Linea Aspera ~ II

Linea Aspera’s first EP was a mostly vocal affair, while the British duo’s follow-up is mostly instrumental.  But it’s not just instrumental, it’s weird instrumental – no surprise, as the clear vinyl comes from Weyrd Son Records, who knew they had a winner on

snacs ~ swim tape

The phrase “swim tape” inspires images of a plastic boom box by a pool, a whiff of chlorine, a dedicated athlete poised to practice.  Reflecting its title, swim tape blends laid-back beats with murky vocals and produces an impression of music heard

Umber/Drops EP

Friendship is a wonderful thing, especially between like-minded artists. Drops and Umber have both been reviewed on our site, and their split EP is a happy reminder of what called them to our attention in the first place.  Their positive

Botany ~ Lava Diviner (Truestory)

Spencer Stevenson released his debut 45 in 2010, but the ensuing years have been well spent.  Lava Diviner (Truestory) is an amplification of themes introduced on Feeling Today, and enriches the Botany sound. Even as a child, Stevenson was interested in sampling, toying with

Depatterning ~ The Huddled Tone Eps

Aw, what’s in the box?  It’s too small to be Gwyneth Paltrow’s head, so it’s probably some sort of keepsake.  Oh, what a nice surprise!  It’s a set of old photographs, a trio of CD3″s, a stamp and a coin!

Jeff Carey ~ [3:30]

The perfect pop single is 3:30 in length and is the starting point for this EP.  Yet despite their radio-friendly length, these six nuggets will never make the pop charts.  This is a shame, because even the edgiest pop smash,

Neg-Fi ~ Unmergency

When it comes to physical releases, some companies just mail it in.  Not so Geweih Ritual Documents, whose attention to detail is astonishing.  The limited edition of the label’s latest cassette glows in the dark.  And that cover art!  Metallic
