Josh Varnedore ~ Sun Chapter
Josh Varnedore is the Josh in Amman/Josh, along with Amman Abbasi. Abbasi lends a hand on “Vertebrae”, while Hammock contributes to “186,000 endings per second and Hideki Umezawa (Pawn) chips in on “Earth”. The presence of such friends guarantees that the

Marielle V Jakobsons ~ Glass Canyon
Quick – how many solo synth and violin artists can you name? If you came up with more than three, we salute you. We last encountered Marielle V Jakobsons as the “J” in EJS, whose album was included in our winter recommendations;

Damian Valles ~ Nonparallel in Four Movements
Nonparallel in Four Movements is a slow labor of love for Damian Valles, a work of vinyl samples and digital processing that begins as a conceptual mix and ends as a drone. In compiling the sound sources, Valles pored over the Nonesuch

Blue Sausage Infant ~ Manitou
Manitou is a potpourri of an album: a little drone here, a little rock there, some experimentalism, some dance music. One can’t glean the full picture from a single track; listening to half of the album only yields half of the

drill + mallo ~ simple turns EP
“drill eats nails and batteries. mallo, strings.” This is a fine introduction to an India-based duo whose simple turns EP simmers and smokes like an overheating machine. While it never quite erupts into whining gears and flying shards, the EP offers restrained

Network Lab ~ Apophenia
Apophenia is one heck of a schizophrenic album. At 70 minutes, it’s long enough to be two albums: an ambient album in the Rhian Sheehan vein, and an experimental album in the electronic vein. But this makes sense in light of
