500 Goats ~ Unstructured tunes
Reviewing noise albums can be a difficult task, particularly when they are made by a small enough project that turning to a search engine for background research with the phrase ‘500 Goats Unstructured tunes’ mostly yields organic chemistry journal articles and

Giovanni Lami ~ Fantarombo
Giovanni Lami seems to have been overtaken by fits of giddiness and exuberance on his latest album, Fantarombo. A glance at the tracklist is enough to suggest that something wickedly mischievous is afoot. The title itself combines fantasia (fantasy) and

HAPEXZM ~ HEXES
As a reader, my eye was immediately drawn to the track “Without Books.” Fall is the reading season, and HAPEXZM‘s narrator contributes a lament over jazzy piano and languid trip-hop beats. Five string notes enter at the very end, all too

Jaberdarwin ~ The Soft Collapse
First we have to talk about that cover, which is so striking that it steals the lead from the launch of a new supergroup. At first, it seems that Petulia Mattioli has snapped a photo of a particularly alluring woman

Rizan Said ~ Ma Waraa Al-Shaabi (ما وراء الشعبي) – Beyond Shaabi
In the hands of Kurdish-Syrian “King of Keyboard” Rizan Said, the synthesiser becomes an improbable orchestra, its sounds stretched and distorted. His musical vocabulary draws on the traditions of the Jazeera region, where Kurdish, Arab, Syriac and Armenian cultures have

Anushka Chkheidze + Robert Lippok ~ The Sky Was Out of Tune
It is always a treat when musicians take full advantage of the possibilities afforded by live performances, as Anushka Chkheidze and Robert Lippok have in The Sky Was Out of Tune. The younger Georgian electronic producer encountered the Berliner multimedia veteran during a Tiblisi workshop

Khaled Kurbeh ~ Ithā Sajā (إذا سجى)
After the beguiling, quietly mesmerising tapestry of Likulli Fadāin Eqāéh, Berlin-based Syrian musician Khaled Kurbeh turns to the piano on Ithā Sajā (إذا سجى), a collection recorded in his studio between 2021 and 2022. The two records were conceived during

Rutger Hoedemaekers ~ All the Good It Would Have Done
Behind this intricate and complex album lies an incredibly simple message: little actions can make a big difference, while the combination of little actions can make an exponentially big difference. Rutger Hoedemaekers tested this theory by composing parts for twenty instruments playing at
