Liam Kazar is a Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter whose music finds folk, rock, pop, jazz, and alt-country within moments of each other. Raised in a rich musical community and performing from a young age, Kazar honed his craft through years of collaboration and touring with artists like Jeff Tweedy, Hannah Cohen, and many others. His solo work began in2021 with his debut Due North, a boisterous offering full of existential fears and manic guitar arrangements.

Now, Kazar returns with Pilot Light, his long-awaited sophomore album and most emotionally candid release to date. Produced by Sam Evian and featuring contributions from close collaborators, Pilot Light finds Kazar exploring the enduring embers of love, heartbreak, and personal growth. Stripped-down and sonically direct, the album moves with a quiet confidence—its vulnerable songwriting and intimate arrangements illuminating Kazar’s evolution into a singular and resonant voice in indie music.

FÖR is a new collaboration between percussionists Kweku Sumbry (Washington, DC) and Shakoor Hakeem (Philadelphia) and Swedish saxophonist Isak Ingvarsson. Rooted in the spirit of Don Cherry’s arrival in Sweden in the mid-1960s, the project bridges Swedish folk traditions with the rhythmic folklore of the Afro-Diaspora—fusing into a deep sonic eruption of energy and expression.

Brett Naucke is an experimental composer and visual artist from Chicago, IL, currently based in Asheville, NC.

Naucke's sonic output has been primarily focused on marrying an ever-evolving practice of synthesis with conceptual narratives. His most recent recordings have been released by a wide variety of acclaimed labels such as American Dreams, Spectrum Spools, Umor Rex, L.I.E.S, and Hausu Mountain in addition to many others since 2010. Beyond live performance, Naucke has provided the original scores for several films, sound design for interactive gaming, and presented many works for multi-channel audio and video installations.

His new work “Ground Fault Matinee” consists of 2 completely different EPs / broadcasts. A multi year study into two wildly different ways of writing / forms of synthesis.

Side A: ‘Universal Voltage’ is smear of electricity written primarily on the Buchla, Serge, EMS, and other iconic vintage synthesizer systems
Side B: ‘FM For FM’ is a jailbroken deep dive into the boundless and glassy world of FM synthesis

Earthstar Mountain is an ode to curiosity. It asks what it means to live a life: how do we decide which direction to take? How do we stay there? And what happens when the rug is pulled from under our feet?

Once again working with her partner and collaborator Sam Evian at their recording studio Flying Cloud, Hannah Cohen’s fourth full-length album Earthstar Mountain, is a keepsake of Cohen's time in the Catskills, built over the course of 2020-2024, as blurred, shimmering memories come into focus to produce a collage of echoes and sonic souvenirs.

Featuring contributions from Sufjan Stevens, Clairo, Sean Mullins, Liam Kazar, Oliver Hill and more, Earthstar Mountain is a love letter to the Catskills and in the interconnectedness of all things: in her past, present, future and alternative selves, in her friends––here and gone––and in the mountain that peers through her windows.

LP release show for Sweet Harm! Sweet Harm are a four piece punk band from the Hudson Valley that treads the intersection of beauty and grit, anchored by love and fuzz. Their new LP “Certain Sun”is a fever of moods: songs unfolding with a grounded force, equal parts scrappy and shimmering. Jagged guitars converge with bitter-sweet vocal interplay from Dominic Armao and Kate Larson, anchored by the propulsive rhythm section of Mike Campbell and Liv Battell. Their songs grasp at connection from all angles, weaving a sturdy urgency that feels both bruised and vivid. The members have been playing music in circles around each other for most of their adult lives, catching back up in 2023 and building a new focus together, finally feeling at home.

"Chimers erupt with a furious roar, guitar and drums flailing wildly in full-speed, full-body motion. The single “3AM” from the second full-length, clangs, pummels, and dreams, the vocals going dim and droney above the tumult. A guitar-and-drum duo, the Australian band, churns up a wake of turbulence soothed over by psychedelic bliss. It’s like the Japandroids crossed with Salad Boys, like Kinski towed at 70 m.p.h. on waterskis, like FACS, but faster, thumpier and less artfully complicated. The band came together during pandemic isolation in 2020, the general loneliness amplified by the band’s remote Wollongong location. Padraic Skehan and his partner Binx were both drummers—perhaps a hint at how Chimers’ driving, propulsive sound evolved—but Skehan switched to guitar and voice. A self-titled album emerged in 2021, and as the COVID receded, Chimers took its body-pulping assault to the public, earning something like cult status. Henry Rollins is a fan. Junkee.com called their debut “One of the strongest Australian rock records of the year.” Now, the follow-up comes on 12XU in America (and Poison City in Australia), a bold, rapturously noisy onslaught of head-battering percussion, razor-sharp strumming and singing like a smoke mirage disappearing in your hands. Ten songs in half an hour, no breaks, no divergences, no filler.- Dusted

Kieran Daly is an American composer with a concentration in experimental monophonic music. His work focuses on a primarily performance-based, first-principles approach using iterative processes, sliding timbres, and pulse salience as formal determinants. Since 2015, he has soundtracked several features and shorts by Canadian filmmaker Isiah Medina.

Ben Bennett is an improvising percussionist who makes timbrally and formally diverse music from simplified instruments in the membranophone and idiophone families. His latest work, Music for Idiophones, deals with dynamic stick-slip behaviour of various basic materials. He has toured extensively throughout the Americas and Europe and performed in several international festivals as a soloist and in improvising ensembles.

