Troy Schafer ~ Supreme Happiness Forever
An odd note about experimental music: we often support an artist’s desire to go all-out atonal avant-garde, dissonance shrieking from warring strings, once we know that the artist doesn’t have to go this route. In other words, once an artist

Peter Toll ~ movement (holkham)
When listening to pure, unadulterated field recordings, the conscious mind is aware that it is hearing history rather than composition. The fallow deer steps and honking mating calls of “movement (holkham) #1” are no studio creation; they unfold in real

Sunwølf ~ Beyond the Sun
It’s hard these days to launch a band, especially a post-rock band, and to get noticed. Maybe it helps to define one’s sound as “stoner ambient drone”, the tag that Sunwølf has chosen to summarize its work. But there’s something different

Ef ~ Delusions of Grandeur
After six years, it’s safe to say that Gothenburg’s Ef has proven to be the rare post-rock band with staying power. They’ve done so by creating a distinct sound that at one time was a blend of Efterklang and Sigur Rós, but

Atay Ilgun & Alper Yildirim ~ Aokigahara, The Black Sea of Trees
This is the first appearance on our site for Wounded Wolf Press, a small Turkish imprint that releases lovely handmade music wrapped in folded prints. It’s also a perfect example of why our site exists. If we had never founded

moody alien ~ no evil
A lot can happen to a moody alien after releasing an album. One can gain popularity, confidence, friends (although one must be on guard ~ would these people be friends were it not for the success of the first album or the

Toundra ~ (III)
The third time around for Madrid’s Toundra, and this one’s a doozy. One look at the cover, less subtle than the iceberg of (I) but in line with the Cupid-shot children of (II), and the message is clear: there’s no holding back. Toundra brings

Rinus Van Alebeek ~ The 19th Century
Cassettes didn’t exist in the 19th century, although the idea had been planted by Oberlin Smith in 1888. The recorded tape was introduced in 1962, galloped strong for a few decades, descended into near-obscurity, was revived by cultists and today
