TAPE - PRELUDES (10")
The return of Swedish trio Tape has been reassuringly slow motion. They've always moved at their own pace, these three peripatetic musicians - brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling, and companion Tomas Hallonsten - though its been over a decade since their last full-length, 2014's 'Casino.' Not a disappearing act, rather a break for consideration, time to explore other avenues of creativity, perhaps. But their reappearance, with the 'Refrains' 10", was one of 2023's most encouraging moments; doubly so, as it was proof they'd not lost their way, at all, in the intervening nine years. The Tape modus operandi is one of deceptive simplicity and artful innocence. On 'Preludes,' a typically right, one-word Tape title, this means five wordless songs that move between fully fleshed out, lovingly tended folk threnodies - the beautiful opener, 'Lights Out,' that spins webs via simple, hypnotically repeating guitar - and textural conceits that hover, appealingly, in a kind of no-place. 'Naukluft Plateau' is lovingly dappled, with ruminative piano adrift on a cascading tonal waterfall. Then, feather-fall strums of guitar meet huffing harmonium and electronic scrum on the brief 'Golden Gain.' Is there a more perfect song title for Tape than 'Tangential Thoughts?' It sums up the way their music, nimble and dainty but also carefully tended, lends itself to the reverie, the meander, the anfractuous. The madeleine-like power of this songs two-chord figure allows the music to take flight: rustling organ, oscillating cymbal, droplets of percussion, a spinney of sound. And 'Preludes' slips away 'On The Accordeon Bus:' there's something lovely about the way that title collapses transit, articulation and bellows, reflected in the see-sawing sway and glitch-like rivulets of sound that course through the song. So, 'Preludes,' then - alive to the moment, both gentle and sturdy. A copse of tone, and a most gorgeous wool-gathering. Edition of 250 copies with insert.

FERNANDEZ SUAREZ, EVA -& THOMAS BARRIERE- - ADELA
A debut that is not a debut: the first collaboration of Eva Fernández Suárez and Thomas Barrière. In late 2016, Eva lost her mother, Adela. That loss looms large over the album named after her. While the grief is palpable on the record, there's so much more than sorrow shaping this work. At times, you'll hear elements of hope and joy emerge - even if you don't understand the Spanish language in which the texts are sung. Eva's love for ancient music is quite literal here - you'll hear music that transcends generations, not just from mother to daughter but echoing across centuries. As a solo singer, Eva's work is firmly rooted in classic folk-inspired material, more specifically in the bleak, bare-bones, and stripped-down kind.
The LP is beautifully presented in a full-color sleeve, with a cover photo by Eric Poitevin, and comes with a download coupon. The album is co-released by Morc Records and their friends at Three:Four Records from Switzerland. Recommended if you like:
Soccer Committee, Iditarod, Hellvete, Hala Strana, Hildegard von Bingen.

CONAN - VIOLENCE DIMENSION (WHITE/YELLOW/PURPLE)
2025 album of the doom sludge legends Conan! "'Violence Dimension' is our 7th full length release. We have come quite a distance in time and space since we released 'Horseback' in 2010. One thing that binds us all is violence, be that within a video game, or in a movie or on the daily news. Violence affects our daily life, perhaps more than love or kindness ever will. We are all bound by death, whether we like it or not. This release explores the hinterland between being scared to live and being scared to die, and punches holes in the idea that we must live our life by one set of rules.

UNGRAVEN - (BLACK) HOLLOWS MADE HOMES IN THEIR SUNKEN CH
2025 album of the psychedelic doom drone duo Ungraven, featuring members of Conan. 'Hollows Made Homes In Their Sunken Cheeks' came into existence as a result of Jon's wishes to take the Ungraven sound somewhere other than a standard 'rock band' setup. Moving away from the traditional 'drums/bass/guitar' structure has allowed Ungraven to experiment further with both sound and composition. 'Hollows...' Is an experiment in sonics and allows both Davis and Perry to perform a sickening sonic duet as their respective instruments carve a universe shaped hole in your consciousness. Inspired by the duo's past collaborations on Conan tracks such as 'Older Than Earth' and 'Grief Sequence' as well as artists such as Tangerine Dream, Circle, Zombi and Harold Budd. 'Hollows...' is a combination of composed and improvised elements, constructed remotely from their bases in England and Denmark. The addition of Perry's synth, organ and piano to Davis's slab like 6 string delivery has produced two epics that are both introspective and pummelling at the same time. Fall untethered into a bleak and expansive soundscape of psychedelic terror, experience a new chapter in Ungraven's tome of tone.

