Treha Sektori & Muhd ~ The Sense of Dust and Sheer
This 25-minute, single-track CD is part of a larger project, the hardbound book The Sensation of Being One of Them, credited to Dehn Sora, who is also part of Treha Sektori. It’s one of the most beautiful photo books we’ve seen in a while,

Jim Perkins ~ Constance
Fresh off the success of the collaborative Variables, Bigo & Twigetti founder Jim Perkins returns with an all-new venture. Constance conjures aural images of classic chamber music while providing ample amounts of 21st century inflection. The full orchestration – nine total players, including

Julia Kent ~ Asperities
Asperities is as close to commercial as one can get in modern composition without compromise. Accessible yet deep, Julia Kent‘s cello-based music provides an entry point to those who might not otherwise have considered listening to instrumental music. Her new album offers

Ruhe ~ Patriarchs
Ruhe has been one of our favorite artists for a while, and Patriarchs proves that he can still surprise. More piano-based than recent works (especially Chamber Loops, released earlier this year on Dauw), the new album seems like the work of an artist who

We Stood Like Kings ~ USSR 1926
We Stood Like Kings steps one year deeper into the past with its latest release, the follow-up to Berlin 1927. Like that release, the LP is a new score to an old film, this one being Dziga Vertov’s Russian classic A Sixth Part

Fossil Aerosol Mining Project ~ The Day 1982 Contaminated 1971
At this time of year, we begin searching for October music: haunted, disconcerting and dark. The Day 1982 Contaminated 1971 nails the mood. Detuned radios, disembodied dialogue and fragments of sound drift down deserted hallways like echoes in an abandoned institution.

Mono & The Ocean ~ Transcendent
Mono & The Ocean‘s split 12″ follows the template of the recently reviewed All We Expected/Raum Kingdom split LP. Mono’s side is instrumental, The Ocean’s has vocals, and yet both are complimentary. One might say that the groundwork was laid
