Crabouiller is a record label primarily interested in releasing short-run vinyl and CDs. We put a focus on the details of hand manufacturing each item we produce. Every CD or record we sell is handmade (hand screen-printing and assembly). We tend to favor stuff that we think is new/different/strange/odd. Much of our catalog is electronic and experimental (often drone and/or electroacoustic leaning) though you'll also find the occasional danceable beat and acoustic 12-string guitar. All of our physical releases (LP/CD) are always accompanied by digital (MP3) releases; Anything you can buy from us in physical form is also available for free as downloadable digital files. Check out the Catalog/Shop to take a listen and grab some music.

Welcome The Ancient Lowly - Topography CD to the world!
We are so excited to bring you this incredible album today. Topography is a wash of burbling synths, fuzzy drones, delicate guitars and huge soundscapes. The Ancient Lowly is Don Mennerich; one half of the now-defunct experimental duo, Parallel, with Greg Davis. Topography finds Mennerich pulling together the many disparate aspects of his previous works. The central force here being the opulent sound environments generated by Mennerich's modular analog synthesizer.
This release is limited to only 150 numbered copies. All are hand-made with the utmost care. Each black-backed-CDR is sheathed in hand screen-printed jackets. Accompanying each disk is a mini-representation of the massive modular synthesizer used on these recordings.
Soplerfo - The Air Out There 12" out July 2010 - limited to 200 copies, somewhat of a departure, musically. Guitar improvisations to synth and delay drones; This album is primarily electroacoustic instrumentation recorded in various locations with minimal computer/electronic tomfoolery. Hand silkscreened - individually numbered - block print inserts.
New music in the works from: Chokdee Rutirasiri, Misterinterrupt, Pembrook Sunset and MORE!
