Christopher Tignor ~ The Art of Surrender
The Art of Surrender bears the artist’s experiences in its musical notes. If the percussion seems at times off-kilter and the violin morose; if the electronics bubble in like counterposed thoughts; if the tone ranges from melancholic to resolute, there’s a

Dark Sines ~ The Space Time Paradox
We are living in the last hours of summer; autumn will begin overnight. To some, the solstice brings a welcome transition; to others, a loss. Phil Cassella’s evocative cover photo portrays the dimmed light, a puddled path, umber leaves clinging

Odalie ~ Puissante Vulnérabilité
Can vulnerability be strength? Mental health experts say so, yet warring forces stand their ground, political opponents discard compromise, and lovers refuse to apologize, as Black Lilys sings on the album’s first single, “poisoning the ground, polluting the air.” In

Dronal ~ Whilst We Fall
The eye is fooled by the cover art, which looks like striated clouds atop a striking sunset. Yet what seems to be a photograph is “a graph provided by NASA’s Earth Observatory, measuring global temperature anomaly from 1880 to 2022

WaqWaq Kingdom ~ Hot Pot Totto
WaqWaq Kingdom gets waquier and waquier on Hot Pot Totto. Given their propensity for wordplay, we’re confident they won’t mind the pun. This still-crazy Japanese “minyo duo” is just as bizarre as ever ~ if this were not apparent from the
