Michel Banabila ~ Just Above the Surface
The title is an inversion of expectations; we’re used to reading the words, “just below the surface.” Sound artist Michel Banabila has been defying classifications for years, and here he does so once again. The irony is that while the attention is drawn to

Hakobune ~ Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse has no beginning, no end; it’s infinite, eternal. Takahiro Yorifuji describes it as a ‘journey to the stars’, with one, forty-two minute piece covering the great distance. From the very first second, Betelgeuse feels like it’s been travelling for

Ian Hawgood + Giulio Aldinucci ~ Consequence Shadows

Aidan Baker & Gareth Davis have been known to make a great racket in their respective (and multiple) bands, but don’t expect that here. Invisible Cities is an album of coiled restraint that seems ever on the brink of eruption. In the
