Jana Winderen ~ The Blue Beyond
While spinning The Blue Beyond, I couldn’t help but hope that Jana Winderen and Manja Ristić might one day meet and become friends, if they haven’t already. The distance from Oslo to Belgrade is approximately 2500km, but the interests of these sound

Högni ~ Music for Katla
The Icelandic miniseries Katla is one of the most intriguing shows ever to appear on Netflix: visually stunning, deeply philosophical, uniquely unsettling. While similar in tone to Les Revenants (scored by Mogwai), the series diverges from the thriller format by asking penetrating questions.

Philip Jeck & Chris Watson ~ Oxmardyke
Oxmardyke is both heartrending and inspiring, suffused with a melancholic character revealed only by the backstory. The ears receive it as a celebration of life. These are Philip Jeck‘s final sonic offerings (although we may yet heard unreleased work from the

Ensemble Dedalus / Ryoko Akama ~ ELIANE RADIGUE
A separation has many stages. It starts with an ellipse, a kind of alienation, and slowly unfolds into an opposition or even better a difference before it moves on to a departure. We can understand a separation as a way

The album starts and ends in waves, a metaphor for the music, which ebbs and flows like the tide. The Great Swells That Carry Us Will Pull Us Under is a perfect post-rock title, and Cardiff’s Aaronson uses the track
