Aaronson ~ The Great Swells That Carry Us Will Pull Us Under
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

Berlin Strings ~ On a Dark Night
Our sharpest readers may remember the enchanting Toechter, whose debut album we reviewed last year. On a Dark Night might be considered a sequel, in that the cover art shares the same design format and Lisa Marie Vogel is found on

Sauf les drones ~ versions du vivant
If not for the abbreviated beach season, I would consider moving to Montreal, the post-rock Mecca of the world. I imagine post-rock playlists in every mall, post-rock at the hockey rink, ice cream trucks playing GY!BE. If this impression is

Zhaoze ~ No Answer Blowin’ in the Wind
China’s Zhaoze may be new to Western audiences, but over the last two decades, the band has amassed quite an impressive body of work. Their immediate selling point is their incorporation of electric Gugin and xiao (bamboo flute) into a post-rock frame.

Tiny Leaves ~ Mynd
The greatest asset of Mynd is its specificity. The field recordings that run throughout the album were made in the Shropshire countryside (U.K.) while enjoying a residency with the National Trust at the Long Mynd, declared an Area of Outstanding Beauty. We’re
