Edition: more infoJIM HAYNES – Inauspicious LP
$32.00Add to cartIn a recent interview, the California artist Jim Haynes was asked to name his top five noise albums. In quick fashion, he listed off Kill The King, Send, Desnos, Persona, and Carcinosi. Since then, he’s equivocated on which albums to choose, but the artists behind such works remain as the adjacent signposts and landmarks to …
MURMER – Tether LP
$30.00Add to cartMurmer is the long-standing project of American/Estonian field recordist and composer Patrick McGinley, and with Tether, The Helen Scarsdale Agency welcomes Murmer back to our roster, over a decade since he graced us with his last production for the Agency.

HAURAS – Pervades CS
$13.00Add to cartHead to the western neighborhoods of San Francisco, and the city becomes a very quiet place after midnight. By 3am, one can almost hear the fog spilling past the sodium lights that illuminate a lonesome street corner at Judah and 15th. Whatever soundtracks that emerge from that time and that place inevitably embody that nocturnal …
VERTONEN – Einige Schadstoffe CS
$13.00Add to cartIn Einige Schadstoffe, we have quite the potent homage to the classic era of industrial noise. Think Throbbing Gristle’s Second Annual Report, Come’s I’m Jack, MB’s Symphony For A Genocide, and even Nord’s Ego Trip. The sentiment linking all of these records is a clinical detachment in the production and broadcast of scalding tone, sickly …
JUNK DNA – Kopa Kopa 2CS
$22.00Add to cartBorn and raised in wilds of California, Pyle has recently been splitting his time in Vilnius, Lithuania, with his Junk DNA debut Kopk Kopa contemplating his time and place within Lithuania.

PINKCOURTESYPHONE – Shouting at Nuance 2LP
$40.00Add to cartPinkcourtesyphone is the pseudonym for the Los Angeles based minimalist Richard Chartier. Under this moniker, Chartier indulges in an emotional torpor through his hauntological compositions for forgotten dreams with an opiated grandeur and subtle application of certain nostalgic camp. Shouting At Nuance was originally published as part of the instantly out of print On Corrosion …
STELZER/MURRAY – Commit LP
$25.00Add to cartThe third production from the Stelzer/Murray project hits a sweet spot of slippery, industrial occultation that harkens back to an almost forgotten period of music from the late ’80s and early ’90s. Think Cranioclast, Arcane Device, Phauss, Small Cruel Party, Organum, and pretty much everything from the Quiet Artworks label. Exquisitely composed and overtly nocturnal …
ANA FOSCA – Poised At the Edge of Structure CD
$17.00Add to cartAna Fosca has emerged as presence to be reckoned with. Here stands a woman raging, wrestling, communing, and plainly preoccupied with the humanity’s propensity for tragedy, violence, and blight. And it is with a particular strain of noise – one that is dour, miserable, frightening – through which she harnesses these conditions. While her catalogue …
RK FAULHABER – Dugong Weeps CS
$12.00Add to cartIt is true that RKFaulhaber’s discography of published work is ludicrously scant. It is also true that Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound) and Matthew Waldron (irr. app. (ext.)) have both tried to pull Faulhaber out of obscurity, but have thus far been unsuccessful. And it is true that for 30 years, Faulhaber has toiled in …
HAURAS – The Glare of the Nave CS
$12.00Add to cartHauras returns to the Helen Scarsdale Agency for a second missive of blurred and broken song. The name translates from Finnish as ‘fragile,’ and that remains an apt psychological space for the construction and composition of The Glare Of The Nave. Howard Ryan, the San Francisco citizen behind the Hauras moniker, composed this album in …
KROVOPUSKANIE – Goner CS
$12.00Add to cartBloodletting is how Krovopuskanie translates from Russian, the native tongue of the man behind this project of morose electronics and death-industrial gloom. He asked to remain “half anonymously,” and we’ll comply with that request, as he finds much of his personal life trivial when compared to the existential torpor his work speaks through: mental illness, …
JEFF SURAK – All Those Born Must Die CS
$12.00Add to cartThe investigative sound artist Jeff Surak is quick to point out that this title should not be interpreted in a negative sense. Merely a neutral observation. In fact, themes of detached inquest about disintegration have been quite welcome here at The Helen Scarsdale Agency. Surak has been a fixture within the experimental community for many …
KLEISTWAHR – Winter LP
$23.00Add to cartAvailable through the Helen Scarsdale Agency: $18.00 Kleistwahr is the solo project of Gary Mundy, the legendary power electronic and noise-rock musician who is a founding member of Ramleh and runs the highly influential Broken Flag label. Solemn drones and elegiac long-form passages gird Kleistwahr’s Winter, which often chimes, glistens, and glows through a unhurried …
VERTONEN – Broken Air CS
$13.00Add to cartVertonen is the work of Blake Edwards, a veteran of the Chicago noise and experimental scene. With close to 100 releases many of them published through his own Crippled Intellect Productions and Ballast imprints spread over several decades, Edwards has finetuned his craft of cryptically inclined, electronic invocations that might channel the raw brutality of …
EKIN FIL – Coda LP
$25.00Add to cartIn recent years, the Turkish drone-pop composer Ekin Fil (born Ekin Üzeltüzenci) has been refining her talents in the realm of the film score. Since her first recordings that were published by Root Strata and Students of Decay, she has always exhibited a preternatural ability to express the saddest of emotions through sound. Once channeled …
HAURAS – In These Coming Days CS
$10.50Add to cartHauras is the newly christened project for Howard Ryan, an idiosyncratic San Francisco musician who had previously operated under the Snickers moniker. This new name Hauras translates from the Finnish as ‘fragile,’ and a certain fragility exists as a dialectic condition to Ryan’s strange sounds. The argument could be made that Ryan is a deconstructionist …
FOSSIL AEROSOL MINING PROJECT – The Recounting of Night Time CD
$15.50Add to cartFor over three decades now, the Fossil Aerosol Mining Project has patiently sifted through the damaged remains and bygone refuse from the late 20th century pop culture of America. Mining the snippets of audio found from abandoned drive-in theaters, mangled VHS tapes, and discarded cassettes, Fossil Aerosol studiously pieces together empathic, haunted abstractions of their …
