Riddles by James Bird is finally yours today. Written and recorded over six years, the immersive story-album acts as a gateway into ancient enchanted groves inhabited by mythological figures. A mytho-poetic, ethereal folk feast, Riddles dives unabashedly into the burning existential questions that gnaw at the corners of the deep psyche. The stunning album is available on limited edition 12″ vinyl and across all digital platforms.

James Bird is on the road! Catch a show. Folks in MA, join us tomorrow night for the Riddles release party at The Hidden Temple.

“ridiculous” by Ayla Loon is out everywhere now, ahead of their upcoming album sea turtle notebook, which drops November 13.

The track’s woozy pads and glossy keys float between spatters of textural, high-bpm percussion, driving the song toward the dance floor (with moments to catch your breath). Ayla Loon’s ethereal vocals shine across their bounding melodies, landing on the central motif: “You said that loving you’s ridiculous. I disagree, I disagree.”

Thanks to David Dean Burkhart for sharing “ridiculous” on Compact Cassette! You can hear the track across all platforms.

To mark the ninth anniversary since we launched this label, we’re proud to share The Capsule, an audio collage of phone recordings to raise funds for Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Assembled from phone recordings taken by artists and friends between 2016 and 2026, this audio collage preserves moments like a time capsule, but not one to bury — these recordings have already been buried. This is actually their unearthing. Download it via Bandcamp.
