Lawrence English ~ Wilderness of Mirrors
It’s been three years since Lawrence English‘s last album (longer than our site has been around!), but the artist has remained in the public eye through his Room40 label and his live appearances. During this time, he’s grown interested in “the

Bruno Sanfilippo ~ ClarOscuro
The phrase that comes to mind while watching Bruno Sanfilippo play the piano is “deceptively simple”. One thinks, “that doesn’t look so hard”. Then the right hand moves up an octave, the playing grows more complex, and one’s initial impression is revised.

dmGida ~ dwell&mind
dmGida‘s music falls into a category that’s so small, it doesn’t have a name. For review purposes, we’re calling it electronic, but a more proper name might be “ghostly gothic beats”. The Boston producer’s debut EP comes across as the

Socrates Martinis ~ North / Uton ~ Kähe+
This unique pair of releases from the Moremars label stretches beyond the usual confines. The first is a CD3″ nestled in a poetry chapbook; the second is a sonic exploration of non-existent Finnish words. Together, they are evidence of a

Antoine Chessex ~ Selected Chamber Works 2009-2013
We last reviewed Swiss composer Antoine Chessex two years ago when we covered Dust, a piece written for violin trio and electronics. This new collection expands the instrumentation and demonstrates the breadth of his talents. These chamber works represent only one facet

Benjamin Finger ~ The Bet + Artist Interview
Benjamin Finger‘s album packaging is always creative. The cover and title of Woods of Broccoli caught our attention, as did the bird mobile made of piano innards that accompanied Listen to My Nerves Hum. The Bet has a fine cover as well, but

Lost in the Riots ~ Move On, Make Trails
Just looking at the covers of Lost in the Riots‘ two albums, one can tell the difference: one is a winter album, and the other is a summer album. Not that last year’s Stranger in the Alps wasn’t fun; it was. But Move On,
