All Lights ~ Tired/Rest
Who died? Perhaps I should not have asked that question. Tired/Rest is a short but ambitious concept album, bearing titles such as “Passing Away” and “Hospital”. The four tracks are divided into two parts, and each track into separate sections, nineteen

Widesky ~ Within That Aura

K Wilson ~ Otherworld
The otherworld that the eyes are led to expect from the cover is a cut-and-paste collage, a jagged scrapbook of sound. But the otherworld that the ears hear is gentle, guitar-laden, spiced with repetition and reverb. If given a choice

En ~ Already Gone
Mohammed likes the bass, but I prefer the koto. What can I say? Perhaps that an album with at least two tonal entry points must be a very fine effort. It’s unlikely that Already Gone will become more popular than the songs

Makunouchi Bento ~ Rinbo
This unassuming little release is one of the most original recordings of the year, a follow-up to 2010’s highly eclectic Swimé. Rinbo is no less eclectic, but is far more accessible, and has a great starting point: the stories of four Japanese
