 1971 and 2009. Their debut album ("Cluster 71") was in Wire Magazine's "One Hundred Records That Set The World On Fire" list. Follow up, Cluster II, has now reached it's 50th anniversary and to celebrate bureau b are releasing a limited anniversary edition, vinyl only, gatefold sleeve limited to a 1000 copies.

                                                            Just a year after the last compilation stood out as one of the best of 2024, Pete Herbert is back with a another brilliant collection of poolside sounds that again explore leftfield Balearica. These are delightfully horizontal grooves that transport you to sunny climes and starry skies in an instant. His own reworks feature, including a version of Sidirum's blissful and astral trip 'Ex Plane', a more tropical and propulsive dub of Lulla's 'Love Comes Quickly' and a quietly epic ambient daydream rework of Bill Mango's 'Inflight Sample.' These are grown-up sounds for cathartic moments lost in your own thoughts.

Next up is a Spirit Catcher classic from 2007 that has been long out of print. The Belgian pair of Jean Vanesse and Thomas Sohet really hit on a fresh sound with their blend of electro-deco and deep house and this double pack still sounds hot all these years on. From the mid-tempo and seductive boogie of 'Motown Spring' to the cosmic tech of 'Search Is Over' via the dazzling disco radiance and sleek Metro Area style vibes of 'Rollercoaster', these are sophisticated sounds that marry dancefloor clout with great sound design. Check 'Voodoo Knight' for a playful and well-worked party starter, by the way.

Known for their dynamic, hybrid sets combining experimental DJing with live electronics, Paranoid London are a firm favourite of heads in the know thanks to their impeccable, eclectic taste that honours house’s underground roots. The duo are sonically at home on Nu Groove, originally created in 1988 as an outlet for The Burrell Brothers’ avant-garde house sound. Title track ‘Talk Dirty’ demonstrates the unique power that Paranoid London cultivate on the dancefloor, inspired by the original sound of Chicago house; featured on the record is their frequent collaborator Josh Caffe, a prolific house and techno vocalist who has also worked with icon of the scene Honey Dijon. What follows is ‘Revolution’, an essential DJ tool for the more underground dancefloors that shows off the group’s raw, acidic sound, before instrumental and accapella versions of ‘Talk Dirty’ complete the four-track vinyl.

                                                                    ‘Bubble’ is a 13-part cerebral mystery that unravels on songs that bring to mind the gruff sentimentality of the late Kris Kristoferson, Lennon’s ‘Jealous Guy’, Eels at their most troubled and the American Gothic sketches of David Ackles; the perfect soundtrack for a Raymond Carver book club.

A 39-minute drift into the void, drenched in Cold War-era reverb and then submerged in four track hiss for good measure. Duster constructed a Brutalist masterpiece on the outskirts of a suburban mall, as if to say, “We were here.” This numbered 25th anniversary edition is pressed on 180G vinyl and comes with a lyric sheet and poster.

                                                                                Joviale

                                                                                Mount Crystal

                                                                                  Joviale makes music that feels like a show; drama lies in the tension between pop impulse and something more cerebral and sensorial. A multidisciplinary artist from North London, they came up as a theater kid and now harness their prismatic creative expression across mediums, fusing components of visual art, performance, and recording into a singular world.

                                                                                  In 2021, following their 'Hurricane Belle' EP, which caught the attention of Pitchfork and Crack Magazine, they quietly receded from view in an effort to learn and evolve. In 2025, out from behind the curtains comes 'Mount Crystal', their full-length debut on Ghostly International, an ascendent conceptual album that reintroduces Joviale’s point of view. Songs are electric and soulful, dashed with jazzy experimentation, rhythmic rock, and vibrant sound design, all realized alongside co-producers John Carroll Kirby and Jkarri and a cast of collaborators, including Sam Wilkes, Carter Lang, and Will Miller, among others.

                                                                                  Initially imagined as a play, 'Mount Crystal' brims and bursts with life — peril, humor, and the buzz of the human spirit — conjuring a metaphysical climb that transcends the audio format. With plans to further manifest the vision as a live set and more, Joviale sets the course: “'Mount Crystal's lore is driven by the embodiment of desire, danger, and desperation. A mirrored dimension in a distant reality where nothing is left unsaid. These chapters crave to tear apart the illusion of pleasure by alchemising the unrelenting pain I’ve experienced in my efforts to love, deny, and embrace the sweetest melodies with the sweetest friends.”

                                                                                  Let It Hiss

                                                                                    It’s been eight years since Montreal’s The Barr Brothers released a full-length album. In that time, life pulled them in new directions - personally and professionally - altering the way they make music together. Their fourth studio album, 'Let it Hiss', isn’t just a new collection of songs. It’s a document of transformation. The making of this record marked a pivotal shift: a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between the two brothers who’ve spent over three decades making music side by side. “In 2022, we found ourselves at a breaking point,” says Brad Barr, the band’s guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter. “It was clear something had to change. The real story of this record is the story of that change and everything that came after.”

                                                                                    “'Let it Hiss' is what happened when we stopped pretending everything was fine and finally listened to what was actually going on”, says Andrew.
                                                                                    The album opens in miniature: a tiny Mexican guitar, the soft pulse of piano, a bare rhythm, and a voice that offers both surrender and strength. "Take it from me,” Brad sings - not as command, but confession. From this first moment, the album invites you into a space where the flaws aren’t edited out - they’re amplified, celebrated. It’s a powerful introduction to a record rooted in honesty, rediscovery, and trust.

                                                                                    For the brothers, recording became a mirror. The process didn’t begin with sound - it began with truth. They confronted not just creative blocks, but personal ones. Old patterns. Unspoken tensions. Grief. Growth. Through it all, they found a rhythm again - not in precision, but in permission.

                                                                                    Brad and Andrew have been playing music together since they were kids, first in the shape-shifting rock outfit The Slip, and then as The Barr Brothers, blending American roots music, and experimental textures into something uniquely their own. Their reputation for intricate musicianship and emotional depth has earned them fans across the world—and praise from musical giants.

