we are very proud of the contributions we have received! Check out TLMP17 and download the album here. Please consider
buying the album on CD for only €6 including worldwide shipping. Your support is greatly appreciated!

21.05.09 - Boe album reuploaded! more>>
By some kind of human error, the original zip-file containing the Boe album "Low Harbour" had a slight quality issue. Not a big one, but
by coincidence we discovered that the sound level of the MP3-files were much lower than they should. We have put up a new version of the album,
this time with peak levels more suitable for loud listening. We apologize for the inconvenience and invite you to download the album again if you
find the original download to be a bit quiet. This new version is also a slightly smaller download, due to the original files being encoded in CBR
rather than VBR.
15.05.09 - Kanin Krusete and Boe out today! more>>
Today we release two brand new albums, both free MP3 downloads! "Low Harbour" is the debut
from multi-instrumentalist Børre Myklebust, resident of our home town Bergen, Norway. The album contains six tracks of improvised music
based on percussion, guitars and bass. "Like A Thing" is the new album from Kanin Krusete (US). Download the albums now and have a listen! If you wish to support Twilight Luggage, please consider buying the albums
on CD-R for a measly €6 including worldwide shipping.
01.05.09 - New Flesh Coffin CD-R released and other news! more>>
Another extremely limited CD-R release comes your way. "Curtains" is Flesh Coffins first
full length album. It contains two long séances of harsh noise. Packaged in a slipcase, this album comes with a A4-sized poster and
a button, all limited to 30! The price is a measly €8,- and includes shipping to every corner of the earth. Shipping to other
planets may incur an astronomical handling fee.
In other news, we finally have our own offices and studios! Sounds grand, but in reality it is one 19 square meter (about 200 sq ft to you Americans) room. We are moving in this weekend, and hope to be properly installed within a short while. Yay.

28.04.09 - New releases announced! more>>
The next few months will see several new releases on the Twilight Luggage label. First out is a new CD-R from Flesh Coffin on May 1, titled

Krusete and Boe both release MP3-albums for free download, titled "Like A Thing" and "Low Harbour" respectively. On June 1, the
long announced Larmoyant live-album, "Live At Robot" will finally see the light of day, also a free MP3 release. Our last album to be
announced today is the collection "Summer Solstice". We have asked many of our favorite artists to contribute to this free MP3 album to
follow our winter release, "Winter Solstice". The release date is, of course, June 21. More details to follow, but this already looks to
be a killer collection! Stay tuned.
01.04.09 - Vomir/Flesh Coffin split CD-R out now! more>>

amazing album. TLMP13 can be downloaded for free from HERE. This album will also be available to buy

01.02.09 - Torture Gnosis out now! more>>
We are very proud to release an album that is a not only a collaboration between two very talented artists, but also a collaboration
between two labels. Torture Gnosis is a duo consisting of Andreas Brandal and Dave Obm. On their self-titled debut album you get a unique blend of
True Sheffield Black Psychedelia and experimental weirdness from the deep, cold woods of Norway. Andreas is from Bergen, Norway, and co-runs
Twilight Luggage. Dave is from Sheffield, England and co-runs the Frequency Thirteen label.
The album is a split release between the two labels. It will be available in 2 different CD-R versions: An unlimited version in a plastic sleeve, and a digipak version with a different cover, limited to 50 copies. These are available from Frequency Thirteen. The album also comes as a free download available from Twilight Luggage, released as TLMP12.
We are a bit late with promised news about the label, but we would like to welcome aboard our new staff-member, Jarle Nordvik. Some of you will recognize him as a contributor to our Winter Solstice collection. From now on he will also contribute to the work that is put down in developing Twilight Luggage further as a label. We have great plans for 2009!

15.01.09 - Nihil Obstat - "Empire" out now! more>>
Today is Twilight Luggage's 1 year anniversary. It is 1 year since our first release, and we celebrate the occasion by releasing our
12th free MP3-album and launching our anniversary sale. First things first; TLMP11 is "Empire" by Nihil Obstat.
As usual, the zip-file includes high-quality artwork and high-bitrate MP3s. This album is also our first release using a Creative Commons license.
We hope to implement this license on a wider scale soon.
We have also decided to cut the price on most of our CD-R releases (2 out of 3 ain't bad). TLCD02 and TLCD04 are now only €10,- including worldwide shipping! Remember that these are limited editions - when they're gone, they're gone! There are still a few copies left of Andreas Brandal - "Insects" - €15,- including worldwide shipping. That's a great deal too on an album that's limited to only 21 copies! More news to follow after a staff meeting tomorrow.

