Felipe Otondo ~ Night Studies

Five years have passed since Chilean composer Felipe Otondo released Tutuguri, but there’s no mistaking his sound.  The sounds of the Javanese gamelan orchestra, collected during his many travels, are given a gloss that is distinctly his.  The smoothness of Otongo’s timbres are

Jerusalem In My Heart ~ Daqa’iq Tudiaq

There’s a lot to unpack with this record, but the easiest entry point is just to listen.  What do you hear?  What do you associate with what you hear?  How does the music make you feel? Arabic music sounds different

Puce Mary ~ The Drought

Copenhagen’s Puce Mary makes her first showing on our site with her best album to date.  Torbjørn Rødland’s striking cover imagery is reminiscent of Kirk Weddle’s work on Nirvana’s Nevermind. The comparison is even more apt when one links Frederikke Hoffmeier and Kurt Cobain as

Rhian Sheehan ~ A Quiet Divide

More than a dozen guest stars perform on Rhian Sheehan‘s lush opus A Quiet Divide, which straddles multiple genres, from ambient to post-rock to modern composition.  I’ve been a fan of the New Zealand composer ever since he offered a tiny music

The Penitential Station ~ The Cloud of Forgetting

Before there was Ian William Craig, there was Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose masses form the spiritual architecture of the astonishingly beautiful The Cloud of Forgetting.  Hard day at the office?  Troubles in a close relationship?  Existential crisis?  There’s nothing like the

Enofa ~ Arboretum

Music that looks like fall, sounds like fall and is issued in fall, Arboretum is the perfect album for autumn.  One would think this practice more common, but sadly only a few artists have chosen to summon their fall muse in 2018.
