MARC
BARRECA
"Shadow aestethics"
Shadow
Aesthetics results from a virtual arsenal of digital and analog
sources operating in a complex system of origination, structuring,
processing and editing. The result is a moving, articulate and
complex album: music that is profoundly emotive, original, and
experimental. In every way Shadow Aesthetics reveals itself as
a culmination of decades of listening, performing and composing.

BVDUB
"Drowning in daylight"
Van
Wey debuts on Apollo with his stunning new album Drowning in Daylight
, exploring cavernous soundscapes on a grand canvas that throb
with a delicate intimacy. Classically trained in piano and violin

"Broken politics"
Following
the release of her first earth-quaking single in 4 years at the
beginning of August, counter-culture pop icon Neneh Cherry announces
her fifth solo album Broken Politics, produced in its entirety
by Four Tet. It’s a record that’s equal parts angry,
thoughtful, melancholy, and emboldening, as Cherry and her collaborators

singular and potent music.

MARIE
DAVIDSON
"Working class woman"
Marie
Davidson’s new album turns the mirror on herself. "Working
Class Woman” is the Montreal-based producer’s fourth
and most self-reflective record: it’s a document of her
state of mind, a reflection of the past year she’s spent
living in Berlin, and a comment on the stresses and strains of
operating within the spheres of dance music and club culture.

FACTORY
FLOOR
"A soundtrack for a film"
The
title of this new Factory Floor record is playfully coy. These
tracks were, indeed, initially conceived to score a film, specifically
a 90th anniversary showing of Fritz Lang’s 1927 movie Metropolis
at the London Science Museum’s IMAX screen. A Soundtrack
For A Film is a hugely ambitious work, clocking in at around 150
minutes and filled with ideas.

FATIMA
"And yet it's all love"
It's
been four years since Eglo Records' Fatima released 2014's Blue
Note-approved, critically acclaimed debut Yellow Memories. This
September, the London- via -Stockholm, Sweden songstress, returns
with her second album, And Yet It's All Love, an emotional yet

TIM
HECKER
"Konoyo"
The
Canadian’s 9th solo release Konoyo, like its predecessor,
Love Streams [2016] also finds Hecker drawn to acoustic instruments
and collaboration with a larger ensemble or collective, this time
working with the Tokyo Gakuso ensemble after commanding an Icelandic
choir on his previous album. However, the results here have a
different purpose, swapping out ecstatic density for an intently
refined and spacious approach, allowing his processed sources
to ring out beautifully un/true in a sort of parallel dimensional
harmonic spectrum.

LAWRENCE
"Illusion"
Lawrence
makes a full-length return to his own Dial label with Illusions.
Following two critically-acclaimed albums for Mule Musiq, the
follow-up to 2016's Yoyogi Park captures the Berlin-based artist,
DJ and label-owner at home in a suitably deep landscape of sound.
Throughout, his involving and human approach to electronic music
feels more inviting and more necessary than ever.

with some further production in LA, the album was recorded with
Anna's band - Mally Harpaz on various instruments and Alex Thomas
on drums - with the addition of Adrian Utley from Portishead on
keys and Martyn Casey from The Bad Seeds on bass. It has a new

maestro, vocalist, composer, producer, arranger and astral traveller
Brandon Coleman. A regular fixture in the Kamasi Washington band,
wylin’ out on the keys or wielding his keytar, he is introduced
onstage at gigs as Professor Boogie by his longtime friend and
collaborator. Resistance represents a new chapter in the Funk
dynasty that spans George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic and Zapp
through to Dr. Dre, DJ Quik and Dam Funk as the Los Angeles resident
salutes his musical heroes - Herbie Hancock, Peter Frampton, Roger
Troutman - and honours their ethos of freedom and experimentation
in his search for Funk’s future.

