Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie ~ Travels in Constants Vol 24
Those who fell under the spell of A Winged Victory for the Sullen’s Atomos in 2014 (our album of the year) should need to read no further beyond learning that Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie, one half of the duo, has returned

Spheruleus and Friends ~ William Barber
As the album begins with the sound of an old music box, one immediately knows that one is in nostalgia territory. But this is far better than nostalgia ~ this is history, specific and evocative. The story begins with the

cétieu ~ Into the Light
Into the Light is a sanctuary for soft colors. Peach, vanilla, cinnamon, the whitest of white chocolate; cétieu (Poland’s Tekla Mrozowicka) has already made our end-of-year lists and she is now one of Europe’s leading lights. Her music isn’t tainted in any way, shape

The Frozen Vaults ~ 1816
1816 is a winter album, released when most of us are enjoying spring. But don’t worry ~ this work is a winter music classic, and is likely to be enjoyed for years. Its time will come around. Word of the album

Viento De Las Montañas sends us to a long lost island. The precise location remains a mystery, but the palms of the forest glisten with raindrops and the birds cry out as part of the scheduled dawn chorus. A new species of

My Home, Sinking ~ Sleet
The surprising thing about Sleet is how warm it sounds, considering its title. This is the second winter-themed release from My Home, Sinking, both released in May, when garlands and dances around the maypole are more in fashion. Instead of capturing the feeling

Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy ~ Sintetizzatrice
Ambient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis. Donato Dozzy layers and
