Timothy Fairless ~ Plural
The second time’s the charm for Timothy Fairless, as he follows last year’s 4-track, 27-minute EP with a 4-track, 29-minute EP. Measurement laid the groundwork for Plural, a unified work that could fall into any one of our seven categories, a rare

Various Artists ~ Trade & Distribution Almanac Volume Four
I recently spent a weekend in a city that seemed to play only 80s pop music. Every store, bar and radio station shared the same playlist. As I drove away at the end of the weekend, I was thankful for

Endless Melancholy ~ Her Name In A Language Of Stars
The album begins with a slow music box melody and a distant ambient wash, like stars twinkling in front of the Milky Way or Aurora Borealis ~ a perfect reflection of the album cover. This is Endless Melancholy‘s fourth full album

Ricardo Donoso ~ Machine to Machine
Ricardo Donoso is difficult to define. On the one hand, he’s part of the wild experimental duo Perispirit; on the other, he’s the curator of the Kathexis label, whose last release was Alex Menzies’ subtle soundtrack to Order & Disorder. Then

Plesiosaur~ ~ Falling
With Jurassic World all the rage this summer, it seems like a good time to be named plesiosaur~, even with the tilde. When last we encountered Tonesucker’s Steve Elsey, he was in mourning; this time, he’s stretching his wings and flying to

Tambour ~ Chapitre I
We first encountered Tambour (Montreal’s Simon P. Castonguay) on a split release with Julien Marchal, but three minutes of solo piano was not enough to form a lasting impression. Now the composer has returned with a string quartet, and the results are

Gilles Gobeil ~ Les lointains
The final piece of our empreintes DIGITALes triptych demonstrates the diversity of the label, as well as the intelligence of its artists. Québec’s Gilles Gobeil has over 25 years of recordings under his belt, but has not released a solo album since

Georges Forget ~ Le dernier présent
With tracks inspired by a Terence Malick film, a Melville novel, and poems by Baudelaire and the French sailing champion Olivier de Kersauson, Le dernier présent wears its literary heart on its sleeve. Yet it is an album of few words, the most obvious
