Francisco López ~ Two-Headed Snake

Until recently, sound artist Francisco López has been known for his hundreds of solo releases; that’s about to change with the digital debut of label Two-Headed Snake.  Each album pairs López with a second artist (the two-headed snake), and offers two tracks,

Hauschka with Rob Petit and Robert Macfarlane ~ Upstream

Late last year, a gorgeous half-hour film appeared online, streamed by Emergence.  Upstream is now back on the film festival circuit, and comes highly recommended, especially for those who enjoyed Esther Kokmeijer’s Stillness.  The films share a slow-moving depth, an environmental tug and

The Tin Box ~ Play

Last spring, we reviewed Places, a charming EP from Brooklyn’s The Tin Box, which was a highlight from Hibernate’s 26-release benefit for the homeless.  The artist followed this with Places II in the fall, rounding the project to album length.  This year, The Tin

Philip Sulidae ~ Vandemonian Verplaatsing / Simon Whetham ~ Dry

Two new recordings from Unfathomless approach field recordings from different angles.  One is location based, the other theme based.  Together they form an intricate lattice of sound. Vandemonian Verplaatsing (the latter word meaning displacement) collects recordings made in Hobart, Tasmania over a

Badmixday ~ Goya

Progressing from the trip-hop flavors of his debut album A Quiet Mind Awaits, Istanbul’s Anıl Berk Çetin (Badmixday) plunges into different forms of music, informed by jazz and experimentalism.  Goya nudges in the direction of a signature sound, a clear sign

Wendra Hill ~ Ungdomskilden

Ungdomskilden is odd in all the best ways.  The entry points are spoken word samples: a woman hawking the praises of laminate, a man counseling comfort around snakes.  But beneath these lie the artistry of improvising collective Wendra Hill, a Norwegian duo

Illuvia ~ Iridescence of Clouds

Those who follow Los Angeles label A Strangely Isolated Place already know that every vinyl edition looks sublime; but the newest double-vinyl album from Iluvia may be their best yet.  Prince would be proud to see this pair of purple eggs.  And while the

Gizeh Records may be located in the U.K., but Static Hymns to No One seems like the perfect selection for Inauguration Day in the U.S.  The music is mournful and melancholic, an elegy for all that has been lost and much
