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

~~^^^macheteoxidado^^^~~ ~ Viento De Las Montañas
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

Brandon Hurtado ~ Other Spaces
Ghosts fade with music. The banishment of stress, not to mention the complete erasure of the accompanying, all-consuming fear that rears its ugly head, is possible when listening to music. You can zone out and unwind, no matter the genre. Of