Dani Dobkin (synthesizer) and Matt Sargent (guitar and electronics) are a musical duo from New York. Beginning with a phrase from Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons, "Act so that there is no use in a center," the improvising duo delights in the exploration of their contrasting sensibilities. Since 2021, they have released two albums and completed two North American tours, during which they’ve continued a musical conversation across many shows in museums, cathedrals, universities, warehouses, and bars.

Their music has been described as “a strangely emotional, gossamer-like tapestry of sounds, from barely audible phrases to saturating swells of noise. It all sounds almost like an American primitive guitar record retrieved from far in the future.” (Antonio Poscic, Future Music) Writing about their newest album, Old Dutch Church, Bill Meyer of the Chicago Reader states, “Dobkin’s electronics shimmer and writhe like something growing under the light of Sargent’s carefully spaced harmonics

Jeff Tobias Ensemble

Jeff Tobias is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who has been an active part of the American music underground since 2003, known for his work with Modern Nature, Sunwatchers, Thee Reps, and many, many others. He has contributed to over one hundred physically released recordings, and his saxophone playing has been described as “authentically fearsome … just the sort of thing that fries microphones and never pays the rent.” (Bill Meyer, The Wire, March 2018). Jeff Tobias Ensemble is a new quartet performing songs from his new album One Hundredfold Now in This Age (Repeating Cloud), a collection of anti-imperialist avant-pop songs.

Free Satie

First performed at Panoply Performance Laboratory in 2014, the "Free Satie" Project springs from the practice of Brian McCorkle, bringing together a big band of musicians to play Satie's Trois Gnossiennes as "heads" for free improvisation. The project is always in flux, but currently the ensemble includes Bram Kincheloe (drums), Brian McCorkle (keyboard), Will McEvoy (bass), Ian Munro (organ), Peyton Pleninger (tenor sax), Dan Schwartz (drums), Aliza Simons (euphonium), George Winstone (alto sax), and Aaron Yanda (drums).

Composer and vintage keyboard maestro Moon Mullins wrote Hotel Paradiso—his newest work of programmatic exotica for Ruination Records—from the perspective of some lone, context-free traveler. They are at loose ends, eager for a few days in another open-ended, simpler life; from their vantage,we see, hear, and feel Paradiso. Mullins creates his imagery through a singular, meticulously blended combination of synthetic and acoustic sounds, played largely by him with help from friends. The scenario inspires the most ambitious and orchestrally-minded set of compositions the Brooklyn-based musician has yet released.

Orcutt Shelley Miller is an avant-rock trio comprised of three highly celebrated figures of experimental music: Bill Orcutt (Harry Pussy), Steve Shelley (SonicYouth) and Ethan Miller (Howlin Rain, Comets On Fire).Following in the footsteps of the high-firing free jazz and European outer-rockbands of the ‘60s and ‘70s and the Pacific Rim’s subterranean reimagining of“rock” form in the 90s, Orcutt Shelley Miller utilize explosive group chemistry,focused intention and chance to pursue the creation of song in its rawest, purestform.

“The landscape Orcutt Shelley Miller inhabits lies deep in the stoner Americanbedrock, fed by volcanic riffage and hypnotic phrasing with rhythmic nods to theSoCal ‘60s and atonal slash piled on a mid ‘80s SST punk-fusionoid substrate,ultimately blasting a "big rock statement" that treads the line between good timesand blown minds.”

A surreal mosaic of eerie chant processionals, tape-rot trickery, panicked oud madness and more. These are sonic forgeries of atavistic heritages, recorded by analog means using esoteric techniques.

“They have been known by many names: The Givers of Illness; The Bandylegged Riders of the Ill-Promised Sun, etc… Honed and expanded through their travels, Ak’chamel’s singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and lo-fi ritual folk is as unique as the physical theater of their otherworldly live performances.”

Ak’chamel is an ensemble of post-apocalyptic wanderers, piecing together shattered instruments to weave eldritch folklore through sonic shards and shadowed sagas.

GOTH NIGHT!

The Treasury is the project of Troy Hancock of Richmond, VA. Cutting his teeth initially in the Raleigh NC punk scene, Hancock relocated to Richmond in 2018 and began to focus on experimenting with synths and drum machines. Following a revelatory Richmond show supporting EBM stalwarts Kontravoid and Lunacy, Hancock solidified his new, aggressive sound, combining a love for 1990s techno, post-punk, EBM, and Synth-punk into a unique and hard-hitting whole.

Excepter is a New York experimental electronic band. Founded 2002 by former No-Neck Blues Band member John Fell Ryan. Brought NNCK ethos of extended low technique free improvisation and street theater into the sound world of techno hardware: synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, dub effects. Releases on Fusetron, Load, Kill Rock Stars, Paw Tracks, Blast First Petite, Escho. Turned accolades like Pitchfork Best New Music and cover of The Wire Magazine into reasons to go further underground. Currently operating out of Hudson Valley NY as an eternalist synth pop duo with mononymous singer, composer Lala. A new LP titled "Displacer" will be released on Excepter Records early 2026

From the outset, Clock Serum’s Contrast EP is tough. It’s four-on-the-floor body music with muscle and incessant energy—a collection of four tracks that embrace dramatic, driving percussion and volatile vocals by producer Andrew Wang. Side A begins with “Ghost”’s tenacious EBM bassline that creates a forceful headiness in contrast to elegant synth pads that lift the track from its filthiness. “Contrast,” the lead single, takes its vivacity from the likes of analog heroes Crash Course in Science with bouncy percussive elements. Wang’s punk-influenced vocals are the focus: “Put myself through hell, does it help?” he asks. “Who do I tell when you fall?”
