Harry Edwards / Alex Kozobolis ~ music for Ghadala
We keep an eye (and ear) out for distinctive physical releases, and music for Ghazala is one of them: a short film available on DVD accompanied by its digital score, available separately. The project has been a labor of love for pianist Alex

Ryan Huber ~ Astor
If this album sounds futuristic, it’s for good reason; it was recorded this summer, and released in late spring. Yes, Ryan Huber has managed to crack the space-time continuum! Astor is also evidence of a new direction for the artist (also known as

W00DY ~ RNBW
As colorful as the rainbow of the title, RNBW is a joyous clash of genres: dance, drone, ethereal, industrial, and even noise. Refreshingly original, this debut full-length does much to reflect its inspiration: “the full spectrum of who we are.” Modern associations

Tiny Leaves ~ A Certain Tide
A Certain Tide is the next step in the evolution of Joel Pike. The artist’s early endeavors were hazy, ambient-laced piano EPs, but over the years, he slowly added strings and inched his way toward modern composition. As the artist developed
