YUMMY FUR, THE	Everybody Talks About The Weather (Transparent Light Blue and Transparent Yellow Vinyl)	LP	UPSET THE RHYTHM	UTR 178BS-LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/9/2026 LP version. 180 gram "blue sunshine" vinyl (transparent light blue and transparent yellow vinyl). "The Yummy Fur's first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band's original incarnation -- fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999 -- morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown's life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. Everybody Talks About The Weather delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas existing at once, revealing themselves then dipping back into hiding. Recorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), Everybody Talks About The Weather comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows, and seven years after the release of their sorta-greatest hits compilation Piggy Wings (Rock Action). Ten tracks long with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, with a new clarity of sound that allows their ambiguities to come into the light . . . Everybody Talks About The Weather is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe its biggest surprise." --Claire Biddles (2026)

OSEES	Off Course (Blue Vinyl)	LP	DEATHGOD CORP	DG 011X-LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. Blue color vinyl. "We went back to an older method of writing for this one. We jammed and jammed and jammed. I took the tapes home and ironed out some mutant tunes. We went back into the studio and burned them to tape live and then I took it home to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and bought in Tom Dolas and Brigid Dawson to put the finish on. Spice is always nice. Mixed it all up in the cauldron and thus we have a strange brew indeed. Floating in the smoke we have: A couple long jams, a couple short jams and a finale that'll dump a bucket of ear worms on you (reminiscent of 'the axis'). Dip your toe in organ rock and roll. So without further ado we present to you Off Course. An album wondering where the fuck are we and how did we get here. A signal dispatched out into the darkness. We are here. We are alive. And we are together."

FAUST	Ungebunden	LP	BUREAU B	BB 509LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For over half a century, Hans Joachim Irmler has pursued the outer limits of sound. As a child, he would neglect his flute to pluck at the strings of his grandmother's zither, cutting his fingers in search of greater resonance and volume. Drawn from an early age to the physical power of sound, he eventually found his instrument in the organ, whose vast sonic range offered seemingly endless possibilities; he still performs on the first organ he built himself. Expanding his sonic palette with synthesizers, tape manipulation and self-modified electronics, Irmler has relentlessly treated music less as composition than as a force of nature, capable of overwhelming, disorienting, destabilizing and transforming both performer and listener alike. Ungebunden continues this trajectory. Recorded alone in the Faust studio in Scheer over the course of just three weeks, the album does not revisit Faust as a repertoire or a historical artefact, but as a continuous vessel for pure creativity. Working largely through improvisation, Irmler begins with little more than a direction or impulse, allowing the material to reveal its own logic as it unfolds. Massive synthesizer figures advance through roaring distortion while pulsing waveforms, whistles and electronic chatter orbit around them. At once oppressive and playful, structured and chaotic, this album embodies the tension at the heart of Irmler's process. Through Ungebunden, Hans Joachim Irmler poses Faust as a question, its sound a force capable of unsettling assumptions, disrupting perception and opening unforeseen possibilities.

WOLFGANG PRESS, THE	Asylum Variations	LP	DOWNWARDS	DNLP 913LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. The Wolfgang Press present their ninth studio album, Asylum Variations. The album, the follow up to 2024's acclaimed album, A 2nd Shape -- the band's first in nearly thirty years -- continues the return of one of post-punk's most singular and restlessly inventive groups. With Asylum Variations, The Wolfgang Press continue their tradition of never making the same album twice. Although the sonic DNA of A 2nd Shape is intact, the band ramp up the tension and dread while also creating a coherent and accessible set of songs. Recorded at Metway Studio in Brighton, UK, they utilized the method of recording directly onto ADAT and taking the results into the studio to use as the basis for the record. The resulting album is yet another step forward for a band who's only constant is the fact that every album will sound different to the last. Opener "Speakers Don't Speak" is driven by a Can-like beat, Roxy VCS3-style processed guitars, and gurgling analogue synths, over which singer/bassist Michael Allen's seemingly stream-of-consciousness lyrics evoke unease without specifying its source. Elsewhere on the album, wheezing synths and haunted harmonies underpin "Blood On The Leaves," with Allen's bass melodically meandering before collapsing into a dubby breakdown, while "Sail By" again references the dub influence that marked the band out from their early '80s post-punk peers. With Allen in his best crooner mode, "Bind Us" is ushered in on Andrew Gray's undulating guitar, while his brother Stephen picks out the prettiest of keyboard melodies. Penultimate track "Embrace The Light" is a sparse and downtempo ballad, which allows Allen to show off his yearning vocal to full effect and finale "Man Made Heaven" crawls slowly to the album's end, a nimble bassline darting around dirge-like guitars and a synthetic choir. Allen is joined by his daughters for a coda of "it's a lie, it's a lie," finishing the album in a crescendo of industrial noise that manages to be both bleak yet strangely uplifting. Maintaining such a dichotomy is not an easy thing to do, and it's part of what made The Wolfgang Press so unique first time around. If Asylum Variations is anything to go by, the 21st century iteration of the band is more than capable of channeling this duality, their fractured music making them perfect for the fragmented times we find ourselves in.

