Johann G. Winther ~ I Have a Heaven Ending and Weaving Thin Threads of Darkness from the Light that Was Given

Post-rockers and Fiona Apple, beware:  Johann G. Winther is coming at you with the essay-length title of his latest work.  If reading the album title seems a bit awkward, then it also seems fitting that the cassette is released on Awkward

Various Artists ~ Your Victorian Breasts

Here’s a welcome oddity, a double-vinyl potpourri of demos, live tracks, collaborations, unreleased gems and genre-splicing originals.  Unfortunately it’s not polite to mention the album’s title or inspiration (a Supreme Dicks song) in public.  Mention to Grandma that this is

Daniel Menche ~ Raw Recording Series (Volume One)

For those whose 2013 resolutions included “listen to more field recordings”, this is a great place to start.  Oregon’s Daniel Menche has released a huge number of recordings in the past twenty years, including entries in the fields of experimental music and

Saåad ~ Orbs & Channels

Drone worlds collide on Orbs & Channels, which comes from the co-owners of the BLWBCK label, is mastered by Byron Christoloudou (Golders Green and The Felt Collective), and is released as a cassette on Hands in the Dark Records.  It’s wonderful

Ciènega ~ Viva Bocashi

It’s safe to bet that the members of Ciènega and A Shelter in the Desert know each other, given the fact that both hail from metropolitan Mexico, both play post-rock and both released albums within 12 days of the other.  They

Sunlight Ascending ~ Leaving My Waiting Room

Sunlight Ascending burst onto the post-rock scene in 2009 with the $5 bargain-boxed All the Memories, All At Once.  The promise shown on that initial offering has been developed over the course of four years and four more releases.  Leaving My

Smokey Emery ~ Quartz EP

Quartz may be Earth’s most common mineral, but the Quartz EP is anything but common.  Call it tape loop collage, hauntology, plunderphonics, reconstituted classicism or drone, but no matter what the label, consider this release more “smokey” than opaque. Sound artist Daniel
