IONE is a Dream Keeper: a facilitator of dreams. Sharing this intimate part of our being, she believes, can be the start of new ways of being with one another. Exploring the reality of the dream and the dream of reality over many decades has led IONE to appreciate the quantum nature of dreams. Weaving science and dream traditions from around the world together with her own memories and the dreams of her friends and community members, Quantum Dreaming shows that as we start practising awareness, our consciousness also deepens.IONE and Pauline Oliveros’s shared vision of a harmonious, self-sustaining network of artists and dreamers led to the founding of the Deep Listening Institute. Quantum Dreaming similarly seeks a radical shift in our collective consciousness, across all states of dreaming and waking.Afterword by Sarah shin  Images by Sammy Lee  Paperback, 113x160mm, 96pp Silver Press/ Spiral House, Portals Series, London, June 2025

Careening through 850+ releases, from chaotic sound collage work to their eight-and-a-half-hour magnum opus, named LUX, we find out how Octa Mobius Sheffner’s career came to its end, who they think is winning the current musical ‘arms race’ and watching the Western culture eat itself from 6,000 miles away. (This edition also comes with an exclusive cassette release of Octa’s EP Rules + cloth-. This breathtaking post-industrial journey, limited to 30 cassettes, is a rare opportunity to experience Octa’s music in physical form.)   We catch up with Will Wiesenfield to find out more about the alias Baths, the new album Gut and how it’s even more shamelessly honest than everything that has come before it. After which we head to Corsica to watch him dodge theatrically between venue-rattling beats and snares.   A mainstay of the online music scene sadly passed away this year. Alan Morse Davies was a friend to many and a collaborator of a lucky few. We give space to those who knew him to remember, in hopes that more will appreciate his impact.   The aficionado of ambient balladry, Lucy Liyou, provides an insight into the music behind her truly unique sound. This edition also features analysis of the biggest releases from the past month and reviews of hidden gems, including from Ninajirachi, Twin Galaxxies and Briana Marela.  A5, staplebound, 24pp listencorp, October 2025 listencorp.co.uk

When Ursula K. Le Guin started writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World presents a selection of these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been published before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own.  Le Guin’s maps offer journeys of consciousness beyond conventional cartography, from the Rorschach-like archipelagos of Earthsea to the talismanic maps of Always Coming Home. Rather than remaining within known terrain, they open up paradigms of knowledge, exemplified by the map’s edges and how a map is read, made and re-made, together. The Word for World brings her maps together with poems, stories, interviews, recipes and essays by contributors from a variety of perspectives to enquire into the relationship between worlds and how they are represented and imagined.  Contributors: Federico Campagna, Theo Downes-Le Guin, Daniel Heath Justice, Bhanu Kapil, Canisia Lubrin, Una McCormack, David Naimon, Nisha Ramayya, Shoshone Collective, Standard Deviation, Marilyn Strathern. Co-published by Spiral House and AA Publications to coincide with an exhibition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s maps at the Architectural Association, London, opening on 10 October 2025.  edited by So Mayer & Sarah Shin Paperback, 112 pp Spiral House, October 2025

Turn My Head Into Sound: A history of Kevin Shields and My Bloody Valentine tells the story of one of the great sonic innovators of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. My Bloody Valentine have released only three albums in their forty-year career, but each of them has made a seismic impact. Isn’t Anything (1988) is often cited as one of the Ur-texts of shoegaze and dream rock; Loveless (1991) is an undisputed masterpiece heralded by many as the best album of the 1990s; m b v (2013) is one of the best-loved comeback albums in recent memory. For those who know Kevin Shields and his work already, he is an indie-rock icon, but by other measures he’s still a relatively obscure figure in the musical mainstream, and to date there has been no full-length appraisal of his work or his band’s career. Until now. Shields is truly a one-of-a-kind musician, and this book—which fills in the gaps, corrects errors, and takes an objective look at the band’s entire career, warts and all—paints the full picture of one of the most revolutionary sonic artists of our time. Turn My Head Into Sound is based on numerous interviews with people who were there (some of them speaking on the record for the first time) as well as an exhaustive archive of band-related material that the author has been assembling since 1990. Longtime fans of the band will find plenty of new information here, including the full story of the tumultuous period at Island Records following the release of Loveless. The lost years that followed would see Shields employed as engineer, producer, and remixer while also becoming an auxiliary member of Primal Scream. This book’s analysis of this diverse but lesser-known work offers reader a much fuller picture of the relentless creativity and perfectionism at the center of his process.Softcover, 15 x 22cm, 336pp Jawbone Press, Oct 2025

Malory walks home after an ordinarily gruelling night out, having escaped the company of her associates. Something ripples in the darkness. The shape of a figure. So begins a chain of events with the texture of dream plasma. A story of persecution mania. Professional ignominy. A sudden disappearance. The terror of seeing oneself too clearly... Part horror story, part tragicomic nightmare, Ghost Driver is a slim shudder of a novel about a woman who has taken every wrong turn available to her.Paperback, 174pp Moist Books, London, September 2025

Bourgeois coldness refers to an affective strategy that offers an explanation for how self-preservation works. Bourgeois coldness is one of the most advanced affective and aesthetic forms of preserving the structure of the colonial status quo. It creates an affective shelter in the world, unencroached upon by the immediate consequences of its many catastrophes. It functions like air conditioning – a complex technology which reliably stabilises the climate until those inside consider it natural. Bourgeois spaces – institutional and affective – stay cool and pleasant. But outside it’s burning.Canonical critical theory by Adorno and Horkheimer enters a dialogue with Black studies through Hartman and Moten.trans.

