Matmos has always been a singular entity within the pantheon of experimental music; the main differentiator being that their sound is completely accessible. A partnership with a label like Thrill Jockey certainly isn’t going to diminish their unique brand of left-field pop music. The first sign of life after nearly 5 years of hibernation came [...]

2013 REPRESS! If you haven’t picked this up yet, please do. Nicolas Jaar makes some of the best electronic music around, and it all sounds absolutely buttery on vinyl. You can scoop the 2013 repress right now at beta.forcedexposure.com. The last few years have been really exciting for electronic music. New genres have formed, fresh [...]

Spectrum Spools has definitely blossomed into one of the coolest labels on the planet, this after just a short year or so of existence. Their newest release, Three Legged Race’s “Persuasive Barrier”, only further solidifies their evident commitment to originality and experimentation. TLR is the moniker of Robert Beatty, founder of the noise band Hair Police. His new album [...]

Touch has been one of our favorite labels for quite some time (though we’re about 27 years late to the party), so we were pretty ecstatic about this new compilation celebrating some of their most notable artists. “Touch: 30 Years and Counting” offers brand new, exclusive tracks by Touch 33, Fennesz, Bruce Gilbert, Rosy Parlane, [...]

You may notice that we’ve begun covering less and less ambient/drone releases. We feel the marketplace got a bit full there for awhile, and we just couldn’t keep up. However, in the stack of records around here, a few are so great that they demand coverage. One is Tor Lundvall’s “The Shipyard”. It’s as beautiful [...]

Today is my attempt to catch up on a few great releases that we’ve been sent and, for one reason or another, haven’t covered. Tom Recchion’s “Proscenium”, released by Elevator Bath, is a beautiful piece of ambient/drone that was originally created for Janie Geiser’s play, “Invisible Glass”. Recchion is a bona fide experimental music mainstay, [...]

UPDATE: This is available at forcedexposure.com bleep.com right now. It’s very likely that this won’t last long. We’re super happy to be the first place to announce Mondo’s next LP, Fabio Frizzi’s stunning soundtrack for Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond. Considered one of the greatest horror soundtracks of the 80′s, Frizzi’s work here is bold, dynamic, [...]

Wow, more great music born from the experimental drone underground, being made available to the masses on the truest and purest analogue format. Golden Retriever continue to be one of the most exciting musical groups around, in any genre, thanks to their fairly singular noise synthesis. We seriously love this band. The new LP comes [...]

Previously released on cassette and CD-R, Silent Land Time Machine’s most recent EP has finally made it to vinyl. This new material is definitely more experimental than his last album (which we were obsessed with), but sometimes it takes a more abstract approach to attain even higher peaks at points. Experimental music doesn’t get much [...]

Wow, today is like a dream come true. William Cody Watson and High Aura’d, both Sweat Lodge Guru alumni, have new vinyl full-lengths out on Bathetic. Watson’s “Bill Murray” represents his deepest, most focused work yet, while High Aura’d proves his career is just getting started with “Sanguine Futures”. Hugely recommended all around, don’t sleep.
