Includes 2LPs pressed on ‘ghostly’ purple and blue
vinyl, with zoetrope labels and a gatefold jacket.

epic sophomore album, might be just the antidote

from space, these seasoned warriors of
psychedelia have crafted timeless songs that may
as well be chiselled in stone.
The monolithic dream team’s new record was
produced by Les Claypool and Sean Lennon
themselves and engineered and mixed by Les
Claypool at his own Rancho Relaxo studio in
Sonoma County, California.
Grab your goggles and a month’s supply of KoolAid because The Claypool Lennon Delirium are
about to take you for a ride on a rock ‘n’ roll rocket
ship and frankly you may never come back.

Die Welt war nie bereit für The Monsters, und The Monsters waren nie bereit für diese Welt. Nach vierzig Jahren, in denen sie zu einem echten Monster aus Fleisch und Blut herangereift sind, präsentieren sie ihr neuntes Album: gut ein Dutzend kompromissloser, wilder, lärmiger und fuzz-geladener Tracks. Ein Mix aus Ein-Riff-Beat, Trash, Garage, "Bern Metal", Boogie, Punk und Grunge - Songs, die einen von innen nach außen stülpen, aufgenommen mit "Miracle" Robert "Worker" Butler und abgemischt von Jim "Dirtbomb" Diamond - ein echtes Garage-Punk-Dreamteam. Vor vierzig Jahren, 1986, war die Jugendkultur-Revolution in Bern (Schweiz) in vollem Gange, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene wollten sich aus den konservativen Fesseln befreien. Die Straßen brannten, Clubs entstanden und eine neue Schweizer Musikkultur wurde geboren. Dies markierte auch den Beginn von The Monsters. Vierzig Jahre später hat sich der Zustand der Musikkultur - oder vielmehr der Welt im Allgemeinen - wohl eher verschlechtert. Individuelles Denken und Schaffen sind nach wie vor nicht sonderlich anerkannt oder gar erwünscht (Hey KI!). Im März 2026 blieb der Band also nichts anderes übrig, als ihre Instrumente, das Aufnahme-Equipment und ihre Ideen in den Proberaum zu verfrachten. Sie verbrachten einen Monat mit Robert Butler (u. a. The Miracle Workers) und seinem mobilen "Two Cent Recording Studio". Sie schrieben Texte (insgesamt etwa 100 Wörter - mal sinnvoll, mal unsinnig, über das ganze Album verstreut), tüftelten am Sound und nahmen Gitarren in allen erdenklichen Variationen auf. Das Ganze wurde gewürzt mit Percussion, Schlagzeug, Bass sowie obskuren Orgeln und Synthesizern, die sie auf Flohmärkten oder in den Kellern von Freunden aufgetrieben hatten. Nach diesem vierwöchigen Trip schickten sie das gesamte Chaos an Jim Diamond (Ghetto Recorders Studios in Detroit, Dirtbombs, White Stripes, Gories, André Williams... klar, worum es geht, ne?!), um es einem umwerfenden Mix-Abenteuer zu unterziehen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Dutzend Songs ohne Kompromisse, Schwächen oder Stärken. Einfach nur roher, ungeschliffener Lo-Fi-Garage-Punk'n'Roll voller Energie - und das mit vierzig Jahren "Nicht-Erfahrung". Erhältlich sind schwarzes Vinyl und eine pinke Picture-Disc (beide mit Insert & DLC), eine höchst audiophile CD sowie Kassette, die bei doppelter Geschwindigkeit leiert! Für Fans von Reverend Beat-Man, VRR, The Mummies, Oblivians, Billy Childish, Damaged Goods, Monks, very early Hives, Garagepunk, Lo-Fi-Roll, Alternative Beat

