Tending collects together four pieces for modern ensemble by British-American composer/ guitarist James M Creed. The CD release features on its cover a monochrome photo of two figures walking along a misty mountain scape. And this is most apt, as many of the pieces have a drifting across a hazy landscape feel- where details, shape, and subtle traces of melody slowly come into view.

Vacant Align Interview
Active since October 2025, Wisconsin’s Vacant Align is one of the more atmospheric and texturally inventive wall noise projects to appear in some time. It’s a project that takes its time in releasing work, and you can certainly hear it, as each of their releases so far is a perfectly crafted blend of expressive and engaging textures. Behind the project is John Engman, who very kindly agreed to give us an email interview

Flare collections together six modern classical chamber works from up-and-coming Malaysian Australian composer Sylvia Lim. Her work mixes the gloomy and emotional felt, with the lightly searing to the awkwardly bounding. This collection is relatively varied in both its sound & instrumental use
2026’s The Mortuary Assistant blends & blurs several sub-genres of horror to create a grimly heady and macabrely unpredictable ride. It focuses on a newly trained mortuary assistant's first night working solo. The film mixes creepy & lightning-striking gothic unease, are-they-going-crazy-or-not psycho thriller, occultic mystery, and demented demonic horror- which at points get quite action bound/ tense. Here from Acorn Media International is a Blu-ray release of the film.
Jasper Sharp interview
In the year 1971, Nikkatsu, the oldest/ at one point, the biggest film production company in Japan. Did something quite daring/ some would say crazy- they completely switched over their production to softcore adult films, which would become known as Roman Porno. Between 1971 and 1988, the company produced around 850 of these titles. The thing that made these films stand out from general softcore films is the often creative & inventive choices made- yes, the films primal focus is sleaze, but great examples of the genre are so much more than that. In the last year or so, there has been a spate of reissues of films in the genre from labels such as 88 Films, Third Window Films, and Klubb Super 8. One of the key figures/contributors behind these releases is Jasper Sharp- one of the world's experts on the genre, and the wider Pink genre it’s connected to. Jasper kindly agreed to give us an email interview discussing his history with the genre, his contributions to releases, and the new/updated edition of his book Behind The Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema on Fab Press.
King Futile Interview
King Futile is the new project from Scotland-based Lea Cummings( Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc), and it’s a big departure from his normal noise or retro sample & electronica sound. It's lo-fi acoustic music, with an outsider feel, and often quite tongue-in-cheek/ sharply sarcastic tone to the lyrics. So far, the project has put out three albums- Casual Misery, How To Have Fun, and Zen As Fuck. I tracked down Lea for an email interview.
Die Regeninsel is a collaborative drone-ambient album from two of the European masters of the form, Dirk Serries & Asmus Tietchens. Both have been actively making work for several decades- building up large but respected discographies. This is a six-track affair, with a fair amount of tonal, textural and atmospheric shift between each track- though the focus is largely dark, troubling, and grim intensity.
