Details

**ON LTD ORANGE-IN-YELLOW VINYL**Naïm Amor and Kid Congo Powers met shortly before the pandemic in Tucson, Arizona. When the complete lockdowns hit everybody, Amor, like lots of other musicians, reclused himself in his studio and started experimenting with longtime ideas that were on the shelf. The initial idea was to combine rockabilly/garage-electric guitars with electronic drum machines and bass synthesizers, a vague intuition inspired by Link Wray’s guitar tones on one hand and the electronic rawness of the band Suicide on the other. After recording a couple tracks, Amor got the idea of inviting Kid Congo to collaborate in the making of some electric guitar “dialogs”. The tracks of Tucson Safari display the two different personalities and approaches of Amor and Kid Congo, both passionate electric guitar players, in the form of an exploration through composition and tone. The interwoven layers of guitars reveal the particular harmonic and melodic sense of Amor's sound “dancing” with the unmistakable slide and fuzzy tones of Kid Congo Powers.

**RED VINYL* After a massive 2024 that included the release of their second album Vol.2 and a US Tour, Naarm/Melbourne punks Split System are back, kicking off the new year with a new 7” On the Edge/On the Loose. The feeling of stress and anxiety permeates through both tracks. The opener is the sleazy, hardcore-infused On the Edge, featuring a pounding rhythm that mirrors the pressure of day-to-day life and the inevitable breakdown that awaits. Next, the sub-two-minute On the Loose delivers a catchy, high-energy garage- punk thumper about moving through life feeling like you’ve got a gun to your head.

C.O.F.F.I.N - 'CHILDREN OF FINLAND FIGHTING IN NORWAY'

Formats

• LEG006C - LP (COLOURED)

Details

**CHERRY VINYL** Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway aka C.O.F.F.I.N is an Australian punk band who have accepted the mental of their nation’s long legacy of greasy-haired, outback-scrounging, garage rock rumblers, blowing out eardrums and amps one stage at a time, while chiseling their name below those of Radio Birdman and The Hard-Ons in petrol station bathroom stalls across New South Wales and beyond. This latest self-titled album from C.O.F.F.I.N’s is their fourth LP overall and retains a lot of the attitude from their previous releases. It unleashes a raging rip of rock fury that blazes like a wildfire, kept alive and deadly by the bellow-like thump and growl of drummer and vocalist Ben Portnoy whirlwind conjuring percussion and libido-pumping leads and grooves of the band’s three guitarists, Abijah Rado, Arthur Flanders, and Aaron Moss.

C.O.F.F.I.N - 'PISS~UP'

Formats

• LEG044 - LP (COLOURED)

Details

**TRANSLUCENT YELLOW VINYL** Seven years ago C.O.F.F.I.N would enter Pet Food Factory 2.0 to record their seminal album Piss~Up. They would be one of the first bands to record in the newly self-built studio run by Jason Whalley and would mark the beginnings of a lasting relationship between Jay and the band. Featuring Ben Ulitzka Portnoy (vocals + drums), Abijah Rado (lead guitars + lap steel), Arthur Devo Flanders (guitars), Laurence Adams (bass), Ivor Rigney (yidaki / didge), and Aaron Moss (guest guitar) - the resulting record would unveil the band’s early explorations of grief, racism, mindless destruction, violence, and confrontations with Australian archetypes of manhood. With standout tracks: White Dog, Locals Only, Between The Flags, Done By The Dogs. Rather than announcing authority on these themes, Piss~Up reflected on the band’s positions within them, the challenge of recognising their own contributions, and the wish to collectively broaden themselves for the better. Unbeknownst to them at the time, C.O.F.F.I.N was sculpting their skill of drawing in unlikely crowds and conversation. An invitation for self-reflection, the chance to chat to each other, to consider the Other. It was the band’s first 12” vinyl and was self released to a limited run of 150 copies. However, the highly anticipated re-issue is finally here through Legless Records, accompanied by the fourth and final press of the band's self-titled Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway LP re-press.

LEATHERMAN - 'TURN YOU ON'

Formats

• LEG039G - LP (COLOURED)

• LEG039R - LP (COLOURED)

Details

**ON RED VINYL & GREEN VINYL** With ideas melted together in the bedroom studios of guitar obsessed nerds, songs forged in the rehearsal studios of Frankston, Yarraville and Brunswick, filed down in the best and loudest dive bars of Melbourne/Naarm, then refined, recorded and polished into their first full length record - rock’n’rollers Leatherman present to you their debut album “Turn You On” available now through Legless Records. The quintet features a lineup of rockers brought together via a love of melody-driven rock and roll - if you imagine the finest 70’s guitar-mony laden anthems, the stomp and gallop of 80’s metal gods and classic power pop hooks fused with modern kicks, perhaps you’ll get the idea. Jarrod Goon, Jake Laderman, Shauna Boyle and Ben Redlich each hold rock and roll resumes of note, while new-comer Annabel Brown punches in with a voice that gets you wondering “where have you been all my life?” Rollins quotes: “I do not know anything about this band” “It’s really really cool”.

SŁAWOMIR ZUBRZYCKI - 'VIOLA ORGANISTA: MONOLOGUES & DIALOGUES'

Formats

• LTR055 - CD

  4066004773070

Details

Polish pianist, claviolinist, composer, and instrument builder SŁAWOMIR ZUBRZYCKI announces the release of his new album Viola Organista: Monologues & Dialogues, a landmark recording that brings to life one of the most enigmatic inventions in the history of music: the viola organista, a long-forgotten bowed keyboard instrument originally sketched by Leonardo da Vinci. Produced by Nils Frahm and featuring works by Dowland, Marais, J.S. Bach, and others, the album will be released on October 24 on CD and across all digital platforms. Da Vinci’s cryptic drawings from the Codice Atlantico depict a keyboard instrument whose strings are bowed by a continuous wheel system. The viola organista is not an imitation of the organ, nor a surrogate for the viola da gamba. Its sound hovers in a liminal sonic zone: a bridge between the tactile intimacy of string instruments and the structural elegance of keyboards. The instrument was never built by Leonardo, but the idea proved curiously immortal, inspiring some 200 iterations over the centuries under names such as Geigenwerk, Bogenklavier, Lyrichord, and Clavier-gamba. Only in 2013, after years of historical research and planning, did Zubrzycki succeed in building a fully functional viola organista. Unlike conventional instrument makers, who follow centuries-old traditions, Zubrzycki built his first version with little more than Renaissance sketches and a fierce belief in artistic autonomy. “If you're a violin or piano maker, you follow the laws of violin or piano making. But I needed to be somewhere in between. I had to follow my own imagination. That same imagination guided Zubrzycki from the practical task of restoring his student piano in 1980s Kraków to building the clavichord, a similarly overlooked instrument, in the 1990s. As of today, he has completed three viola organistas, each one unique, adorned with visual emblems inspired by Florentine grotesques, Leonardo’s sepia-toned sketches, and papyrus-like textures. His journey has now culminated in a collaboration with visionary producer Nils Frahm at LEITER’s Funkhaus studio in Berlin, a recording space rich in both historical resonance and sonic subtlety. “Nils doesn’t rush,” says Zubrzycki. “There’s time for everything. He listens deeply. This instrument needs that kind of space.” The result is Viola Organista: Monologues & Dialogues, an album as rare and compelling as the instrument itself.
