Ondrej Zajac ~ ICU
Those who spend a lot of time in intensive care units (as visitors, patients or staff), grow accustomed not only to their sounds, but to their feel. Sonically, an intense maelstrom of beeps and buzzes, collapses and cries threatens to overwhelm.

Rokaia ~ See | Dwell
We have a very good feeling about Limerick, Ireland’s Rokaia, whose debut release seems a harbinger of things to come. See | Dwell may be a short beginning, but it’s a strong one. Like Ian William Craig, Holly Herndon and Katie Gately,

Mark John McEncroe ~ Dark Clouds in Life
Dark Clouds in Life is a rare creature, an album about depression that isn’t depressing. Through it all ~ and especially in the album’s core, “Natalie’s Suite” ~ the composer remains empathetic and above all, hopeful. Due to its approach, the

Lullatone ~ Thinking About Thursdays
How would Japan’s Shawn and Yoshimi (Lullatone) follow up their happy set of seasonal EPs? By releasing a song every Thursday for a year, leaving a contrail of joyful, exuberant, child-friendly music in their wake, like 52 toys dropped on

木目鳥 ~ Mokumedori
Performance artist Mokumedori goes all out. She creates a distinct persona (actually a pair of personas, big Mokumedori and little Mokumedori), makes her own masks and props, and decorates her stages and songs with fairy tale images and sounds. She’s an original

Kryshe ~ Insights
Insights by Kryshe is a wonderful surprise. I had no prior knowledge of the artist, or how the music might sound. But after I listened to it, I was happy I knew nothing at all beforehand. While the music is

Umor Rex ~ March Batch
Moody soundscapes, crisp electronics, suspense film synth and layered voice: the four artists in Umor Rex’s March Batch might not attend the same parties, but they are united here by date and design. This may be the label’s best batch
