James Bangura
Shadow Boxing EP

20 year anniversary editions. 2xLP black vinyl.

Repress of classic Sistrum release from 2016 ft. Patrice Scott, Reggie Dokes, Kai Alce, and Eric Cloutier.

10 previously unreleased balearic soul instrumentals rescued from the late fashion photographer-guitarist’s Paris Tapes (1986-1997). Naïve melodies that chart a missing link between Vini Reilly’s ventures into electronica and Booker T, sounding like sun-warped takes on wordless, fractured non-hits from his heroes The Beach Boys.Includes 4-page booklet of liner notes and photography.

Knotpop is a lost album of deviant new wave San Fransisco duo IXNA. Like Brian Eno and The Flying Lizards, the album is a sideways and inverted take on pop music. Jay Cloidt and Marina La Palma were students of David Behrman and Robert Ashley at Mills College, inspired by their infamously irreverent faculty to nudge the avant-garde out of its stuffy tweed and into something more exciting, something clad in denim & leather. Recorded at the Center For Contemporary Music at Mills in 1981, the album combines Cloidt's studio wizardry, sampling abilities and vibrant bass with La Palma’s expressive vocals, and love of made-up and invented languages (Esperanto). IXNA only released one 7" during that time, featuring two songs from this unrealised album, which became sought after over the decades. Mastered from the original reels.Knotpop by IXNA

ACE deep, moody, percussive, techno EP. Sparse, rolling, minimal percussive tracks, dubbed out and primed for soundsystems. Tip!
