Ourobonic Plague ~ Post Human Possibilities
As short-lived genres go, Witch House is certainly a contender for one that flickered brightest and most briefly, so it is something of a surprise to find Ourobonic Plague still employing it as a genre tag. It was even more

Zbeen ~ K-frame
K-frame is a chemical experiment that takes place under loose supervision. The “k-frame” is the framework in which the sonics develop: the programming of Ennio Mazzon, the electronics of Gianluca Favaron and the field recordings of each. Force, magnitude, velocity and direction are all listed as

bvdub ~ The First Day
San Francisco artist Brock Van Wey aka bvdub has been making music nonstop lately, thankfully without ever sacrificing quantity for quality. As with some of his most recent (wonderful) releases, the 20-minute, minimal electronic symphonies of The First Day are

Machinefabriek ~ Ontrafelde tonen
The lathe-cut Ontrafelde tonen launches the brand-new Vintermusik label in style; it’s hard to imagine a stronger start. In 2012, Machinefabriek is already making a play to become the next jukebox hero, the king of the 45. Ontrafelde tonen follows hot on the

eRikm ~ Transfall
While recording these six pieces for choreographies and compilations, eRikm was determined to “break out” of his normal constructive habits. As a result, the new album is vastly different from anything in his back catalog, and is easily his finest achievement to date.

Andrea Belfi ~ Wege
Wege originated as an installation, but thankfully has found its way to disc. The list of collaborators is impressive: Greg Haines, Machinefabriek and Valerio Tricoli, among others. But the credit goes to Andrea Belfi for composing and leading these four articulate pieces. His warm percussion and

Dúo del Sol ~ Mirá
When the only complaint one has about a project is, “I want more!”, it’s a very good sign. Everything about L.A.’s Dúo del Sol (Uruguayan violinist Javier Orman and Chicago guitarist Tom Farrell) is endearing, from their Kickstarter campaign (Coffee and

Julien Demoulin & IA ~ The Bay
Sometimes an association is so powerful that it’s impossible to resist. When listening to The Bay, the mind is drawn to the documentary The Bridge, another work of art drawn from the dangerous waters of San Francisco. Each shares a slightly sinister
