Out now! Jon Camp’s Proceed is here — a stunning record that digs deep into American folk roots while fearlessly pushing them into new and unexpected territory. Grounded, expansive, and full of heart.
Listen now and proceed into the sound. 😬

Really excited to announce this one. The label’s final release of 2026. Elsewhere from Agnes Martian.
Their new album builds on that spirit—born from synth experiments, acoustic textures, and far-flung collaborations.
It’s music for wandering minds and open hearts. 🌌✨

This autumn has been an exciting one w/ this trio, all of which recontextualize traditional sounds & instrumentation and present them through different lenses. I'm speaking of Michael Hix's Wonderful Aspiration of the Source, Jon Camp's 'Proceed,' and The Far Sound's 'To Heart, To Earth'.

Centripetal Force with another album that features pedal steel? I’m shocked.
The Far Sound has returned with a new record of dramatic and dreamy ambient country soundscapes and daring improvisation. Check it out and more of its first single, “Let Warmth Turn Inward” here: recordcratesunited.com/2025/09/26/t... @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Simmering psychedelic steel. Heck yeah
The Far Sound turns pedal steel away from country expectations for an LP that explores the simmer of psychedelics. The steel can’t help but pull its compass towards Western woes, but Pedrosa fills his landscapes with tangles of Rag, Turkish psych, & nods to Morricone & Seastones. bit.ly/3KfMpEI

‘To Heart, To Earth’ is the new album from The Far Sound, a project founded by Rick Pedrosa (Abronia, Federale etc)
The first reveal from the new album is “Let Warmth Turn Inward” - a track perfectly suited for this season of shifting colors and extended golden hours.

The second reveal from Wonderful Aspiration of the Source is a track titled “Deer Park.” It’s a song in which space speaks as powerfully as the notes themselves. Michael’s playing is delicate - but somehow also powerfully intense. “Deer Park” is currently streaming wherever you get your music. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
