The White Meadows ~ A Time for Drunken Horses
A Time for Drunken Horses is curious, clever and creative, a sample-happy mash-up that is consistently alluring and distinctly British. While the album is billed as “experimental folk-drone”, it also includes touches of many other genres. Listen to the first track

Raül Fuentes ~ Omiyage
Raül Fuentes is a sonic collector. Over the course of the past year, he’s been collecting sound snippets from around the world like others collect keychains or vials of sand. These snippets now form the single long-form composition Omiyage, a Japanese word

Moon Ate the Dark ~ Moon Ate the Dark
A clinical approach to the piano is always dull, no matter how good the composition, but infused emotion is always alluring, even when the compositions are simple. The strength of Anna Rose Carter is that she feels what she plays. Her emotion

The Pirate Ship Quintet ~ Rope for No-Hopers
Has it really been that long since The Pirate Ship Quintet‘s self-titled debut EP? Six years is long enough for entire industries to change, and in terms of taste and technology, they have. Over the past few years, the band has

Cumino ~ Tomorrow in the battle think of me
The title makes a strong first impression: Tomorrow in the battle think of me. While the first reference the Italian act makes is to soldiers, the second is to the “daily battle”, the struggle we each fight. This romantic sentiment

Talvihorros | Damian Valles ~ Monuments and Ruins
