"Regret Is An Inevitable Consequence Of Life" is an 18-minute drone epic. White Columns, like a monk on the edge of his temple, is sending out a heavy signal to guide lost wanderers and adventure seekers. To continue the story, roll the dice. Grab this composition here.
Live recording of White Columns' performance that took place at Sharehouse in Adelaide on 13 June, 2026. "Inside Voices / Outside Voices" pivots from WC's usual noise explorations, instead channeling meditative ambient frequencies that emit an invisible zen aura throughout the four tracks this performance was divided into. The strings are something else here! Please give this one a go, it's really good.

Jolan Lisle, the man behind White Columns, has just released his second album entitled "Desire Lines". Recorded over the course of five months across the turn of the year, the album offers a wonderful micro-universe of sounds, populated by delicate ambient tones, ominous drones, lo-fi field recordings, and occasional noise techniques that add a unique touch of charm to the whole experience. This one is made for those lonely evenings, sitting in a comfy chair with a pair of headphones on, ready to catch all the intricacies White Columns has carefully crafted and selected here. Wonderful album.

White Columns returns with a brand new live set recorded on the Australian radio show theeNoWShoW, on December 28 last year. "Crusher of Fun" is a 30-minute mix of avant experiemental, noise improv and neo-classical piano motifs. This sounds and feels like a live scoring of a modern horror movie.

I'm pleased to announce the official launch of my new label called Bone Valley. It will release exclusively 3" CDRs in limited editions and focus mainly on industrial, noise, dark ambient, drone and witch house. The first release from Ghost Mirror came out on July 29, and a new batch of three new EPs premiered today. These include "More" by White Columns, "Votive Deposit" by Pharmacist, and "Modernity" by Natural Orthodoxy. You can preview all CDRs here. Streams are available here, but there will be no digital downloads (unless directly from the artists).
Rhythmic noise and mutated radio signals clash against the backdrop of anti-ambient soundscapes on White Columns album "Lessen". "Dramatic Moments" is peak music for something bad is about to happen. The following "Shaking In The Light" is even better, it preserves the tension, but with the vocals, the whole songs sounds like a dystopian lo-fi art-punk anthem. Fucking radical.

White Columns is an experimental noise/industrial project of Jolan Lisle, a bassist and electronic musician based in Adelaide, Australia. His debut WC release, "Public Witness", consists of four sound sculptures shaped by noise and musique concrète explorations. It's a harsh and uncompromising mix - yet surprisingly approachable, thanks in part to its vaguely familiar samples and sounds. Perfect soundtrack for a cozy Monday night in.
