Hi there,
2021 has barely started, and our first release of the year has landed on march 9 th. we really happy to be presenting the debut album by Roxane Métayer. Born in France and currently residing in Brussels, Roxane Métayer is truly a multidisciplinary artist - eg: she also did the sleeve for the R.O.T. cd that came out last year. Learning the violin at a young age, she also developed herself as a visual artist, creating drawings, sculptures in uncommon materials as soap, and in recent years video. Her work as a musician is of an equally spontaneous nature.
On her first solo lp Eclipse des Ocelles, Roxane Métayer fully explores the possibilities of the violin, field recordings and folk oriented orchestration and melodies. She’s not afraid to use effects, minimal percussion, whistles and the occasional hushed vocal to expand the sonic palette to a maximum effect, resulting in multilayered, semi-improvised and subtle meanderings, gently evolving around a tight core.
The lp comes in an edition of 150 copies, in a gloriously detailed full colour cover. pre-orders will be sent out early march, in the week before the release date. just 15 euro + shipping - which is around 6 euro for belgium, 9-10 for anywhere in europe or the usa, and 14 for the rest of the world.(also: when ordering at least three items, you'll get a 10% discount...) order? head over to the store.

on dec 18th, we had one last release for 2020: Bingo Trappers, the prolific Dutch lofi-legends, return with Giddy wishes, their first album since the sold out elizabethan record. Once again, they prove to be the masters of 60s-influenced psychedelic garagepop, with a touch of dreamy americana blent in. no-one else makes their songs so fluid-sounding an catchy like they do. Giddy Wishes is a treat to hear: like recieving an oldfashioned postcard from a friend you haven't seen in too long.
The album is pressed on high-quality german clear vinyl, and all sleeves are screenprinted by hand on heavy cardstock, making each copy a tiny bit different from the other. complete with lyric sheet and download coupon. edition of 300 copies worldwide. a co-release with our friends at Almost Halloween Time, Unread and Grapefruit record club.

Earlier last year, we put out two cd's by a couple of familiar faces. in short:(more details on the release-pages)
MORC 79: R.O.T.: Klein eiland (cd)
Long-awaited return by this minimalistic noise bigband from Belgium. the sound of subtle communication, using mostly unamplified sounds. R.O.T. manages to capture a specific time and space like no one else does. Their last recordings feat Floris Vanhoof!
MORC 80: Lowered – music for empty rooms (cd)
Slow-motion chamber music, with silence as the conductor. ‘Music for empty rooms’ explores the nature of dissonance, resonance and silence. The ‘empty rooms’ reference Gowers’ move to a new house in a strange town following the death of his wife. As such it is a meditation on loss, dislocation and the silence of absence. A very intense but rewarding listening experience.
the cd's are still here: 10 euro per cd - shipping to most countries (EU + USA) is approx 5 euro for the two cds.
