PRE-ORDER

SCORE 'Sunburst Body’

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sunbur...

Score’s tenth album delivers sun-soaked, delay-drenched guitar meditations. Shimmering minimalism weaves into warm, euphonious waves, creating a hypnotic journey through a radiant, sunburst stratosphere

KAILAS '11'

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/coarse...

The Prague-based trio of Eva Porating, Daria Samo and Arash Ghasemi debut gathers four tracks recorded in 2023-24. Minimal guitar, grounding bass, and sparse synth traces shaped into slow leaning tension.

MACHINE MAFIA 'RED'

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/red

The second album by Machine Mafia (Pound Land's Jase Kester and Adam Stone). Sharp noise-punk energy coupled with surreal storytelling. Like a rawer Ministry with better lyrics

CLAUS MATTHECK 'Chapter 8'

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/chapte...

Sparse, wonky post-everything grooves paired with a dry, near-monotone delivery exploring the absurdity of modern life, blending self-deprecating humour with reflective melancholy

GNARLED FINGERS / PICKING split

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/pickin...

Raw doom, noise, and experimental drone, this split album channels personal obsession and eerie folklore into a relentless wall of fuzz, atmosphere, and inescapable sonic weight

“coarseness #1 feels like an appropriate soundtrack to something which feels like, if not the outbreak of WW3, then a particularly dark period in history. Remember where you are at this moment – and listen to this. This is the soundtrack.”

melondruie - so far away
melondruie - so far away YouTube video by CRUEL NATURE RECORDS

"So far away"

A little video I did for promo that I forgot to promo. Over on @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social youtube.

Wandering around along the river on a cold winter's day, thinking about the possibility of a better future. It feels so far away.

Neon Crabs – This Puppy Can See A Frog Cruel Nature Records – 27th February 2026 Christopher Nosnibor It’s a small world, as they say, especially if you live in York. As a city, it has more of a town feel, and round my way to the south …

“the colour scheme of the cover is no accident, a knowing reference to Big Black’s Songs About Fcking – although the material it houses is more in the vein of The Hammer Party”

Thank you Aural Aggravation for the review

Empty House “Tao And Zen”

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/tao-an...

Tao and Zen is where krautrock meets dub. Built on bass-driven sparsity and drawing from Can, The Orb, Creation Rebel, and Ash Ra Tempel, it closes with “Almost Salvation,” a tribute to Patti Smith.

Neon Crabs “This Puppy Can See A Frog”

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/this-p...

Neon Crabs is a transatlantic project pairing Andy Goz (Neon Kittens) with Matt Nauseous (Legless Crabs). Think Iggy and the Stooges, post-punk, and ’90s noise rock.
