VLNA ~ Turquoise Threads
The title of VLNA‘s debut album brings to mind Ellen Meloy’s study The Anthropology of Turquoise, as well as Tobias Hellkvist’s album Turquoise, released last year. The color – and the mineral after which it is named – receive scant attention, but inspire

ACL Singles Chart ~ August 2014
The first day of August is a reminder to take advantage of summer while we still can. It’s still warm, it’s still sunny, the beaches are still open and the ice cream trucks are still rolling by. And yet, we’ve

Ian Humberstone and David Chatton Barker ~ Theo Brown and the Folklore of Dartmoor
This box set is an astonishment: a multi-format release so comprehensive that one wonders at the time, effort and love that were required to create it. The sixth and most elaborate of the Folklore Tapes series, Theo Brown and the Folklore

Matthew Collings ~ Silence Is A Rhythm Too
Last year we reviewed Matthew Collings‘ Splintered Instruments, which is being re-released on Denovali along with the current album. The instrumentation is even stronger this time around, highlighted by a brass ensemble and string quartet, and the vocals have been dropped. While

Lodsb ~ Helicon 1
Australia’s Retort Records has been on a tear since May, releasing two 7″s, three EPs and two full-length albums. While Kashiwa Daisuke is the label’s best known name, IDM artist Lodsb is their crown jewel, and Helicon 1 is the artist and label’s best

Ulises Conti ~ Los Griegos creían que las estrellas eran pequeños agujeros por donde los dioses escuchaban a los hombres
After publishing the name of the album (whose rough translation is The Greeks believed that the stars were small holes where the gods listened to men), will there be any room left for the review? There’s hardly enough room for the

Pjusk ~ Solstøv
On its fourth album, Norwegian duo Pjusk essentially becomes a quartet. Rune Sagevik and Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik focus their attention on the timbres of Kåre Nymark Jr.’s trumpet, while 12k’s Taylor Deupree contributes gentle electronic manipulations. Solstøv is a slice of mood cut
