Xordox ‘Terraform’ album out now!

JG Thirlwell

TerraformThe third album by JG Thirlwell‘s synthesizer-based Xordox album, Terraform, is released by Ectopic Ents on May 2, 2025. The album comes on black and white splatter vinyl with download code, and six panel digipack CD. The album is released on streaming services on May 9 2025. You can purchase the album right here on this website at the Foetus Shoppe.

Terraform merges science fiction, crime noir and epic film score elements in a highly evocative and gripping melange. In this chapter of the Xordox saga, the intensity increases, as the propulsive compositions soar, tumble and occasionally explode. The video from Terraform, “Planet Xordox”, is directed by David Slade (Black Mirror, 30 Days Of Night, Hard Candy etc) and will drop soon after the album. 

Xordox will be playing in Denver on May 10 2025 at the Ogden Theater with Itchy-O and play a record release show in NYC at TV Eye on May 29 2025, with C.Lavender opening. This latest iteration of the Xordox live group is a duo that features Thirlwell alongside Rebecca El Saleh (Kitba) on additional keyboards. (Kitba)

JG Thirlwell remixes Itchy-O

JG Thirlwell

JG Thirlwell has remixed a track from the Denver percussion / performance group Itchy-O. The song Thirlwell remixed is entitled “Entangled | Unbinding”, which is on Itchy-O’s latest release, Söm Sâptâlahn.

The Itchy-O blurb reads “This re-visioning rips open the soft underbelly of Söm Sâptâlahn, dragging it screaming back into itchy-O’s chaos crucible. What was once a trance-inducing drift through the esoteric exorcism has been reassembled, reinvigorated, and re-realized with the bombast, rhythmic dissonance, and relentless momentum one expects from the 60+ member collective.”

The remix is released on April 25, 2025.
