Charles Henri Maulini ~ Peaks
On the surface, Charles Henri Maulini‘s Peaks is simply a beautiful, life-affirming album. But below the surface, it’s much more. The album raises a host of significant psychological questions: Who are you at your deepest core? How do you respond to life’s traumatic events? What

Gianluca Favaron | Anacleto Vitolo ~ Zolfo
Crispy, crunchy, and crackly ~ these are the sounds of Zolfo. In real life, we hear such sounds in crumpling paper and leaves underfoot. In the electronic realm, they surface in cellphones, computers and amplifier feedback. Blend organic and electronic,

ACL 2016: Music for Haunted Houses
Halloween is just around the corner, which means it’s time for A Closer Listen‘s first wrap-up chart of 2016! 2016 was a particularly good year for dark music, as these selections are culled from a list many times their size. The

Kassel Jaeger ~ Onden
Black lights and heat vision goggles allow humans to see hidden aspects of the visual spectrum. Fewer aids are available for the hearing sense. When we need help, we use dogs and Geiger counters; but vast sonic worlds continue to resonate, unheard by

Andrea Borghi ~ Fuochi Rituali di San Giuseppe
As the weather turns cold and the days grow dark, the fire season waits. We split and gather logs, clean the stoves and fireplaces, and perhaps enjoy a few outdoor campfires with hot dogs and s’mores. Sure, it might be

Raffaele Mariconte ~ So(E)nology / Alan Courtis & Cyrus Pireh ~ Coils on Malbec
Oenophiles love the sounds of wine: the corkscrew, the pop, the pour, the clink. Many musical works have been produced using these sounds. But travel deeper, and one will find other sounds associated with the product and the process. In
