As some of our CDs, vinyl and merch are shipped from Japan, we may be affected by this.

"Significant changes are coming to global tariffs that may affect how packages move between countries. Due to uncertainty around tariffs, many global mail carriers have suspended delivery to the United States.

Tariffs only apply to physical merchandise, not to digital sales.
Currently, there is an exception for “informational media” coming into the United States.

That includes vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, books, sheet music, and other items. Despite this exception, many global mail carriers have suspended shipments to the United States without regard to the contents of the package.

Apparel and other goods shipped to the United States ARE subject to tariffs (shirts, hoodies, hats, totes, etc.)." - Bandcamp

F**k the moron.

I started the indie label Accretions 40 years ago. Accretions is an artist-based, independent music label focused on experimental, improvisational, and global sounds.

I was living in San Diego, California at that time. A group of friends and I decided to start an arts and culture magazine, and we started collecting various materials: articles, poetry, short stories, art, photography and cartoons. We decided to include a flexi disc in the first issue so I produced a flexi disc by my friend's band Guam Caucus. However, that project fell apart. So, embracing the DIY spirit of the time, I started Accretions as a label.

Initially, we released a 7-inch single, cassettes, 12-inch LPs and CDs by my band Burning Bridges. In 1994, I released Marcelo Radulovich's debut album and began producing other artists in earnest. Marcelo and I then co-produced several titles and the label became better known. In 2000, the founding of the Trummerflora Collective spawned an increase in activity and the label flourished as a home for many unconventional artists. Since returning to Japan in 2008, I have continued Accretions with former collective members Hans Fjellestad and Damon Holzborn.

The music industry has changed dramatically over the past 40 years, but we continue to seek out exciting new sounds.

Our roster includes international artists Fred Frith, George E. Lewis, Carla Kihlstedt, Barre Phillips, Carl Stone, Bill Horist and Nortec Collective, as well as Japanese artists Seiichi Yamamoto, haco, Jyoji Sawada, Risa Takeda, Takashi Ueno, Yumiko Tanaka, Chu Makino and Shizka Ueda.
