Bruno Sanfilippo ~ Inside Life
Even after twenty years, Bruno Sanfilippo‘s sound continues to develop. In last year’s review of ClarOscuro, we noted that we liked the artist’s new direction: subtler electronics and supporting strings. The piano remains the central instrument, but a light dusting of sugar

Elizabeth Anderson ~ L’envoi
Tackling William Blake, Madeline L’Engle, Mayan culture, solar winds, WWII, 9/11 and more on a single set is a daunting challenge, but somehow Elizabeth Anderson manages to pull it off. It helps that the majority of the album is instrumental, as lyrics

Phirnis/Katarrhaktes ~ Sleepers
This second collaborative effort (following last year’s Lovers single) from Vienna’s Phirnis and London’s Katarrhaktes presents two like-minded artists at the top of their game. It’s amazing how well their sounds mesh together, but once one learns their stories, it’s less of a surprise; instead,

Ghost Flute & Dice ~ melody is god
First off: a great name, as the unique moniker makes one want to know more. Ghost Flute & Dice is Copenhagen composer Mikkel Almholt, who specializes in amplified piano and first appeared as a solo artist four years ago. Second: great presentation,

Foresteppe ~ Diafilms
As one of the coldest winters on record continues in the States, it’s nice to know that others are going through the same thing. As I write this, it’s -18C in New York and -28C in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia; our

Lawrence English ~ Viento
Lawrence English’s follow-up to Shadow of the Monolith continues his exploration of Antarctic sounds, but is a much more visceral and immediate work than its predecessor. On this LP, English presents two side-long recordings of winter fury. Given such conditions, most reasonable

offthesky ~ Light Loss
Hot on the heels of Possession, a Valentine’s Day album recorded with Carl Ritger and Cody Yantis, Jason Corder (offthesky) enlists the help of eight musicians for Light Loss. The new work traces the arc of descending winter from first chill to dreary

Erik Nyström ~ Morphogenèse
Most albums are instantly accessible, their underlying concepts easily penetrable by the common public. Not so Morphogenèse, an album that travels from deep sea to deep space, searching for boundaries yet finding only greater expanses. The track descriptions can be intimidating, so
