IRISARRI, RAFAEL ANTON	A Fragile Geography (10th Anniversary) (Orange Vinyl)	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 021OR-LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Orange color vinyl version. Rafael Anton Irisarri's landmark work reimagined. Marking the tenth anniversary of the American composer's critically acclaimed album A Fragile Geography, this new edition arrives renewed, both sonically and visually. First released in 2015 during a period of personal upheaval and creative reinvention, it endures as a testament to resilience, transformation, and the connection we hold with the places that shape us. Written in the aftermath of a devastating theft, A Fragile Geography was born out of loss. Just days before a cross-country move to New York, Irisarri's entire Seattle-based studio was wiped out. Instruments. Recordings. Archives. Gone without a trace. He arrived on the East Coast to an empty room and the daunting task of starting over. Composed and recorded in the rural woods of the Hudson Valley, the album took shape in seclusion, surrounded by nature, and through a process guided by improvisation. Embracing limitations, Irisarri wove textural layers of field recordings with half-remembered melodies from his Seattle years, piecing them together like fragments of memory. Among its defining sounds is "Empire Systems," a monumental centerpiece built around a simple four-chord progression, organ textures, and guitar drones. Gradually, the track expands into layers of immersive loops and thick, enveloping distortion that wash over the listener like a rolling wave. More than a career highlight, A Fragile Geography has laid the foundation for Black Knoll studio, which Irisarri rebuilt from the ground up. The studio has since grown into a creative hub for countless projects, with Irisarri engineering records for iconic music figures like Terry Riley, Ryuichi Sakamoto, William Basinski, MONO, Devendra Banhart, Grouper, Emeralds, Steve Hauschildt, Julianna Barwick, and many others. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with exceptional attention to detail, this anniversary edition uncovers every nuance in the sound design, enhancing clarity and presence. With each listen, new elements emerge, inviting discovery and reconnection.

JASSS	Eager Buyers	LP	AWOS	AWOS 001LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS, presents her third LP, Eager Buyers. It's the inaugural release on her own new platform called AWOS, which also encompasses musical, AV and art collaborations, live events, and a radio show. Eager Buyers is an observation of longing, of memory, of attempted connection, of lost innocence, and irreconcilable dreams. It's the sound of broken promises for a bright future, where rose-tinted glasses have lost their clarity, dirtied with disaffection over time. Across this sultry, smoky, cinematic epic, JASSS attempts to process mixed feelings amidst the modern malaise. Alluringly atmospheric and cerebral, but bold and direct, with high-spec sound design, JASSS spaces each element with expert definition. Searing swathes of noise nestle with crisp breakbeats, billowing bass, dark ambience, prepared piano, phosphorescent electronics and calibrated percussion. A sort of anti-nostalgia, the record lives in a contemporary purgatory of oblique moods which hover in the psyche, somewhere between uncertainty, foreboding, and guarded anticipation. The raw metal of bass guitar strings plays a key part too, ranging from ornate melodic phrases, shoegazy drones, and attitude-riven hard twangs. Vocals come from JASSS herself, plus James K and Alias Error on the track "It's A Hole." The heavy, hauntological atmospherics are in part due to the addition of field recordings -- the discreet, but spiritually-loaded incidental sounds of a place which can capture its history, with the acoustics somehow retaining an emotional imprint of lives long gone. If pressed for descriptive reference points, "masterfully-produced-post-punk-post-rockbaroque-gothy-dubby-trip-hop" might be a starting point, but that doesn't do it justice. Equally spectral in their dream-like quality are the musical signposts, where genre elements are familiar, but somehow also unplaceable, untethered from context, and beautifully strange in their new composite. At points there's an air of strangely dazed calm too -- a kind of frazzled cool in the face of desolation, and even tender, lighter moments, which glint through the cracks.

SATIN JACKETS	Cruise Control	2LP	GOLDEN HOUR RECORDINGS	GHRLP 001LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 With his new album Cruise Control, Satin Jackets presents a perfect musical soundtrack for relaxed moments that take listeners away from the stresses of everyday life. The title of the album is meaningful: Cruise Control stands for the feeling of switching on the autopilot, leaning back and enjoying the journey to the fullest -- an atmosphere that the album unfolds. The album is a collection of singles that have been released over the last few years and are all interwoven at their core. Because no matter where you listen to the songs, they work, images arise in your head and your feet rarely stay still. Satin Jackets remains true to himself with his album sound, as he repeatedly receives feedback from listeners who appreciate the positive mood in his songs and which always puts them in a good mood. The songs are first created in the producer's head and then develop together with the features, who add their own touch. For Satin Jackets, "the most important thing is this immediate feeling that it fits musically and atmospherically." This can also come out of nowhere, as was the case with David Bay and Small Black, who got in touch with the producer and it was an instant fit. "There are always those magical moments when a song comes out of nowhere. Once I had an idea for a chord sequence that I couldn't get out of my head, but somehow that certain something was still missing. I then spontaneously asked a bassist friend of mine if he would like to play something to it -- ten minutes later we had a hook that carried the whole piece. It's these unexpected, spontaneous inspirations that make the process so exciting." Cruise Control is more than just another album from Satin Jackets. It is an invitation to enjoy the moment and surrender to the music -- a soundtrack that creates a good mood and takes you on a relaxing journey. So just switch on the autopilot again, put on your headphones and let yourself go. Featuring Seint Monet and Nazzereene.