13.01.09 - First release in 2009 out soon and more! more>>
On January 15 we mark our 1 year anniversary with a brand new, free MP3-album. This years first release is the album "Empire"
by Nihil Obstat. Read more about TLMP11! It has been a great year and we look forward to an even greater 2009! Come back on
January 15 for Nihil Obstat, our anniversary sale and exciting news about Twilight Luggage!
21.12.08 - Last release of the year out now! more>>
This years last release is also our first compilation. TLMP10 is a celebration of the winter solstice,
and includes 12 tracks from 9 artists released on Twilight Luggage this year, as well as 3 other artists we hope to include in our roster soon!

25.11.08 - The new server is up! more>>
If you can read this, the move is complete!
23.11.08 - E-MAIL IS WORKING AGAIN! more>>
We can now receive e-mail again. We are moving hosts to resolve the utter mess that has been our server for almost a year.
Our new host is a reliable one (unlike Needhost.dk). The servers are stable and we are fairly sure download speeds will improve vastly.
We can only assume Needhost.dk is out of business, as they haven't responded to support-tickets for weeks. The move is in progress and
will most likely be completed some time next week. A short period of downtime may occur while DNS-servers across the world do their
updating, but we trust this will be largely unnoticeable. And in case you are looking for hosting: AVOID NEEDHOST AT ALL COST. Even if
they should rise from the ashes, we wouldn't trust them for a split second. Unreliable, unresponsive and they still owe us 3 months worth
of hosting! In case you haven't already, now would be a great time to donate a few euros or dollars or baht using the button on the left -
our new hosting plan costs four times as much as the old one (but worth every penny!), and we are still paying for everything out of our own
pockets. Thanks :)
17.11.08 - E-MAIL PROBLEMS more>>
We are experiencing severe e-mail problems. We can not receive mail at the moment. Please have patience.
The site is still very unstable and downloads are difficult, to say the least. Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
14.11.08 - TLMP09 out now more>>
Matt Henshaw - "Twilight Year" is now available as a free download!
Unfortunately, we are experiencing serious server issues right now. The site is very unstable and downloads may be
difficult. We apologize for any inconvenience.
25.09.08 - TLMP08 is now available more>>
Jliat - "So What Do You Think I Should Do?" is now available as a free download.
Enjoy!
22.09.08 - Jliat releases new album on Twilight Luggage more>>
We are very proud to present "So What Do You Think I Should Do?", the new album from Jliat, aka James Whitehead.
The release is a FREE album in mp3 format and will be available from September 25. Here the acclaimed british composer presents
one long track that explores the more chaotic side of his composing. This is surely one of the noisiest albums available from
Twilight Luggage so far. Those of you unfamiliar with Jliat's work can learn more here:

01.09.08 - Late but good! more>>
The new Andreas Brandal album is now available for free download. The CD-R version is also available
to order for a measly €15 including worldwide postage! Not bad for a CD and a framed, original drawing,
signed and numbered by the artist!
27.08.08 - New Andreas Brandal album on September 1 more>>
What would it sound like if insects made music? "Insects" is a collection of creepy, sneaking sounds.
The tracks are rapidly shifting focus through elements of raw noise, delicate ambient soundscapes, clicks and crispy
tones, loops and samples, doomish drones and perhaps even a touch of naive, spacey pop tunes.
This album comes in 2 versions:
The MP3 version contains 6 tracks (the 15 minute track "The Two Injuries" is omitted from the MP3-version). It is free to download, with high quality MP3's and artwork.
The CD-R version comes enclosed in a frame, with an original drawing by Andreas Brandal, signed and numbered. This version contains 7 tracks, and is limited to only 21 copies. Please contact us prior to ordering to ensure that we still have copies left in stock!
