Human as Possible ~ We Need
Is this a 75-minute album or a 37.5 minute album? Both. The tracks on each side of the cassette are designed to be played simultaneously. While this may seem to some like a gimmick, it’s not; it’s a careful construction

Library Tapes ~ Europe, She Loves
Love, sex, dancing, drugs, unemployment and the immigration crisis ~ all of these are found in the trailer for the film Europe, She Loves. That’s a lot for a movie to handle, and a challenge for the people who score it.

Kinbrae ~ Tidal Patterns
Tidal Patterns is a lovely mix of field recordings and warm instrumentation, a tribute to Scotland’s secluded Isle of Coll. Brothers Andy and Mike Truscott surround the birds and seas with soft, swaying melancholy, but their music is so inviting that

Kjartan Sveinsson ~ Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen
We don’t review much opera ~ our last one was Colin Stetson’s Sorrow. But Kjartan Sveinsson‘s Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen (The Explosive Sonics of Divinity) is too solid to ignore. The former Sigur Rós member offers a gorgeous, heartfelt work on double

The End is a tale of two albums, the first lighthearted and twee, the second haunted and dark. It’s like The Caretaker decided to go on a bender before sobering up and returning to his normal pursuits. This all amounts to