Shulamith Firestone’s visionary first book The Dialectic of Sex dared to look at how feminism could shape the future. Finding herself drifting into a new ‘airless space’ after her experience of New York City radical feminist groups, Firestone wrote her first work of fiction.  Airless Spaces portrays the psychic suffering, bureaucratized poverty and small crises of everyday life. In a series of vignettes about institutions and identity, Airless Spaces follows characters in psychiatric wards and out in the streets of New York City to move beyond the spectacular and frightening surfaces of institutional spaces to record acts of cruelty and kindness. With an accompanying Reader featuring contributions by Laya Seghi, Lourdes Cintron, Susan Faludi, Chris Kraus, Lola Olufemi and Hannah Proctor.  Softcover, 256pp Silver Press, London, April 2025   "The very short stories in Airless Spacesmasterfully depict all kinds of minor atrocities that eventually lead to each person’s downfall: a forced shower, a snub, a slow-moving bureaucracy, a repurposed lounge." - Chris Kraus

Optically Suspicious is a publication by Matrijaršija on the life, work, and cultural and artistic activities of the Union of Graphic and Typographic Workers of Yugoslavia. The book is the result of research in the Union’s archives in the Printed Material Collection of the Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade. Matrijaršija reconstructs the forgotten history of the leftist graphic and typographic workers by studying the Union’s posters and leaflets, which bear witness to their rich artistic and cultural programme realised between 1920 and 1941. The book offers engaging theoretical discussions on the importance of cultural and artistic (self-)organisation and the significance of solidarity among workers in the printing industry. The members of the Matrijaršija collective bring this history to life in a series of collages, visual poems, plays, and short stories. Optically Suspicious is the first volume in the ‘tehnika’ series, which focuses on the technical aspects of radical publishing practices. The volumes in the series will discuss the ways in which radical and independent publishing practices introduce entirely new forms of printing, typography, design, distribution and content. Edited by Rab-Rab Press, Matrijaršija and Baraba, the aim of the series is to deal with the actuality of the fluid form of revolutionary printing “techniques” and to develop and connect them with contemporary publishing practices. Conceived, designed and printed by Matrijaršija, Optically Suspicious is entirely manufactured with risporint and is the expanded edition and translation of the first Serbo-Croatian version published in 2022 in collaboration with the Museum of Yugoslavia. Founded in 2014 in Belgrade, the autonomous cultural centre Matrijaršija is a collective focused on printmaking and independent publishing. With over a decade of experience in screen printing and five years in risograph printing, it promotes experimental techniques and practices, as well as alternative forms of artistic organisation.Pocket-sized Hardcover  Rab-Rab,

Lostlingual by Dinara Rasuleva is the first volume of the sdvig series, dedicated to translingual avant-garde writing. In this volume, Rasuleva, a Berlin-based poet, returns to Tatar, the language of her childhood. She had used it only rarely as an adult, and never before as a creative writer—the national language of her people, smothered by Russian colonialism. She sets herself the goal of composing poetry in Tatar as she remembers it, without consulting dictionaries and grammars. The result is a collection of fragile and liberatory translingual poems, in which Tatar, English, German, and Russian call out, respond to, and transform one another.  Sdvig: translingual avant-gardes is edited by poet and translator Eugene Ostashevsky. Sdvig,a term used by the historical avant-garde in the late Russian Empire and the early Soviet Union to describe distortion and fracture of communication norms,derives from the verb sdvinut’: to cause something to move, usually from one place to another. On the verbal plane, the most common variety of sdvig is the pun, which estranges language by foregrounding materiality, obfuscating reference, and multiplying meanings. We are calling our series of translingual avant-garde writing sdvig, because translingualism, originating in the displacement of the body, ends up violating linguistic borders and adulterates “the language of the tribe”, which poetry once set out to “purify”. We are also calling our series sdvig, because, by questioning and estranging communication—especially interlingual and intercultural communication—translingualism at once illuminates and sabotages translation, ultimately turning it into a variety of wordplay. With Rasuleva’s introduction and Ostashevsky’s afterword, Lostlingual also explores the social and conceptual perspectives of translingual poetry. The sdvig series is designed by Bardhi Haliti.Rab-Rab, October 2025 Softcover, 11 x 16

In BODYBUILDER, Derek Coulombe forms an elliptical correspondence between his own experience of Tourette’s Syndrome and Umberto Boccioni’s futurist sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space. In this hybrid genre work of fabulist criticism Boccioni's sculpture becomes an obsessively deconstructed central character through which Coulombe reflects on the inherently repetitive, scatological, and convulsively queer properties of his own Tourettic situation.    Tourette’s Syndrome (a movement disorder that causes involuntary tics, convulsions, movements, and utterances) causes a body to assume specific physical shapes in the world without the body having meant to do so, and in this way, produces a scenario where the affected body is both assuming postures as well as watching these postures being enacted from a remove. This forced, partial removal creates a unique situation where Coulombe can view his body as an external object—as a series of surfaces and volumes—as something more like a sculpture or a painting. From this specifically disordered framework, Coulombe takes Unique Forms of Continuity in Space as a kind of malleable proxy where the sculpture becomes a figurative hub for an exploration of disabled embodiment and movement through the production of increasingly aberrant fictive vignettes.Softcover, 126 x 178mm, 84 pages Hildegard Press, Canada 2024

The short-lived Blitz club in London’s Covent Garden was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatcher’s leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the 80s. Tuesday nights boasted a ferocious, fearless cast – from Boy George and Spandau Ballet to Grayson Perry and Peter Doig, to Michele Clapton, Sade and Alexander McQueen. This was the vanguard of a different England; socially liberal, loud, proud and diverse, fiercely individualistic and determined to succeed. Britain was black and white; the Blitz Kids switched on the colour. In Blitz, Elms reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion and Music, and into the present day.Hardcover, 285pp faber & faber 2025
