Nuojuva ~ Valot Kaukaa

Ous Mal is dead, came the announcement. So soon? We’d barely got to know each other and now, now, it’s all over? Perhaps some things were never meant to be… Or perhaps, Ous Mal was merely the first stage, for

Spheruleus ~ Dissolve

Many recordings are born of inspiration, but Dissolve was born of a lack of inspiration, which is not to say that it isn’t inspired.  This two-track outing from Harry Towell (Spheruleus) was birthed as severe writer’s block led him to imagine a richer physical environment

Pascal Savy ~ Receding

When is a piano EP not a piano EP?  When the piano is recorded, then partially removed, leaving an “empty shell” where the notes one shuddered.  The recording operates as a sonic illusion, as the notes heard are not fully there.

Celer ~ Evaporate and Wonder

Evaporate and Wonder is an ember of an ember, an echo of an echo, a ghost of a ghost, barely there yet fully present.  This slowly meditative pair of tracks has all the power of a leaf floating down a lazy

Musette ~ Drape Me In Velvet

There’s a twinkle in Joel Danell‘s eyes as he stares from the album cover ~ or perhaps his eyes have been replaced by tiny full moons.  When listening to Drape Me In Velvet, one gains the impression that the second scenario is

Lost Trail ~ October Mountain

October Mountain is the sibling of A Stained August for the Jetcrash, a cassette released simultaneously on a second label.  (What happened to September?)  When one leans forward, ear to speaker, to hear a southern man discussing wasted lives, it’s with the

Lost Trail ~ A Stained August for the Jetcrash

Husband and wife duo Zachary Corsa and Denny Wilkerson Corsa live in a century-old North Carolina house, a spooky place surrounded by dark woods, emaciated wolves and the disembodied voices of children who have lost their way.  When planes crash deep in the trees,

When d_rradio state that ‘the intention of their music is to bring comfort and light to the most dark and difficult hours, and to make you feel alive’ they build expectations, big ones, and the delivery of such promise is
