Širom ~ A Universe that Roasts Blossoms for a Horse
Two years ago, we reviewed I Can Be a Clay Snapper, from Slovenian trio Širom. Their highly unique sound continues to be undefinable; in the same way that Dead Can Dance expanded the lines of world music, Širom challenges assumptions of

Valotihkuu ~ By the River
Last summer we covered Valotihkuu‘s Fragile Melodies, an album so lovely it sent us back to discover all of the earlier works by the Russian composer. A month after the review, he released another album, and since then he’s released a few

Odd Nosdam ~ Flippies Best Tape / DEADBEAR ~ World Music Market

Lucas Norer ~ Disposition
