It’s a good thing we reviewed obe‘s album teaser in 2012, because it’s taken 21 months for the full release to appear.  Fortunately, it’s been worth the wait.  The two excellent tracks of the Standard Cheese EP are included here, and are

Eric Thielemans ~ Sprang

Percussion is more than just drums, a fact that Eric Thielemans highlights on his latest effort for Miasmah.  The title is apt, as Sprang incorporates the sounds of springs and gears, plants and water.  It’s a springlike album, pun intended, perhaps the
