Svarte Greiner ~ Black Tie

This is not spring music, but you probably already knew that.  Svarte Greiner does not make music for flowers and bunnies, unless perhaps we are including the flowers of Little Shop of Horrors and the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.  In each of his guises, Skodvin

Zbeen ~ Eigen

Zbeen‘s music has always been about pattern, whether created or perceived: the mapping of vectors, linear and algebraic.  Although the output of Gianluca Favaron and Ennio Mazzon may be based on mathematics, it sounds more like science, a theme explored in last

Haiku Salut ~ Tricolore

The three women of Haiku Salut (one for each color of Tricolore) admit a love for the music of Detekivbyran and múm and the writings of Haruki Murakami, and their debut album does justice to all three.  Accordion, trumpet and glockenspiel feature strongly, as

Petrels ~ Onkalo

Oliver Barrett’s Bleeding Heart Narrative officially called it quits in late 2012, opening the door for more work under the Petrels name.  We’re a little bit greedy – we’d love to have both – but we’re overjoyed to hear this stunning follow-up

Adam Carpet ~ Adam Carpet

Caffeine is not needed to enjoy this album; Adam Carpet is caffeine.  Two bass guitars, two drummers, 65dos-electronics and a projection screen make for an energetic sound and stage show.  As evidence, check out the video for “Babi Yar” (below), whose selection and

Jay-Dea López ~ The Great Silence

This album begins with an insult: the 1788 declaration of British colonists that the Australian soundscape was “silent”.  This insulting statement inspired the phrase, “The Great Australian Silence”.  Even worse, the evil attitude that it exposed led to the mass

The Shaking Sensations ~ Start Stop Worrying

The Shaking Sensations have a new drummer!  No, they didn’t fire their old drummer, they added a second.  This upgrade has provided the Danish band with an obvious boost on their second album (and third release overall).  As early as a

Alexandr Vatagin ~ Serza

“I get by with a little help from my friends”, sings Ringo Starr, and this comforting concept has not been lost on Alexandr Vatagin.  He’s spent the last couple decades collaborating with numerous artists while pursuing interests of his own through