FAUST	Fliegen lernen	CD	BUREAU B	BB 455CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For Wüsthoff, music began long before Faust. As a child he watched his father lose himself in music, playing accordion renditions of operettas, film themes and folk songs with complete absorption. At eleven he discovered jazz through a radio program tracing its history, then taught himself guitar and piano as a teenager, developing an instinctive relationship with sound driven by curiosity rather than convention. Produced by Onnen Bock alongside Bureau B's Gunther Buskies, Fliegen Lernen continues that philosophy. Drawn from decades of archived recordings, new studio experiments and collaborations with musicians in Hamburg, it is a living extension of Faust's open-ended creative spirit. Ideas emerge through chance as much as intention, with sounds, words and stories setting one another in motion until they gradually find their own form. Its title, simultaneously suggesting "flies are learning" and "learning to fly," perfectly captures the playful shifts in perspective that have long defined Wüsthoff's work. Throughout Fliegen Lernen, Wüsthoff revisits and reimagines ideas that have animated his career for more than half a century. Much of the material grew from electronic sequences discovered in his archive, some echoing the patterns behind the homemade "Spieluhr" frequency-divider and sequencer he built during his Faust years. By turns humorous, reflective, cinematic and groove-driven, Fliegen Lernen demonstrates that Wüsthoff's creative imagination remains as restless as ever. Rather than recreating the past, it embodies the same openness that made Faust so singular in the first place: a belief that any sound, object or passing observation can become the spark for something unexpected. More than fifty years after those formative experiments, Wüsthoff continues to approach music as an act of curiosity, collaboration and continual discovery.

FAUST	Gugaruz	CD	BUREAU B	BB 486CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Werner "Zappi" Diermaier has spent decades channeling spontaneity into a unique rhythmic language; a direct, instinctive and vital beat born from the creative freedom which has long defined the spirit of Faust. This same intuitive approach is at the heart of his new LP Gugaruz, created in collaboration with Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) and Elke Drapatz, a record which grew organically from shared experiences, chance encounters and the energy of collective interaction. The project's unlikely starting point came in a Vietnamese restaurant, when Diermaier pointed to a piece of pickled baby corn and exclaimed "Gugaruz", an Austrian dialect word for maize. That small moment triggered a chain reaction of ideas that would eventually shape the album's imagery, titles and sound world. Popcorn cooking in a kitchen both became the source material for field recordings used on the opening track and inspired the cover artwork, establishing a process in which everyday sounds and environments became integral musical elements. Throughout the album, Diermaier's percussion serves as both foundation and driving force. His playing is entirely intuitive, developed in real time through improvisation and close interaction with the other musicians. Initial sessions as a trio, with Elke Drapatz operating the drum effects and trigger module and Dirk Dresselhaus on bass, were recorded in the latter's ZONE studio in Berlin over a day and a half, before Uwe Bastiansen and Ilpo Väisänen added overdubs in Hamburg and Kuopio, Finland. Shaped by the dialogue between Diermaier's intuitive rhythmic approach, the interplay between Dresselhaus, Drapatz, Bastiansen and Väisänen and the use of the studio as an instrument, the album captures inspiration at its source, preserving the immediacy, energy and unpredictability of the moment in which it was created.