                                                                                    The title itself is an ethos. “It just felt right,” Andrew says. “To leave the hiss in. The discomfort, the imperfection, the struggle. We stopped trying to clean it all up. That’s when the music started to breathe again. To be fun”.

                                                                                    Certainly, 'Let it Hiss' foregrounds a sense of joyous abandon that wasn’t as perceptible on previous Barr Brothers records—you can hear it in the open-road anthem 'Run Right Into It' (featuring Land of Talk’s Elizabeth Powell) and the playful garage-band reggae of 'She Doesn’t Sleep With the Covers On'. But 'Let it Hiss' doesn’t completely abandon the intimate storytelling on which the Barrs’ brand was built: 'English Harbour' is a gorgeous folk hymn illuminated by harmonies from former tour mate Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and 'Moonbeam' is a lush, string-swept soul serenade given an extra touch of class by a Francophone guest vocal from Quebecois art-pop shapeshifter Klô Pelgag.

                                                                                    There’s a timeless quality to the songwriting on Let it Hiss - evident on songs like 'Naturally', a quiet nod to the era of classic craftsmen, where melody and message were inseparable. It’s music that trusts the listener, unfolding gradually, with arrangements that balance restraint and ambition in equal measure. Perhaps at the center of it all is 'Owning Up to Everyone', a track that captures the spirit of the album in miniature. “That one cracked something open,” says Andrew. “It felt like a way through.”

                                                                                    But all the freewheeling musical exploration and emotional upheaval that plays out over the course of 'Let it Hiss' still won’t prepare for the album’s closer 'Upsetter', a blast of sweat-soaked, punk-powered rock ‘n ’soul capped by an absolutely lobotomizing guitar solo. Quite simply, it’s the most berserker track the Barrs have ever committed to tape, pushing the 'Let it Hiss' philosophy so far into the red, it practically breaks the VU meter. “This was one where I thought, ‘well, there's no way this is going to make the record, ’because maybe it feels out of the blue for a lot of our listeners,” Brad reveals. “But I think our listeners will appreciate us just being who we are - and who we are includes stuff like this.”

                                                                                    Brad and Andrew produced 'Let it Hiss' themselves, working primarily as a duo out of their Montreal studio. To bring the album’s rawness and intricacy into focus, the band turned to mix engineer Jon Low (The National, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver). They called on trusted friends from their wider musical community to lend voices, instruments, and textures when the songs called for it—collaborations that felt less like features and more like natural extensions of the music. Many of these relationships were built over years of shared stages, late-night sessions, and a mutual commitment to the craft. In this way, Let it Hiss stands as both their most personal and most collaborative record to date.

                                                                                    'Let it Hiss' doesn’t resolve so much as reveal. It invites listeners to lean in - to the hiss, the weight, the wonder. As the Barr Brothers move forward, one thing is clear: they’ve found each other again and in doing so they found their way back to the music.

                                                                                    And the rest is hisstory.

                                                                                    Fevereaten

                                                                                      Since forming in 2017, Witch Fever – Amy Walpole (vocals/lyrics), Alex Thompson (bass), Alisha Yarwood (guitar), and Annabelle Joyce (drums) – have leaped to the forefront of a flourishing UK alternative scene without really fitting into any of its pockets. Fusing punk ferocity with gothic unease, doom-laden atmospherics, and raw vulnerability, the band’s 2022 debut 'Congregation' drew critical acclaim for its cathartic power and blistering intensity. Now, with 'Fevereaten', they push their sound further into uncharted territory.

                                                                                      Produced by Chris W. Ryan (NewDad, Just Mustard, Enola Gay), 'Fevereaten' is the result of a deliberate and expansive creative process. Heavier, darker, and stranger than its predecessor, the record draws from metal, ambient, hardcore, and slowcore, layering cello, noise textures, and haunting melodies atop their ever-pummelling foundation. “We wanted to sound bigger,” says Thompson. “To push our sound in ways we couldn’t in a room together.”

                                                                                      Lyrically, 'Fevereaten' continues to draw from Walpole’s past in the Charismatic Church, but now from a perspective of clarity and reclamation. The album’s title speaks to the gothic intensity and emotional extremes at its core – the feeling of being consumed by trauma, history, or identity. “It’s about being on the edge but never quite falling off,” says Walpole, who was diagnosed with autism during the writing process – a moment that reframed much of her life and creative output.

                                                                                      Volume V

                                                                                        'Volume V' follows on five years after their fourth album 'For Your Love', a record lovingly nurtured but then swallowed up by the Covid pandemic.

                                                                                        The title signifies the latest chapter in the ongoing story of Other Lives, their fifth record of magnificent musical and emotional depth. From the first notes of the opening track and lead single ‘Mystic’, it’s clear that the cinematic breadth of their arrangements and melodies had risen several dynamic notches, with a fuller orchestrated reach and more towering drama across the album’s eight songs and two instrumentals - evidence of the band’s hunger to keep progressing while retaining the essence of what makes Other Lives so unique and irresistible. 

                                                                                        The majority of 'Volume V' was recorded in The Sheerar, a former church that is now the Stillwater History Museum. The Sheerar’s acoustics partly accounts for the album’s more cathedral-esque take on Other Lives’ signature sound, which has the roots in a form of Americana but expanded via classical and post-classical forms, and the influence of iconic composers such as Ennio Morricone and Henry Mancini.  

                                                                                        Given the five-year gaps between the last three Other Lives albums, the band plan to follow up 'Volume V' more swiftly with a sixth and seventh chapter; a promise of more magic and magnificence to come. “I see 'Volume V' as the beginning of Other Lives’ second act,” Jesse concludes. “We’re all getting older, and we have some regrets about not putting out more music – so this might be our Neil Young phase! Releasing more music over a shorter space of time.”

