Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ Mary Magdalene OST
Our long goodbye to Jóhann Jóhannsson continues with the release of his final film score, co-composed with frequent collaborator Hildur Guðnadóttir. The score is elegant, powerful, and memorable. Unfortunately, these words have not been applied to the movie, typically described as “slow.”

Various Artists ~ Solstice/Peaks
Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, known as the first day of summer and (oddly) midsummer. We’ve come to know the Archives and Faint labels for their winter music, but their two new compilations stretch

Plïnkï Plønkï ~ Happy Birthday

Valentina Villarroel ~ Mares
Valentina Villarroel is one of the most unassuming artists we’ve even encountered. Content to let her work speak for itself, she provides only sparse descriptions. In a single sentence, she writes that Mares was recorded at “different locations around the region of Bio

Lapsihymy ~ Collections 02
We’ve been championing the career of Finnish artist Lapsihymy since he was a teen, and with Collections 02 he’s continued to perfect his sound. His mastering continues to be crisp and loud, his tunes enveloping, swirling like Amazonian butterflies. He deserves to be as

Detieti ~ Frogressive Punk
You knew this was odd when you saw it, right? That’s what a cover can do: tip off the listener to what may be inside. When one hears the giant chords of the opener, the high operatic voice, the military
