Tomasz Sroczynski ~ Symphony n°2 / Highlander
There can be only one. For anyone familiar with the film, the word highlander will always conjure images of epic fantasy, swords and beheadings. It’s a good thing the new album from Polish violinist Tomasz Sroczynski has the drama to match. As part of

Havana Swim Club ~ S/T
The first full day of (official) summer deserves a suitable soundtrack, and Havana Swim Club‘s self-titled debut album fits the bill. A sampledelic blend of tropicana, disco, soul and lounge, Havana Swim Club is this year’s Perfect Summer Album. Not every year

Trialogos ~ Stroh zu Gold
How many bands were born during the pandemic? Our guess is not many, as social distancing kept folks apart. Bucking the trend, cellist Sicker Man and multi-instrumentalist Kiki Bohemia launched a digital series called Cleansing Drones for Locked Down Homes at the

Don Zilla ~ Ekizikiza Mubwengula
When Don Zilla released the two-track From the Cave to the World EP in 2019, the jury was out: would the Ugandan producer choose dance music or abstract exploration? “From the Cave” was a drum ‘n’ bass banger, while the 12:50 “Inside Me” was

Front & Follow ~ You Can Never Leave
Sadly, this is the last project we’ll ever hear from the sublime Front & Follow label, or as the label writes, “one final final FINAL project” since even this is a bonus. But Bandcamp leaves the door ajar by saying that the
