Kee Avil’s debut, Crease, is seared into the furthest recesses of my mind. Her music tempts us with a surface fragility that is a mirage, the unbound force of its complex, engrossing sonic landscape an overwhelming triumph. For the Crease Remixed EP, Avil enlisted four artists – Ami Dang, Pelada, Cecile Believe, and, here, claire rousay – to […]
Summer vacation officially ends tomorrow and while part of me is happy to get back on some semblance of a schedule, it’s been such a great couple of months that I’m mostly bummed. I think the kid is a little sick of me (even if she doesn’t admit it), but I’ve been having way too […]
The Capsule Garden returns this week after a brief hiatus to deal with personal/family issues. I’m consistently overwhelmed by the volume of music that comes across my desk and through my inbox each week. The deluge grows monthly, but I continue to check out as much of it as possible. But I’m one person, so […]
I love when I ask an artist to make a mix for the site, and the end result is something that manages to embody the underlying spirit of their own work. Brazilian composer Carlos Ferreira’s discography is vast. His music is pinned to the surface with subtle force while the ends drift skyward like loose […]
I continue to be grateful that Jordan Christoff and I crossed paths in the last year.

New solo music from Mari Maurice always makes the world a better place. I still go back to 2020’s mari regularly, but since oneiric turned up, it’s taken over. If ‘oneiric’ means dreaming, or related to dreams, then oneiric is a fantasy world where dreams are a tangible reality; where our emotions are tactile figures embracing us close in one moment […]

It’s been almost a year since I announced Foxy Digitalis was coming back in 2021 and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first big surprise came when there was an instant outpouring of excitement and support. I honestly wasn’t […]
TUSK Festival is a UK mainstay, offering some of the most unique programming around and generally bending minds and opening new avenues with their events. I feel a real kinship with TUSK’s mission to bring supposedly difficult music to more mainstream situations and audiences. Obviously the pandemic has thrown a wrench in their operations, but […]
There are moments where the shortest distance between two points isn’t so much a straight line as it is a deep breath. Gaze long enough into the distance and all the imperfections in the distance will blur into an opulent, fleeting view of the future. claire rousay continues her vertical trajectory and showing another side […]
