SABIWA, Queimada, Nathan L. ~ Sons of _
Sons of _ is an album about impermanence, as evidenced by titles such as “There is no end and no beginning”, “What is true is not true” and “There is nothing and there is no name.” The photo is foggy, and

Francisco López ~ HIMAVANTA: environmental sound matter from Thailand’s forests
In 2020, Francisco López released a 12-hour, 138-track set celebrating 40 years of sound art. This year, he has released an 11-hour album; so one might say his albums are getting shorter. A better way to put it would be to

Jilk ~ Soft in Shape and Meaning
The Jilk collective is nearly impossible to define, save for their electronic base. Their last album was lyric-centered, while their new double-album is primarily instrumental; and they shift sub-genres with aplomb, touching upon ambience, modern composition and post-rock with an experimental flair.

Plïnkï Plønkï ~ Happy Halloween
Must Halloween music always be scary? We kept this principle in mind for our series Music for Haunted Houses, which ran from 2014-20; in the year without trick-or-treaters, we concluded that “the whole world (had) become a haunted house,” and

Luke Howard ~ Interlinked
Luke Howard is no stranger to orchestral arrangement, but Interlinked is the composer’s first work for full orchestra, the score to Juliano Nunes’ ballet Interlinked. The choreography intentionally challenges gender norms in ballet, while the fluidity of the score underlines the approach.

Scrimshire ~ Music for Autumn Lovers
We’ve always wondered why more composers don’t release music about the seasons in season. Before the inevitable plunge into holiday music, there is autumn, a season deserving of its own score. Two years ago, (Adam) Scrimshire released the Music for Autumn Lovers

Sarah Neufeld, Richard Reed Parry, Rebecca Foon ~ First Sounds
If three composers can be considered a supergroup, then Sarah Neufeld and Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre) and Rebecca Foon (Esmerine, Saltland, Thee Silver Mt. Zion) fit the definition. They first improvised together in Montreal back in

Jónsi ~ First Light
First Light is bright, beautiful and ebullient, and we almost missed it. Jónsi‘s newest album is for those who miss the euphoric highs of Sigur Rós and have wondered if they would ever return. Unlike Jónsi’s other solo efforts, First Light
