Ólafur Arnalds ~ re:member

If you haven’t yet checked out Norman Records’ review of re:member, we urge you to do so immediately.  It’s quite funny, and underlines the way in which Ólafur Arnalds has conquered the hearts of those who adore lovely music.  But to pigeonhole Arnalds

Michael Lawrence ~ 60 Minute Cities – Philadelphia

What a great concept for an ongoing series!  Bivouac Recording’s 60 Minute Cities is already on its 33rd installment, and the project is but one of three on the site (the others being Social Tapes and Growing Up With Shanghai).  The latest installment comes from Michael

Sculpture ~ Nearest Neighbour

Over the past decade, we’ve become accustomed to experiencing Sculpture (musician Dan Hayhurst and visual artist Reuben Sutherland) as a vinyl/video combo. Nearest Neighbour flips the script with tape and graphic novel.  For those who prefer the old ways, there’s still a video

Hannes Kretzer ~ Black Noise

The term black noise can refer to a type of noise that is nearly silent, or to another type that is simply dark.  Hannes Kretzer‘s brand is the latter, although it also allows room for glimmers of light.  Much of this comes

Sven Helbig ~ Tres Momentos

Tres Momentos is a unique release from a unique composer, whose previous works have ranged from choral to electronic.  The current stringed suite is a live performance, inspired by the I Ching and accompanied by a pensive puppetry video.  Directors Omayra Martínez Garzón and

Nomad Exquisite ~ 13 Minutes or Less

Sergey Pakhomov ~ County Town Thunderstorm

A thunderstorm is a symphony of sound, with distinct movements marked by restraint and bombast.  Some last for minutes, others hours.  The storm that Sergey Pakhomov captured on July 1 in Elektrostal, Russia is particularly dramatic, with all of the elements one

Tides of Man ~ Every Nothing

Four and a half years have passed since the Tampa quartet Tides of Man released their debut Young and Courageous ~ enough time for their original website to have been taken over by an actual tide chart.  But now they’ve returned with a vengeance,
