FH HF – Rewind / Hey, Can I Pick Your Ears?
There’s something deliberately unstable at the core of Rewind by the Georgian artist FH HF. It resists the fixed shape of an album, instead unfolding as what the artist herself calls a “blindly intuitive collage”—a work in flux, driven less

Charbel Haber ~ May a soft sun bless your sky while you wait for the inevitable
There is a quiet contradiction at the heart of May a soft sun bless your sky while you wait for the inevitable, the latest work by Charbel Haber. It is an album that breathes in softness while exhaling inevitability—holding beauty

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

City of the Sun ~ Under the Moon
Of all the artists we’ve covered recently, City of the Sun has the most crossover potential. Their brand of rock is easily accessible, pairing the languid feel of the desert southwest with the adventure of the California coast. The “Angeles” visualizer

Natalia Tsupryk ~ Vil’na
Over the past few years, we’ve come to know Natalia Tsupryk as the composer of some of Ukraine’s most poignant music. Her first post-invasion piece, 2022’s “Kyiv,” contained the sound of air sirens recorded on Ukraine’s Independence Day (August 24), which has

Old Amica ~ Bländverk
A cruel quirk of translation turns out to be a clever trick on Bländverk, as the Swedish title implies bland work while the actual English translation is illusion. Old Amica‘s album is many things ~ quiet, intimate, reflective ~ but it is

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.

Canes Of Karabakh ~ S/T
There is a deliberate restraint that feels ethical as much as aesthetic in Canes of Karabakh. The Polish trio of Stanisław Matys (duduk), Olgierd Dokalski (flugelhorn, SFX), and Paweł Bartnik (electronics) approach the Armenian duduk not as repertoire to be
