Midori Hirano ~ Minor Planet
We’ve always had a weakness for Sonic Pieces’ hand-stitched covers, shown below in an image borrowed from Sounds of a Tired City. Minor Planet contains an circle on the cloth cover to represent its title, but we’re simply going to call

Geneva Skeen ~ Dark Speech
Dark Speech is a highly unusual recording for Dragon’s Eye ~ the opening minutes sound like the antithesis of the label’s typical release. With a nearly-industrial rush of sound, Geneva Skeen introduces herself to the masses. Only later will she relent. Vast sheets

E and I ~ The Colour of Sound
It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from E and I (Emmanuel Witzthum and Craig Tattersall). Their last album was on the sorely missed Cotton Goods label; the only thing we don’t miss about Cotton Goods is the tiny print runs. Eilean Records

Various Artists ~ Texture Series Volume One
Forgive the followers of 1631 Recordings if they look a little worn out. The year-old label boasts 75 releases, and as production really ramped up around November or so this amounts to almost two classical, experimental or ambient albums a

Koen Holtkamp ~ Voice Model
The word “percolate” is used to describe the year that passed between recording and release, but it’s also a fine word to describe the beginning of this bubbling album. The opening minutes sound like waking up, stretching one’s arms, and

Teasips ~ Proxemic Realms
Please allow me to introduce you to the cleansing, evocative music of Teasips (Angela Frances Wilson; she’s also one half of Electric Sound Bath). Enveloped in a sightless fog, these slow moving songs rise up and out of wide, cold lakes, at

David Newlyn ~ Linen
The descriptions are sparse, the cover is fuzzy, and the music is ephemeral. Linen can pass by without notice, but in a good way. Interesting people do not always seem so at first. Sometimes they are too shy or quiet to

Eluvium ~ False Readings On
As one of the preeminent artists in the ambient and electronic scene, False Readings On is a welcome and much anticipated return from Eluvium (Portland’s Matthew Cooper). The feel of the music has changed slightly, because every recording has a different soul. You can label it
