After a few months of non activity due to a deep rethinking of intentions and aspirations, the ever-excellent London-based Highpoint Lowlife are back in business, having decided to focus largely on extremely limited numbered CDR releases, with digital albums made available from the label’s website.

The excellent Highpoint Lowlife will be releasing two very limited albums in coming weeks, starting with Tigrics’s Synki on 16 October, followed by Erstlaub’s beautifully titled One Becoming An Island on 30 October.

HPLL recently affirmed its commitment to releasing music as beautiful artefacts destined to collectors, and to this effect, both albums will be released at just 100 physical copies on CDR housed in white DVD cases, with handdrawn artwork by Tigrics for his album and artwork designed by Mathieu Ranson for Erstlaub’s release. Both albums will also be made available as digital FLAC download from the HPLL website from the respective release date.

Synki features nine original tracks using field recording and ‘his own micro modular mad scientist composition’, while On Becoming An Island features just one ambient track spreading over just under forty four minutes.
