Agriculture have announced a full West Coast tour this fall in support of The Spiritual Sound, out October 3rd on The Flenser. EU and UK tour dates begin in September.

Agriculture returns with The Spiritual Sound, a record that turns away from vibes and algorithms in favor of something raw, spiritual, and demanding.

Written during a period of chronic illness, All the Dead Melt Down as Rain is Uboa’s most disorienting and vulnerable work to date — a mix of harsh noise, doom, and death industrial that captures the dissociative fog of living with POTS.

It’s Closeness, It’s Easy is the new full-length album from Planning For Burial, the solo project of Thom Wasluck, out now on The Flenser. This highly anticipated follow-up to 2017’s Below the House explores themes of aging, grief, addiction, and reconnection through immersive soundscapes that blend shoegaze, slowcore, ambient, and doomgaze.

Recorded alone at home in Pennsylvania, the album was shaped in intense, focused sessions that emphasize raw emotion and atmosphere. Over eight tracks, Wasluck weaves together blown-out guitars, drum machines, tape hiss, and moments of silence into a cathartic listening experience.

Rooted in a DIY ethos, Planning For Burial handles all aspects of the creative process—recording, artwork, performance—resulting in a deeply personal and singular body of work. It’s Closeness, It’s Easy marks the project’s twentieth year and stands as one of its most vulnerable and fully realized statements.

Available now on vinyl, CD, and digital formats from The Flenser.
Recommended for fans of Have A Nice Life, Grouper, and Low.

Have A Nice Life’s Deathconsciousness returns in a deluxe CD box set, featuring the full 2CD album and the original 76-page book—all housed in a sturdy, collectible package. 

Planning for Burial returns with a final glimpse into the upcoming album, It’s Closeness, It’s Easy, out this Friday. “(blueberry pop)” showcases the softer, more meditative side of the record. Originally intended as a set closer, the track has found a new place early in the album's sequence—inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and take it all in. Read Thom Wasluck’s note on the song and watch the accompanying video, filmed in the dead of winter as a quiet exhale.

“Signs” is a B-side from Midwife’s No Depression In Heaven, exploring grief and meaning in the face of uncertainty. Accompanied by a film-shot video from Marah Herreid, the track reveals another side of Midwife’s evolving sound and vision.
