27.06.11 - Silver Amphibian by Hermetic Brisk out! more>>
Hermetic Brisk is a duo from Sarajevo (Bosnia) consisting of Neven Smrznik and Ela Vuk. You might also know them from the Zvukovina label, which they co-run with TL's own Andreas Brandal. Silver Amphibian sounds like harsh noise robots from long forgotten times lost in eternity, with a psychotic damsel in distress calling out encoded messages through the dronescape of failing engines and space debris. Yep, that should cover it.
Available as both free download and CD-R for a measly €6 (world wide shipping included).
13.06.11 - Riitual Moon by Peiiste reissued more>>
Riitual Moon is a monolith of harsh noise wall from the duo Peiiste of Louisiana, USA. The album was recorded live on the evening of Winter Solstice 2010, and it was originally released as a c63 cassette on the label Human Ignorance. We are thrilled to be able to bring this gem to a wider audience!
This version comes with new artwork, and is now available as both free download and CD-R. Enjoy!
30.05.11 - Mono Chrome by Joey Chainsaw out! more>>
Joey Chainsaw has a catalogue of weirdness dating back to 2004. Much of it is self released, but you'll also find him on labels such as Dead Pilot, Striate Cortex, Gold Soundz and the excellent German output Glowing Fingers. Joey himself describes Mono Chrome as "a homage to grey area music". Grainy, muffled, improvised drones and sounds of unknown origin melt together in wonderful otherness. True outsider noise from the United Kingdom!
Available as a free MP3 download & on CD-R for €6 (world wide shipping included).
16.05.11 - The revival of Vulhvah! more>>
As you know, we at Twilight Luggage are mighty proud of all the releases we bring you, but every once in a blue moon a truly mind-blowing opportunity comes along.
Bigger Than The Junipers is an immensely impressive document on 90's Norwegian experimental music. 16 tracks from 1995 - 1997, documenting one of the most unique and fascinating entities of the Norwegian (or any) history of soundwork. All tracks have been remastered and hand picked by the band themselves. The CD-R version comes with a 8 page fanzine presenting Vulhvah in text and images, and includes liner notes written by Jon Øyvind Lærum (Continental Fruit). The 'zine is included in the download as a PDF file.
If you have the slightest interest in old-school experimental weirdness, or have a sweet tooth for the likes of Nurse With Wound and irr. app. (ext.) you will not regret buying a copy of this, you'll not regret buying TWO, and you'll certainly not regret downloading it for free.
Available as a free MP3 download & on CD-R for 6 € (world wide shipping included).

18.04.11 - Zverstvo by Sirotek released! more>>
Sirotek is a one man project by Vitaly Malygin, based in Yaroslavl, Russia. Analogue, old-school chaos. Drones, bleeps and thick, crumbling sounds. This is what characterizes Zverstvo. To quote Sirotek himself: "Intense and furious struggle of steady structures and uncontrollable chaotic explosions, pulsations, sound spasms. Extreme, severe, but amazing travel through infinite corridors of dead reason." Who are we to argue?

04.04.11 - The Central Stasis Volume by Epilektrician is released! more>>
The Central Stasis Volume is not music - it is a consequence of music. The new album from Epilektrician is a piece constructed from more than 3000 samples from almost 1000 artists, randomly triggered close to 200 000 times. A strange listening experience, but also a very intense one, compressing hundreds of thousands of listening hours down to little more than an hour. As always, we here at Twilight Luggage are very happy to be the home of yet another exciting release.

21.03.11 - purely natural abstract radiance from chefkirk! more>>
What first struck us about purely natural abstract radiance is its exquisite blend of organic and electronic sounds. It is a fantastic collection of drone, harsh electronics and samples, perfectly melted together for a rare and unexpected set of moods that will keep you on the edge throughout the whole album. Repeated listenings always uncover something new and fresh. Like one of the track titles says: A virtuosic demonstration of incredible range! chefkirk gives life to the electrical current trapped inside the mixing board’s circuits, allowing the signal to jump, sputter, and spit forth from the speakers to captivate and immobilize the listener.

07.03.11 - Armageddon Polaroid by Torba is out! more>>
We are happy to present you with the latest release from Torba, yet another Berlin based artist. You might think that we are trying to start some kind of Berlin festival here, but we're not. Honestly. Still, it shouldn't really come as a surprise that a lot of excellent sounds are coming out of Berlin; it's been known to happen. Armageddon Polaroid is a great set of works comprised of swirling sounds and bleak moods, conceived through a wide range of methods, including tape loops, radios, microphones and various home made equipment. The album flawlessly combines the electronic and the organic, constantly evolving and giving you plenty of surprises along the way. Now go get it!

21.02.11 - Manual Phobia by Exploded Star Sad Servant out! more>>
Our second release this February is Manual Phobia by Exploded Star Sad Servant. Exploded Star Sad Servant is a moniker of Artem Bezukladnikov from Berlin, Germany. He has previously contributed to our Winter Solstice 3 compilation with his project Kema, and we are very happy that he has chosen to release more excellent material on our label. Manual Phobia is an extremely hypnotic piece of drone that gradually removes your frames of reference and leaves you drifting in and out of the void, inducing a sense of tranquility and anxiety at the same time. Enjoy!