SARAH
DAVACHI
"Gave in rest"
“I’ve
always been a pretty solitary person, but that summer I discovered
quiet moments to be increasingly valuable,” says Davachi.
“I became engaged in private practices of rest and rumination,
almost to the point of ritual.” Though not religious, she
sought ecclesiastic environments, sitting for hours in muted spaces
and listened to how church instruments augmented them –
their pipe organs, their bells, their choral voices – and
resolved to “tap into that way of listening.”

GORGUN
"Ecce homo"
Ecce
Homo explores the lighter and darker shades of the human psyche,
behaviour and existence, and humanity's ability to create beauty
and destruction. What lies in the essence of such complexity has
become a core idea for the album, while Gorgun seeks to figure
out if there is a true meaning to being human, and human being.

"Veriditas"
Kenniff
has housed dozens of ambient releases under the name Helios since
2004, alongside post-classical output as Goldmund, shoegaze pop
with his wife Hollie as Mint Julep, and commissions for film and
television. It is a reliably transportive body of work that's
earned Kenniff a cult following, and a genuine modesty that’s
kept him on the fringes, right where he prefers, in the dark.

Ruth Rundle has kept up a hectic schedule, carving out a huge
swath of sonic real estate both as a solo artist and with her
shoegaze outfit Marriages, she also joined stalwart post-metal
instrumentalists Red Sparowes in 2011. The follow-up to 2016's
cathartic Marked for Death, On Dark Horses continues to pick at
the darkness within, but with significantly more empathy than

"Bimini twist"
Alison
Statton & Spike aren't simply back with their first album
in more than two decades, but have redefined their long-running
musical partnership with a collection of songs matching the diversity
of Weekend's classic "La Varieté" with a charm
and innocence that reflects the fact that every note of this album
was performed by the two of them alone, with no help from outside
musicians, engineers or any other living soul. The advent of technology
has allowed for these songs to be recorded at home and in comfort,
revealing the most personal and charming collection of songs in
their careers.

TASH
SULTANA
"Flow state"
Tash
Sultana is a dynamic young artist who has commanded world attention
since homemade videos of Tash jamming went viral. A true virtuoso,
Tash was soon selling out massive theaters globally and playing
at the world s biggest festivals - no mean feat for an artist
who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom.
Since Tash s grandfather gifted a guitar at the age of three,
the self-taught artist quickly developed a unique style that has
people lining up to see. The virtuosic playing of over 18 instruments,
vocals that shine with a magical quality and the natural gift
for melody that Tash possesses needs to be seen to be believed.

Jack
Tatum understands this balance, and through a decade making music
as Wild Nothing he has learned to embrace both sides of that dynamic
ut perhaps never as distinctly as on Indigo, the fourth Wild Nothing
album. On one hand, it is a return to the fresh, transcendent
sweep of his debut, 2010’s Gemini and on the other, a culmination
of heights reached, paths traveled, and lessons learned while
creating the follow-ups, Nocturne and Life of Pause.

In

Hauschildt has designed grids and panoramas of sound across multiple
releases through the rise and dissolution of his former band,
Emeralds, an American touchstone of 2000s home-recorded psychedelic
noise music. Dissolvi, the artist’s first full-length with
Ghostly International, engages sublimation from an ontological
perspective: by dissociating the self.

INNOCENCE
MISSION
"Sun on the square"
Karen
Peris' gift for melodic subtlety manifests itself on a number
of highlights like Green Bus and the more expansive Shadow of
the Pines, two songs that dance nimbly between the dark and light
places where emotions are most vulnerable. Poignant and poetic,
she builds evocative vignettes out of seemingly simple scenes,
describing with surprising richness the movements of her brother
in the dusty afternoon light of the title song. The arrangements
on these ten tracks are somewhat denser and more intricate than
on the band's previous few outings, relying on rich string arrangements,
horns, reverberating piano thrums and even a handful of clamorous
drums - All Music Guide

Dawn Joseph. The spread of styles on ‘Music For Robots’
is broad across this 14 track debut offering, from the urgent
dance grooves of Whatcha Sayin and The Night is Calling to the

