Taroug ~ Chott
Deeply rooted in place rather than merely referencing it, Chott, the latest work from Taroug, seems to emerge directly from the landscape. Named after the vast salt lake of Chott El Djerid in southern Tunisia, the record unfolds as both

Monoconda ~ Shadow Shades
Some artists move forward by subtraction; others by return. On Shadow Shades, Monoconda does both. Stripping away the layered architectures of his recent work, he returns to the guitar—the first instrument he ever played—not as nostalgia, but as a recalibration.

Ancient Methods ~ Society of the Spectacle
After playing the LP, I went back to read the book. Guy Debord’s 1967 treatise of the same name is a masterpiece of philosophical prophecy, seeming to predict everything from Facebook to fake news, celebrity culture to A.I., and most

Fields Ohio ~ A Ghostly Band of Doubts