                                                                                          The frontman of The Slow Show steps into the spotlight alone, crafting intimate tales of love, loss, and quiet bravery. Born in the stillness of his German home and shaped in the creative hum of Neukölln, Berlin, Goodwin’s music is a tender exploration of vulnerability and connection.

                                                                                          In late 2023 during a respite in touring with his band, GOODWIN started to work on something for himself. A collection of intimate recordings, stories more suited to a quieter, rawer space.

                                                                                          Inspired by the moody atmospheres of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, these deeply personal songs have vulnerability at their core. Romantic, dreamlike stories for people to curl up and escape in.

                                                                                          ‘These songs are fragments of myself, born in quiet moments at home and shaped in Berlin, with Lambert, a friend and collaborator whose curiosity pushed me to explore new depths. It’s some of my most personal work and sharing it feels exhilarating and terrifying as vulnerability often does’ - GOODWIN

The unusual bill which also included Sonic Youth, B.A.L.L. and Unsane was a benefit show for the zine shop See Hear.

                                                                                            Captured here in a raw but inspired board mix by Kramer and restored and mastered from the analog source by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, CBGB 12.13.88 is a live snapshot of a Galaxie fully formed, punctuating the end of their first chapter while poised to step into their next with On Fire the following year.

DRAIN isn't just a good time as Sammy presides over the chaos of stage diving bodies and mic-grabbing frontline; it's a party--and everyone is invited. (Dolphin shorts and boogie boards are optional but encouraged.) "The vibe of it is, enthusiastic, hectic," says the vocalist. "Five people deep singing and stagediving, then kids going berserk behind that. It's a great vibe and I think people pick up on that."

                                                                                              That, in a nutshell is DRAIN. The trio inject a serious dose of relatability-- not to mention catchiness--into hardcore's penchant for toughness and brutality on their new Epitaph album, '...IS YOUR FRIEND'. Ciaramitaro's desperate, snotty howl rides roughshod over thrash- leaning riffage as rhythms bounce in a big way. If you're picturing the Pacifc Ocean waves that rise and fall along the coastal town, occasionally violently so, you're not far off.

Originally released in 1977, would be a regular spin for one Ron Hardy at the Muzic Box nightclub, and again for Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse.

                                                                                              The original version was criminally short, so Danny Krivit decided to grace it with one of his superior extensions, drawing it out into the lavish glitterball orgy that it was always bound for. A hugely indemand 12", now available once again for a limited time. Get those orders in quick!

Now she’s back with an exquisite, timeless album that reconnects with her roots. At its core 'Hard Headed Woman' is about that furious instinct to never waver—especially when our values and future are so clearly on the line. It's country music as only Price can make it: free of rules, cherishing tradition, hard headed but with a delicate beating heart.

This one's for the heads -- four cuts of signature Overdose heat, ranging from shadowy electro rhythms to an unexpected twist on the B2 with an oriental-tinged vibe that hits different. A must for fans of true underground machine funk.

The La Rat aesthetic weaves wider than a drunken cyclist on a busy gracht, delivering ripostes to the status quo across eight tracks, with nods to psych and blues, jazz and latin. The resulting beat collages then laid the foundations for a flurry of outer-limits raps, beamed in from the mind of a cut ‘n’ paste lyricist. The collaborative duo take inspiration from such varying sources as Georgia O’Keeffe, MC Hellshit and DJ Carhouse, Pauline Oliveros, and Rammellzee, and end up reclaiming a slice of hip-hop’s supercharged universe for themselves.

Fronted by an MC who sounds like the female version of Wiki (Ratking), only even more opiated and scuzzed up. An incredible and singular slice of leftfield hip-hop.

Stripping back the original to spotlight Gaye's sensual vocals and minimal conga-driven rhythm, this near-drumless edit is pure magic. On the flip, Mr K delivers a euphoric edit of Billy Paul's Philly disco gem 'Only The Strong Survive' and stretches its soaring vocals and propulsive groove into an extended, floor-lifting finale. Both sides are essential: one intimate and sultry, the other triumphant and explosive, making this another essential 45 rpm from Mr. K.

                                                                                                Eduardo de la Calle and DJ Surgeles meet Fabio Giachino, David Strike, and Manu Melero Amaya in Telmaco Xavier Quintet, a project where jazz and electronics engage in a real-time exchange rather than a controlled experiment. Set for release on Apnea 115 in May 2025, Time Pawn is built on interaction--musicians and machines reacting to each other, shifting between structure and instinct. Eduardo and Surgeles don't frame jazz within an electronic grid, nor do they treat electronic textures as a decorative layer. Instead, they allow both elements to retain their full character, pushing and pulling in ways that never settle into easy resolutions. Fabio Giachino's piano moves freely, alternately threading through and cutting across the pulse. David Strike and Manu Melero Amaya bring movement that resists the obvious, allowing groove to exist without being locked in place. The result isn't about merging styles but letting them exist in the same space--sometimes in harmony, sometimes in friction, always in motion.

                                                                                                Cleaning Out Empty Administration Building

                                                                                                  'Cleaning Out The Empty Administration Building' is Ross Farrar's latest offering of raw, spoken word abstraction and experimental sound design, presentedhere as R.J.F. The front man for American bands Ceremony and SPICE realized his solo recording project initially as a challenge, to write songs from the ground up, learning the instrumentation and excavating his subconscious in the process. The point was not fluency in musicianship as much as vulnerability; to pull something honest from a moment, unguarded, unpolished, unapologetically amateur and pure. The collection finds Farrar engaged in open-ended poetic dialogue, crossing drum patterns and found sounds with stabs of guitar, bass, and keys. After over twenty years in the comfort and chaos of collaboration, Farrar sheds it all as a test. The results are distinctive and stirring.