KAMASI
WASHINGTON
"Heaven & earth"
“The
world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind.” This idea
inspired me to make this album Heaven & Earth. The reality
we experience is a mere creation of our consciousness, but our
consciousness creates this reality based on those very same experiences.
We are simultaneously the creators of our personal universe and
creations of our personal universe. The Earth side of this album
represents the world as I see it outwardly, the world that I am
a part of. The Heaven side of this album represents the world
as I see it inwardly, the world that is a part of me. Who I am
and the choices I make lie somewhere in between.” Kamasi

RIP
RIG + PANIC
"God"
Named after a
Roland Kirk album, Rip Rig + Panic were one of the most exciting
bandsof the 1980s, fusing funk, jazz, punk and world music influences
into a unique whole. With lead singer Neneh Cherry, the band
recorded three albums for Virgin Records which have never been
legitimately available on Cd. All three LPs are now remastered
from the original master tapes with a raft of bonus tracks taken
from non-album singles. Original band members Gareth Sager (ex-Pop
Group) and Mark Springer are involved with these releases, with
the blessing of Neneh Cherry and (current PiL) drummer Bruce
Smith.

ANNETTE
PEACOCK
"I'm the one"
In 2010 Annette
Peacock quietly reissued her 1972 album I'm The One on CD via
her own Ironic label. It was only available via her site or
CDBaby, but now I'm The One is being given a full reissue shakedown
by Light In The Attic. Peacock
collaborated with Salvador Dali, bought a Moog direct from Robert
Moog, was confidant to Timothy Leary, and turned down an offer
to tour with David Bowie, telling him to buy his own synthesizer.

THE
POP GROUP
"For how much longer do we tolerate
mass murder?"
Reissue of The
Pop Group’s ‘For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate
Mass Murder’ - one of the most challenging records of
the post-punk era. Upon its release in 1980, For How Much Longer
received mixed reviews, with publications at the center of post-punk
discourse (such as the NME) dismissing its agit-prop didacticism
in favor of the fevered mysticism of the group's debut album,
Y.

LIZZY
MERCIER DESCLOUX
"One for the soul"
Remastered from
original tapes. Housed in heavyweight, tip on-style gatefold
with essay by Vivian Goldman and download code including 2 bonus
tracks “By the time poet, singer-songwriter, and artist
Lizzy Mercier Descloux recorded 1984’s Zulu Rock, she’d
marked herself out as both a globe trotter with more passport
stamps than Tintin and a musical innovator whose loose, arty
spirit could be applied to styles as varied as no wave, Bavarian
oompa and Soweto jive.

VIVIEN
GOLDMAN
"Resolutionary (Songs 1979-1982)"
Vivien Goldman
went from being a musical participant of the early-'80s London-New
York fusion of dub, post-punk, reggae, hip-hop and African sounds
to a keen, informative critic and professor of those genres
in general. This excellent album is the first collection of
Goldman's brief yet vibrant musical explorations. Included among
the various talents are members of the Slits, PiL, the Raincoats,
Robert Wyatt, Steve Beresford, David Toop, and Adrian Sherwood.
These tracks combine a pop sensibility with the avant-dub deconstructionist
mindset that lends her work that rare and special mix of accessibility
and experimentation.

SECTION
25
"Always now"
Factory Benelux
presents a deluxe double disc edition of Always Now, the debut
album by cult Factory Records group Section 25, produced by
legendary sonic architect Martin Hannett in 1981. Recorded as
a trio at Pink Floyd's Britannia Row studio in London, Always
Now combined austere post-punk rhythms with elements of Can,
Krautrock and modern psychedelia. Key tracks include non-albums
singles Charnel Ground, Je Veux Ton Amour and Girls Don’t
Count. This new Factory Benelux 2xCD edition is housed in a
miniature version of the folding pochette wallet designed by
Peter Saville - famously one of the most expensive sleeves produced
by Factory.
