Dromoscope ~ Antidigital Series

With tapes inspired by the four alchemic elements, Dromoscope’s Antidigital Series picks up where Maurizio Bianchi and Matteo Uggeri’s Between the Elements Quadrilogy left off in 2012.  By paying attention to the timbres suggested by the elements, this new series (curated by Daniele De

LENT ~ Glassware of Dry Leaves

LENT uses tape loops, backward masking, samples and stutters to create a sonic screen on which their strangest fantasies are projected.  Glassware of Dry Leaves is a perfect title, as it makes sense on an instinctual level more than a physical one.

B/B/S/ ~ Palace

In order to enjoy this double album, one needs to be in it for the long haul.  A cup of coffee helps, and a suspense novel is perfect.  Palace is tensed, coiled, continually ready to strike, but prolongs the tension until

Ólafur Arnalds ~ Late Night Tales

Hot on the heels of Nils Frahm’s Late Night Tales mix from last fall, Ólafur Arnalds steps to the plate with a mix of his own.  Like Frahm, Arnalds is not known as a DJ, but his set is more like a

Ashberry ~ In Music We Are Still Together (Art Edition)

Atay Ilgun (Ashberry) calls this edition “the most precious collection of music ever released from Wounded Wolf Press,” and having seen the hard copy in person, we have to agree.  In Music We Are Still Together is a generous offering that includes

Bjarni Gunnarsson ~ Paths

With Paths, Bjarni Gunnarsson continues on an even pace of releasing an album every three years, collecting works that debuted in various festivals and installations.  The new set is remarkably consistent, albeit difficult to predict; and that’s where the title comes into play.

Damian Valles ~ Strand

Two years after Exposure, Damian Valles returns to VoxxoV Records with Strand.  The new cover (a painting by James Whistler) may be a bit brighter than the last, but the music is just as dark.  If anything, it’s gone from bleak to dangerous.
