Somni ~ Home

Somni‘s Bloom was one of our top albums of 2018, and we’re overjoyed to welcome Leo Shulman back to our ears with Home.  Last time out, we bemoaned the fact that Bloom was a digital-only release, but the new set arrives on transparent aqua vinyl,

Thibault Jehanne ~ Farol

Thibault Jehanne shapes sound like builders shape metal. Farol may be a tribute to Lisbon’s 25 April bridge, but its reverberations seem otherworldly and unknown.  After hearing the recording, we’re not sure we’d want to drive across the bridge; it seems desperately

Jacaszek ~ Music for Film

The work of Polish composer Jacaszek has always seemed cinematic, so it’s no surprise he’s turned his talents to film.  As these films have not yet found their global audience, the appearance of this collection is a gift.  This being said,

Giulio Aldinucci ~ Shards of Distant Times

As Shards of Distant Times is the third album Giulio Aldinucci has recorded for Karlrecords, one might consider the set a triptych.  Borders and Ruins was an incredibly timely work, appearing in the early days of Brexit and Trump’s wall, while 2018’s Disappearing in a Mirror examined the

Levi Patel ~ A Shifting Lightness

It’s Lent, and New Zealand’s Levi Patel has gathered twelve friends to travel with him on his latest musical journey.  While the coincidence is likely unintentional, it’s fair to call A Shifting Lightness a spiritual pilgrimage.  The album began as an EP
