🌫️📼 Out now! Heralded Portland deep-enders Pete Swanson (Yellow Swans) and Ilyas Ahmed meet at the frayed, grey margins for their debut collaboration ‘Things Left Unseen’—a split-sided document born of a twenty-year friendship and the raw tension of the unknown. Swanson’s concrete-scraping electronic fractures and Ahmed’s solitary, dust-caked nocturnal guitar devotion find a rare, unhurried space of shared stillness. Together, these pieces form a devastating reflection of human fragility—an album of immense gravity and a quiet, terrifyingly beautiful document of two masters staring directly into the dark.

Available now digitally and on limited Heavy Dusk cassette tape.

🌀🌫️ Out now! An enigmatic slab of pitch-bent esoterica from Brooklyn-by-way-of-Belgium singer, songwriter, and composer @charlottejacobsmusic A single free-flowing, vocal-driven arrangement, “Word Passed the Time” unfolds with a patient, deliberate grace not far removed from the mutability of a contemporary dance performance. Jacobs builds with a tactile hand, weaving delicate synth textures into the rhythmic skeletons of her machines to create a hallucinatory uncertainty, all the while allowing her layered vocals to edge closer to some sort of avant-pop ’truth’. The sound of time, held and folding.

Available now digitally and on limited Static Blush cassette tape.

30 years in the same orbit, finally colliding in the dark. Brian Foote (Peak Oil, Leech) and Paul Dickow (Strategy, Community Library) join Geographic North as Foote/Dickow with ‘High Cube.’ A record built on the skeletal remains of restraint: five instruments, one-hour timer, a total ban on overthinking. Tethered to nothing but the ether, ‘High Cube’ is a masterclass in the theater of the uncanny—moody, complex, and decidedly chunky. Neither dance nor chill-out; rather a permanent fall of color. A love letter to the machine, scribed in the static of a lifetime.

Out March 27th. Stream the single “Volcano Snail” 🐌 and preorder the LP on Raw Porcelain vinyl with multi fluorescent-colored sleeve shipping in mid-April. by @geographicnorth

🫂 REPRESS. Foote/Dickow’s ‘High Cube’ reemerges, this time on Machined Graphite vinyl. To mark the descent, the second single “Underwater Welder” is now live. A foggy, neon-lit cruise of skittering low-ends suspended in a low-end architecture of a haunted dream. 

Copies of the first pressing on Raw Porcelain vinyl will be available in the finest shops world wide come early-April.

after some 30 years of playing together in various configs, paul and I are releasing our first album as a duo. I have jammed many many hours with many many people but none as numbered as w our boy, strategy; so it’s fitting this record is a snapshot of us first thought best thoughting it and forcibly leaving it alone for once. thanks to @bobbypower and @farbodkokabi for presenting it as deluxe as @geographicnorth does. foote/dickow ‘high cube’ lp out 3/27 by @geographicnorth
