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

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

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

Silmus ~ shelter
The word ‘shelter’ tends to convey protection from adversity. It connotes a confined space offering refuge against broad and injurious exposure; in essence, small against large. Eagerly awaited here at ACL, the second release of Dutch one-man outfit Silmus has