                                                                                                  Farrar’s punk pathos is present in traces of 'Cleaning...', while his clearest cues come from music built more through repetition: drone, no-wave, Avant-jazz, and beyond. His plainspoken prose nods to Lou Reed, Rowland S. Howard and other weirdo greats. His lyrics riff on love, addiction, fatherhood, and life in the modern world. “I wanted to make images that people can see clearly,”he says. Farrar used to teach writing and literature, and here he applies the simple principle heencouraged his students to follow: don’t overthink it. “I was just saying to myself, these songs should be fun. They shouldn't be stressful. Do a couple of different takes and call it, you know, don't obsess over the sounds of everything. Do whatever comes out naturally, and if you feel it, then print it”. Selected from hundreds of freeform songs he’s recorded on borrowed gear in recent years, the album presented itself over time. “It just kept coming”.

                                                                                                  'Cleaning...’s tone has a way of bending time, displacing the listener through a hall of songs, each opening a different door into rooms that often feel eerily familiar. The gurgling bass of opener 'Advance' returns elsewhere, haunting tracks like 'Ovidian', a reference to Metamorphōsēs by the Roman poet Ovid, where Farrar waxes on the wonder of change over distant chimes. Instrumentals 'Gravity Hill', a flutter of buzzing synth and static, and 'Frogs', all strums and pots n’ pans percussion, serve as trance-inducing interstitials, adding to the power of the prosethat surrounds. 'Exile' looks back on fallouts he can no longer repair; “So much of your heart caught in my exile,” he sings with tender resignation, looping a lone piano refrain with ambling guitar chords for the collection’s most structured arrangement, a reminder of Farrar’s knack for melodic phrasings. The album ends on 'Traveling Light From Afar', a full step faster than anything that precedes it. Here, over a backbone of motorik pulses, Farrar addresses the crux of the project head-on. “I’ve been so young in my old age / Selfish & self-pitying / But that’s just narcissism–man.”It is this balance, between gritty self-interrogation and the clarity of self-awareness that comes with getting older, that the artist can make space for progress, emptying out the building, one line at a time.

                                                                                                  "I did this piano/Rhodes recording, played live, without overdubs. I believe your approach to sound could match very well these tracks….” That’s how Giovanni Di Domenico’s collaboration with Rutger Zuydervelt started, though the first seeds were planted when the duo did a short live improv together in 2019, and Giovanni joining Hydra Ensemble on stage in 2022.

                                                                                                  'Painting A Picture / Picture A Painting' is - as the title suggests - an album of two long-form pieces, swapping the working method for each. One takes Giovanni’s recordings and has Rutger processing and adding to it, while the other one started with Rutger creating its foundation (with manipulated sounds of the first piece), and Giovanni building upon it. This resulted in two meandering tracks that are clearly linked, like two sides of the same coin. The cover, a painting of an empty canvas, is made by Christiaan Kuitwaard. A beautiful and ultimately fitting visual addition to this mysterious release.

This band is less comprised of tricksters or mischief makers than fearless obsessives whose musical instincts take twisted and wild pathways. Now, fresh from forays into Italo-disco and synth-pop, they have thrown another still more mighty statement of intent into the universe. Louhi is a thunderous and majestic epic of joyful repetition and earth[1]shaking power.

                                                                                                    A two-track minimalist-rock monolith forged from guitars, synths and hurdy-gurdy, inspired by the band’s eternal touchstone influence Outside The Dream Syndicate by Tony Conrad and Faust, and constructed around a single riff and melodic idea, it builds and evolves to fearsome pinnacles of elemental intensity.Luminaries and constant compatriots in the Pharaoh Overlord headspace were recruited for this voyage into the ether. Vocalist and longtime collaborator Aaron Turner (SUMAC, Isis, Old Man Gloom)and Tyneside maverick Richard Dawson were equally keen to get on board, the former taking a spontaneous and improvisatory approach to his vocal parts, and the latter largely playing a part consisting of one guitar chord. Yet whatever routes Pharaoh Overlord take to their destination, a common theme is the consciousness-warping singularity of the riff and the mantra, and the temporal disorientation this can provoke mirrors the broader designs of this record, which takes traditional folk elements and transports them in the band’s singular time machine.

                                                                                                    “It’s our 25th Anniversary this year, and from time to time we hear wishes that if just we could play more of the stuff that we did twenty or more years ago” relate Jussi and Tomi. “We totally understand this. You could say we used Louhi to reset ourselves to the past, to be able to continue again to the future.” Aaron puts it another way, evoking simplicity in the chaos – “The world of Pharaoh Overlord is a magical one - every album is an invitation to enter that place and rejoice in doing so…”

Remarkable how we pulled it off really. The video is hilarious to watch now. We enjoyed camping it up and trying to impersonate each other’s moves, making it up as we went along. It was the only time David and myself collaborated on anything, which is a real shame.”

                                                                                                      30% of the retail price from the sale of this single will be donated by David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Parlophone Records to The Band Aid Charitable Trust (Charity Number 292199).

                                                                                                      Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling & Andreas Werliin

                                                                                                      Ghosted III

                                                                                                        The third time’s the charm! Or perhaps — the third time’s another charming excursion into the seemingly infinite universe of rhythm spontaneously created whenever guitarist Oren Ambarchi, bassist Johan Berthling, and percussionist Andreas Werliin plug in together. However you choose to look at it, several years into their collaborative endeavour, and a little more than a year on from 'Ghosted II', Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin are back with a new finding, constituting fresh developments of their sound — if not their album-titling ambition (in other words, if you can’t guess it’s called 'Ghosted III', you’re just not paying enough attention!).

                                                                                                        In actuality, the sound of this trio has been all about new developments since they first started playing together. That’s something to be simply expected when dropping the tonearm on any of their records, which is a very nice thing. There’s also something to be said for constancy, especially when it produces such stimulating variations of tone and mood within the trio format. So, all good — since there wasn’t anything broke, there was no need to fix it. Instead, just do it again. With that credo, Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin returned to Stockholm’s Studio Rymden to continue the incredible standard of capture that distinguished both 'Ghosted' and 'Ghosted II'.

