The piece captures the duo's enigmatic blend of percussive precision and squelching atmospheres and warped hardcore, Roberts hurling inhuman howls over a propulsive frenzy.

Man With The Magic Soap is available to preorder now, including the super limited-edition comic and CD version, featuring suitably psychedelic illustrations by George Addy.

Following acclaimed releases for Yves Tumor's Grooming imprint and Nicholas Jaar's Other People and a more recent collection of breathtaking piano studies for Thrill Jockey, British composer John Bence announces his debut full-length album Archangels.

The new album sees Bence fully come into his own as a composer, deftly threading together gauzy electronic atmospheres, brooding orchestral passages and minimalist piano meditations; revealing new surprises at every twist and turn.

First single "Raphael, Archangel of Tiphareth" vaporizes the composer’s orchestral arrangements and haunting vocals into airy, shapeshifting soundscapes, opening up a space for reflection and healing.

Archangels is available to preorder now on limited-edition red vinyl.

Preorder the white LP now

The duo's debut as YoshimiOizumikiYoshiduO finds YoshimiO using the piano as her primary instrument for the first time since her youth, with fractured melodies and her singular vocal acrobatics bent, stretched and mutated by IzumikiYoshi’s modular synthesizer into cascades of brightly colored waves and dotted constellations of sound.

Listen to first single "mini yO" now

First single "mini yO" is a perfect introduction to the pair's unique soundworld, Yoshimio's hypnotic piano figures navigating vaporous electronic atmospheres, as her vocals blossom into ever-more psychedelic shapes.

More extremely exciting news for you this week - following their recent signing to Thrill Jockey, BIG|BRAVE have announced their new album nature morte, out on Feb. 24th, 2023. 

The album is available to preorder now on limited-edition pink vinyl, and we also have some exclusive hoodie designs (the band's first!) up on the store, created by the band's own Robin Wattie. 

Along with the album's announcement, the band release debut single "carvers, farriers and knaves," one of the most relentless and bracing pieces in the band's oeuvre. Guitarist Mathieu Ball's soaring lines and Wattie's voice twist atop drummer Tasy Hudson’s bouldering percussion to create a singularly imposing terrain.

nature morte follows the band's acclaimed collaborative release with labelmates The Body, Leaving None With Small Birds, and draws inspiration from those recording sessions, creating stories that, like many folk tales, are at once specific and universal.

Ahead of the release of his new album Is It Going To Get Any Deeper Than This?, out Oct. 21st, Drew Daniel has shared the sensuous, ecstatic new video for "La Joie Devant La Mort", directed by Tom Borax.

Taking a sentence by philosopher and erotica author Georges Bataille (“once more our steps lead us / into the forest and into the night / in search / of joy / before death”), Daniel quite literally takes us out in search of joy, though Baltimore's cruising grounds from the woods to the dancefloor of the city's long-running queer club Gallery One. Jamie Stewart's (Xiu Xiu) haunting vocals narrates the journey, with Daniel and friends' rapturous moves evoking not just the exuberance of dancing but the importance of queer spaces for building community and healing.

Is It Going To Get Any Deeper Than This? is available to preorder now on deluxe translucent green 2xLP, with gorgeous artwork by Robert Beatty.
