Yann Novak ~ Blue.Hour
How long would you normally watch something that is slowly changing – a sunrise or sunset, a sleeping bear at the public zoo (wake up!), or the lapping of a tide? Such scenes inspire endless fascination for a few, but

Nienvox ~ Space Castles, Love Songs
When is a mixtape not a mixtape? When it sounds like a mixtape, but is comprised of original sounds. This is the case with Space Castles, Love Songs, a groovy, beat-tastic full-length from Russia’s Alexander Efimov, also known as Nienvox. When listening,

Julia Kent ~ Character
This is the album that turns a corner for cellist Julia Kent. This may be the last time we remind people she once played in Rasputina and Antony and the Johnsons. Those facts really doesn’t matter anymore. Following two previous albums