                                                                                                        Although they took more studio time than ever before (three whole days!), 'Ghosted III’s new development is an increased immediacy in their performances, something a little looser and wilder than than their first two albums — and something, no doubt, that’s been developed by their encounters during the several dozen-plus gigs played since their debut. Thus, their ability to lock in and focus, hanging on to the smallest of details, is here enhanced by an expansive lightness of being. Such potentially polar skill sets could well make for uneven chemistry — but in the hands of these three, a sparkling variety of new jams occurs. They seem to be available to try anything these days, at times playing with the exuberance of prog-rockers or new-wave popsters, alongside the eternal energies of their established styles: ambient neo-jazz, post-kraut, minimal funk. In the end, their shared instinct shapes the varied emissions into structure reaching ever further into the ether — giving 'Ghosted III' a singular quality belonging only to the trio that is Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin.

The 1957 Broadway show ran for 732 performances before going on tour, and the production was nominated for six Tony Awards. The 1961 film version received eleven Academy Awards nomination and won ten.

                                                                                                            'Mormaco Queima' is where it all began for Ana Frango Electrico. Raw, quirky and lo- fi, it's a debut album brimming with attitude and youthful energy, characteristics that would go on to define their sound. Previously released digitally in Brazil in 2018, with a private press CD version in 2020 and later a Brazilian vinyl version in 2022, here at Mr Bongo we felt it deserved a much- needed worldwide edition for all of us to savour.

                                                                                                            A charming, idiosyncratic blend of MPB, Tropicalia, and indie from a talented singersongwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who would later become one of Brazil's brightest international stars. 'Mormaco Queima' has a cool, laidback, swagger channelling '90s bands such as Pavement. The arrangements feel loose and easy, the opener, 'Farelos' (Crumbs), seems to ebb and flow on a razor's edge before the percussion and Antonio Neves' trombone draws the song into a structure.

                                                                                                            Another highlight is 'No Bico Do Mamilo', which has a free-flowing vibe, Ana pushing, pulling, and playing with the song's energy, keeping listeners constantly on their toes. Tracks such as 'Roxo' lean more into a punk attitude, with the pendulum swinging from easy-going to frenetic. The longest song on the album 'Picles', continues to sway the pendulum this time moving from DIY punk- funk into a psychedelic workout Coproduced by friends and fellow future collaborators Guilherme Lirio, Gustavo Benjao, Marcelo Callado, and Thiago Nassif, 'Mormaco Queima' is a playful showcase of Ana Frango Electrico's distinctive style.

                                                                                                            Plotting Ana's musical career, it's clear they are not one to be pigeon-holed, nor to be confined to a single genre. Instead, they are ever evolving and this captivating debut album was the building block for a career that has already seen them gain multiple Latin-Grammy awards and tour the world with their music.

                                                                                                              David Byrne's 'Who Is the Sky?', his first new album since 2018’s acclaimed and award-winning 'American Utopia'. The album was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.

                                                                                                              Musical friends old and new, including St. Vincent, Paramore’s Hayley Williams, The Smile drummer Tom Skinner and American Utopia percussionist Mauro Refosco, also make appearances on 'Who Is the Sky?', which is led by the infectious single 'Everybody Laughs'.

                                                                                                              “Someone I know said, ‘David, you use the word “everybody” a lot.’ I suppose I do that to give an anthropological view of life in New York as we know it,” says Byrne. “Everybody lives, dies, laughs, cries, sleeps and stares at the ceiling. Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done. I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together. Music can do that – hold opposites simultaneously. I realized that when singing with Robyn earlier this year. Her songs are often sad, but the music is joyous.”

                                                                                                              Byrne was inspired to enlist Ghost Train Orchestra for the album after hearing their 2023 tribute album to the blind New York composer and street poet Moondog, and later that year jumped on stage with the group during a Brooklyn performance. Enticed by the 15-member Ghost Train’s varied instrumental lineup – which includes drums, percussion, guitar and bass along with strings, winds and brass – he thought to himself, “what if that’s what these new songs of mine sounded like?” Byrne asked if they’d want to serve as his band for the 'Who Is The Sky?' sessions, and they quickly agreed.

                                                                                                              “I suspected that intimate orchestral arrangements would bring out the emotion I sense is there in these songs,” says Byrne, who is planning to tour 'Who Is The Sky?' later this year. “It’s something that folks don't always hear in my work, but this time for sure I thought it was there. At the same time, I also see myself as someone who aspires to be accessible. I imagined that Kid Harpoon would help with that, as well as being a set of trusted ears, since there was a lot going on. People think of producers as people who mainly make a record sound good, and Kid Harpoon did that, but he was also aware of how important the storytelling is.”

                                                                                                              An admitted “stickler when it comes to grooves,” Byrne welcomed late-in-the-game contributions from Skinner and Refosco, with whom he’s recorded and toured for more than 30 years. Mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent and mastered by Emily Lazar, the finished product is about both hiding and revealing, or as Byrne puts it, “a chance to be the mythical creature we all harbor inside. A chance to step into another reality. A chance to transcend and escape from the prison of our ‘selves.’” These concepts are heavily incorporated in the 'Who Is The Sky?' album package, which was designed by Shira Inbar and finds Byrne nearly obscured by radiating, colored patterns and psychedelic, spiky outfits designed by Belgian artist Tom Van Der Borght.

That said, every new set of songs, every song even, is a new adventure. There's always a bit of, ‘how do I work this?’ I've found that not every collaboration works, but often when they do, it's because I'm able to clearly impart what it is I'm trying to do. They hopefully get that, and as a result, we're now joined together heading to the same unknown place.”

                                                                                                                U.S. Maple's first album, before they fell all apart on 'Sang Phat Editor'. This is the album that "rocks". Disjointed machinations, poppy locksteps and jarring sideways excursions all leading down a path to nowhere's-ville. Engineered by Jim O'Rourke with a cold. Pressed on Muleta Maroon Colored Vinyl LP includes a vinyl-only bonus track plus a two-sided footlong OBI and lyric sheet.

