I kind of feel like nothing needs to be said about this considering the two artists involved, but I’m going to say something anyway. Dream team? Obviously. Torch Songs is a hint at what’s to come as there is a full-length on the way this year, but these dense cave dwellers are monsters on their […]
One of these days I am going to do a feature on Boomkat’s Documenting Sound series because it’s been an unbelievable run (that shows no sign of stopping). They released a number of my favorite releases through the series in 2020 (Heather Leigh’s Glory Days is unreal). Teresa Winter’s Love Crime continues their winning streak […]
I am admittedly late to the table on Somei Satoh’s work. For years, I’ve had an awareness and have listened to some pieces here and there, but it wasn’t until late last year and through a serendipitous picture Greg Davis posted that I finally fixed that (there’s something so stunning and enticing about the cover […]
I promise not to spend this entire review extolling Luke Stewart’s genius, but looking back on 2020 he was involved in so many of my favorite records (and his double LP on Astral Spirits is an all-timer) it’s kind of ridiculous. But hell, Tashi Dorji is right there too. His sound is always unmistakably his […]
Recording during quarantine, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe continues to channel sounds emanating deep within the earth. Mishaps In Time switches between caustic synthetic spirituals to angular rhythmic shards and concrete expositions with ease. Lowe’s music is patient, always moving at just the right speed so that his ideas permeate long enough to leave a mark, […]
An interview with Mariska Baars – an artist I’ve been thinking about recently – from late 2007. There are countless artists and bands that I’ve lost touch with over the years. Whether life simply got in the way or because they moved on to different interests. It’s simply the nature of things. Mariska Baars aka soccer Committee is one […]
Joseph Kamaru makes unconventionally beautiful music. The two tracks on ftpim move slow but bathe you in a cold, unyielding sheen of sound. Something KMRU does well is blur the line between his sound and the environment. His music falls off the page and ingrains itself into the outside world, filling cracks and disappearing into […]
Stephen Connolly used to release music as Pothole Skinny and was half of the excellent Perhaps Transparent label (They did the vinyl version of P.G. Six’s The Well of Memory, for example), so finding out he’s recently dipped a toe back in (something I can relate to in spades) was great news. Inspiriels (on his […]
In just over 15 minutes, A.F. Jones and Gabi Losoncy capture the bizarre rollercoaster horror of the past year. Pummeling analog synths snarl for four minutes straight, opening the wound just enough so the bleakness seeps in. Barely understandable voices echo beyond the veil while the sound of rain and passing cars lull you into […]
