  • Butthole Surfers - After The Astronaut

    Riding the least likely commercial success of the 90s with Modern Rock chart topper "Pepper," Austin odd rockers Butthole Surfers returned to the studio in 1998 for the followup, After The Astronaut. Leaning further into experiments with electronics, hip-hop, acid grooves, and the otherwise unusual, the result is a dizzying orbital trip expanding the idea of what's possible in rock music.

    Disputes between the Butthole Surfers and Capitol Records left the album unreleased, while the band regrouped and re-recorded some of the material for 2001's Weird Revolution, released through Hollywood Records. After The Astronaut collected dust, eventually developing a mythic status.

    A quarter century later, Butthole Surfers are realizing their vision for After The Astronaut. Newly mixed by guitarist/producer Paul Leary, After The Astronaut corrects the record on the band's activity in the late 90s with a bold, idiosyncratic evolution of their sun-fried psychedelia.

  • Godless America Mixtape Vol. 11 [various artists]

    Like the volumes before it, Vol. 11 is built from open submissions. Bands and artists from anywhere can send us what they’ve been working on, and the mixtape comes together from what lands in our inbox. No need to know somebody, be on the right label, or be part of the right scene. Send us your music and we’ll listen.

    The result is a mixtape shaped by whoever decides to throw their hat in: punk, hardcore, garage, noise, weirdo rock, and whatever else sounds good coming through a beat-up pair of speakers.

    That’s the whole point of the Godless America mixtapes—to make some room for bands we know, bands we’ve never heard of, and bands you’ve probably never heard of either, and put them all together on one piece of magnetic tape.

    Open submissions. No algorithms. No pay-to-play. Just music we want people to hear.

    Limited cassette run for Cassette Week 2026.

  • Andrew Nolan - Black Dogs

    Andrew Nolan invokes ill omen on Black Dogs

    Folk-horror inspired industrial dub featuring JK FLESH, Metalheadz artist Gremlinz + more

    No stranger to the world of industrial noise, Toronto-based Andrew Nolan has been especially prolific lately, producing a slew of notable solo work alongside collaborations with artists like Refused, Full of Hell and The Body.

    With a restrained minimalism, effective use of rich, analog synths, spatial mixing and expert pacing across its runtime, Black Dogs touches on industrial dub, hip-hop, drum & bass and downtempo electronic with assistance from Justin K Broadrick (GODFLESH) as JK FLESH, Metalheadz artist Gremlinz, and Sectra.

    Drawing inspiration from Nolan's obsession with north English folklore, the album is named for the vicious spectral hounds that are believed to be the spirits of unbaptized babies. A menacing crescendo of dread, beat, and bass-heavy tracks, Black Dogs uses animal sounds, junk metal, and feedback as sonic building blocks to create its grim, menacing soundscapes.

    "A reckless invocation of ill omen. All due respects paid to spectral hounds. Man is still the animal." - Andrew Nolan

    Andrew Nolan's Black Dogs (mastered by Justin K Broadrick) releases Friday, October 9th on limited CD, cassette, and digital from GIVE/TAKE and Avalanche Recordings.

  • Cosme - Grandes Exitos

    The story of Cosme is a mystery: a drunken anti-hero from another planet whose sole mission is to have fun. Born in Mexico during the pandemic, this project by Amaury Ochoa combines the dark punk of Misfits with synthesizers. Far from formulas, political slogans, and the futuristic aesthetic of traditional synth-punk, it offers confessional lyrics about postmodern anxiety, clashes with archaic ideas, and masculinity stereotypes, all blended with science fiction and Mexican literature. To celebrate Cassette Week 2026, FRZ presents his extraterrestrial synth-punk discography for the first time in Argentina. This edition includes five unreleased demos with updated titles, and the first copies come with an illustrated mini-zine.

  • A Magpie & A Crow - When Birds Wallow

    Birdsong, if the birds were diesel locomotives being driven through a junkyard patrolled by boomboxes mounted on robot dogs. Each of the boomboxes has a self-help tape permanently loaded into the tape deck, but the tapes have been played so very many times that only one word in four is audible. The whirring of the robot dog's legs and the degradation of the tapes will only let out the occasional "actualization of real potential" or "manifesting" before they spring on any intruders.

    So like that, but birdsong, get it?

  • Strange Pilgrim & Sunbathe - Duo EP

    "Duo EP" is the fruit of a collaboration between the Portland, OR based indie-rock bands Strange Pilgrim & Sunbathe. Josh Barnhart of Strange Pilgrim and Maggie Morris of Sunbathe have joined forces to rework three songs from each of their catalog into new duo versions - peeling back the layers and reimagining with album tracks with a palette of omnichords, drum machines, synthesizers, and guitars (of course!), all while bringing a newfound sense of discovery to the tracks.

