With Laura Cannell’s new album, Antiphony of the Trees, she elevates the recorder into a higher realm. On “The Girl Who Became An Owl,” the latest preview, a solemn, contemplative feeling flows throughout. Languid squalls breathe inside the middle register imbuing a peacefulness beneath the melancholic movements. Drones ground the lyrical dance of multiple interwoven melodies […]
The forest is aglow with bountiful arpeggios on the second single from Marcel Sletten’s forthcoming double album, Irish Words and a Bottle of Myrrh. “Sassafras” rises in pointed succession, the sun’s neon arc following a preplanned succession of aerial points. Warm synth pads move with purpose even with a softness around the edges. Plans always go […]

Recent months have reminded me why they’re one of my favorite bands from the last 20 years. These days Spires is the duo of Taralie Peterson and Ka Biard. Their most recent release, 2020’s Psychic Oscillations is […]

Empty spaces become lush aural environments as he colors […]
