Deaf Center ~ Recount
The return of Deaf Center (Erik K. Skodvin & Otto A. Totland) is slow and precise, a soft haze descending upon the late days of summer. Each artist released an album earlier this year, but on this EP they perform together once

36 ~ Dream Tempest
Dream Tempest, the new album from self-publishing veteran 36, is like a space-machine made to daydream in, immersing the listener in the absolute darkness of an electronic sci-fi soundscape that gracefully glides into emotional nebulae of distinct colors. The tones

Ian William Craig ~ A Turn of Breath
One of the most beautiful covers we’ve seen all year graces one of the year’s most elegant recordings. Sean McCann’s Recital label is not known for playing it safe, and on this release, the label stretches its wings even further.

VLNA ~ Turquoise Threads
The title of VLNA‘s debut album brings to mind Ellen Meloy’s study The Anthropology of Turquoise, as well as Tobias Hellkvist’s album Turquoise, released last year. The color – and the mineral after which it is named – receive scant attention, but inspire

Imprints ~ Data Trails
The three gentlemen of Imprints know how to fill up a room with tape machines, synthesizers, homemade pedals, computers, pedal steel, mixing boards, and whatever else makes music-making-sense at the time. Have a look at their recording setup. Shaun Crook, Darren Clark

Pjusk ~ Solstøv
On its fourth album, Norwegian duo Pjusk essentially becomes a quartet. Rune Sagevik and Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik focus their attention on the timbres of Kåre Nymark Jr.’s trumpet, while 12k’s Taylor Deupree contributes gentle electronic manipulations. Solstøv is a slice of mood cut

Sunfighter ~ Golden Eagle Of Illumination
Sunfighter jets across the sky, leaving behind a golden glow, a tanned stream of light that lingers up above. Electric guitars provide the necessary thrust, serving as the music’s afterburner, but in reality the climb up to cruising altitude is a smooth

Softest ~ Music for Rain: Volume One
Rainy days needn’t be thought of as depressing or boring. True, they try to cage us in, delay the plans we had for the day and tempt us to stay indoors, but the rainfall is a beautiful sight. Just looking
