“The long ear” was Cold War slang for the parabolic microphone. A dish that could lift a conversation out of the air from hundreds of feet away.
On Noh Age’s debut, Charmaine Lee has turned it around and run it through four vintage tube amps, hunting its own resonances until feedback catches — enmeshed with John McCowen, who plays contrabass clarinet like an acoustic synthesizer after years alongside Roscoe Mitchell, and Taiwanese sheng soloist Li-Chin Li, formerly of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Produced by Randall Dunn, with additional synths.
Spectral music at its most physical.
KOU013. The Long Ear. Out November 6.
The cover art and the artist portrait are a special commission from 2026 Eisner winner Shintaro Kago, one of the defining figures of ero guro and the artist behind Flying Lotus’s You’re Dead!
Three editions: standard black, the gunmetal grey cohort edition, and a limited artist edition on clear pink vinyl in a deluxe holographic jacket, with a double-sided silk scarf, 70 × 70cm, carrying Kago’s cover art and additional designs by Jordan Rundle.

What a beautiful surprise to see our feature on @bandcamp out in the world today, written by the great George Grella, right as we hit our one year mark since launching Kou.
Neither of us could have imagined what this journey would be. But even more than that, we couldn’t have imagined the incredible ecosystem of people that has formed around it, which really feels more like a movement: artists, both sonic and visual, engineers, designers, studios, shipping, manufacturers, printers, distributors, press, listeners, collectors. Every single one makes Kou flow through the world, and we’re deeply grateful for all of it.
Starting a label in 2025 has been the most challenging and rewarding thing we’ve ever done, not to mention fifteen records in that year, which is near-psychotic. So proud, so grateful, and the movement keeps going. 🖤

Just a few of the rad humans donning the AWAKEN THE DRAGON shirt from last year’s 50-state tour. Put the last of them up on my Bandcamp today.
Designed by the one and only Skinner, inspired by Jack Kirby’s FIN FANG FOOM dragon, and five-color screen printed flawlessly by @beezerprinting in BK on top-quality Comfort Colors shirts.
Black or white, S–3XL still available. Comes with a free download of the KNVF record. Link in bio! 🐉 P.S. DMs welcome of ppl rockin the shirt out in the wild!!!!

So lucky to have collaborated with @gamelandharmaswara for the first time last month at @roulette_intermedium❣️Sang a Cantonese couplet from my ancestral Taoist temple in Mendocino over their gongs, jegogan, and kempur. Huge thanks to GDS and Roulette for having me, and to @jessikakenney for the invaluable consultation 🖤 The ensemble is currently in Bali for performances and collaborations — wishing them the best on their big trip ✨🌾 audio mix by @randallbdunn

"I'm less interested in language as legible content than as pure sound event. Abstracted syllables and utterances, the suggestion of a word without its literal translation, can achieve a deeper emotional precision than the word itself. Legibility outside of context can actually limit range."
