Wixel ~ Revox Tapes
The digital submission was sitting in the in-box, but I had already ordered the cassette. “Wait for the tape!” implored Jordskred’s Louis Reith. And he was right. Revox Tapes is a tape about tapes; to listen to this release in any other fashion

Prada & Oregon ~ His Past of Heaven – Floor Permanents – Her Lufa

Matthew Dotson ~ Revolution / Circumvention

Umber ~ Sunshine Young
We’d like to think that when it comes to instruments, we don’t play favorites ~ but we do. Seeing that Alex Steward (Umber) has included violinist Sophie Green (Her Name Is Calla) on two tracks makes a difference even before we’ve listened