VON BALTHAZAR, TROY - ALOHA MEANS GOODBYE (BLACK)
A double comeback for Chokebore's Hawaiian frontman Troy Von Balthazar, who follows up the reissue of the iconic Black Black with a soothing seventh solo album. Recorded over the course of 2024 in autarky, in his Angoulême home studio, Aloha Means Goodbye is the modest, alleviating work of an artist who has rebuilt himself through his art.
Often more acoustic than electric, wandering between light and shadow, these twelve tracks are adorned with melancholy trappings but exude a comforting warmth, like a balm for flayed souls.

Embodying the essence of her unique style, it delivers songs where intensity is sometimes embodied in electric rock blazes, sometimes in heartrending ballads, adorned with choirs and strings, the warm sound of a Wurlitzer, a guitar or a piano. Haunted by illness and bereavement, produced in solitude, this album is bursting with energy, light and love.

VARIOUS - ROOTS ROCKING ZIMBABWE (2LP)
In 1972 black people rarely featured in the country's white-owned official newspapers, unless, perhaps, they were a dead "terrorist." However, Dr Footswitch's performance prompted The Rhodesia Herald to print the picture of their guitar player, Manu Kambani, on the front page along with the screaming sentence "Jimi Hendrix is dead but Manu is alive". With his ability to mimic the mesmerising antics of Jimi Hendrix Manu had impressed everybody and the editor of the paper couldn't resist printing the story. Heavy criticism from conservative whites followed, accusing the Herald of "lowering the standards." But the coverage turned Manu into an emblematic figure in Harare, one of Salisbury's oldest townships, and would influence many youngsters to form their own musical groups. Those bands began fusing rock music, Congolese rumba, South African mbaqanga, soul and traditional beats into an underground music movement that would shape the future of Zimbabwean sound and challenge the colonial establishment. All the commotion started drawing interest from South Africa's industry players and a good number of Rhodesian bands -
including The Great Sounds, MD Rhythm Success, Afrique 73, The Hitch-Hikers, The Impossibles and the O.K Success - had
managed to get one-off recording deals with Gallo Record on the strength of their live performances. But for some reason the
South African giant didn't totally capitalise on the momentum and that vacuum was filled in 1974 by the Teal Record Company
who had decided to beef up their Rhodesian subsidiary. Crispen Matema, a prolific drummer with a love for traditional music,
was hired to oversee the program. Driving across the country in his Peugeot 504, Matema scouted undiscovered talent, organised live music contests, and booked a small studio in downtown Salisbury. Within a year, he had recorded fantastic bands such The Baked Beans, Blacks Unlimited, New Tutenkhamen, The Acid Band, Echoes Ltd, Gypsy Caravan and many others. To release this flood of music, Teal launched several new imprints, including Afro Soul, Afro Pop, and Shungu. Not to be outdone, Gallo Records finally sent the legendary sax jive producer West Nkosi to Rhodesia to scout for emerging talent. A chance recommendation led him to the Jamaica Inn Hotel, where he encountered The Green Arrows led by the carismatic Zexie Manatsa. By Christmas 1974, their single 'Chipo Chiroorwa' had sold over 25,000 copies, making them the first Rhodesian band to earn a gold disc. In November 1975 Nkosi arranged for another session for The Green Arrows at the Film Project Studios to record the fuzz-drenched 'Towering Inferno,' a tribute to Paul Newman and the crystalline guitar instrumental 'No Delay,' a homage to Steve McQueen. In 1976 the liberation war is raging when Teal began immortalising Thomas Mapfumo on 1/4inch tape. Thomas had just joined forces with the Black Unlimited and The Acid Band and had started modernising traditional songs to great effect. That revolutionary style deeply rooted in Shona culture known as Chimurenga unified all generations under the banner of the liberation struggle. Zexie Manatsa and Thomas Mapfumo massive popularity attracted the attention of the PATU (Police Anti-Terrorist Unit) who didn't like the massive crowds these artists were attracting. As a result Both Manatsa and Mapfumo were arrested and imprisoned.
Despite the arrests and the increasing scrutiny from the Rhodesian authorities, the music refused to be silenced. If anything, the repression only strengthened the resolve of Zimbabwean artists such as the enigmatic Tineyi Chikupo, who continued to compose songs that carried the hopes and struggles of the people. By the time Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, the musicians who had risked everything to give their people a voice emerged as national heroes. The 25 songs presented in this project showcase the birth of the modern music industry in Zimbabwe and the explosion of creativity bands of the 1970s and '80s delivered is endlessly rewarding. It was a time of wild experimentation before established genres had crystallised. Rock, rumba, soul and traditional grooves all collide beautifully in this collection, which also includes never-before-released tracks by Thomas Mapfumo, Oliver Mtukudzi and many other Zimbabwean artists! Gatefold double LP pressed on 140g virgin vinyl comes with a full color 20-pages booklet.

