Matteo Liberatore is a force of chaos and precision. His new alter ego, Molto Ohm, is as unexpected as it is electrifying—an immersive plunge into maximalist soundscapes that teeter on the edge of controlled madness. Melodies are shattered and reassembled into frenetic journeys through blacked-out neon corridors lined with jagged edges and fractured dreams. A […]
One thing I keep returning to as I’ve listened to Osnat Netzer’s new album, Dot : Line : Sigh, is how the whimsical nature and physicality of this music combine in a way that leaves me feeling off-kilter. I like it when music confuses me because it keeps me returning, seeking some sort of understanding. But […]
I thought I was more prepared to get a long list of things done yesterday, but apparently, I was overconfident. Scrambling at the last minute to prep for a few things means I didn’t get to cover as many things this week as initially planned. That’s kind of how it goes, though. My eyes are […]
The journey Guy Barash takes us on with his new album, Killdeer, is remarkable and dizzying at times. His years-long collaboration with author and poet Nick Flynn fully pays off here. Joined by an all-star ensemble, they create a world where big ideas like generational trauma and parenthood are explored through small, visceral moments. Spoken word […]
There’s a revelatory catharsis running through “Jesus Knew” like a vein of gold hidden under a mountain of rubble. Guy Barash is joined by an incredible cast of artists for Killdeer: pianist Kathleen Supové, guitarist Eyal Maoz, trumpeter Frank London, and author Nick Flynn. Sonic atmospheres simmering with tense electronics and angular guitar explorations lay the […]

One of my favorite things about a new Sarah Bernstein album or project is that I know I’ll be surprised. The violinist, composer, and improviser knows how to harness certain moments and weave them into enticing […]
The hits keep coming here in September, the worst of the months. Can’t it just be fall already? Irarrázabal / Baldwin Grips (Tripticks Tapes) I can’t imagine something more in my wheelhouse than a double-double bass album with two of my favorite bassists, yet Grips still exceeds my expectations. Both Amanda Irarrázabal and Nat Baldwin are no strangers to […]
Foxy Digitalis depends on our awesome readers to keep things rolling. Pledge your support today via our Patreon. I didn’t really think about it at the time I started this feature, but this is a nice little(ish) shopping list for all your Bandcamp Friday needs (or maybe The Jewel Garen is – ha!). Seriously, though – another week with a […]
There are two lenses to hear The Recombinant Trilogy through, though the conclusion for both is the same. Conceptually, these compositions are a rich, exploratory world combining acoustic sound and technology in new and interesting ways. Musically the pieces scale mountains and demolish universes into stardust as they scatter across the sonic landscape. Through a […]
