IMA ~ The Flowers Die in Burning Fire
In one corner, Japanese percussionist Nava Dunkelman, trained in taiko and gamelan. In the other, Hong Kong electro-acoustic composer Amma Ateria. When the bell rings, the two women approach the center and embrace, dubbing their new partnership IMA. The Flowers Die

Kajsa Lindgren ~ Everyone is here
Where do our parents end, and where do we begin? How old must one be to become one’s own person? Answers are elusive, but on Kajsa Lindgren‘s latest album the emphasis is more on connection than disassociation. Three generations contribute music to Everyone

Hammock ~ Silencia
Silencia completes a trilogy launched by the death of a loved one. 2017’s Mysterium was a tribute to Marc Byrd’s nephew Clark Kern and the ravages of grief; 2018’s Universalis looked upward, to transcendence and peace. Silencia honors silence, not as the space between tracks but

Blind Cave Salamander ~ The Svalbard Suite / Ecker & Meulyzer ~ Carbon / Glåsbird ~ Svalbarð
Great minds think alike, or perhaps it’s just coincidence ~ but three albums about Svalbarð have been released in a short span of time, including two in a ten-day span. Each occupies a different genre, and brings something unique to the table.

Emanuele Errante ~ This World
The cover to Emanuele Errante’s latest project risks— yet subverts— a hamfisted explanation of the record’s symbolic contents. Bristling, bare tree branches stick out above four rigid, brutalist structures, as if to tell us point-blank that our world, this world,

Keaton Henson ~ Six Lethargies
Those who have enjoyed the music of Keaton Henson over the past decade may be surprised to discover his instrumental side; he’s known for tender ballads sung in the Damien Rice style, his voice a reed perpetually on the verge of breaking.

Plïnkï Plønkï’s Mïxey Wïxey
We’ve got a fun one for you today, as might be expected from a U.K. band named Plïnkï Plønkï who describes themselves as “a 50-piece ensemble that doesn’t exist.” Bucking the trend, they don’t put their own music in the

Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker ~ Little Common Twist
The long, friendly shadow of Do Make Say Think stretches across the splendid new set from Chicago improvisers Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker. Like previous collaboration Cannots, their album plays tricks with the brain. The first illusion is the cover; what at
