Arun Sood ~ Searching Erskine
Searching Erskine is an album, a book, a film and an exhibition: another elaborate release from the always-reliable Blackford Hill. The project is a tribute to the history of Vallay, an island situated two miles off the Northwest coast of Uist,

Gonçalo F. Cardoso ~ Impressões de Outra Ilha (Borneo)
In the movie industry, sometimes a sequel appears and we realize we have a series. The same principle holds true in the music industry. Impressões de Outra Ilha (Borneo) is a follow-up to Impressões De Uma Ilha (Unguja), its source material

V/A ~ A Collective Memoir
Sometimes the timing of a release affects an album’s relevance. This is the case with A Collective Memoir, released less than 24 hours before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The album, commissioned by the Urkavan Festival, presents like-minded artists from both Russia

Kazuki Koga ~ The Summit of the Gods
