Adan has been working hard talking with artists all over the country to bring in some really cool music to the shop.

This week, St. Louis-based violinist, Alex Cunningham, was kind enough to send a whole bunch of different releases on multiple formats! All available in the shop and on our site now!

More info on the latest release, Axe:
“Axe” presents seven improvisations for acoustic violin that push the instrument to its furthest sonic extremes. Overdriven bowing and alternate tunings unlock visceral harmonic palettes and textural passages that present the violin as a completely alien sound device before veering into guttural references to various musical traditions. This is the sound of free improvisation, harsh noise, and American fiddle music linking hands to fall down the stairs. Alex Cunningham is a violinist, improviser, and visual artist based in St. Louis, MO. His recorded output spans free improvisation, drone, noise, and minimalist composition.
