It’s not Tuesday, but in case you did not read the title, Land of Decay is currently offering 30% off of all of their tape prices! This is the label run by the Locrian boys, so you know their taste is impeccable, and I seriously recommend that you just add every single tape to your [...]

At long, long last – the vinyl pressing of A Winged Victory For The Sullen is available to purchase. As with any Stars of the Lid related project, this music is achingly, painfully beautiful. Dustin O’Halloran & Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie bring the slow-mo orchestral drama with brainwash guitar accompaniment. Perfect ambient from people who know [...]

As promised, Parasitic Records is, indeed, done with tour and it looks like they weren’t quite done with 2011 yet – you can now order the 2xLP version of the Fo(u)r Burials compilation featuring four sides from four premium bands, two of which have released the best doom albums of the past year (you can [...]

Classic sunn 0))) material reissued on vinyl. As usual, there is an exclusive color in the SL webshop, and also an option to purchase this 2xLP along with the recently released Nurse With Wound collaboration 2xLP from Editions Mego / Ideologic Organ.

Originally recorded eight years ago, “4/25/03″ is an interesting time-capsule that hints at where drone/psychedelic music would go in the coming years. It sounds like early, primitive recordings by Barn Owl or Grails, which is [...]

I’m not really sure how or why, but Polish Michael Jacaszek was instrumental in leading both Spencer and I into the drone/ambient/experimental scene. The delicate, beautiful textures he creates work as the perfect entry point for newcomers, there is simply no way one could not like this stuff. His newest album on Ghostly is a [...]

For her new material, Alicia Merz has taken her Birds of Passage moniker deeper and darker than it’s ever gone before. Taking heavy instrumental influence from drone, ambient, and field recordings, Merz is able to craft these minimal soundscapes into stunningly beautiful outsider-folk/pop masterpieces. The full-length is amazing, the 10″ EP contains a collaboration with [...]

After dropping one of the best, if not the best drone album of 2011, Mister Tim Hecker is back with Dropped Pianos, a collection of “rough sketches” that later turned into the masterful “Ravedeath, 1972″. The piano is on full display here, and this manages to almost outshine the finished product. Damn good, heavily recommended. Stream [...]

We are more than excited to see a new LP from Ilyas Ahmed – especially on Immune, who did such a fine job with the 2xLP pressing of Between Two Skies/Towards The Night. With Endless Fire sees the artist further solidifying his position as one of the most gifted artists in the droning realms of [...]
