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

Antarte ~ Olio su tela
It’s a good thing we listen to more than a single track before deciding on a review, because Olio su tela (Oil on Canvas) begins with acoustic guitar and clear, romantic vocals: not our sort of album at all. But by the end of

Insect Ark ~ Long Arms

Date Palms ~ The Dusted Sessions
The Dusted Sessions follows “The Dust Bowl Theme”, one of the standout cuts on the compilation Your Victorian Breasts, reviewed here earlier this year. That languid desert piece finds its echo on “Dusted Down”, which to no one’s surprise is one of

Katsura Mouri & Tim Olive ~ Various Histories
“Turntables and metals” is a unique descriptor. The turntables are the domain of Katsura Mouri, while the metals – struck, stroked, manipulated – belong to Tim Olive. These two sources played together sound wholly unique. As most turntables are made of metal,

Luca Longobardi ~ P.eople.
