Keiji Haino & SUMAC ~ American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous To Look At Face On
There’s perhaps a common thread to the overtly poetic names of the tracks in Keiji Haino & SUMAC’s collaboration, a thread that intertwines anger and passion in that characteristically playful Haino way, in which a measure of silliness opens up

Folklore Tapes ~ Calendar Customs Box Set
In the digital era, it’s harder than ever to find physical releases that work wonderfully as gifts. There are plenty of great LPs, tapes and discs around, but they lack that sense of wow. Folklore Tapes has been bucking the trend

Ghost Flute & Dice ~ Kropsbygning
One pauses for a moment, uncertain how to proceed. Tentatively, gingerly, one begins to unfold the flaps of the CD cover, and is rewarded with three-dimensional cut-outs. The Danish word kropsbygning means shape, structure or spacial arrangement, and the cover is a physical
