Audiopile Review: After successfully co-running Peak Oil, as well as the recently debuted False Aralia label, the razor-sharp curatorial ear of Brian Foote unveils his first imprint as sole proprietor, simply titled FO, rescuing a 2023 CDr release by London trio Rest Symbol from hopeless obscurity as his first order...

Audiopile Review: Shop fave Anthony Naples returns with his sixth long player, marking somewhat of a departure from the effervescent breaks and sci-fi-tinted downtempo he’s been refining on future classics like Orbs, Chameleon or Take Me With You. But that run of five LPs is only one side of the...
$39.99
Audiopile Review: Three releases in, and the Pin catalogue has been a love letter to both minimal and dub techno. Segmenting the cavernous and hypnotic qualities associated with the latter while formulating compositions akin to the former, SnPLO craft meticulous, hypnotic sequences but maintain a dubbed-out rigidity. The A-side is...

Audiopile Review: Vancouver’s own Scott Morgan, aka Loscil, has amassed a large, varied discography since his 2001 debut for Kranky. That album, ‘Triple Point’, announced a major new talent, and a distinctive new voice, in electronic music. Previously, Morgan had been best known as the drummer in Destroyer. But ‘Triple...

Audiopile Review: Khotin returns to his own imprint for a mini-album that stands as the perfect summation of his now decade-long project, touching on a bit of everything that have made his albums so crucial for anyone invested in contemporary electronic music. Titled Peace Portal, Khotin gives a not so...

Audiopile Review: Every great artist has a singular moment when they produce something unique and unrepeatable. Arthur Russell clearly knew this, as he never even tried to recapture the magic unleashed by 1987’s ‘World of Echo’. Using voice and processed cello, Russell pulled nine-dimensional song structures from that ethereal zone...
$44.99
Audiopile Review: After months of waiting patiently, we’ve finally got copies of CINE, last year’s collab between Cavalier & Child Actor issued on Backwoodz. If you’ve been tracking the Backwoodz family tree, both of these names ought to be familiar to you at this point—Cavalier’s been a frequent scene stealer...

Audiopile Review: By now, you must know how much we love Seefeel. Sitting pretty at the intersection of shoegaze and IDM, Seefeel is a 90s touchstone for true heads, and surely a dream come true for newcomers. In case you happen to be one of those newcomers, we’ll mention that...
$32.99
Audiopile Review: One of two new voyages from the Sam Gendel multiverse lands on these here shores, with the saxophonist collaborating here alongside longtime pal Benny Bock and Norwegian experimentalist Hans Kjorstad. Like so much of Gendel’s prodigious output, Dream Trio captures a spontaneous exchange between kindred spirits, the trio...
$39.99
Audiopile Review: A long out of print and important piece from Brannten Schnüre’s mid-period gets another chance to cast its eerie glow. 2017’s Muschelsammlung might be considered the last of their albums before the underground finally caught up to them, and it’s also one of the more accessible points of...
$32.99
Audiopile Review: After years of dipping and out of the LA jazz scene, International Anthem finally link up with Sam Wilkes, a connection that felt all but inevitable considering their shared visions of genre blurring that begins with jazz but always end in uncharted terrain....
$36.99
Audiopile Review: NYC’s Incienso kick off 2025 with an absolute showstopper after a fairly quiet 2024, though their critically acclaimed release from Huerco S’ Loidis guise more than made up for their quiet year. As they’ve consistently done, Incienso elevate a new talent, this time around offering up the debut...
$44.99
Audiopile Review: NYC-based producer X Or Size orbits the shop for a third time with his newest release, clinching his third ROTW ring and reaching rarified air here at the shop (your commemorative plaque awaits you). If you’ve missed our previous gushings, X Or Size is the pseudonym of Josiah...
$74.99
Audiopile Review: A FLAC-only release dropped via an eye-gouging, anachronistic Geocities site becoming one of the most buzzed about albums of 2024? Certainly didn’t see that coming. Perhaps our shortsightedness is due to our humble proximity to the project’s earliest days—two of Patrick Flegel’s earliest releases as Cindy Lee came...
$36.99
Audiopile Review: Hackney-based MC, poet and artist John Glacier has been on a perpetual upswing since her initial appearance on a 2019 dreamcastmoe mixtape, eventually going on to drop show-stopping contributions to releases from Dean Blunt, Jamie XX and her longtime cohort Vegyn.

Audiopile Review: After a few years laying low, long-running French drone-rockers France return to the physical format with a two-sided behemoth that captures their legendary live energy like never before.