    The EP was recorded at home by the duo, mixed by Cory Gray (Old Unconscious, The Delines, Fronjentress) , and mastered by David Glasebrook (Michael Nau, Sugar Candy Mountain, Sandy’s). Royal Oakie Records is proud to release the EP on Cassette/Digital this October 16th as part of Cassette Week 2026.

  • Nekomachi - no wonder • なるほど

    no wonder • なるほど is a collection of experimental ambient pieces by veteran Tokyo-based artist Nekomachi. Working entirely with a vintage Yamaha QY100 rather than modern computer-based tools, Nekomachi weaves field recordings, shimmering digital synths and chopped-up, glitched sequences into immersive and detailed sound worlds.

    Abstract in form, the album blurs the boundaries of genre and mood, shifting from open and expansive to playful and quasi-rhythmic; from hypnotic and meditative to what could only be described as synthetic lounge jazz.

    Nekomachi describes the pieces as fragments, created in spare moments over the course of six years, their origins now only partially remembered. The level of cohesion achieved by Nekomachi in fitting these fragments together is a testament to his talent and careful composition.

  • tsubai - ilulissat

    Following the release of 'We Were Here' under his indie rock and shoegaze moniker Stubai, Australian musician Matt Teffer turns towards completely different terrain with his debut ambient work as tsubai. Inspired by a journey to Greenland's Ilulissat Icefjord in July 2025, 'ilulissat' is a deeply immersive reflection on one of the planet’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.

    Named after the Greenlandic word for ‘icebergs’, the album captures the majesty and mystery of the icescapes of Ilulissat. Transfixed by the scale, shifting forms and colours of the icebergs, Matt returned home to Sydney inspired to translate his experience into sound.

    Using nothing but electric guitar as its sole sound source, ilulissat weaves vast, glacial soundscapes through meticulously layered recordings. Patient movements and stillness give way to emotional swells, evoking towering ice formations slowly emerging from the mist before opening into expansive, soaring passages reminiscent of a seabird sailing the arctic air above the fjord.

    Though shaped by the isolation of frozen icescapes, there are currents of warmth and humanity beneath ilulissat’s surface. Subtle melodies emerge from the myriad layers like light glowing and refracted through ancient ice. Composed on the opposite side of the world from the place that inspired it, tsubai carries the sense of wonder of Ilulissat across oceans and into sound.

  • Chaka Boy - A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska

    and sculpted by the ice-clad, boom-bap production of The Dirty Sample. The project plays out like a movie, where each song holds its own distinct merit within a greater overarching theme. Essentially, a horror film in audio format. The record is a testament to hard work, perseverance and Canadian rap craftsmanship. It creates a complete universe where primal fear and northern cold seamlessly become one.

  • Sansyou - The Song of Everything

    More guitars = more joy

    Sansyou offers The Song of Everything as evidence to support this claim. Three reimagined pieces from Every Living Thing are remixed plus a previously unreleased song from the sessions with all guitars taking center stage sans vocals.

    Intended as a companion release, the aim remains the same. Restore inner balance and peace through chord changes and melodies inspired by nature. In these instrumentals the guitars do the heavy lifting, leaving the listener free to levitate at will.

    As a featured release for Cassette Week 2026 worldwide (10/11-17), The Song of Everything is available exclusively in cassingle format on high fidelity ferric tape and all streaming platforms.

    The talents of photographer Michael Blank and Miki Hamano bring the artwork to life in perfect alignment with the vision in the sound. Tap into it now.

    Space Monkey Mafia and Minneapolis DIY legend Anita Velveeta team up for Weed Will Turn You Gay: a dense and frantic hyperska EP that combines influences from Eichlers, Sophie, and 100 gecs with candid songwriting and blunt lyricism to deliver something entirely different from either collaborator's previous work.

  • survey channel - Ecomediums

    𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺𝘀 questions the validity of repurposing of art and media. Constructed from disparate sources of MIDI, samples, layered ambient synthetics and a (mis)guided intuition, the music serves as an uninterrupted journey through a distorted digital 'elsewhere'— existing just outside the distractions prevalent in our social and technological climates.

    It's a spirit medium for the economically creative—those who sense meaning flickering in the recycled, the recovered, the re-imagined.

  • Touching Graas - NIXONOISE

    The inspiration for this album comes from the many parallels between the presidencies of Donald Trump and Richard Nixon, both who stoked the flames of white fear and racism to elevate themselves to the White House. Both men abused the powers of their office and committed crimes for which they will forever be remembered. It will take an inordinate amount of work to undo the damage both men have caused to the balance of equality between white Americans and Americans of color, but we should never give up the fight. Because giving up means you’ve let them win.

    No guitars, drums, or instruments of any kind were harmed in the making of these recordings. Only eardrums (including yours).
