Kynan Tan ~ Raetina

These beats are not where they are supposed to be.  These instruments are not used in the manner of our elders.  Perth’s Kynan Tan seems to have no respect for the old ways.  And that’s why we like him. Raetina, an

Andrew Weathers & Andrew Marino ~ We Don’t Have Sun Like This

The folky, homespun, guitar-picking improvisational style of the North Carolinian hills is now the sound of … Oakland, California?  Yes, you read that right.  Andrew Weathers has relocated, although his sound hasn’t yet changed to reflect the culture of Raiders and

Coyote Power ~ Starship Earth I & II

“This is evil music for evil people,” declares Coyote Power on the release page of Starship Earth I: Evil Sea.  Not exactly; I’d just call it dark.  Or perhaps I’ve turned evil in the past few days, because I do enjoy this sort

Drops ~ Believe You Me EP

What’s not to like about glockenspiels, handclaps and bells?  With the Believe You Me EP, Drops has created a perfect summer salad:  music that sounds lovely when played at an outdoor picnic and puts everyone into a good mood.  It’s a short one

Komatsu ~ Komatsu

Two people?  Two people?  No way does this sound like two people.  Perhaps the lads from Finland have four arms, or multi-tracked, or invited some reindeer to play along. Komatsu is full and lush, ripe with intriguing sounds, left of center

Steinbrüchel + Cory Allen ~ Seam

Seam is an album of stitches that holds together like a garment.  To create the album, Steinbrüchel + Cory Allen cut pieces of sound from sonic fabric: scraps, strips, mismatched corners and unwanted fragments.  Each tried to make something of the assortment, then sent the
