Discography
John Lithium Discography (updated 05/26/2026)
This is a mostly comprehensive and frequently slightly out-of-date list of the musical material I have released so far, in addition to compilation appearances, remix projects, collaborative efforts, and so on. Nearly all of my musical and artistic work is Creative Commons Attribution licensed (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en), so if you want to remix and/or incorporate the material into your project, feel free. Just be sure to credit the work to “John Lithium” (unless otherwise noted) and include the website https://johnlithium.com/. Thank you.
Most of the releases are listed chronologically, though on occasion newer remasters, singles, compilation appearances, and various other releases may not be. In the case of remasters, usually only the newest version will be included. Singles that may have been initially released by themselves will eventually moved to the “Collected Singles” collection.
Most of my releases are on Bandcamp. I am also a member of the Subvert collective and have a few releases up (https://www.subvert.fm/john-lithium). I also have most of my back catalogue and current releases on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@realjohnlithium).
Early work was initially released on Archive.org. Most of that material was later released on Bandcamp. If it hasn’t already been re-released on Bandcamp, it’s probably because it was either remixed into later work or considered to be archival at this point. Much of this material has been re-released in various retrospective releases.
My current projects are my solo project John Lithium and the industrial dub side-project Golden Cudgel. Lithium Industries is the name I use to describe my collective works, as well as what soundsource releases are usually titled as. Other than that, I had a few other projects that were active in the late 2000s and early 2010s, namely the power-electronics project Nihil Obstat, but they are all currently inactive or merged into the current projects.
