The Echelon Effect ~ Field Recordings
David Walters is one of the few artists whose every release is reliable. The Echelon Effect has a clearly identifiable sound, and has stuck to it consistently. (The final installment of Seasons might be considered an exception, save for the fact that

Starting a post-rock band in 2012 seems as counter-intuitive as opening a new record store, but we’ve seen a resurgence in the latter, so hopefully we’ll see one in the former. Baltimore’s dedleaves is brave to enter these waters, boasting a more

Sun Hammer + Radere ~ Lotophagen