FAUST	MOI (Indie Exclusive)	LP	BUREAU B	BB 488LTD-LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. Indie exclusive. Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Since childhood, Jean-Hervé Peron has embraced creativity wherever he finds it. Whether duetting with the sound of his footsteps, collaborating with cement mixers or experimenting with whatever instrument he can get his hands on, play is at the heart of everything he does. This new album gathers ideas, memories and unfinished projects accumulated across his whole lifetime. Its tongue-in-cheek subtitle, "Maybe Of Interest," offers a typically Peronian joke: MOI can suggest a certain self-confidence or egocentrism, yet the subtitle gently undercuts it, revealing the vulnerability, humor and self-awareness that run throughout the record. In fact, MOI is anything but solitary. Credited to FaUSt, with the "US" deliberately capitalized, the record reflects Péron's belief in collaboration, friendship and collective creativity, bringing together a wide network of musicians, engineers, writers and performers from across the extended Faust family. In fact, more than twenty people contributed to the recording sessions, making MOI as much a collective endeavor as a personal statement. Recorded over two winter weeks at Schiphorst studio in northern Germany and deftly combining the contradictory forces of meticulous planning, free improvisation and chance discovery, MOI draws equally from childhood memories, Fluxus principles, dadaist humor and deeply personal experiences. The resulting album moves effortlessly between musique concrète, avant-pop, jazz, spoken word and experimental electronics, united by Péron's curiosity and irrepressible sense of play. Throughout the record, Jean-Hervé Péron presents FaUSt as a living network of friendships, ideas and creative exchanges.

LLUCH	La Proyeccion	LP	HEGOA	HEG 017LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 La Proyección, the debut LP by Jose María Lluch, an architect and musician from San Sebastián, emerges as a transition -- a gradual shift that unfolded over time. Intimate and innocent, disconnected and erratic at times, the 11 compositions presented here are drawn from recordings spanning nine years, between 2015 and 2024. Humbly assembled in his home studio, the music invites listeners to let their minds drift as the processes of composition, recording, and editing intertwine. Field recordings from everyday life, fingerpicked guitar, soothing harmonics, tape manipulation, and ethereal soundscapes are combined with a naïve openness. The album reveals the joy found in imperfection. Rarely do audiences have the chance to glimpse someone's work in its most unguarded form, without a specific context, after years spent making music simply as a way to break away -- not for anyone else, but for oneself. The songs on La Proyección reveal that very essence, shaped by a shared memory.

$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 LP version. Indie exclusive. Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Werner "Zappi" Diermaier has spent decades channeling spontaneity into a unique rhythmic language; a direct, instinctive and vital beat born from the creative freedom which has long defined the spirit of Faust. This same intuitive approach is at the heart of his new LP Gugaruz, created in collaboration with Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) and Elke Drapatz, a record which grew organically from shared experiences, chance encounters and the energy of collective interaction. The project's unlikely starting point came in a Vietnamese restaurant, when Diermaier pointed to a piece of pickled baby corn and exclaimed "Gugaruz", an Austrian dialect word for maize. That small moment triggered a chain reaction of ideas that would eventually shape the album's imagery, titles and sound world. Popcorn cooking in a kitchen both became the source material for field recordings used on the opening track and inspired the cover artwork, establishing a process in which everyday sounds and environments became integral musical elements. Throughout the album, Diermaier's percussion serves as both foundation and driving force. His playing is entirely intuitive, developed in real time through improvisation and close interaction with the other musicians. Initial sessions as a trio, with Elke Drapatz operating the drum effects and trigger module and Dirk Dresselhaus on bass, were recorded in the latter's ZONE studio in Berlin over a day and a half, before Uwe Bastiansen and Ilpo Väisänen added overdubs in Hamburg and Kuopio, Finland. Shaped by the dialogue between Diermaier's intuitive rhythmic approach, the interplay between Dresselhaus, Drapatz, Bastiansen and Väisänen and the use of the studio as an instrument, the album captures inspiration at its source, preserving the immediacy, energy and unpredictability of the moment in which it was created.

RADA, RUBEN	La Yapla Mata	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 156LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/25/2026 Blending Afro-Uruguayan rhythms with rock, soul, jazz, and funk, Ruben Rada has left an indelible mark on the musical landscapes of Uruguay and Argentina from the 1960s to the present. In the '60s, alongside Eduardo Mateo, he helped pioneer candombe beat with the legendary band El Kinto. In the early 1970s, Rada broke new ground again with Totem, fusing Afrobeat and rock into a sound well ahead of its time. He later joined the Fattoruso brothers and Airto Moreira in Opa, contributing to the band's now-iconic jazz fusion sound during his time in the United States. In the 1980s, Rada relocated to Buenos Aires, where he formed a powerhouse ensemble featuring top musicians from both sides of the Río de la Plata. Together, they created a string of acclaimed albums blending candombe with jazz and rock -- marking one of the most celebrated periods of his career. La Yapla Mata (1985) stands out as one of the finest records Rada produced during that era -- a vibrant fusion of candombe rhythms with rock, jazz fusion, and soul, all anchored by his extraordinary voice. The album includes some of his most iconic songs, such as "Candombe para Gardel." Once a well-kept secret in Uruguay and Argentina, La Yapla Mata is now being released internationally for the first time -- forty years later.
