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
We think of our favourite albums as timeless; but music is the most durational artform. From the classical symphony to the field recording, music makes us conscious of the passage of time. When the needle hits the groove, it should

V/A ~ Seconde Nature – Nature & Renaturation

Tambour ~ Constellations (ou comment arrêter le temps)
Montreal’s Tambour (Simon P. Castonguay) released two EPs in 2015 and 2016 that were later folded into an LP. Since then he’s been quiet, save for the exquisite winter single “Silhouettes.” As Chapitre I was one of the first releases on the Moderna label,

Hugar ~ Varða

Pillars ~ Cavum
Can a post-rock band be both massive AND melodic? Absolutely. This is the arena of Indianapolis (Indiana) quartet Pillars, who live so close to October’s POST! festival that they can sleep in their own beds. “Dissolution” was the album’s lead single,
