Roly Porter ~ Kistvaen
Bury me facing the sun. As the pandemic bodies continue to pile up, awaiting burial, Kistvaen is a reminder of ancient practices. The title refers to the Neolithic/Bronze Age granite tombs of Dartmoor, surrounded by small stones and covered with mounds

V/A ~ At Home With … (songs for solitude)
For the past six weeks, Brazil’s La Petite Chambre Records has been releasing a weekly two-track EP in response to the crisis. Each release contains the same image of a lonely house, but with a different filter, making this series a sibling to

Cut A Lonely Figure ~ Sugimoto Seascapes
The artist name predates the argot of self-isolation and social distancing that are the watchwords of 2020, but it’s a suitably apt choice given the number of people who found themselves alone, not always by choice, before Covid19 began to

bvdub ~ Ten Times the World Lied
With nearly 40 albums to his credit, it’s a surprise to hear that this is bvdub‘s first album without vocals. After all, we’re an instrumental-based site and we’ve reviewed a lot of them. But to be fair, Brock van Wey usually

Spring Music Preview 2020 ~ Ambient & Drone
The world is worried. On top of our normal concerns (war, famine, politics, economics, relationships), now we have a virus to contend with as well. Ambient music offers calm in the midst of anxiety, peace in the midst of turmoil.

Giulio Aldinucci ~ Shards of Distant Times
As Shards of Distant Times is the third album Giulio Aldinucci has recorded for Karlrecords, one might consider the set a triptych. Borders and Ruins was an incredibly timely work, appearing in the early days of Brexit and Trump’s wall, while 2018’s Disappearing in a Mirror examined the

Sontag Shogun, Stijn Hüwels ~ The Floating World & The Sorrowful World
The Floating World & The Sorrowful World was always meant as a diptych, but for nearly a year the two tracks were cut off from one another, set adrift, seeking the balance of their complementary twin. Ironically, this temporary excision adds

Thomas Dimuzio ~ Sutro Transmissions
All the music on A Closer Listen wishes to communicate with listeners. Some of it also thinks about communication – the processes, technologies, difficulties, and contradictions that happen when information is transmitted. Last year, one album channelled the radio waves
