We Stood Like Kings ~ Away
Following their initial silent film trilogy and a set of classical reworks, Brussels post-rockers We Stood Like Kings have returned to the cinematic world, with a twist. This time they are not only rescoring an animated film, but a recent one: Gints Zilbalodis’

Baldruin ~ Kleine Freuden
What are the odds that three albums of one-minute songs would all be released in a three-week stretch? Perhaps inspired by Minute Papillon and One Minute Older, which both appeared in our Best Compilations feature, Ever Given, Ümlaut and Baldruin have each unveiled new

Molly Joyce ~ Perspective
How are we defined, and who has the right to define a human being? Is disability a weakness, and is anyone truly whole? These questions and more are tackled on Molly Joyce‘s ambitious Perspective, a musical collage incorporating 47 interviews with persons

Daniel Avery ~ Ultra Truth
Daniel Avery has pulled out all the stops for Ultra Truth. There’s a little bit of everything here, then something more. The album straddles multiple genres, from ambient to modern composition to electronic to pop. The release was announced six months in

Indignu ~ Adeus
There’s a slight disadvantage to leading with one’s best, fullest track, as Indignu has done with “urge decifrar no céu.” One expects the entire album to sound like the (extended) single. Only after hearing the piece in context does the whole make

Nonsemble ~ Archaeopteryx
2022 might be the Year of the Birds. First came the massive compilation For the Birds: The Birdsong Project, then Christopher Tin’s opera The Lost Birds, and now Nonsemble‘s Archaeopteryx. Many of today’s birds – even some of the most popular ones –
