Jeremy Bible ~ Broken Ecologies
Jeremy Bible has done it again! Or rather, he recorded this album earlier than Human Savagery and released it later. Broken Ecologies is another ambitious project: 30 movements spanning seven tracks across four hours. Originally a 16.2 channel AV installation, this series is now

Abby Lee Tee ~ Imaginary Friends I & II / Cohabiting Species
Nature and the imagination have kept us going during the pandemic, and Abby Lee Tee offers a bit of each on two current releases. It’s often difficult to tell where the field recordings end and the instrumentation begins, but when woven

Shawn Feeney ~ Thin Places
Music for healing is a popular modern phrase, but the healing properties of music have been documented for millennia. One of the earliest well-known stories is that of King Saul, who when “tortured in spirit” summoned David to play the harp.

sleepmakeswaves ~ these are not your dreams
We’ve gone an entire season without reviewing a post-rock album, which we suspect has never happened before. We’ve been waiting for an album to blow us away. Fortunately, since sleepmakeswaves has been releasing these are not your dreams as an EP trilogy, we’ve been

Dmitry Evgrafov ~ Surrender
