HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!!!
We would like to wish all our friends, followers, and fans, as well as all random visitors and hobbyists who pass through, the best, most wonderful, and most profitable new year of 2026. This year, we HOPE, will bring to an end all those conflicts and geopolitical destabilisation that started in the previous years. And we mean all the major and most important humanitarian crises we are living through. Starting from the War in Ukraine, forged by War Criminal Putin, through the ongoing conflict in the Sudan, which is kept quiet in the media, but it is even more genocidal. And the WORSE ever, the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population in Gaza, committed by Nazi-Jews, led by the War Criminal, Naziniahu. We hope that the New Year will bring many changes to everyone’s life. Bring back Homes and Happiness to all those who lost them. Let’s not forget about them in this moment of Joy. Let this reflection help us to be better people. Happy New Year, People of the World!

[ December the 12th, 2025 release via SOFA MUSIC – Ivar Grydeland – Bøyning, brytning ]
out: 12.12.2025 on SOFA Music
For the Norwegian guitarist Ivar Grydeland, there’s little choice but to consider the water —living, as he does, on the peninsula of Nesodden, a short ferry ride across the fjord from Oslo. A key performer in Norway’s experimental scene with groups that include the genre-spurning Dans les arbes and Huntsville, Grydeland first enlisted aquatic inspiration on his 2012 debut solo record, “Bathymetric Modes” (Hubro), a warm, shimmering record with debts to minimalism and ambient music, modelled on the contours of underwater topography.

Lit Soc’s first catalogue number has been bestowed upon Words Underlined a diverse yet pensive trio record led by saxophonist and composer Patrick Smith and featuring two other gifted young locals—guitarist Dan Pitt (of Arid Landscapes and Dan Pitt Quintet) and drummer Lowell Whitty (collaborator to Karen Ng, Kevin Breit, Robin Hatch, Leland Whitty (BADBADNOTGOOD), and Jane Bunnett). Due out this Friday (December 12) on CD and digitally, it showcases these musicians’ open-ended vision of jazz as well as their nimble, spontaneous musicianship. Featuring a blend of Smith’s original compositions and fully improvised group and solo pieces, the material serves up everything from energetic post-bop to intimate ballads, electronics-tinted ambient works to tense, exploratory fusion.
