Hania Rani’s original score for Joachim Trier’s award-winning film Sentimental Value is out now and available to order directly in the US via our store.

Designed by Veil Projects, the LP and CD editions feature photographs captured on set by Hania alongside notes from the scoring process and creative collaboration. The LP is pressed on BioVinyl and includes a fold-out poster-booklet featuring blueprints from the house seen in the film, while the CD edition is presented with an 8-panel fold-out sleeve.

A quick note for our US retail customers: due to customs-related delays affecting stock arrivals, the retail release date has moved to June 12. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing the album arrive in record shops next week.

Thank you for your support.

On Ep. 29 of our podcast, Jasmine Myra joins us to discuss her new album, Where Light Settles. She shares her process of writing, then recording the music with her band together in the same room, and the emotion of hearing the songs come to life through live instruments for the very first time.

Jasmine also reflects on her move to London, her continued collaboration with long-time musicians from the North of England, and her journey to becoming not only a musician, but an artist.

We’re very pleased to announce that Ancient Infinity Orchestra are releasing their vibrant and stirring third album, It’s Always About Liberation, on 24th July. A new record that moves into a darker, more searching emotional territory.

Bandleader Ozzy Moysey shares: “It’s Always About Liberation is a tribute to the sacred power of sound. Listening together shapes how we relate to one another, how we inhabit shared space, and that music affirms the power of sound to carry presence, responsibility, and connection, qualities essential to how we live and move within our communities. The album celebrates sound as a universal force for presence, connection, and empathy, reconnecting us to a shared human experience.”

The first single, Akshay, is out today. In Sanskrit, the name means “eternal.” The track reflects the enduring energy and presence of those who’ve passed, and who remain an inspiring and celebrated part of our lives.

➜ You can listen to Akshay and pre-order It’s Always About Liberation on LP, CD and digital download today via gondwana.lnk.to/ItsAlwaysAboutLiberation