By Christmas 1974, their single 'Chipo Chiroorwa' had sold over 25,000 copies, making them the first Rhodesian band to earn a gold disc. In November 1975 Nkosi arranged for another session for The Green Arrows at the Film Project Studios to record the fuzz-drenched 'Towering Inferno,' a tribute to Paul Newman and the crystalline guitar instrumental 'No Delay,' a homage to Steve McQueen. In 1976 the liberation war is raging when Teal began immortalising Thomas Mapfumo on 1/4inch tape. Thomas had just joined forces with the Black Unlimited and The Acid Band and had started modernising traditional songs to great effect. That revolutionary style deeply rooted in Shona culture known as Chimurenga unified all generations under the banner of the liberation struggle. Zexie Manatsa and Thomas Mapfumo massive popularity attracted the attention of the PATU (Police Anti-Terrorist Unit) who didn't like the massive crowds these artists were attracting. As a result Both Manatsa and Mapfumo were arrested and imprisoned.
Despite the arrests and the increasing scrutiny from the Rhodesian authorities, the music refused to be silenced. If anything, the repression only strengthened the resolve of Zimbabwean artists such as the enigmatic Tineyi Chikupo, who continued to compose songs that carried the hopes and struggles of the people. By the time Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, the musicians who had risked everything to give their people a voice emerged as national heroes. The 25 songs presented in this project showcase the birth of the modern music industry in Zimbabwe and the explosion of creativity bands of the 1970s and '80s delivered is endlessly rewarding. It was a time of wild experimentation before established genres had crystallised. Rock, rumba, soul and traditional grooves all collide beautifully in this collection, which also includes never-before-released tracks by Thomas Mapfumo, Oliver Mtukudzi and many other Zimbabwean artists! CD comes with 44-pages booklet.

VIMMA - EI NOI MUUT
With their third album, 'Ei Noi Muut,' Vimma returns more powerful and dynamic than ever. While their previous works reflected on the emotional impact of global crises and environmental destruction, the band now shifts its focus to what truly matters: movement, action, and collective strength.
The album is rebellious and urgent, full of passion and intensity-yet deeply melodic and irresistibly catchy. Thematically, it addresses the climate crisis, activism, and societal change. But above all, Ei noi muut is a manifesto of community-a call to come together and find one's place in the world. "I hope this album inspires people to take the fight for change seriously-but without losing the spark of playfulness. The state of the world is serious, but you don't always have to be!" says lead singer Eeva Rajakangas. The songs were created in just three months - a creative storm that manifests in the raw energy and uncompromising honesty of the music. Violinist Pessi Jouste describes the process: "A year ago, we felt an overwhelming urge to do everything - to write, perform, and make music without hesitation. That's exactly what this album should convey: Now is not the time for doubt, but for action!"
Vimma is a seven-member collective: Eeva Rajakangas (vocals), Pessi Jouste (violin), Roope Jokinen (violin), Kalle Outila (guitar), Aino Kallio (piano), Santeri Kettu (bass), and Vilho Louhivuori (drums). Their sound is a unique blend of indie rock, pop, folk, and hip-hop, with lyrics deeply rooted in nature and activism. Their previous album, 'Tornadon Silmässä' (2023), was nominated for the Critics' Choice Award at the Emma Gala. With 'Ei Noi Muut,' Vimma is more uncompromising than ever. The album is a wake-up call-an invitation to rise, take action, and make a difference.

BARBORA XU - THE GARDEN OF OTAVA
With 'The Garden Of Otava,' Czech singer and multi-instrumentalist Barbora Xu transports us into a world of delicate sounds and natural beauty. The album, featuring renowned artists such as Tapani Rinne, Ilkka Heinonen, Asja Valcic, and Mikko H. Haapoja, blends traditional and modern elements into a unique, atmospheric soundscape. The music was created in a secluded log cabin surrounded by forests on the Finnish island of Otava, where Barbora lived for seven years. Inspired by the untouched nature, she composed her pieces during long walks. The album reflects this magical environment - an open garden that harmoniously merges with forests, meadows, and coastal shores. In the instrumental pieces 'Inhale And Exhale,' local soundscapes intertwine with the music, transporting the listener directly to this special place.
