Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld ~ Never were the way she was
It’s a lovely thing when two solo artists mesh – in this instance, saxophonist / clarinetist Colin Stetson and violinist Sarah Neufeld. Each artist is coming off an artistic triumph (Stetson’s New History Warfare series and Neufeld’s solo debut Hero Brother), and each has developed a solid

Matana Roberts ~ Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee
Coin Coin Chapter Three is one of the best albums of 2015. How do we know this already? Because in the modern era, there has never been a year in which ten albums were better than this one. Matana Roberts is a

Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy ~ Sintetizzatrice
Ambient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis. Donato Dozzy layers and

SOL ~ Where Suns Come to Die
The Cold Spring label has been a leader in the field of dark ambience for over a quarter century now, enough to have spawned second generation listeners. While early adopters are still enjoying their Merzbow discs, late arrivals may claim

A Kohlenstoff Records Trio
Last month, Montreal’s Kohlenstoff Records released a trio of experimental releases on the same day: new works from Liz Helman, Line Katcho and Ezequiel Esquenazi. Each of these works has its own distinctive appeal. This is no surprise from the

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Ütopiya?
Certain albums lend themselves to certain natural environments: home listening, club, car ride, airline trip. Ütopiya? is the perfect album for a stroll through an urban environment. I realized this last week while walking in Manhattan with my iPod. Unlike

Software of Seagulls ~ Sunrise Industry
If paired differently, the names of artist and album would make more sense: “Seagull Sunrise” and “The Industry of Software.” The fact that Chris Perren mixes them up is a sign that the album is a hybrid. (We also doubt
