V/A ~ Ethereal Transects: The Lore of Celestial Objects
Ethereal Transects is a perfect December album, leaning into the winter solstice. The set honors the celestial orbs of our solar system, starting with the Sun and eventually restoring a bit of Pluto’s lost honor. Each artist selected a specific body

Jen Kutler ~ Disembodied
This album is a mine field for a male reviewer, but Disembodied is also one of the strangest releases of the year, and one of the most relevant. So let’s get the concept out first: volunteers across the female spectrum were invited

Human Pyramids ~ Power Pose
Power Pose is an ebullient album, set for release on Christmas morning, just as children are opening their presents. Although it’s not a Christmas-themed set, it fits the occasion and will make a perfect alternative for those tired of hearing the

Congratulations, Sebastian Plano and Hildur Guðnadóttir (but we’re not so sure about the other nominees).
We have a love/hate relationship with the Grammy Awards, which occasionally gets something (almost) right. Congratulations to Sebastian Plano, whose album Verve received a nomination for Album of the Year … in the New Age category. We’d prefer to see it under Contemporary

Anne Müller ~ Heliopause

PYUR ~ Oratorio for the Underworld
With Oratorio for the Underworld, Sophie Schell (PYUR) surpasses the high expectations created by 2016’s Epoch Sinus. Even more, she surpasses all expectations for an album, period. Listening again to her debut LP, one can hear the roots of what would eventually become trees,
