Silent Strike & Makunouchi Bento ~ Ghostophonia
Ghostophonia is a tribute to Romanian music, a mix of classic and modern styles, simultaneously nostalgic and forward-looking. The heart of the release is a series of wax cylinders recorded by Béla Bartók a century ago, capturing the folk music of Banat,

Jeads ~ Under the Veneer
Under the Veneer is a winter album, although not the sort of winter album one expects. The set is meant to evoke feelings of home and safety: a hearth, a blanket, a shelter from the cold. The music coats the listener

Gilroy Mere ~ Over the Tracks

Racine ~ Quelche Chose Tombe
Quelche Chose Tombe (Something Falls) is a mirror of modern anxiety, laying forth fear and anguish in equal measure. The music is suitably dark, dangling on the edge of drone yet marked by blackened electronic beats. Uncertainty is the new normal,
