Ben McElroy ~ 1,000 Sewing Machines
Nottingham’s multi-disciplinary Ben McElroy has been coming on strong in recent months, with a pair of short, enchanting EPs followed by an alluring album. We were drawn in by the cover, but once we heard the music, we realized that this was

Nicolas Montgermont ~ Radioscapes

Maxime Corbeil-Perron and Félix-Antoine Morin ~ Political Ritual
As Political Ritual, Maxime Corbeil-Perron and Félix-Antoine Morin offer sequences of disparate tones ~ sometimes tonal opposites, often at war ~ and invite listeners to hear their own metaphors. The album is a great experiment on impressions, as this simple prompt leads
