ken=en ~ простій
ken=en’s простій may bear a title whose translation means simple, but nothing about the album is simple. The album is packed with beats and samples, but it’s not entirely a dance album; field recordings surface and occasionally comprise entire tracks. The music

Francesco Fabris ~ DISPLACES
Bedroom Community really is a community, proven by the fact that Ben Frost and Valgeir Sigurðsson each contribute to Francesco Fabris‘ latest collection of disruptive sound. The most abrasive textures may remind long-term listeners of Frost’s seminal By the Throat. We last heard

Noémi Büchi ~ Exuvie