ZIUR	Home	LP	RAUM MUSIK	RAUM 006LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 On her fifth album, Ziúr considers not just what home symbolizes from her perspective, but the word's resonance to the diverse community that surrounds her, and how their stories have impacted her over the years. Indeed, it's the first time she's felt it necessary to examine her own nationality. In the past, she's deliberately avoided labelling herself as German, feeling disconnected from her country's politics, culture and even the German language itself. Stepping up to provide a different narrative, Ziúr scours her soul, writing and singing in German for the first time and proposing growth and evolution, not fear and regression. A solemn mood permeates the album's opening track 'Brown is the Color', and Ziúr sings in measured, slow-motion breaths over noisy synth oscillations and doomed piano flourishes. Already, it's a significant departure from her last run of releases, veering away from the frenetic, satirical chaos of 2023's Hakuna Kulala-released Eyeroll or its fantastical, dubby predecessor Antifate. Ziúr pulls on real world insights here, tracing her oldest, dearest musical inspirations to present her origins to anybody who might be listening. It's pop music in its own way, inverted and reconstructed to fit snugly into her well-established sonic landscape. On "No Yawn," brittle, downsampled hi-hats and industrial scrapes ping-pong around distorted riffs, provided by James Ó Ceallaigh aka WIFE. Even the beatless "All Odds No Chants," a collaboration with Elvin Brandhi and Sara Persico, reveals another room in Ziúr's autobiographical suite. An openness carries the whole record, whether she's crying harsh truths over damaged orchestral scrapes on the album's goth-y title track, or duetting with Manchester's Iceboy Violet on "Through the Trees." On the former, Ziúr's voice soars, echoing hypnotically over unsettling analog distortions and gnarled strings. It's one of the eeriest and most beautiful tracks she's penned, camouflaging its broken electronics with ghostly moans and theatrical punctuations. By inviting in her own demons, Ziúr has been able to write her most personal album. Her relationship with home will always be thorny, but through music, she's been able to create a place to exist that's truly comfortable and protective.

ANKERSMIT, THOMAS	The Dip	LP	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 140LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Students of Decay presents The Dip, a new full-length recording by Berlin-based artist and composer Thomas Ankersmit, marking his debut with the label and sixth album to date. Comprised of two expansive, sidelong pieces composed entirely on the Serge Modular synthesizer, it signals a subtle yet significant shift in Ankersmit's trajectory, imbuing the hyper-physical, psychoacoustic intensities of his live performances with introspective, atmospheric, and even melodic elements. Primarily known for a site-responsive approach to sound, often realized in the moment of performance, Ankersmit's turn toward the studio in the last few years has opened up a new dimension within his practice. It is in this quiet rupture that The Dip emerged, a study in internality and suspended states, rich with cinematic undercurrents and ghostly spatial suggestion. Here, electricity itself feels transfigured -- becoming supple, even organic -- within an environment shaped entirely by analog signals. Over the past two decades, Ankersmit has established himself as one of the foremost practitioners of the Serge, the notoriously idiosyncratic and expressive instrument that has remained central to his work. On The Dip, he harnesses its potential not for brute force or disorientation, but for spaciousness, resonance, and lyrical abstraction. Without resorting to additional processing or effects, he draws out tones that feel simultaneously raw and refined, articulated and blurred -- intricate structures that seem to breathe and evolve of their own volition. The result is a kind of auditory hallucination, a "cinema for the ears," wherein impressions, emotional arcs, and imagined topographies unfold. Each side of The Dip plays like a single gesture unfolding in time -- a spatial narrative constructed through vibration, density, and the movement of air. The Dip follows acclaimed works on PAN, Touch, and Shelter Press, and reaffirms Thomas Ankersmit's position as one of the most focused and probing voices in contemporary experimental music. Quietly radical and meticulously constructed, it is less a departure than a deepening -- a descent into a more private sonic world, where the boundaries between perception, memory, and pure signal dissolve.