                                                                                                                In high school, the members of U.S. Maple never said a word to anyone. And although this had disastrous results (stolen shoes, constant de-pantsing, gum in the hair, etc...), a fire was burning inside each one of them. A beginning was struck in Chicago, early in 1995. The four met near the corner of Grand and Western Avenues to devise a working method for reorganizing rock and roll, keeping what was felt to be it’s most important core elements. The mumblings are slick. The melodies are souped-up and soured. The drums are spastic bursts of laughter, rocket fuel and confetti. It is fronted by a singer who reminds one or the other of Kevin Costner's stoner bro. A 7” single and a version of AC/DC’s 'Sin City' are the first to be recorded. U.S. Maple’s debut full-length, 'Long Hair In Three Stages' was recorded late in 1995 with Jim O'Rourke at Solid Sound Studios in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. This was Jim's first legitimate recording session with a rock and roll band. The album receives critical acclaim. Soon thereafter, U.S. Maple find themselves flying coach to Deutschland for a European tour. The extensive six-week tour spans 12 countries and includes a Peel Session for the BBC's John Peel Show. More history is made. 'Long Hair In Three Stages' goes on to be ranked #85 on the Alternative Press “90 Greatest Albums of the '90s” list. We all know better.

I felt confident that it would be welcomed especially for the remix of Love Train by the much-missed house music legend Frankie Knuckles, which had only been available as an expensive US import. Americanos, the second single and the biggest hit from Blast!, was probably the earliest remix in this collection. There were other really great remixes, such as the Mount Olympus Mix of Heaven’s Here by Julian Mendelsohn. We holed up for the day in SARM West Studio Two, as favoured by George Michael and a host of other recording artists. This was in fact the same studio where Relax had been recorded(a version of, anyway) and the same room I had sung The Power of Love . Other tracks, such as Perfume with Martyn Phillips, were remixed in Marcus Recording Studios, Fulham. The title track was recorded there with the lovely and talented Tim Hunt. The cover painting was a detail of a portrait I’d commissioned. It looked like summer sunshine and seemed the right image for the album. I’m really happy, Thanks for listening, Holly Johnson."

But the band had actually been storing a large trove of unfinished songs and demos in a Rhode Island storage locker dating back to their beginnings. In 2023, while prepping the recent vinyl releases of their catalog, Andy Chase and Dominique Durand took a trip to Rhode Island and listened to the tapes they had left there all those years ago; tapes labeled with notes like 'Adam’s Wacky Idea 1997', 'Stupid Cat 2005' or 'This one might be good for Shallow Hal'.

                                                                                                                    The pair, along with their longtime friend Bruce Driscoll (Freedom Fry), decided to return to the studio and flesh out the bones of those recordings. While they would never feel right about putting out an album under the IVY moniker without Adam, they realized they didn't have to. Adam had already written and recorded his parts - he is on every song. The trio also enlisted friends that had been involved with making Ivy’s records through the years to join them in the studio to bring these songs to life. 'Traces of You' encapsulates everything that we love and have always loved about Ivy. Could there be more to come? (Yes, there could.)

                                                                                                                      In an era where motivation is the ultimate currency, Soul II Soul’s timeless anthem 'A Dream’s A Dream' remains a beacon of inspiration. Originally penned by Jazzie B in 1990, the track continues to echo the spirit of a movement that reshaped sound system culture—with a dream to become the biggest sound in the world. Soul II Soul continues to welcome all into a world where dreams become reality.

                                                                                                                      Now, 30 years later, this seminal record receives a transcendent rework from none other than deep house visionary Ron Trent. Infused with his signature Chicago-rooted sound, the remix breathes new life into the classic, effortlessly bridging eras with its organic yet electronic finesse. Fresh off winning Best DJ Set of 2024, Ron Trent proves once again why he remains a driving force in dance music, seamlessly blending deep, soulful vibrations with his unparalleled production prowess.

                                                                                                                      Set for an exclusive vinyl release on Funki Dred Records, this highly anticipated remix lands after of the long-awaited Soul II Soul Live album, continuing a sonic journey that transcends generations.

                                                                                                                      From sound system roots to the deep house underground, 'A Dream’s A Dream' continues to evolve, proving that true musicality is forever.

                                                                                                                        'Love Comes Close' is the debut full-length from Cold Cave — a record born of late nights, second-hand synths, and the quiet urgency of DIY bedroom recordings. Written and recorded in Philadelphia between 2008 and 2009, it was first released on Heartworm Press and later reissued by Matador Records, just as the band began its slow rise into cult territory.

                                                                                                                        These are dark pop songs for the solitary and the searching — fragile, romantic, and glimmering with cold light. With nods to the early experiments of The Human League, Throbbing Gristle, and New Order, the album merges goth undercurrents with indie charm and loft-born synth-pop. Eisold’s vocals are at once distant and intimate — poetic, vulnerable, and cutting through the haze.

                                                                                                                        From the aching pulse of the title track to the enduring live staples 'Life Magazine', 'Heaven Was Full', and 'Youth and Lust', 'Love Comes Close' captures that rare moment when isolation gives way to connection, and simplicity meets emotional weight.

                                                                                                                          'Full Cold Moon' is a collection of EPs originally released throughout 2014, now reissued on heavyweight 180-gram 12" vinyl by Heartworm Press. More than a compilation, it’s a document of transition — a period where Cold Cave stretched their sound across a spectrum of isolation and intensity.

                                                                                                                          The release features 'A Little Death to Laugh', 'Oceans With No End', 'God Made the World', 'Black Boots', and 'Nausea, the Earth and Me'. From guitar-laced synth anthems to stripped-down cold wave minimalism, to late night dystopia spin out, these recordings capture a time of sonic exploration and restless reinvention — including the band’s unlikely underground favorite 'A Little Death to Laugh'.

