On the second day of our road trip, we turn north to Canada, the home of many post-rock originators. Canada’s new breed includes An Ant and An Atom, North Atlantic Drift, Northumbria and Music for Money, all of whom skirt on the edges

Premiere Mix: Cliff Dweller’s “The Golden Days of Radio”
Could this be the year’s most original mix? Spanning five decades, 1935-1985, Cliff Dweller’s “The Golden Days of Radio” is an aural walk through history with a decidedly experimental bent. It’s unlike anything else we’ve heard this year. While reviewing Cliff

Cinchel ~ A House Once Lived That Never Was
Jason Shanley (Cinchel) has surprised us once again. The last time we reviewed Cinchel, we encountered quarter-hour drones on limited edition vinyl sealed with green wax. This time out, we find a gorgeous zine and 25 short tracks spanning the

James Murray ~ Mount View
In 2012, James Murray released Floods, a metaphorical reaction to annual flooding in the Welsh mountains. A meditation on loss, The Land Bridge, followed in 2013. The deeply personal Mount View completes this trilogy. Quiet and meditative, it still manages to convey a sense

Geins’t Naït + Laurent Petitgand ~ Je vous dis
When the work of a decades-old recording act still sounds potent, we know that we are in the presence of talent. The post-industrial sounds of Geins’t Naït are balanced here by the modern composition of Laurent Petitgand, to this date best known for his

Roll the Dice ~ Until Silence
There’s nothing that can’t be improved by adding an orchestra. Stockholm duo Roll the Dice was already an industry favorite, thanks in great part to their 2011 breakthrough album, In Dust. Until Silence puts them over the top. This is sonic experimentation at