MAIGUASHCA, MESIAS	Cello In My Life	CD	BUH RECORDS	BR 187CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Buh Records presents the release of Cello in My Life, the new album by the renowned Ecuadorian composer Mesías Maiguashca. This deeply personal work reflects an intimate exploration of the relationship between the cello and the artist's life, realized in collaboration with celebrated cellist Gaby Schumacher. The album features six remarkable compositions spanning Maiguashca's career from 1972 to 2015. Each piece offers a unique perspective on his groundbreaking approach to music, blending acoustic and electronic elements to create an immersive sound experience. Highlights include: "Übungen" (1972-73): A fascinating dialogue between cello and synthesizer, performed by Gaby Schumacher and Maiguashca himself. "Lindgren" (1973): A haunting composition for cello and magnetic tape. "El Oro" (1992): A meditation on cultural collisions between the Old and New Worlds, featuring flute, cello, and spoken word. "The Spirit Catcher" (1993): An evocative piece inspired by the writings of Carlos Castañeda, combining cello and electronics. "unvermindert weiter" (1993): A duet for cello and accordion that highlights the interplay between the two instruments. "por el yasuní" (2015): A poignant commentary on the protests to protect Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, featuring violin, cello, and electronic textures. This release also marks the second collaboration between Maiguashca and Buh Records, following the critically acclaimed 2021 collection Música para cinta magnética (+) instrumentos (1967?1989). Cello in My Life stands as a testament to Maiguashca's enduring legacy as one of the most significant voices in contemporary and experimental music from Latin America. The album's intricate soundscapes and profound themes promise to captivate both long-time admirers and new listeners alike. Set for release on February 28, 2025, the album will be available on digital platforms and as a physical CD edition. This milestone in Maiguashca's discography further cements his reputation as a pivotal figure in the realm of contemporary and experimental music from Latin America.

BRAEN/PEYMONT	Paese Sotto Inchiesta	LP	MUSICA PER IMMAGINI	MPI 016LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 At the end of the '60s, the production of soundtracks for small and big classics of Italian cinema was joined by another business which has proved to be less profitable but more creative and, in best case, free from the constraints imposed by clients on duty: the composition of music libraries. Almost all of the artists for the eighth art have finalized at least one or more music libraries. Names famous and not, old and young composers, real outsiders and meteors, usually hidden behind pseudonyms: this is the case, for example, of Braen and Peymont. The first needs no introduction, it was the one adopted by the former arranger, multi- instrumentalist, singer and composer Alessandro Alessandroni. The second is closely linked to the mysterious American composer, but resident in Italy, David Hoyt Kimball. The two are authors in different measure of an interesting album with an experimental background, Paese Sotto Inchiesta (1971), originally published by Flirt Records. The titles of the tracks appear in connection with the socio-cultural climate of Italy after 1968 and can be relocated as a background for journalistic-like images. The latter is a hypothesis not supported by facts, but some titles seem to be referred to the perception of a subsisting economic backwardness of the southern regions compared to the other ones; to a situation of collective tension, thanks to the global revolutions; in addition to the new concerns with an ecological background. Overall, the seventeen tracks on the album are mostly "dirty," characterized by an even atonal setting, with long repetitions in a noisy key, more fundamental reverbs and echoes for the different keyboard instruments. In a few words, abstract sounds, some guitar notes, echoes of Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, flute melodies and proto- ambient intuitions. Composers like Alessandro Alessandroni and David Hoyt Kimball deserve to be rediscovered. Following the essence of the work, for this press, MPI release a 100% recycled vinyl that reduce waste, minimize environmental impact and support the planet.

VA	Silberland Vol 3: The Ambient Side Of Kosmische Musik 1972-1986	CD	BUREAU B	BB 471CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 On their last trip to Silberland, hurtled along the chrome highways and glass skyways of the kosmische landscape, powered ever onwards in perpetual motorik motion. This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to immerse listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the '60s avant-garde, these musicians utilized the sweeping scope of the synthesizer to create expansive meditations. This compilation offers a survey of this singular era, blending pioneering voices with lesser-known artists for an immersive sonic experience. Taken from Cluster & Eno's self-titled 1977 album, "Ho Renomo" opens the set with a profound minimalism. Roedelius' "Veilchenwurzeln" follows, evoking pastoral scenes in a multi-layered and undulating composition, where synths flow gently, conjuring images of open fields and embodying an organic warmth. Der Plan's "Die Wüste" delves into darker territories, translating the visual world of Rainer Kirberg's cult film into a stark soundscape, while Rolf Trostel's "Hope Is The Answer" sees a steady sequence rise and fall beneath the filter. The koto-like plucks and piercing drones of Vono's "Hitze" create a mysterious and hypnotic experience which draws on both ancient and futuristic tones before giving way to "E-Night", a recording from the sessions of You's 1980 LP Electric Days. As the album progresses, Serge Blenner's "Phrase IV" beguiles with minimalist yet celestial synth lines, while Moebius' "Falsche Ruhe" offers a quiet, haunting meditation on solitude. From there, Harald Grosskopf's "Oceanheart," envelops listeners in aquatic ambient textures that suggest serene, moonlit waters -- a perfect surface to reflect the starry sky portrayed by Lapre's acoustic guitar and wistful synths. The glimmering, crystalline, landscape of Riechmann's "Abendlicht" finds a heartbeat amongst the tranquility, leading seamlessly into the unhurried progression of shimmering chords and chiming synths which make up Adalbert von Deyen's "Per Aspera Ad Astra". Unreleased until Bureau B's recent retrospective set, Faust's "Lampe An, Tür Zu, Leute Rein!" channels a darker, introspective, energy, marked by drones and field recordings while Conrad Schnitzler's "Electric Garden" creates an electronic biosphere buzzing with synthetic life. Moebius & Plank's "Nordöstliches Gefühl" pairs calm percussion and rhythm guitar with pastoral, swirling electronics, resulting in a lush, stately piece that captures the spirit of a vast, open landscape. Deutsche Wertabeit delivers hypnotic minimalism, before Asmus Tietchens' "Räuschlinge" pulls the listener into an eerie atmosphere of deep disquiet. Pyrolator's "Minimal Tape 1/8" offers an immersive wall of sound. The wintry "Southland" by Rüdiger Lorenz evokes the isolation of frozen landscapes, a fitting prologue for "Alleewalzer" by Thomas Dinger.