New pressing on black vinyl (500 units). Following the recently released and highly praised Trees 50th Anniversary box set on Earth Recordings, Trees reissue their debut album ‘The Garden of Jane Delawney’as a standalone release. It’s now over fifty years since Trees’ formation, a band who helped define ‘Acid Folk’, creating a sub-category in the lexicon of record dealers and music critics alike. “When we are talking about psych folk or acid folk, we are really talking about music like this by Trees” Stuart Maconie, BBC6 Music. Trees first album, ‘The Garden of Jane Delawney’ (1970) snuggles nicely into contemporary nu-folkies’ idea of the genre, and shares some of the pastoral-whimsy that characterised The Incredible String Band or Donovan, offset by some stunning interpretations of traditional material and Bias’ own songs. The record includes readings of ‘Lady Margaret’, ‘Glasgerion’, the old standard ‘She Moved Thro’ The Fair’, and the extended fade of the group’s own ‘Road’, presage the explosive instrumental duelling that would come to characterise the follow up album, ‘On The Shore’. // “The music’s arcane power remains intact” Mojo. // “A fantastic band” Record Collector. // “Spectacular” Uncut. // “Sublime” Shindig. // Timeless” Prog. // “It’s these two original albums that stand as pinnacles of form” The Wire. // Track listing: A1. Nothing Special A2. The Great Silkie A3. The Garden of Jane Delawney A4. Lady Margaret B1. Glasgerion B2. She Moved Thro' The Fair B3. Road B4. Epitaph B5. Snail's Lament

‘Fame’ was the TV phenomenon of the year, and Irene Cara’s theme from the original 1980 film enjoyed massive success.

Leading artists from the punk scene enjoyed continued and renewed success, including The Stranglers, The Clash and Pretenders, whilst Foreigner, Meat Loaf with Cher, and Steve Miller Band provided radio-favourite rock and power ballads.

Futurismo proudly present a vital compilation born in the shadows of American punk; AMERICAN GRAVE Gothic Punk / Deathrock USA: 1978-1988, the third volume in their Altered Vision anthology series.
Drawing from darkest depths of the American spirit, American Grave is testament to a subculture spawned from late night savagery, graveyard hangouts and suburban isolation. Deathrock, post-punk, goth, whatever term you prefer, this compilation showcases the sounds and aesthetics of a tarnished golden era, an underground movement that took the DIY concepts of punk and the velocity of a burgeoning hardcore scene and immersed it in echoes, distortion, tribal rhythms and macabre vocals, thematically preying upon cult horror flicks, surrealism, and the manipulation of religious iconography. Whilst the UK had a counterpart scene many would hail as Goth, this was different, this was a truly American incarnation, a new breed of youth haunted by the ghosts of old blues, garage and glam, bleak theatrical imagery dressed up to evoke a response, smeared eyeliner, leather, bones…black. This was a backlash against a culture in decay, bucking against a puritanical oppression brought on by the archaic social standards set by their parents. It was aggression manifested as gloom, it was a ceremony, the celebration of death.
American Grave has been co-curated by Wesley Eisold (Cold Cave/American Nightmare/Heartworm Press) in collaboration with Futurismo head honcho Del Jae, to bring you a haunting tracklist ranging from the all important integral mainstays of the genre to those rarer and more elusive artists, including many recordings that have never been reissued before on any format. Featuring the music of Christian Death, T.S.O.L., The Cramps, Of A Mesh, The Gun Club, Twisted Roots, Kommunity FK, The Brainz, Theatre Of Ice, Burning Image, Fur Bible, PSI Com, Shadow Of Fear, Super Heroines, 45 Grave and more.
The music on this compilation is reinstated further from a visual perspective by an array of incredible images by famed punk photographer Edward Colver, and lovingly designed to the level you would expect from a Futurismo release.
2xLP on limited edition ‘Splintered Tomb’ coloured vinyl. It is housed in a gloss laminated outer sleeve with colour inner sleeves and contains a large fold-out poster with unseen photos by the great Edward Colver, words by Lisa Fancher and liner notes by Wesley Eisold of Cold Cave/American Nightmare.

Across time and beyond genre, this is an audio component test record that continues to earn universal acclaim. Drop the needle and unleash the fateful grooves etched into its tracks.
The rediscovery of this album—originally produced as a test record for high-end audio systems—stands as one of the great rewards brought about by the rare groove movement. The project was led by the visionary Katsunori Ishida, who would later become renowned as a producer, composer, and arranger for numerous television and film soundtracks. Gathering an exceptional line up of musicians including Shuichi “Ponta” Murakami, Akira Okazawa, Mikio Masuda, Kenji Ohmura, and Tantan, Ishida crafted a sound that is both tight and sophisticated.
Tracks such as “Cool Head” and “Son Of Pin Head” showcase grooves that are at times as powerful as a hammer blow, and at others as thrilling as a rushing torrent. The musicianship, precision, and dynamic energy throughout are simply outstanding. Today, thanks to its remarkable level of craftsmanship and commanding presence, this album is recognized as a true masterpiece, admired and celebrated far beyond the boundaries of any single genre.

