2013 release. Indiscreet Mirror is London-based musician and producer Alex Monk's eagerly-awaited follow-up to 2010's The Safety Machine (S-R 017LP). The album features guests Gavan Kearny (Sand Snowman), Gareth Jones, and Steve Dowle, as well as an impressive array of instruments including the Novation Bass Station, the Casio SK-1, and a 17-string Vietnamese zither. As with previous outings, Indiscreet Mirror is a somber, melancholy affair, but this time around there's a marked organic feeling driven by acoustic instruments and voice. Rife with experimentation, the album explores pastoral folk terrain, while maintaining the tuneful kosmische vibe of The Safety Machine. At its best, it combines the two worlds to impressive psychedelic effect. Screen printed sleeve in two versions on heavy white stock, housed in a heavy PVC sleeve. Edition of 200 copies on gorgeous heavy translucent white vinyl.

2010 release. Drenched in a frozen, hypnotic melancholy, The Safety Machine is a double-LP tour de force by London-based musician and producer Alex Monk. Incorporating '70s kraut-synth psychedelia, cosmic ambient drones, and haunting melodies into an ambitious framework of multi-layered sonic bleakness with hints of early Eno, Klaus Schultze, Robert Wyatt, and Moondog. Monk creates a world that's filled with loss, loneliness, and ethereal beauty -- staring into the abyss while the icecaps are hugging your skull... Hand-numbered edition of 310 with a screen-printed open sleeve. Includes MP3 download voucher.
