With just over a week to go until the release of new album Scis, the pioneering producer has shared the album's latest single "Oxagon", a glistening slice of ambient escapism:

Listen to Oxagon now

Highly recommended for fans of everything from 80s Japanese ambient obscurities to Four Tet's weightless dancefloor workouts.

Scis is available to pre-order now on limited-edition white vinyl.

To celebrate the release of Scis, Oval will be premiering pieces from the album at Berghain Kantine on Jan. 15th.

Sightless Pit brings together three of the most ambitious and prolific minds in heavy music today. The trio, comprised of Lee Buford of The Body, Kristin Hayter of Lingua Ignota and Dylan Walker of Full of Hell, have announced the release of their debut album Grave of a Dog, due out on Feb. 21st.

Listen to first single "Kingscorpse"

A truly mind-melting record that's somehow even greater than the sum of its parts, Grave of a Dog twists through elegiac dirges, driving beats, explosive crescendos, punctuated by Hayter's operatic vocals and Walker's venemous howl. Huge tip for fans of any of the members' other projects, Black To Comm's hallucinogenic electronics and Consumer Electronic's transcendent noise.

Grave of a Dog is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent pink vinyl. Given that the announcement of Full of Hell's last album broke the relapse records website I wouldn't sleep on this one - these won't be sticking around long... 

 

 

 

The enigmatic New York group have announced new album We Love to Look at the Carnage, due out February 2020 on Thrill Jockey Records, sharing smouldering first single “Coyotes of Central Park”.

Listen to "Coyotes of Central Park"

Peeling back the layers of orchestral bombast that defined the group’s early work, We Love to Look at the Carnage compiles some of Wrekmeister Harmonies most subtle and powerful work to date. The album sees the core duo of guitarist/vocalist JR Robinson and multi-instrumentalist Esther Shaw augmented by longtime friend and collaborator Thor Harris (Swans) on percussion and for the first time Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) on electronics, introducing surprising new sonics into their skeletal arrangements. A perfect entry point for those not familiar with their catalogue, and an exciting evolution of their sound for the heads.

We Love to Look at the Carnage is available to pre-order now on limited-edition orange vinyl, CD and digital.

Following the release of the Eksploio EP earlier this month, pioneering producer Oval continues charting a course for the dancefloow with new single "Impecco", exploring and subverting elements of club music while sounding only like himself.

Listen to "Impecco" now

Some of Oval’s most playful work to date, “Impecco” shifts from supple, weightless loops of sampled chimes, bells and treated piano to rugged electronic rhythms, as immediate as it is meticulously detailed.
