Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!

It may be an understatement to say that Godspeed You! Black Emperor‘s time has finally come.  Not their musical time ~ that arrived when they first appeared on the scene a quarter century ago.  But their socio-political time ~ the time they warned us about,

Matt Emery ~ Spotlight Series: Cello

With Spotlight Series: Cello, Matt Emery embarks on a new series of recordings, each focused on a single instrument.  The theme of a samurai warrior headed into battle is echoed by the composer, albeit with a smaller risk of blood, dismemberment or death.

Laura Cannell & Kate Ellis ~ These Feral Lands: A Year Documented in Sound and Art

Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter.  Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here.  Violinist and cellist Laura Cannell and Kate Ellis have sought to “document a year in sound and art,” releasing an EP on the

Justina Jaruševičiūtė ~ Silhouettes

Justina Jaruševičiūtė may become known as the woman with all the accents, but she follows in the footsteps of another accented individual who shares her initials.  Inspired by an Echo Collective concert performance of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s and Thilo Heinzmann’s album 12 conversations,

BRUIT ≤ ~ The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again

I can’t believe this is a debut album.  Toulouse post-rock quartet BRUIT ≤ (the symbol a sign of humility, meaning “less than”) certainly knows what it’s doing. Four extended stormers (one for each member), two explosive videos, a sense of largesse, and a

Origamibiro ~ Miscellany

Origamibiro was first the solo project of Tom Hill, then a duo, then an audio-visual trio, and now it has become a solo project once again, with continued contributions from Andy Tytherleig.  But one thing that hasn’t changed is that

Tomaga ~ Intimate Immensity

The final album from Tomaga (Tom Relleen and Valentina Magaletti) will forever be colored by the untimely death of Relleen last August; and the color is blue.  Blue is loss and sadness, sea and sky, inspiration and wisdom, and finally, acceptance.  Blue

Oh No Noh ~ where one begins and the other stops

Markus Rom is a one-man band who sounds like an ensemble.  He’s (literally) pulled out all the stops for his debut album, already releasing three videos and a special edition lo-fi music device with audio stem and recording capability.  There
