Sustainer ~ Medicina
On the surface, Medicina seems like a lost album from The Caretaker, until one considers its pedigree. These old records didn’t come from the 20s and 30s, but the 60s and 70s. They represent a loving reclamation of a maligned form of

The Green Kingdom ~ Harbor
Harbor is at rest, gazing out upon a vast body of water. We can take refuge here. This is a gate and a shield, built on the precipice of an eternal sea. Clean, reverb-laced guitar notes are shell-smooth reminders of its cleansing power, and the

Human as Possible ~ We Need
Is this a 75-minute album or a 37.5 minute album? Both. The tracks on each side of the cassette are designed to be played simultaneously. While this may seem to some like a gimmick, it’s not; it’s a careful construction

Slow Attack Ensemble ~ Soundscapes for the Emotional-Type Listener
A precious beauty surrounds Soundscapes for the Emotional-Type Listener. It might fall apart if it’s so much as lightly brushed. Chuck Blazevik’s music has been covered here at ACL before with his Dreamsploitation project, and as Slow Attack Ensemble his music is a

Moonlooker ~ White Bird On Black Snow
We’re all made out of stardust, and to the stars we’ll one day return. The soul of Moonlooker (the ambient alias of Axel Zaren) belongs in the beyond, in the infinite and ancient points of light that surround our drifting Galaxy. Subdued,

Tuning into this Late Night Tales record is the same as walking through an autumnal landscape. Hoodies have replaced t-shirts. The sun is in the process of cooling. There’s a reminder at our feet – the unforgiving presence of winter will soon begin to
