Sea Charms ~ Mystery Tapes
I’ve fallen fast for these Sea Charms. This is a fun, homespun project, with Crystal on synth and Jess on sax. The first two Mystery Tapes are taken from practice sessions, reflecting free-flowing, semi-improvisational play. Add some arts and crafts ~ plastic toys,

bvdub ~ Heartless

We Stood Like Kings ~ USA 1982
Brussels quartet We Stood Like Kings has no shortage of ambition. After releasing scores for the silent films Berlin and A Sixth Part of the World, they’ve chosen to tackle a more modern film that is known for its score. It’s hard to think of Koyaanisqatsi without

Monty Adkins ~ A Year at Usher’s Hill
We’re not sure where Usher’s Hill is located, but based on the look and sound of this set, it’s a beautiful place: bucolic, green, sedate. One pictures sheep at pasture, blankets spread upon the ground, petals falling slowly in the
