Logan McBroom ~ Orchestra Death
The eye is drawn to Iris Childres’ intense cover art: a woman is dangled and decapitated, and yet there’s no blood. She seems resigned, even defiant; no scream escapes her lips, no contorted mask of pain. She seems alive and

Isobel Ccircle~ ~ The House in the Harbour
Once one gets past the name of the duo, a moniker that defies spell checking, one is freed to enjoy the music: in this case, a haunted house tape based on a detective’s personal journals. Coffin bells ring, specters glide

Gil Sansón ~ Ese maldito yo/El ocaso del pensamiento
Some crazy stuff is happening in A.F. Jones’ stunning video for Gil Sansón‘s “pensamiento en su ocaso,” as it is all across the tape: time-distorted samples of Sun Ra, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, ELP and more. It’s all a reaction to

Stage Hands ~ S/T
A follow-up of sorts to The Meets’ It Happens Outside, Stage Hands finds Brandon Locher collaborating with Gerald Mattis and friends for a head-nodding rock and electronic experience. Fittingly, this short, fun LP has found a home on My Idea of Fun,

Kreng ~ The Summoner
Don’t be fooled by the incredible teaser, which features the grinding doom and screaming vocals of Amenra. The Summoner is a subdued album that culminates in cacophony. But watch: here are the dozen stringed instruments, the long, slow draws. This is

Jasmine Guffond ~ Yellow Bell
Formerly known as Jasmina Maschina and Minit, Jasmine Guffond comes to this ball under her own name. While her music has been (fairly) compared to that of Grouper, her work is primarily instrumental; impressions are formed by sound, rather than lyric. One

The Union Trade ~ A Place of Long Years
San Francisco quartet The Union Trade calls its new LP a “re-emergence,” and for very good reason. Having skated on the edges of instrumental post-rock for nearly a decade, the band now goes “mostly unpeopled.” The result is a triumphant new set. Fans will still