                                                                                                                          Written during Wesley Eisold’s relocation from New York to Los Angeles — a time marked by introspection and distance from the grander scope of 'Cherish The Light Years' — these twelve tracks return to the stark and solitary spirit of 'Cremations' and 'Love Comes Close'. Minimal yet magnetic, 'Full Cold Moon' is Cold Cave at its most experimental, essential, and emotionally raw.

                                                                                                                            Released in 2010 on Matador Records, 'Cherish The Light Years' is Cold Cave’s bold leap into dark stadium pop — an album where post-punk intensity collides with melodic noise, industrial beats, Italo dance euphoria, and moments of pure pop bliss.

                                                                                                                            Recorded at Electric Lady and DFA’s Plantain Studios in NYC, Cherish channels the drama of Siouxsie and the Banshees, the pulse of early Depeche Mode, and the emotional gravity of love, regret, triumph, and failure. With tracks like 'Confetti', 'The Great Pan Is Dead', 'Underworld USA', and 'Villains of the Moon', Cold Cave emerged in a moment with no obvious scene, forging a sound and space entirely their own.

Now, having undergone an Abbey Road remastering, they are re-releasing it on gatefold vinyl for the first time since 2007. The album features the classic six-piece line-up for the last time and is a testament to Tim Smith’s experimental genius.

                                                                                                                                  Whilst there had been abortive attempts at live shows in the early 1980s, this concert is universally considered the veritable COIL live debut.

                                                                                                                                  With a line-up of John Balance, Peter “Sleazy“ Christopherson, Thighpaulsandra and Ossian Brown, COIL took the RFH stage decked out in their custom designed fluffy polar Teletubby suits to perform a supremely hypnotic set, somewhat reminiscent of their seminal Time Machines release but adding variation and tension largely absent from that drone masterpiece. Balance's vocal delivery on “Queens of the Circulating Library“ is still a very controlled but effective affair and quite different from his later manic outbursts.

                                                                                                                                  The show itself as well as the long-out of print and now much sought after 2003 CD release were extremely well received and became the cornerstone of a quick succession of COIL tours in the intervening four short years until Balance's untimely death.

This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to explore crystal caverns and emerald pastures, immersing listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the 60's avant-garde, these musicians utilised the sweeping scope of the synthesiser to create expansive meditations on outer-planetary escapism, human connection, and the natural world. This compilation offers a survey of this singular era, blending pioneering voices with lesser-known artists for an immersive sonic experience.

                                                                                                                                      'Subconsciousology' is a full reworking of Dot Allison’s 2023’s 'Consciousology', by producer Lomond Campbell, who, as the title suggests, has made it deeper, darker and dancier.

                                                                                                                                      Whereas the original album was all ornate avant-garde folk and psychedelic explorations, this new take is as hard-hitting as it is heavenly, as beat-driven as it is beautiful, and crucially it finds Dot re-embracing the electronic music with which she first made her name in One Dove.

                                                                                                                                      “I love that Lomond has brought a rich musicality and has created wild universes around the elements he has chosen to retain in the various songs,” adds Dot. “It reminds me of working with Andrew Weatherall in a way, where the mixes were bold and reinventive departures.

                                                                                                                                      “The whole concept of the original record is about interconnectivity and the electromagnetic aspects to consciousness, so the remixed version is like a rainbow diffracted from a beam of light.”

                                                                                                                                      Everything in this pot of gold sounds and feels at once familiar but different – from the chugging electro of ‘Unchanged’ and ‘Bleached By The Sun’, to the almost absurd, Aphex Twin-like shock of ‘220Hz’ and the closer ‘Weeping Roses’, which is twisted from a Tim Hardin-style lament into the most unlikely acid house banger.

                                                                                                                                      “Dot has a real knack for creating striking melodies that hit quickly and stay with you,” says Lomond. “I tried to build different chord structures around those vocal lines, re-harmonising to take it to darker places.”

While the original versions touch on classic Disco / Vocal House, Londoner Oliver Night takes his remixes into deeper territory and brukwise.

                                                                                                                                          Delving into the Great American Songbook of Howe Gelb, 'Sandworms' is a new collection that rephrases and rephases the legacy of Giant Sand across generations. This release offers bold reinterpretations from Water From Your Eyes, Deradoorian, Jesca Hoop & John Parish, Lily Konigsberg, Holiday Ghosts, Ella Raphael, Monde UFO, The Golden Dregs, and Gently Tender.

                                                                                                                                          The ever-present Giant Sand and their one-man cerebral traveller, Howe Gelb, are anchored by a reputation for idiosyncratic storytelling. A “natural storyteller,” Gelb’s multifarious musical delivery adds an enduring sense of wonder as he extols the virtues of happenstance. This collection celebrates the esoteric and singular journey Giant Sand have taken, through alt-country, jazz, lo-fi experiments, and beyond, while their legacy is reimagined here by a new generation of artists paying tribute to their lasting influence.

                                                                                                                                          Brooklyn duo Water From Your Eyes, known for their stoner humour, fatalistic undercurrents, and art-pop flair, bring a delicate balance of punk riffing and dream-pop escapism to 'Warm Storm', first heard on Giant Sand’s 'Ramp' (1991). Whitney K takes on 'Happenstance' (from 1994’s 'Glum'), unravelling its existential puzzles with a whispering baritone that recalls the hushed intensity of Leonard Cohen.

                                                                                                                                          Drifting further into orbit, Angel Deradoorian reinterprets 'Center Of The Universe', the title track from the band’s 1992 album, transforming its desert-fried rock into a spaced-out Sun Ra-paced drama. Elsewhere, 'Yer Ropes', a jaw-dropping highlight from 'Glum', is taken on by The Golden Dregs, blurring sentimentality and relationship mismanagement into something truly strange and moving.

                                                                                                                                          A special collection for both long-time fans and the newly curious, 'Sandworms: The Songs of Howe Gelb and Giant Sand' is released via Fire Records and includes liner notes from Dave Henderson (Mojo).

