We are nearing the end of the year and we have two amazing new releases to share with you, the new album by Stephen Steinbrink on our new imprint Sedimentary Archive and the new World Brain EP!

^{As always, if you like our music, tell your friends, share it online, support us by grabbing a physical copy. Support independent music. We love you.}

We have known Stephen for a very long time. He is one of our absolute favourite musicians, and years ago we brought him to Europe for the first time. 

All the more excited are we to finally release his music. 

The album is beautiful indie-folk / singer-songwriter music, for fans of Cass McCombs, Elliott Smith or Chris Cohen. 

Earlier this week he already shared a music video for "I'm a Swimming Pool", a flickering, colorful animation drawn by Steinbrink himself. Over the delicate interplay of piano and acoustic guitar melodies, he uses dreamlike imagery to paint a surreal picture of becoming one with a swimming pool.

We are so happy to share the new World Brain EP with you. He continues his fixation on how technology reshapes daily life, balancing romantic yearning against clear-eyed critique. On WORLD VS BRAIN that critical edge cuts sharper than before. The EP is available to stream now as well as on a 10” vinyl.

Sometimes we use our newsletters to revisit past releases that some of you might have missed. Today it’s an amazing EP by Kissen. Two and a half years on from its original release, Kissen's Homesick remains worth revisiting. The EP holds up as a complete statement, and it's still available wherever you listen.
