One For Archie
On One For Archie, Moor Mother joins Nicole Mitchell and Nduduzo Makhathini to turn a cancelled duet into a living monument, threading Shepp’s titles, politics and tonal language into a fierce hymn of gratitude, grief and ongoing struggle, paired with the incendiary, future‑facing “They’ve Got A Plan.”
The Boy And The Tree
The Boy and the Tree was composed after a visit to Yakushima Island, an outstandingly beautiful world heritage site off the southern tip of Japan, scored by a deep, lush and ancient ravine, home of the ancient 7000-year old ‘Jōmon Sugi’. Tree. Also the inspiration for Miyazaki's epic anime Princess Mononoke, a conflict between the rampant greed and destructive force of humanity, and the stoic, mysterious fragility of nature.
This fleeting immersion in nature lent the album a profound introspecti…
Lampo
Coherent States is excited to announce the release of Will Guthrie’s new album “Lampo”, containing brand new material recorded during his 2024 performance at the Lampo event series in Chicago. In his third session for the series, Will presented a fresh concept based on brief and recurring modules generated solely by acoustic drums and percussion, without any use of electronics. The experimental structures that together form the 32 minutes of the performance deliberately deviate and reintegrate a…

Sara Juega Y...
Ghost-record from 1986 Mexico City underground. Nine minimal folk compositions of rare delicacy - an acoustic guitar breathing in solitude. American Primitivism filtered through personal intimacy.
Last Wish
Last Wish is one of those records where Himukalt turns autobiography into something sharper, stranger and more confrontational than confession. Framed as fiction but sparked by the collapse of a sexless relationship, the album channels not heartbreak but a more corrosive residue: contempt, pity, unresolved rage. The narrator admits that by the end “I didn’t love her; I just felt pity for her,” yet the anger remained, and Last Wish becomes the space where that anger is stretched, tested, and held…
New Morning
Collective interplay is essentially about listening and giving space. If ever there was a credo for this ensemble recording, this would be it. Sometimes the soloist or a small group steps forward, other times they play as a large unit. This collective of musicians are connected through old and new friendships, a set of relations that has been formed through two decades of co-creation on stage and in the studio, and their new recording is a reaffirmation of that with an A-side of free improvisati…
Oppet Tre
Sweden's late '60s creative explosion saw Roland Keijser's quartet forge unprecedented music, bridging American free jazz, minimal composition, and Swedish folk heritage. These lost Öppet Tre recordings capture a pivotal moment when Swedish musicians created sounds never heard before

The story begins with the first generation of African American jazz artists who transformed…
Universal Light
Debut by a new string trio of Pelt and Elkhorn veterans with the wild card contributions of Kaily Schenker, creating a new variant of supremely pleasing acoustic-psychedelic-drone-Americana etc. “Lullaby>Summer Field” is an aptly named gentle rise, with Sheppard’s fingerpicked 12 string snaking through waves of elongated fiddle and cello. “Triode>Freedom” follows a darker minor-key ostinato with Gangloff’s keening melody over the top. “Freedom>Universal Blues” starts as a dirge and builds to a t…
Ecophony Rinne
One of the most innovative and ambitious albums ever made, Genioh Yamashirogumi’s Ecophony Rinne is a sonic masterpiece featuring over 200 musicians that expanded the limits of what music and sound could do.
Music From Alejo
Following the reissue of The Pocket of Fever, Ambient Sans presents the second chapter in Masahiro Sugaya’s visionary work for the avant-garde performing arts company Pappa Tarahumara.
The Reintegration of the Ear
Composed by Christina Vantzou between 2023 and 2025 after being commissioned by INA GRM, The Reintegration of the Ear defines listening as a radical, embodied act of attention: a slower kind of presence rooted in care, intimacy, and reflection.
Sunset and Forever
Sunset and Forever finds Cindytalk once again stepping into the faultline between collapse and renewal, extending a project that has always treated the band itself as sculptural material to be broken apart and reformed. From the earliest days of Camouflage Heart and In This World, Cinder’s vision fused post‑punk dissonance, industrial dirge, and abject rock deconstruction with a strangely luminous vocal presence – the same voice that threaded through early This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins reco…
The Sinking of The Titanic
2026 Repress. Mega-Tip! Gavin Bryars was born in Yorkshire, England in 1943. His first musical forays were as a jazz bassist working in the early 1960s with improvisors Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. Bryars later worked with composers John Cage and Cornelius Cardew, founded the Portsmouth Sinfonia and collaborated with Brian Eno on his famed Obscure imprint.
The Sinking of the Titanic, Bryars' first major composition, was inspired by the tragic event of the British passenger liner's cross-Atlantic…
Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom
The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of "Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom", Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Pa…
San Francisco
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On San Francisco, Bobby Hutcherson joins forces with saxophonist Harold Land, plus Joe Sampleon electric piano, John Williams on bass, and Mickey Roker on drums, to chart a different kind of urban landscape. The record weaves elements of soul, funk, and freer jazz into a set that’s as rhythmically grounded as it is harmonically curious. Hutcherson’s vibes and Land’s reeds trade phrases with conversational ease, while the rhythm section mixes backbeat, swing, and …
Threewave
On Threewave, 36 gathers Wave Variations, Symmetry Systems and Reality Engine into a single arc of luminous machine melancholia: a five‑year study in concise synth miniatures where strict limitations yield ever‑wider emotional and conceptual horizons.
Clic
180gr. Black vinyl. There is no figure in Italian music, nor within the country’s shimmering, expansive avant-garde, who demands the respect and awe offered to Franco Battiato. He is the beginning and the end. An artist whose output, stretching across six decades, is so diverse and singular, that it defies any concrete definition - darting from psychedelic Prog, definitive gestures in the history of Minimalism, to the heights of explicit Pop. Like many of his contemporaries, Battiato’s journey t…
