Friday 16th March saw the publication of our latest release, 'Somacopia DeFacto' by experimental artists Anthony Donovan and {AN} EeL (Neale D. Retke). By turns playful and brutal, Somacopia DeFacto is an uncompromising journey into the psyche and is strictly for the adventurous. Fiercely experimental, the album comprises three parts, each made up of multiple …
News from the Conning Tower: Exhibition
So much news, so few typing fingers! OK, Exhibition. Exhibition is the name of our 2018 'open' compilation. There are three strands to the compilation, Red, Green and Blue: Red is the most experimental and challenging, Green is predominantly instrumental or ambient, and Blue is rock, post-rock, pop, electronica and so on. We're accepting entries …

Out Today: t.r. hand ‘Folke Meditation’
We are really excited to present the debut album from t.r. hand, 'Folke Meditation'. Relatively little is known about t.r. hand; we received a somewhat cryptic press release from his (?) intermediaries at Glove of Bones, which had the (presumably intentional) effect of leaving us knowing less about t.r. than before we'd read it. Frowning …
Of krautrock and Klang
So, krautrock. I suspect most of us have a mental image of what krautrock should sound like, but it's odd because as Stuart Maconie succinctly pointed out "in truth, no two Krautrock acts sound remotely alike". The very term krautrock itself sticks in my craw, but for whatever reason, the alternative - less offensive - …

News from the conning tower
We have, finally, managed to consolidate all the Submarine Broadcasting Company onto one Bandcamp page; due to the way we started out, everything was very organic with a band here and a compilation there, but with a busy year ahead we felt it was worth trying to create one single storefront so nothing falls down …
News from the conning tower
Crikey O'Riley. There's a lot going on. So, in no particular order, the Exhibition compilations: you know about those, yeah? Well, they're ticking over nicely, we've already had some really strong tracks submitted and some very encouraging expressions of interest from several artists. Closing date is end of March, but you knew that. We are …
