indignu ~ Odyssea
indignu has made great strides since releasing its debut album, Fetus in fetu, in 2010. What’s that, you say? You haven’t heard of them? This Portuguese post-rock quintet may have flown under the international radar until now, but 2013 should be their

Artificial Memory Trace ~ Tidal
After some experimentation, I’ve decided that the best time to listen to Tidal is when one is unable to get to the beach. When one is able, one simply goes to the beach and experiences these sounds in person. This is instead an
