Clara Engel ~ We Are Not Here OST

The combination of short films and instrumental artists seems like a match made in heaven, so it’s a surprise we see so few soundtrack EPs submitted to our site.  Clara Engel, normally known for her vocal work, expands her palette

Phil Tomsett ~ Broken Memory Machine

It’s great to have Fluid Audio back in business after a short layoff.  Their physical products have always been creatively packaged, typically a collection of prints and flowers, and they smell lovely.  Their only drawback is their finite nature; one

Various Artists ~ One Minute Older

Got a minute?  Four years have passed since Second Language released Minute Papillon, a collection of sixty one-minute songs with liner notes so small they had to be read with a magnifying glass (included with purchase).  In this spirit comes

möström ~ we speak whale

The genre-defying debut of female trio möström is a sparkling original, beguiling in the best sense.  These Viennese veterans of other bands (including Gustav, broken.heart.collector and The Vegetable Orchestra, dedicated to “the exploration of the acoustic properties of vegetables” – really!) have

Summer is typically a time for Jeeps and beaches, but if life starts to get a little too bright, and the happy faces are too much to take, this cassette provides a lovely dark alternative.  With a name like Teeth Engraved
