Vektormusik ~ Uro / Unrest
Denmark’s duo Vektormusik is an oddity, and we like oddities. The cover reflects the title, which becomes apparent by reading the press release: the English word “mobile” becomes “uro” in Danish, but “uro” translated back into English becomes “unrest”. Each of these

Chubby Wolf ~ Seasick
It’s not clear how many sounds remain in the archive left behind by Dani Baquet-Long, but this is the best work I’ve heard by her yet, so there may be more to come. Over the years, we’ve gotten used to

Chris Weeks ~ Formeg:
If you don’t like cats, stop reading now, you cruel and heartless person. But if you do like cats, keep reading, because this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever composed for a feline. Formeg: was written for Meg, a

Apricot Rail ~ Quarrels
Somewhat rare for a post-rock album, the press release for Quarrels includes the advertising phrase, “features the singles ‘Basket Case’ and ‘Surry Hills”. Singles? Since when do post-rock bands have singles? Are these going to be on 45s? (That would be amazing, but no.)

Ross Baker ~ East of Evening
A much edgier album than one might expect from the cover, East of Evening continues Ross Baker‘s slow metamorphosis from ambient artist to experimental. It’s possible the artist doesn’t even know how far afield he’s traveled. Field recordings are once again prominent, especially

Ett Abigail ~ Five Tales
Five tales, 25 tracks, 44 minutes. The new project from Jose Acuña (EUS) is drastically different from his former work. The physical copy comes in a sturdy, rust-colored cloth pouch, along with a small paper ticket. Momentarily forgiving the cliché, this is

The Black Twig Pickers ~ Rough Carpenters
The soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? was a huge hit, and Mumford & Sons just won the Grammy for Best New Album. Even casual music fans own at least one of these discs. So why, after eight albums, are The Black

The Nest Itself ~ (In) constant search
While post-rock continues to be on the wane in the Northern Hemisphere, it seems to be on the rise in the Southern Hemisphere. Take for example the new debut album from Melbourne’s The Nest Itself, a follow-up to the quintet’s well-received