Wewantsounds is delighted to continue its Ziad Rahbani reissue program with Ana Moush Kafer, a classic album by the Lebanese legend Ziad Rahbani, recorded at his By-Pass Studio in Beirut during the height of the Lebanese Civil War in 1985. Showcasing Rahbani’s signature blend of Arabic music infused with touches of jazz-funk and bossa nova, the album has attained cult status over the years. Originally released on cassette, it has never before been available on vinyl. Newly remastered, this edition features the original Relax-In cassette artwork from 1985 and includes new liner notes by Mario Choueiry of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris.
Ziad Rahbani, who passed away in 2025, remains one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic music and a cultural icon in Lebanon. A musician, composer, pianist, producer and playwright, he helped modernize Arabic music over five decades. The son of composer Assi Rahbani and singer Fairuz, he shaped her late 70s–80s recordings producing Wahdon and Maarifti Feek, while building a major solo career with classics such as Abu Ali and Houdou Nisbi, which have become cult favourites for a new generation of DJs and music lovers.
Released in 1985 in Lebanon, Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of Rahbani’s key achievements. Recorded at his By-Pass Studio during the Lebanese Civil War, it blends Arabic melodic traditions with jazz-funk, bossa nova and Western arrangements. Originally cassette-only, it became one of his most revered releases. Throughout the album, Rahbani’s writing reflects the turbulence of wartime Beirut with a blend of sharp social observation, political satire and melancholy. It captures a moment in Lebanese cultural history where experimentation, satire and popular song intersected, giving the album its enduring influence among music lovers.
Sung by Rahbani and Sami Hawat, alongside Beirut-based musicians, the album features both Western and traditional Arabic instruments. It balances refined arrangements with lyrical irony, social commentary and political reflection, which remain deeply resonant in today’s context in Lebanon.
One of the highlights of the album is the song “Shou A’ada Ma Bada,” with lyrics by Joseph Harb, which reveals a clear bossa nova influence, while the closing track, “Al Mokawama Al Watania Al Lobnani,” offers a deeply human view of war, avoiding patriotic cliché in favour of a nuanced perspective rooted in lived experience.
As Mario Choueiry observes in his liner notes, “Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of the high points of modern Arab political songwriting, yet transcends its historical and geographical context through the universal relevance of its themes and the timeless quality of its music.”
Forty years on, Ana Moush Kafer remains a landmark of Arab music. Wewantsounds presents it on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered and featuring original artwork. This long-awaited reissue restores one of Ziad Rahbani’s most important works to circulation, reaffirming its place as a defining statement in modern Arabic music.

Mit Autobigophonie schuf Françoise Cactus, die unvergessene Sängerin von Stereo Total, einen der charmantesten Klassiker der deutsch-französischen Popliteratur. In diesem autobiografisch inspirierten Roman erzählt sie mit lakonischem Humor, Melancholie und feiner Ironie vom Aufwachsen in der französischen Provinz, von Jugend, Rebellion und dem Aufbruch ins Berlin der Hausbesetzer- und Punkära. Zwischen Schloss, Mädchenpensionat, Revolutionsgeist und Underground-Musikszene entsteht das Porträt einer jungen Frau, die sich gegen Konventionen und Erwartungen behauptet. Fast 30 Jahre nach der Erstveröffentlichung erscheint dieses literarische Juwel nun in einer überarbeiteten Neuausgabe. Ein kluger, witziger und zeitloser Roman über Selbstfindung, Popkultur und die Sehnsucht nach einem anderen Leben.

Mit Punktraditionen - Alles, wirklich alles, was man über Punks wissen muss widmet sich Joachim Hiller den Eigenheiten, Ritualen und liebenswerten Absurditäten einer der langlebigsten Subkulturen der Musikgeschichte. Zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum des Punk erklärt der langjährige Herausgeber des Ox-Fanzine mit viel Humor und Insiderwissen, warum Punks trotz aller Revolte überraschend traditionsbewusst sind. In 50 kurzweiligen Kapiteln beleuchtet Hiller die kleinen und großen Phänomene der Szene - von Doc Martens und Dosenbier über Chaostage und Schnorren bis hin zu kuriosen Verhaltensregeln und Szene-Mythen. Dabei entsteht kein trockenes Sachbuch, sondern eine unterhaltsame Liebeserklärung an eine Kultur, die sich seit Jahrzehnten konsequent gegen Konventionen stellt und dabei ihre ganz eigenen Traditionen entwickelt hat.

