End of the Year Favorite Albums Label Mixes
2026 promises to be one busy year for IHN – we got ton of records waiting in the wings, starting with the second Skyjelly/Solilians split! Here are few more names you might also want to memorize/look into – Tinned Meats, Modern Folk, rootless, Dystopiate and cinchel. Ah, but now I spilled too many secrets…time to rewind back to 2025.
Our sole physical 2025 release is Telepaths by William Carlos Whitten and his mysterious companion Diana Crash. The two met at a laundromat and bonded over their love for the literature. The end result became one of our most well received and well reviewed releases to date – 9 Bandcamp reviews serving as a good testimony. Furthermore, these are 3 end of the year lists that Telepaths ended up on – so lets dive in!
