Chapelier Fou ~ Muance
When an electronic artist makes a joyful noise with the cello, violin and clarinet, should it still be considered electronic music, or is it modern composition? French artist Chapelier Fou (Louis Warynski) splits the sonic difference on his latest release, treating listeners

Aris Kindt ~ Swann and Odette
Of the copious entry points into Aris Kindt’s Swann and Odette, the notion of memory—in all its complex wonderment—serves as the most logical. Francis Harris and Gabe Hedrick meld an impressive range of styles to bring their Proustian evocations to

Esmerine ~ Mechanics of Dominion
Constellation Records continues to be on a tear, the latest Esmerine record its crown jewel, eclipsing even the latest Saltland LP from Rebecca Foon. The themes of that album remain intact, and are amplified here: the world is in disarray, climate change

Baccam/Chayer, Broken Shoulder ~ Les angoisses nocturnes/Hiruma no tachikurami
There’s something in the walls, rustling, skittering, threatening to find its way out, likely in the most unexpected and terrifying manner. This is the sound of Chittakone Baccam (Hazy Montagne Mystique) and Yannick Chayer, who start this split release with a

This music is being reviewed because of a cat. Not because of the inspiration ~ each track based on a character from Pedro Almodóvar’s “Habla Con Ella” (“Talk to Her”), offering an appropriately cinematic entry point. Not because of the

Byron Westbrook ~ Body Consonance
Hands in the Dark calls Byron Westbrook‘s new album “far from ambient”, and we agree; this active music, its notes like agitated atoms. Leah Beeferman’s cover art is a perfect representation: both form and flow, seemingly random yet carefully planned, smudged

Stafrænn Hákon ~ Hausi
This album is pure enjoyment ~ so warm, so inviting, so enveloping that the struggle behind it may be obscured. Icelandic composer Ólafur Josephsson has taken a long sonic journey to arrive at this point. Originally the sole member of Stafrænn
