Ben Jacov ~ Transalp
Transalp wasn’t recorded in the Alps, nor does it sound particularly frosty; but the cover image connotes cold, reflecting Ben Jacov’s desire to find a place in which all color and contour are lost. The artist celebrates the experience of white ~

Charles-Eric Charrier ~ Petite Soeur
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from bassist / pianist Charles-Eric Charrier, who last impressed us with 2011’s elegant Silver. He moves in two directions on Petite Soeur, polishing his sound on the vinyl portion while saving his deeper experiments for

Maxwell August Croy and Sean McCann ~ I
The first team-up for these noteworthy musicians, I is a lovely and original-sounding release. Last year, Sean McCann‘s Music for Private Ensemble made a big splash around these parts, as the artist performed every part himself. We were hoping to hear a collaboration, for

Section 27 ~ Sectioned v4.0
Why would one take the time to listen to a 101-track, eight hour compilation? That’s easy ~ if one likes the type of music, is eager to hear more, and is open to the discovery of new artists, one will

Montag ~ Trepezzi
Italian quartet Montag makes a huge splash with its debut release Trepezzi: half an hour of hard-edged, quality post-rock in the vein of Neil On Impression. We’ve missed this sort of music. Montag isn’t trying to lull or cross over; the concentration is

Anduin / Steven Vitiello ~ Richmond Tape Club 4B & 5
The Richmond Tape Club series returns in April with five new releases as the bands gear up for RVA Noise Fest III. Jonathan Lee’s roster will provide a welcome respite from the festival’s “eardrum destroying acts”, as many travel in

Christina Vantzou ~ No. 2
Listening again to Christina Vantzou‘s No. 1 (2011), I’m reminded again of how lovely the Dead Texan’s work has been all along, from the gossamer beauty of “Homemade Mountains” to the string-laden centre of “Super Interlude Part 2”. Comparisons to A Winged Victory

Saåad ~ Deep/Float
Once upon a time, a vinyl release was taken for granted; now it’s a goal to which artists aspire. After numerous releases over the course of five years, Saåad has finally scored its first LP. We share in the duo’s joy,