Punk Rock in Großbritannien: In John Robbs ultimativer Oral History erzählen die prägenden Protagonisten der ersten Stunde, wie es wirklich war. Robb, Autor mehrerer Bestseller und selbst von Beginn an mit seiner Band The Membranes Teil der Szene, hat sie alle vors Mikrofon geholt: John Lydon, Lemmy, Ari Up, Mark E. Smith, Poly Styrene, Malcolm McLaren, Siouxsie Sioux ... you name it. Sie erzählen, was sie zum Punk brachte und welche Musik sie inspirierte, lassen legendäre Gigs Revue passieren, sprechen über bahnbrechende Platten und die obskursten Ereignisse hinter den Kulissen.
Das Buch ergründet die viel diskutierten Wurzeln des Punk, vermittelt die ganze Intensität der Anfangstage und widmet sich der Post-Punk-Periode ebenso wie dem anhaltenden Einfluss auf heutige Bands. 'Punk Rock - Die ganze Geschichte' ist ein pulsierendes Stück Zeitgeschichte, das die Bewegung in ihrer ganzen Breite beleuchtet: von Mode über Politik bis zur Musik!
Zum 50. Punk-Jubiläum erscheint Robbs lange vergriffener Klassiker der Punk-Geschichtsschreibung, übersetzt von Martin Büsser und Chris Wilpert, endlich in einer überarbeiteten Neuauflage mit einem Vorwort von Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols).

Mit Clouds of Glory - The Story of Martin Rev widmet der renommierte Musikjournalist Kris Needs erstmals einem der großen visionären Außenseiter der Popgeschichte eine umfassende Biografie. Als Mitgründer des legendären Duos Suicide prägte Martin Rev die Entwicklung von Punk, Synth-Pop, New Wave, Techno und Industrial entscheidend mit - lange bevor diese Genres den Mainstream erreichten. Basierend auf jahrzehntelangen Gesprächen und persönlichen Einblicken zeichnet Needs nicht nur den außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg von Martin Rev nach, sondern erzählt zugleich die Geschichte des revolutionären Duos Suicide und des kreativen New Yorks der 1950er bis 1970er Jahre. Das Ergebnis ist ein fesselndes Porträt eines kompromisslosen Künstlers und einer Ära, deren Einfluss bis heute in der modernen Popmusik nachhallt.

Simon Reynolds erzählt von der letzten großen Blütezeit der analogen Musikkultur und schließt damit direkt an sein Standardwerk zum Post-Punk, 'Rip It Up and Start Again', an. In einer Zeit, in der Musik noch greifbar war - als Schallplatte, als Zeitschrift, als Objekt -, war jeder neue Tonträger ein Ereignis, jede Ausgabe eines Magazins ein Ritual. Zwischen den späten Achtzigern und den frühen Neunzigern entfaltete sich ausgehend von diesen Objekten und Ereignissen eine musikalische Revolution, in der die Underground-Szene die Gitarrenmusik neu erfand und langsam in den Mainstream einsickerte, während sich politisch statt Utopien und Zukunftsentwürfen der Konservatismus festgesetzt hatte.
Reynolds erzählt von der Explosion des Noisepop, von Shoegaze, Slackern und Grunge - von My Bloody Valentine und Sonic Youth, die mit atemberaubenden Sounds eine zweite Psychedelic-Welle entfachten, den Cocteau Twins und Slowdive, die in Traumwelten entführten. Außerdem treten auf: Dinosaur Jr., Björk, Pixies, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Felt, R. E.M., Hüsker Dü, Talulah Gosh, Big Black, Butthole Surfers, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Galaxie 500, Mercury Rev, Pavement, Stereolab, Stone Roses, Pussy Galore und viele mehr.
'Still in a Dream' ist der sehr persönliche Blick eines Journalisten, der damals als Autor diverser Musikmagazine dabei war, diese musikalischen Entwicklungen zu begleiten und ihnen Namen zu geben. Simon Reynolds beschwört die Magie der analogen Welt, bevor das Internet, Streaming und soziale Medien die Spielregeln der Musik für immer verändert haben. Ein Buch für alle, die sich fragen, was verloren ging - und was vielleicht nie ganz verschwunden ist.