BELIEF DEFECT	Desire and Discontent	CD	RASTER	R-M 212CD
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 The world became another since the release of Decadent yet Depraved (R-M 178CD, 2017), and so has Belief Defect's reflection of it: now darker, political, honest -- end times in Cinemascope. When the duo reunited in the studio after the two-year fracture COVID inflicted on reality, the album that had been on pause all this time seemed insufficient against whatever life had morphed into, while humanity hid from itself. Finishing an album coherent to the present moment took prolonged studio shut-ins that proved to be as cathartic as the struggle sessions of the cultural revolution must have been. Desire and Discontent unfolds like a parable, structured by subsonic frequencies that give arrangements a solid gravity, dissonant chord progressions resulting in coherent movements, punctuated by human-like voices over slow, suspenseful melodies that come into being without the listener's awareness. Contributing to the album with machine-like precision drumming is Merlin Ettore, vocals from Anna Gartner, and the artwork of Juan Mendez (Silent Servant).

Cardoso continues his sonic travelogue on insularity with Impressões de Várias Ilhas.

Soaking in the sounds and recollections from Azores, Cape Verde and Canary Islands these diaristic endeavors spread throughout a number of real environments, from water caves and black stone beaches and lagoons to small harbors and everyday life scenarios, to project them into this not quite imaginary but not quite real memory haze that goes from a deeply personal impression to a resonating one. Melding raw field recordings with processed ones and synthesized landscapes, Cardoso never falters into sonic tour-ism, conjuring small-ish takes both vivid and dreamy, infused with a sense of wonder that feels both bewildering, com-forting and escapist. The breaking waves of "Bufadeiros de São Vicente" soothing in their irregular pattern, mingling with the lone echoing tones not completely removed from Black Dice's "Beaches & Canyon's" most pensive passages, flow into the underwater ambience and suspended pads of "La Cueva Scuba Livre," as reflections of the same sea crashing in on different lands, nature's psychogeography. Further on, the queasy warm chord and scraping murmurs of "Noite em Rabo de Peixe" mirror their nighttime framing while "Rãs em Xoxo" veers closer to pure musique concréte, crossed by a subdued feeling of unease that lingers in the nostalgia of "Cozido da Caldeira Velha," brimming within the haze of a Boards of Canada vignette. Summoning the past lives and future hauntings of its scenery, "Salinas de Pedra Lume" is like the quiet epic of the album, meandering into the unknown among crackling field recordings, decaying synths and flute-like howls -- or is it howl-like flutes? -- recurring as glimpses from foregone existences, not necessarily Gonçalo's own.

NIDIA & VALENTINA	Estradas	LP	LATENCY RECORDINGS	LTNC 026LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 Paris' Latency presents Estradas, an electrifying dance music album by multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti and Afro-Portuguese beat-maker Nídia. The album follows the footsteps of Moritz von Oswald, Laurel Halo, Duval Timothy, Angel Bat Dawid, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, and more on the French label. Estradas ("roads" in Portuguese), born from the Sicilian heat and refined under English rain, transcends cultural and environmental barriers, showcasing the duo's rhythmic expertise and connection through intricate beats and infectious melodies. The album celebrates the universal language of music, immersing listeners in a world where rhythm reigns supreme and movement is inevitable. Nídia and Valentina continuously meet "on the road," sharing a sonic adaptation to the urgency and context of different environments. Their exchange of vibes and beats resonates with all these diverse places. Produced by Tom Halstead (Raime/Moin), Estradas masterfully blends syncopated drum patterns, pulsating marimba lines, and melodic interludes.