Audiopile Review: Peak Oil follow up their stunner from Wrecked Lightship earlier this year, dropping another doozy with this late ’24 contender from Lifted, the out-rock Baltimore collective that has now been whittled down to Andrew Field-Pickering (aka Max D, Dolo Percussion) and Matt Papich (Co La). Much like their...

Audiopile Review: Ultraääni Records issues two new records in the final stretch of 2024, marking a fairly prolific finale to one of the busier years for the Helsinki-based out-jazz imprint.

$36.99

Audiopile Review: Arriving only a few months after his release of sunset improvisations with Craig Weinrib (drums) and Dylan Day (guitar), Sam Wilkes returns with those two alongside Chris Fishman (Moog) and Thom Gill (guitar/keys) for a live album that expands on the ambient-jazz and drifting Americana deployed earlier this...
$36.99
Audiopile Review: We Are Busy Bodies answer our pleas to have MIDI Janitor’s Holy To Dogs cassette pressed to vinyl, arriving a mere six months after it’s initial appearance. A Christmas miracle, some may say. But Holy To Dogs was far too good to be left out of print and...
$69.99
Audiopile Review: The turn of the century was a rebirth period for underground hip-hop. The flurry of major label distributed independent labels and various subsidiaries that popped up through the ‘90s had mostly died off as hip-hop moved into the mainstream, the majors focusing more and more on sure shots...
$34.99
Audiopile Review: What’s likely to be the final release this year from Blod (but who knows!), the decade-long project from Sweden’s Gustaf Dicksson, is also one of the more perplexingly straight forward that we’ve encountered, particularly after the abstracted tape crunching collab with Shadow Pattern released just prior. Gathering a...
$36.99
Audiopile Review: With a helping hand from Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft), Aiden Ayers, fellow Pender Street Stepper Liam Butler and official Mood Hut saxophonist Linda Fox, Jack J doubles down on the sun-kissed sophisticated pop of his debut with a followup that just might best it. Across Blue Desert...

Audiopile Review: Melbourne’s CS + Kreme quickly established one-to-watch status. The duo’s 2020 LP, ‘Snoopy’, had real ‘what is this even?’ appeal. It was the type of record that provokes a strong but confused reaction. Is this the kind of music I like? Is it ambient IDM? Old school post-rock?...
$59.99
Audiopile Review: Malmö, Sweden-based producer Golden Ivy (Ivar Lantz) has his two beloved LPs for the Malmö Inre imprint repressed for the first time since their initial limited appearances a half decade back.

Audiopile Review: After the runaway success of 2023’s Maps, the second collaboration between billy woods and Kenny Segal, Backwoodz dips into the extensive back catalog of woods and reissues one of his most sought after LPs, 2019’s Hiding Places (originals were going for about $400!). While Maps was a rare...

Audiopile Review: Fresh off The Doober, his newest collaborative effort with longtime pal Sam Gendel (also in this week), Sam Wilkes forges a new trio alongside drummer Craig Weinrib and guitarist Dylan Day.

$36.99
Audiopile Review: Läuten der Seele, the solo project of Brannten Schnüre’s Christian Schoppik, closes out his trilogy and returns to Hands in the Dark after issuing the second installment of the series via World of Echo just last year. Somewhat oddly, we suppose, it’s the most accessible piece of the...

Audiopile Review: Behold the much-anticipated return of spiritual jazz maestro and Warp Records recording artist Nala Sinephro. More anticipated than you may realize. You know how it is: a record blows up and everyone’s excited. Then they move on to the next thing. But if a record is seriously good,...

Audiopile Review: Seefeel is a band that’s been legendary across multiple genres. Emerging from the MBV-inspired dreampop scene, Seefeel became a defining act of the OG UK post-rock movement. Early releases on Too Pure melded deliriously looping guitars, incoherently cooing vocals, and electronically enhanced percussion. Debut LP ‘Quique’ encompassed everything...

Audiopile Review: Gerard Hanson’s E.R.P. moniker seems to have supplanted his Convextion project, the latter of which hasn’t been seen since 2016 when he dropped the incredible 2845, a high watermark of his sci-fi inflected brand of deep techno. Though the E.R.P. guise has been in use since Hanson’s initial...

Audiopile Review: Recently, discussing a reissue of Belong’s 2011 ambient-pop classic ‘Common Era’, we also teased a new LP. We called it an album-of-the-year-contender. Well, now we have ‘Realistic IX’ in stock and, while time will tell regarding the AOTY thing, it’s certainly our record of the week. New Orleans-based...

Audiopile Review: Comprised of the same group of musicians behind last year’s Gala!, Misha Panfilov’s Septet regroup for a luxurious sprawl on their new release for Funk Night.
