There’s an easy way for instrumental acts to publicize their message, so easy it’s amazing so few think of it: put the message on the cover. This way, even a digital downloader will see the words. Congratulations to Gabriel Gutierrez

Last Days ~ Fragments
If you’ve ever made a mixtape or playlist, you’ve likely encountered the same problems as Graham Richardson (Last Days). Sometimes there are too many tracks to shove into a small space. Sometimes a track you love doesn’t match the timbre

Simon Scott ~ Soundings
Where were you when Slowdive was formed back in 1989? NOT BORN YET?!! Thanks a lot, you’ve just made Simon Scott and I feel old. But there’s a huge difference between old and irrelevant and old and vital, and Scott lands firmly on the

Teeth of the Sea ~ WRAITH
Ten years have passed since Orphaned by the Ocean, and Teeth of the Sea is still going strong. (Having formed in 2006, the band is now a teenager ~ look out, world!). So why don’t the musicians look happy? It’s partially due

Snow Palms ~ Everything Ascending
Here’s a fun one, as Snow Palms returns with a new lineup and a new sound. At first, Snow Palms was a solo venture for mallet instrumentalist David Sheppard with friends; Origin and Echo made a big impact when it was released in

Trio Ramberget ~ Musik att somna till / Gleb Kanasevich ~ Asleep
Sleep and music have an intimately complex relationship. In the last few years, researchers have used music to improve sleep for various groups, from burn victims to PTSD patients; yet the nature of their restorative powers remains a scientific mystery.

Anatole ~ Emulsion
One minute into Emulsion, something unexpected happens. After vibraphone, snare drum, and acoustic bass build alongside a lulling piano motif, a breakbeat groove slices through the arrangement. In its wake: a choppy piano loop and thumping, gridline percussion. Despite its early

Yodok III ~ This Earth We Walk Upon
This Earth We Walk Upon has a lot in common with last week’s Super Bowl. Nothing happens for quite a long time, leaving the highlights bunched up at the very end. But after analysis, we realize that a lot was happening
