Long sought after, we're ecstatic to announce we'll be re-issuing Lightning Bolt's eponymous and extremely rare debut album (also known as "the yellow record"). This is the first time the album will have been in print since it's initial (super-limited) release 20 years ago.

Pre-order Lightning Bolt's self-titled now

Released as a double LP, the second record features songs recorded at the same time but never released before on vinyl. Packaged in a silkscreen wrap using the original design by Brain Chippendale, truly a must-have for any Lightning Bolt fan.

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.

Listen to "Menhebi" now

Little Common Twist is out November 8th and is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent pink vinyl.

OOIOO, the acclaimed avant-rock act fronted by Japanese experimental music figurehead YoshimiO (Boredoms / Free Kitten) have announced the release of new album album Nijimusi, due out January 17th.

Listen to first single "kawasemi Ah"

Nijimusi sees OOIOO take their music back to the roots of being a four-piece band. The album was recorded mainly using a conventional rock ensemble of two guitars, bass, and drums, though with OOIOO approaching their instruments simply as “objects that make sounds”, taking a wildly inventive approach to their art and accessing the raw, primitive power of punk.

Created by illustrator Caleb Wood, the video for "Blow to the Head" perfectly captures the track's relentless energy and technicolor sonics, pummelling drums and churning bass riffing mirrored in Wood's psychedelic visuals.

"Blow to the Head" is taken from Lightning Bolt's new album Sonic Citadel, available to stream and buy now.

With just over a week to go until the release of their new album Blossoms on October 11th, the groundbreaking electronic duo have shared new single "Blade"; a rare moment of bliss amidst the album's dissonant sonics.
