Sebastián Maria ~ ÁeÁe
Sebastián Maria writes, “ÁeÁe is an album for the dance floor in a time when dance floors don’t exist.” It’s a strange conundrum. As we wait for clubs to re-open, we’re storing up a wild array of spectacular music, which means

New Label ~ Obscure & Terrible
With this post, we welcome new Seattle label Obscure & Terrible, founded by Josh Medina. “Obscure” fits the bill, as the focus is on the experimental artists of the Pacific Northwest; “Terrible” refers not to quality, but to grandeur, as in

Galya Bisengalieva ~ Aralkum

Matt Wilson Quartet ~ Hug!
Matt Wilson Quartet‘s late summer Hug! is a hopeful reminder of one of the things we miss the most. While a virtual hug is not a hug, a sonic hug can offer a form of internal warmth. This is the drummer’s 14th
