Various Artists ~ Thank You
We love the thought that so many of our favorite artists have giving hearts. Thank You is a charity compilation from the recently-launched Vintermusik label, and all of the proceeds will benefit Världens Barn (Children of the World). The album is

Wet Eyes ~ Air Is Movement
Air Is Movement falls on the stronger side of ambient with unprocessed guitar notes and a clear sense of progression. This makes the EP much more active than its peers; at times, it even borders on post-rock. At 17 minutes, it’s

Wesołowski + Kaliski ~ 281011
It may have taken about 600 years and countless jokes, but it seems Poland may finally be cool. In the last decade Poland has emerged with cutting edge festivals (Unsound), artists (Jacaszek), labels (AudioTong, Few Quiet People) and now musical

Tiny Leaves ~ Get Yourself Up On A High Mountain
Matching the artist’s name (Tiny Leaves) with the length of the recording (a tiny, home-grown, dozen digital minutes) and the price (a pound!) seems apt; the only thing out of place is the title. But these three humble tracks do

36 ~ Lithea
For Dennis Huddleston making music as 36 seems to be coming to an end with Lithea, the final part of what is a triptych album series that began with the a la Lifeforms-era Future Sound of London Hypersona, an album where ambient seems to be

Stray Theories ~ Even Though We Sleep
Mood is an often-overlooked factor in music. When reviewing, we tend to take special note of composition and creativity, while ignoring how a release makes us feel. Perhaps this is because we are out of touch with our feelings, or consider

Josh Varnedore ~ Sun Chapter
Josh Varnedore is the Josh in Amman/Josh, along with Amman Abbasi. Abbasi lends a hand on “Vertebrae”, while Hammock contributes to “186,000 endings per second and Hideki Umezawa (Pawn) chips in on “Earth”. The presence of such friends guarantees that the

Network Lab ~ Apophenia
Apophenia is one heck of a schizophrenic album. At 70 minutes, it’s long enough to be two albums: an ambient album in the Rhian Sheehan vein, and an experimental album in the electronic vein. But this makes sense in light of
