Uton / Sunhiilow ~ Garden & Cosmos (Split)

Three layers of styrofoam, paper and tape protected my copy of Garden & Cosmos, a sign of careful packaging, intimating a precise approach to music.  I didn’t get a sea star (missed it by just 4!) but that’s okay ~

Aloonaluna / Motion Sickness of Time Travel ~ Split

Collage is the key word for understanding this release.  First there’s Michael Tunk’s cover art, which attracted us in the first place.  Then there’s the label’s gallery page dedicated to the craft.  Now add the surreal and beguiling art of Lynn

Le Poisson d’Argent ~ YOUTH EP

This Montreal EP sounds different than it looks, but given the world’s recent fascination with zombies, one can hardly begrudge the visuals.  If we had only seen the titles (“Early Mornings”, “Boredom”, “Tree”) and heard the music (a lovely blend

Public Service Broadcasting ~ Inform – Educate – Entertain

Summer’s guilty pleasure comes from Southampton duo Public Service Broadcasting, the rare ACL band to appear on the pop charts and to receive widespread mainstream attention.  The duo comes across as an odd blend of Coldcut and iLiKETRAiNS, in that they

Philippe Lamy, Jérémie Mathes and Jannick Shou ~ taâlem Tri-Pack

The taâlem label has been quiet for nine months, long enough to have a baby; and now the label has given birth to triplets.  These three 20-minute CD-R3″s continue in the family tradition of open-ended experimentalism, and are sure to

PAS Musique ~ Abandoned Bird Egg

French/Swiss collective PAS Musique prides itself on defying convention. Inspired by negation and the avant-garde, the quartet produces music that is difficult to classify, touching upon multiple genres at once.  And yet, despite the band’s claim that their music lacks “clearly defined

Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds ~ In Passing

The most common comment made about instrumental music is that it “sounds like a soundtrack”.  Some of  Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds‘ music already is a soundtrack, gracing the entrancing short film “Where am I”.  David Dang’s film makes a great advertisement