                                                                                                                                            Originally released in 2005, 'Silent Alarm' marked a bold debut from Bloc Party and quickly became a landmark album of 2000s British Indie Rock. From 'Helicopter' to 'Banquet' to 'This Modern Love', 'Silent Alarm' helped define the sound of the 2000s and captured the tension and energy of a generation on the edge of change. Restless and immediate, it still resonates two decades on and remains one of the era’s most influential albums.

                                                                                                                                            This deluxe 20th anniversary on 4LP box set or 2CD set includes the original album plus an additional rare demos, B-sides, and live session recordings. Also included is a booklet with never-before-seen personal photos of the band and exclusive liner notes, including a new foreword by producer Paul Epworth - offering a deeper look at the album’s creation and legacy.

Originally released September 15th 2023 via Bad Vibrations in Europe, and now on its second vinyl pressing, the new album comes off the back of the band’s world tour with Amyl and the Sniffers in 2022, and their recent UK headline dates this May where C.O.F.F.I.N stunned audiences with the high-intensity rock action they are renowned for. 'Australia Stops' was recorded in January 2023 at The Pet Food Factory studio with producer Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) behind the desk. A record that showcases a collection of diverse and gripping new works that highlight the band's evolution into more melodious, 1970's Australiana and boogie rock and roll. Frenzied, high-voltage guitars, thumping rhythms, flowing melody and clever, captivating lyrics exhibit an undeniable progression in composition and songwriting, while still unmistakably the C.O.F.F.I.N that fans world-wide have come to worship over their 18-year lifespan.

A sumptuous piece of gourmet music: Timeless dub, executed to perfection. The B-Side sees Lindo cover Al Green and Bobby Womack, converting their slow jams into stoney instrumental masterpieces, a sort of precursor to the hip-hop way of sampling and reinterpreting our collective heritage. Far & Distant was recorded at 220 Marcus Garvey Drive, eight years prior to Rita Marley relocating Tuff Gong International to that address. A relic from an era where being “in the studio” actually meant something.

While Ayers would later become a jazz-funk pioneer and delve heavily into R&B fusions, his third album Stoned Soul Picnic is a masterful showcase of soul-jazz grooves. Produced by Herbie Mann, Stoned Soul Picnic features a memorable Laura Nyro-penned title track, along with an exceptional lineup of musicians, including Gary Bartz, Hubert Laws, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, and Grady Tate. Originally released in 1968, this early Roy Ayers classic is now receiving an official reissue on limited-edition vinyl via Nature Sounds.

                                                                                                                                                                      Don't Worry

                                                                                                                                                                      Idealism

                                                                                                                                                                        ‘Idealism’ is an album about navigating life in the 2020s as millennial adults, and all the difficulties and uncertainties that come with that - knowing you’ll probably never be able to afford to buy a house, and that a simple grocery shop costs way more than ever before. But it’s also about all the joys and positives of modern life too - being kind to yourself, being kind to other people, and overcoming difficulties.

                                                                                                                                                                        The band tries to capture that dichotomy on this album, hence the title ‘Idealism’, which the dictionary says is “the unrealistic belief in or pursuit of perfection”.

                                                                                                                                                                        The album has been a long time in the making, diligently demoed before tracking across studios in London & Essex. Taking a more pop production approach, layering parts and additional keyboards, synthesisers and percussion to add a richer and fuller sound to their traditional indie rock set up.

                                                                                                                                                                        Nostalgia has always been a running theme for Don’t Worry, as displayed on 2022’s ‘Remorseless Swing’ and 2018 debut album ‘Who Cares Anyway?’. There’s a decent dose of it on this new album still, including on the cover, with a photograph taken in their home of Harlow New Town in 2001 by Jim Brown. And in their musical influences, Pavement, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, The Streets, Fleetwood Mac, UK Grime and The GTA Vice City Soundtrack (alongside contemporary influences such as Fontaines D.C., MJ Lenderman, Andy Shauf).

                                                                                                                                                                        But perhaps for the first time on this album, they push through the comfort of the past, embrace the present and look forward to the future with hope.

His output as both a performer and producer included multiple major reggae hits. After his international break through, he produced work for keyboard maestro Harold Butler. Butler’s widely sought-after ‘Gold Connection’ album, an instrumental collection from 1976 features nine superior reggae and soul instrumentals, including popular versions of ‘That’s The Way I Like It’ and the title track. This album is an essential acquisition for both completists and all those who prefer their reggae with a little bit of soul.

Because it delivers such a powerful, complex and open-ended punch, it's almost impossible at such an early stage to explain why or how in full detail.” Melody Maker. // “I would be willing to sit down and argue that modern-day rock ‘n’ roll reached its peak in 1978 with Pere Ubu’s The Modern Dance and has declined ever since." Rolling Stone // “Peru Ubu’s full length debut fancies itself a fusion of musique concrete and The Stooges. Shrill and ugly it crystallises their original version of industrial rock” Uncut // The Modern Dance’ is the first studio release from Pere Ubu. Following their self-released first singles on Hearpen Records, the uncompromising complex debut has continuously stirred critics. Today the record is still as direct and powerful as it was first heard. Exploding onto the scene with a handful of releases behind them, Pere Ubu’s ‘The Modern Dance’ stunned the music world and quickly began appearing on ‘Most Influential’ album lists. Pere Ubu originally formed as a studio project drawing on a body of musicians who were involved in the Cleveland underground music scene that had, by August 1975, seemingly run its course. The main objective of the band at that time was to document their work and then disappear. Luckily for us they were on the cusp of changing the face of rock forever. For this reworking, Paul Hamann at Suma has transferred from the original 2-track analogue mix tapes to digital at the highest resolution available which, is at least four times the resolution of the original. The tracks have carefully been re-mastered by sonic architect Brian Pyle so as to capture the unique qualities within.
