Ahead of the release of their new album Regards / Ukłony dla Bogusław Schaeffer, out May 20th, Matmos have shared the single "Cobra Wages Shuffle / Off! Schable w gurę!".

Listen to "Cobra Wages Shuffle / Off! Schable w gurę!" now

A steady but profound cornucopia of sound, the piece effortlessly slips between squelching grooves, glitched syncopations, and ethereal pads punctuated by abstracted horn stabs. Matmos' imprint is immediately recognizable for its rhythmic propulsion and a command of surprise as the snippets cut up from Bogusław Schaeffer's catalog give a fascinating glimpse into the sheer breadth and variety in his compositions.

Regards / Ukłony dla Bogusław Schaeffer is available to preorder now on limited-edition LP and CD.

Following the new album's release, Matmos will be touring Europe this June, including special residencies, performances, and an appearance at Ephemera Festival in Warsaw, the sister festival of renowned contemporary music promoter Unsound and a perfect staging for a performance with its roots in the Polish avant-garde.

Jon Porras has shared the single "In a Garden" from his upcoming album Arroyo, out May 20th.

Listen to "In a Garden" now

Porras spent the year leading up to 2020 living nomadically across Europe where he was able to soak in a deep appreciation for the effortless beauty of overgrown gardens, the basic principles of classical architecture and a more transient sensibility. The track pulls into focus the multi-instrumentalist's return to his musical origins with the piano as a central voice speckling stately melodic figures across wispy atmospherics, like flowers peeking out from under a mist.

Jon Porras' Arroyo is out May 20th, and is available to pre-order now on limited-edition clear LP.

Luminary guitarist, academic and curator Glenn Jones has announced new album Vade Mecum, due out June 24th.

Listen to first single "Away" now

Jones is a unique player in the world of solo guitar music, steeped in both American Primitive guitar as well as rock and experimental music. Endlessly curious, he has spent the better part of four decades exploring the boundaries of expression and storytelling with the guitar and banjo.

On Vade Mecum, Jones draws on his personal history to tell stories with elaborate musical detail and emotional weight, exploring the complexity of personal experience, emotions and our shared histories.

Vade Mecum is available to pre-order now on limited-edition red vinyl.
