Small Things on Sundays ~ In Slow Motion
White-hot in its intensity, the Sun hangs above. Glowing with its sickly fever, the star is suspended in its black home, unable to stir as it sits in the suffocating noose of gravity. Eight minutes later and the Earth is

Birds of Passage ~ This Kindly Slumber
This Kindly Slumber is Alicia Merz’s third outing as Birds of Passage. It is kindly, for awhile, but it bears the thorn of sorrow, too. Hopes and dreams lay beside the pavement; they’ve taken such a battering that they seem unresponsive, left for

Linear Bells ~ Over & Over

Wild Wild Ambient Boys ~ We Don’t Rock

Winkie ~ One Day We Pretended To Be Ghosts
One Day We Pretended To Be Ghosts shines a light on the shady, futuristic sound of shoegaze yet to come, ready for the new generation to step forward and zone out. This new musical generation is fortunate in that it

Redfish ~ Redfish
Universal in its invitation and initiated by the young and the old, Redfish is truly international in its expression. It’s easy to accept this invitation, especially when you hear that sexy French accent (come on, who could resist?). The kind introduction lights