We continue our 2011 hit parade with Uvesen, the self titled debut album from errr....well... Uvesen. Uvesen is a collaboration between Børre Myklebust (Boe) and Andreas Brandal, performing improvisation/drone/noise with drums, percussion, guitars, synth and electronics. Highly original, brilliantly performed, and ingeniously crafted. We told you this would be a great year.

10.01.11 - Roro Perrot opens 2011! more>>
We are confident that 2011 will be a great year for TL, and we have found the perfect way to kick off this year's hit parade.
We are beyond proud to present you with a collection of degenerated sounds from Roro Perrot, Romain Perrot's other dark half. To repeat what we said the last time we exposed you to this kind of madness: "If you think the bleak HNW of Vomir shows the dark side of Romain Perrot, think again...This is Scum Impro Core!".

15.11.10 - Orfeo by Tonino Taiuti is out! more>>
Fortunately for all of us, Tonino Taiuti has granted Twilight Luggage the privilege of releasing his new album, Orfeo. Tonino is one half of Italian duo Zero Centigrade, who released the excellent "I'm Not Like You" on Twilight Luggage earlier this year. On his solo album "Orfeo", Tonino presents seven tracks where masterful guitar improvisation is the main ingredient. Aided by voice and various object sounds, these alien guitar pieces create a wonderful, hypnotizing mood. By the time the last note rings out, you'll find yourself wondering where the hell the last 40 minutes went.

01.11.10 - Boe is back! more>>
We are happy to announce that our fellow Bergensian Boe is back with another fine collection of nautical nightmares, entitled The Haul. Boe uses drums, percussion, guitar and vocals to conjure up images of creaking ships drifting across a black sea to meet their certain doom, while a malevolent presence lurks beneath the surface. There is a strong sense of the open vastness of the submarine world, but at the same time a claustrophobic feeling of being pulled under and totally engulfed and devoured by the bottomless darkness.
Enjoy this atmospheric and brilliant piece of improvisation! As usual, it is both available as a free MP3 download & on CD-R for 6 € (world wide shipping included).

27.09.10 - AC/AB split available today more>>
AC/AB is a split album from the gruesome twosome Andrew Coltrane and Andreas Brandal. Andrew Coltrane throws you straight into the center of a raging, pulsating tornado, destroying everything in its way. Fragments of the world as you knew it whistle past your ears like deadly debris. The wind calms and Andreas Brandal takes you along for the aftermath. Walking in the rubble, the world is barely recognizable; twisted and broken, a cold, bleak and dead version of itself. Let the good times roll.
Enjoy this fine collaboration, as usual both available as a free MP3 download & on CD-R for a measly 6 € (world wide shipping included).

13.09.10 - The Golem walks again more>>
Once again the resident abomination Lupus Golem stomps its heavy feet. Typhaon is brutal and chaotic, pounding relentlessly on your sensory system. It will leave you confused and bruised, yet strangely invigorated. This is what Lupus Golem does.
12.09.10 - Fundraiser + An opportunity to do good more>>

30.08.10 - Depress by Dementia And Hope Trails released today more>>
We are very happy to announce the release of Depress by Dementia And Hope Trails. Dementia And Hope Trails is the new ambient/drone moniker of Justin Marc Lloyd, who should be well known to many of you through his numerous releases as Sensible Nectar, and for his wonderful label Rainbow Bridge.
Depress is a piece of brilliantly executed ambient guitarwork, slowly building a wave of sound that sucks you in and sweeps you far away before you realize what is happening. And when you do, there's no place you'd rather be.
Watch this space for more awesomeness.

It's A Lunken is a long time favourite of the TL crew, and it is with great pleasure and a not insignificant amount of pride we present you with their latest album, Bound.
Hypnotic, chaotic, ethereal, quirky and at times downright scary; grim darkness and stunning beauty seemingly effortlessly combined to create a massive monument of sound. You never know exactly what to expect from It's A Lunken, but you should always expect something good. You will love this. Promise.

Awright! We are back, and we mean business. We have a bunch of great releases lined up for you this fall, starting with Critical Theatre's Psych Burn; six relentless walls of pure psychedelic reverb and overdrive nightmares. Excellent stuff!
Originally we had two releases scheduled for today, but the release of the It's A Lunken album has been postponed by one week and is now scheduled for release on the 23rd of August. Sorry about that, but don't worry, it'll be worth the wait. The Critical Theatre album should keep you busy the next week or so anyway, so I guess you'll be ok. Stay tuned!

21.06.10 - Happy summer solstice! more>>
Have we got a treat for you today! Or more precisely: two treats. First, as you probably have become accustomed to, Twilight Luggage celebrates the solstices with a compilation of wonderful sounds. We have invited a selection of artists to contribute, and they have certainly not let us down. 11 tracks of sonic mastery; you should get your copy of Summer Solstice 2 now. There is really no reason not to.
As promised, we have a second treat for you today, and quite a treat it is. We are very proud to present you with the first full length solo album from André Foisy. André is probably well known to many of you as one half of Locrian. Seven Thrones is a flawlessy executed piece of guitar work, sure to leave you breathless. The album comes on pro printed CD-Rs in a slipcase wallet, sealed within a spray painted, hand made bag made of smooth fabric. Very limited edition, so you'd better move fast!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
