The Narrows ~ There’s a Ghost in Me
When one looks at track listings and sees that one song is much longer than the others, one immediately senses it will be the go-to track. This is the case with “You’re Beautiful, Like a Mayfly”, which sits in the

Slow Dancing Society ~ Laterna Magica
I’m crossing a bridge on a cloudy morning. It looks like it might rain. People are running, God knows from what or where to, a slow dancing society unfolds in plain sight every second, and the music of Drew Sullivan

Wolf Maps ~ Landforms
Lost, abandoned harbours and shadowed landscapes roll along the shoreline like low-lying, bleak clouds of foreboding grey, echoing a passage of years spent underneath a sliver of moonlight. The rise and fall of the sea an eternal breathing of deep blue. Despite

Tiny Leaves ~ What We Dream Of
It’s nice to have friends, especially when one is new. Tiny Leaves (Joel Nathaniel Pike) is accomplished on his own, as evidenced by the previously-reviewed Get Yourself Up On a High Mountain; his ambient work is complimented here by the remix contributions

Rezo Glonti ~ The Diary of the Second Officer
An engineering blueprint welcomes the listener to The Diary of the Second Officer, an imagined record form of a real journey, a project that reveals not a connection between different places by sound but their possible construction through it. It

David Newlyn ~ The Misspelled Numbers EP

Kate Carr and Gail Priest ~ blue | green
We’ve seen a few color-based releases already this year; Machinefabriek’s Colour Tones included odes to green and blue, while Spheruleus’ Cyanometry looked at the various hues of the latter and Darren Hayman’s blue vinyl Lido dealt specifically with the blue of the British swimming pool. Last
