Snowdrops ~ Volutes
Snowdrops combines the talents of Christine Ott on piano and Ondes Martenot, Mathieu Gabry on piano and mellotron, and Anne-Irène Kempf on viola. Volutes is music for a thoughtful season: subtle rather than overt, reflective rather than reactive. We’ll begin with

Fatwires ~ The wicked Path
Yet another left turn for bassist John Eckhardt, The wicked Path once again teaches us to drop our prior expectations. We never expected to encounter a drum ‘n’ (real) bass album from the artist, although it makes perfect sense. Recording as Fatwires, he’s

Julia Bünnagel ~ Sounds Like … Vienna
I’ve fallen in love with this performance video. Many people make field recordings, but few cut out circles of concrete and play them like records. And then even fewer go out in public to share what they’ve done. To our knowledge,

James Norman ~ Micro Record Label
Micro Record Label is a delightful new book from James Norman of Brian Records fame. We’ve reviewed music from his label before, which earns us a mention at the top of page 106 and makes this book one of our favorite books

Black to Comm ~ A C of M / Mouchoir Ètanche ~ Une Fille Pétrifiée / Black to Comm ~ Oocyte Oil & Stolen Androgens
A trio of new releases from Marc Richter demonstrates the artist’s versatility. Each possesses its own flavor and appeal, and together they form a wild tapestry. A C of M is the angry one, which is to be expected as it

Meitei ~ Kofū
The third in a trilogy that began with Kwaidan and continued with Komachi, Kofū is another brilliant release from the mind of Meitei. Each release has its own timbre; the first was unsettling (and was placed in our feature Music for Haunted Houses); the second

Botany ~ End the Summertime F(or)ever
Today is the first full day of fall, the perfect day to play End the Summertime F(or)ever. On the surface, it’s easy to receive this sardonic mixtape as a commentary on the end of the season, but underneath, it’s so much

Charles Spearin & Josefin Runsteen ~ Thank God the Plague Is Over
Imagine waking up to this headline: Thank God the Plague Is Over. What a joy that would be! This was the sentiment in the mid-1300s after the Black Plague had passed, having left as many as 200 million dead in its
