Ten Tracks That Sound Like Summer
According to the calendar, summer is still nine days away, but we’re already picturing the sun, the boards, the beach. Intrepid adventurers have ventured into the water early, while for those in northern climes, the wait is excruciating. It’s never

Pact Infernal ~ Infernality

Zbeen ~ Tonal Whiplash
Tonal whiplash is a dissonance between tones, a lack of narrative coherence or the evil headache caused by a nonsensical explanation.

Siavash Amini ~ TAR
Earlier this year, we predicted a trend toward darker music, and Siavash Animi‘s TAR is certainly a step in this direction. Seeking to translate fear into sound, the Iranian artist covers traditional instruments (Nima Aghiani’s violin, Pouya Pour-Amin’s double bass) with thick, angry drone.

Industrial Folklore Tapes Vol. II ~ Springs
Fred Helliwell gets the credit for this unique release, one that delves into a subject everyone knows about, but few truly understand. This week I was forced to think about springs as a nor’easter blew back my screen door, dislodging the mechanism.

Wester Ross Folklore Tapes Vol. 1 ~ Sacred Island: The Legend and Magic of Isle Maree
Folklore Tapes’ first release of the new season is another marvel, a flexi-disc accompanied by a 24-page pamphlet and keepsake coin. For many, this will be the first introduction to a tiny island in Loch Maree (Scotland), whose most memorable

Various Artists ~ The Exquisite Corpse
Let’s start with Leah Kardos’ “Little Phase”, from Bigo & Twigetti’s Summer compilation of last year. Press play ~ and then we’ll play a game. The game is called the exquisite corpse. Most of us played it with paper in primary school,
