Stearica ~ Golem 202020
The themes of post-rock ~ cinematic vistas, light and dark, a sense of catharsis ~ are well-suited to scoring classic films, whose original soundtracks were often performed by a lone pianist. Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (1920) just

Sébastien Guérive ~ Omega Point
If you’re going to make your own sci-fi soundtrack, it’s always best to have visuals: to “put your money where your mouth is,” so to speak. Sébastien Guérive does this by enlisting the aid of Thomas Blanchard, whom our readers may recognize

Mattia Loris Siboni ~ Quiet Area suite
Mattia Loris Siboni asks, “how many types of silence exist?” The framework is reminiscent of Deborah Underwood and Renata Liwska’s The Quiet Book, which explores quiet ~ and silence ~ as multi-nuanced entities. One suspects Siboni would enjoy The Quiet Book, as the

Whettman Chelmets ~ For…
Whettman Chelmets has recorded some very dark music in the past, but For… is a beacon of light, with one of the warmest endings we’ve heard all year. While other pandemic-related sets concentrate on a single aspect ~ fear, isolation, quarantine ~ this

Machinefabriek ~ With Drums
In prior years, we’ve described Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) as prolific, creative, visionary, and a host of other terms ~ but this is the first time we’ve described one of his releases as fun. When label and artist proclaimed that With Drums “doesn’t sound

Rutger Hoedemaekers ~ The Age of Oddities
While we haven’t finished saying goodbye to Jóhann Jóhannsson, we may have found his successor. Not that Rutger Hoedemaekers wanted to carry such a torch; he’d rather have his friend alive. The Age of Oddities pays tribute to the beloved composer, now three years

Aries Mond ~ Gaps and Shortcuts
“Would some people be crazy enough to throw sand to the sky and take pictures until something happen(s)?” This is the question asked of Aries Mond concerning cover artist Claire Droppert, who tags the image, “creatures are born in frozen moments of weightlessness.”
