Kate Carr ~ dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday
The splendid title may sing of post-rock, but dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday is more accurately described as post-music; a set of soundscapes culled from London’s Bricklayers Arms roundabout and chopped into minuscule pieces. The album

BJ Nilsen ~ Irreal
It’s been a while since BJ Nilsen has released an album proper, although last year’s multi-month, hours-long pandemic project Pending / Auditory Scenes Amsterdam should be an album ~ it stands as one of the year’s most enduring sonic documents. Now that Nilsen is

Tiny Leaves ~ View From Here
Joel Pike (Tiny Leaves) describes View From Here as “a shifting of perspective,” but as a year has passed between genesis and release, the EP represents two perspectives, one mid-pandemic and one emerging. Last spring the artist turned to nature for solace

Year of No Light ~ Consolamentum
Although the collective has been around for twenty years, Year of No Light seems the perfect band name for our times. Their long, slow, guitar-drenched vistas are painted in undulating shades of descending doom, punctuated by periods of intense energy. The last

Hollie Kenniff ~ The Quiet Drift
A perfectly titled album from one ambient music’s leaders, The Quiet Drift makes the perfect ending to a long, hard day ~ or perhaps to a long, hard season. Hollie Kenniff seems to want nothing more than to soothe, which she accomplishes through

Dan Hayhurst ~ Counters
Sculpture’s audio half Dan Hayhurst goes from Critters to Counters on his newest album, preserving the sci-fi aspect while traveling into the realm of deep space. The music sounds like an Atari lullaby for robotic children, the only ones who might survive such a voyage.
