Svarta Stugan ~ A mutation and a madness
Sweden’s young Svarta Stugan is one of the more adventurous bands around; we praised their debut EP for its refusal to follow formulas, and their follow-up continues in that worthy tradition. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, these four tracks trace a protagonist’s path

Zebrat ~ Fairyland
Beyoncé had a great December. She released a surprise album, hit #1, gave away money at Walmart, granted the wish of a dying child, and in the fait accompli, received a thank you from Montreal duo Zebrat. It’s all very

A Taâlem Trio
Taâlem’s latest batch of CD3″s arrived at the end of the year, but all are suitable for winter. Tone Color‘s entry is cool and sleepy like a long hibernation; Øe (Fabio Perletta) and Enrico Coniglio’s is cold and dry like Antarctic wind;

The Echelon Effect ~ Atlantic (plus surprise side project!)
The Echelon Effect (Dave Walters) produces some of the most euphoric post-rock on the planet. After teasing us with a preview single last January and an EP last summer, he’s just released the first album of a two-part project. (Pacific and a physical
