Brevyn graces the keys again with the same elegant imagination we have seen across numerous releases. More than ever, there is a neoclassical feel to the New Age underpinnings: the sound of a romantic soloist operating an elaborate, Atlantean cathedral organ made of hundreds of winding coral pipes. A suite many shades of blue, traversed by ripples and shafts of light, forms patterns and reflective mirages that are entirely open to divination by the listener—luxuriously submerged in emotion....

With this sampler, we present artists who have made Vulpiano across the span of 2021 and into early 2022. We find both continuity and renewal of the recurring themes solidified at our core over 12 years. There are long-time pillars of the label: Richey Hackett’s tremendous growth branching into emotionally vital electronic compositions; the ever-versatile, 90s alternative-saturated introspections of King Elizabeth (furiously prolific since 2020 after a long absence since the early years of...

Welcome back for another filing in this discreetly dark era of Vulpiano, where organically recurring overtones have surfaced amongst the artists foraging herein. As per usual, we present diverse music with an experimental heart. We move through many melancholic, slow-burning hinterlands of sound collage, possessed phonographs, and transmission wave existentialism. But before that, there are hazy impressions of a never-summer, aqua-nostalgia, and acid-nocturnal driving music that scales an...

…and then i discovered its eyes, its face. inexpressive features, with no other trait save the eyes, two orifices, like brooches, wholly of transparent gold, lacking any life but looking, letting themselves be penetrated by my look, which seemed to travel past the golden level and lose itself in a diaphanous interior mystery. a very slender black halo ringed the eye and etched it onto the pink flesh, onto the rosy stone of the head, vaguely triangular, but with curved and triangular sides...

Richey Hackett continues a prolific run of releases since returning to Vulpiano after a long absence, with this second single for his forthcoming album 'A Space For Your Dreams'. Here Richey seems to bring the instrumental ambiance of his rewarding pandemic LP 'You Are Nothing But Light' to his vocal work, with a cathartic and ethereal relinquishing of burden that takes flight with a digitizing breakbeat of a coda.

Prolific electronic artist Walt Thisney joins Vulpiano with EP 'Bhakthis'. Sentimental, alien, nocturnal instrumentals for a weird evening...or any time. About Walt Thisney: Walt Thisney selects and mixes music for the mind and body in the same quantities that emerges from encounters between the past and the present, drawing beauty of the commonplace, wiping, polishing it, giving it life again, so to produce the same effect of the original freshness and spontaneity, a mirror that transforms it...

Lately Kind of Yeah - Hutton’s Paradox (VULP-0136) Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series. Hutton’s Paradox largely shares in common the video game aesthetics of Sol Saga and The Lost Adventures of Vexx , with the more minimal, acoustic “Exit Only” and “Compass” providing a reflective sonic escape . A mixed bag of moods can be found here, from the bullet hell-in-space atmosphere of “Harken Laser” to my personal favorite, the complex “Moonquakes”...

Comprised of past/present Henry's Phonograph members, Worthy Eardrum Party combines a dose of nostalgia, recalling classic 60s melodic harmony (Power Shift) and garage themes (Watching the Spiral), with a penchant for sound exploration and crafting memorable, summery tunes.

Following on from his Young Bloods / Beasts EP earlier this month, King Elizabeth is back again with his third LP of the year: A State of Mind . King Elizabeth continues his astonishingly eclectic journey into the nexus of synth music and alternative rock, now with a decidedly neo-psychedelic bent often rooted in a legacy of alternative dance fusions: hazy dirges, ambient techno workouts, hypnotic loops, even transatlantic electro-industrial sounds. Part of the album's charm is how often...

These three tracks call up an atmosphere like that depicted on the cover: isolated in a clean, uncluttered room, you find yourself both comforted and unsettled.
