yadayn ~ Elders
Elders is a reflective album, rising from the ashes of an undisclosed “personal failure.” Was it a romantic relationship, a business venture, a relocation attempt? Perhaps it’s better not to know, as the album is more accessible as a result. This

Ai Yamamoto ~ Pan De Sonic ~ Iso / Monster Hurricane Wihajster ~ U nas dobrze, choć trochę strzyka w kolanach
Two new recordings turn the sounds of domestic lockdown into music. One album is percussive and electronic, the other improvisational and intimate. Together they demonstrate the creativity of artists who are unable to perform in concert halls yet find music

Martina Bertoni ~ Music for Empty Flats
Music for Empty Flats may have been recorded before the pandemic, but the conditions of its genesis are so fitting that the album now seems prescient. While alone in an undecorated flat in Reykjavik, Martina Bertoni spent a good amount of time listening
