Adrian Lane ~ Playing With Ghosts
Perhaps the most important thing to say about this album is that it does not sound like The Caretaker. We write this because the comparisons have been made to such an extent that readers may have already made the association. Each composer

Smileswithteeth ~ Suddenly Constantly
If you’re scouring the web for a short, sugary, summer blast, Smileswithteeth delivers. The artist otherwise known as Gabriel Gutierrez has been consistently bringing the goods, and this time he’s landed an especially cool cover, courtesy of the curiously monikered deadtheduck. Despite

Stephen Whittington / Zephyr Quartet ~ Windmill
With its trio of August releases, Cold Blue Music reaches the milestone of 50. The label is known as the home of John Luther Adams, but there’s a lot more talent on its roster. Australian composer Stephen Whittington is a prime

Falling Into Birds ~ S/T
The cover is intriguing. The angles are askew, the focus is fuzzy, and birds and eggs decorate the distorted landscape. Then there’s that duck, whose eyes lie on one side of its head like a flatfish. The message: this isn’t

Joydah ~ Jouissance
On the surface, Jouissance is a perfect summer album, tailor-made for a drive to the beach, sunroof down, passengers using their hands as planes. The flow is exquisite, the beats divine, the samples so cleverly integrated that their origins are completely obscured.

Alder & Ash ~ Clutched in the Maw of the World
Clutched in the Maw of the World confirms everything that we proclaimed last year about the talents of Alder & Ash (Adrian Copeland). Copeland has the skill and ambition to rival his contemporaries, and to do for the cello what Colin Stetson

I/O ~ Anyone, Anywhere
Boston post-rock septet I/O has come a long way in three years. 2014’s Saudade was a solid debut, albeit nondescript. Anyone, Anywhere adds brass and strings and dares listeners to dismiss it. The tasteful integration of these elements, along with careful sequencing, lifts the band’s
