The limited edition CD contains two exclusive bonus tracks that are not available digitally. There are also two remixes, by Lone Cosmonaut and Trixie Delight, in advance of an album of remixes to be released later in 2021.
Invasive Species
by tourmaline hum
The history of TCFSR and tourmaline hum are closely entwined so it is appropriate that the 100th release on TCFSR Bandcamp sees the return of tourmaline hum, five years since their last album 'system Imperfect'
During this time the duo of Lone Cosmonaut and Dental Drill have each created a number of solo releases and contributed to a variety of other projects (and Dental Drill has taken on the day to day running of the TCFSR label) so the tracks for 'Invasive Species' were created intermittently between 2017 and 2021. Nonetheless the album demonstrates a thematic consistency. The album has a darker edge than most of tourmaline hum's previous work.
In addition to high resolution digital. the album is available on CD with gatefold sleeve.
Sururus Perdidos
by Coletivo NSLO
The second of three albums that we will release by Coletivo NSLO, a contemporary classical group from Brazil.
Sururus Perdidos presents instrumental compositions by Heitor Oliveira, performed by Dario Rodrigues Silva (piano), Gina Arantxa Arbeláez (flute), Renan Simões and Sabrina Souza (guitars).
The album contains three pieces, two duets and a structured improvisation for quartet. The pieces are variously a game and the drama of ambition and its consequences. “You remember and then you live”.
The limited edition CD contains three bonus tracks that are not available digitally.
CHARLATÓRIO
by Coletivo NSLO
We expand our musical horizons with the first of three albums that we will release by Coletivo NSLO, a contemporary classical group from Brazil.

The album contains four solo pieces (one for each instrumentalist) and a structured improvisation for quartet. The pieces are like informal conversations of the artists with themselves, their peers and their listeners, marked by the ideas of proximity, intimacy and informality.
The limited edition CD contains three bonus tracks that are not available digitally.
