Hekla ~ Turnar

Turnar may contain glimmers of sunlight, but it is not a daylight album; this is music for the depths of night and the soul, music of desolation and heartfelt prayer, music for long winters yearning for spring.  Partially recorded in

Grand River ~ Tuning the Wind

Those familiar with Grand River‘s All Above – one of our top electronic releases of 2023 – may be surprised at the timbre of Tuning the Wind.  But Aimée Portioli has always been about more than electronics.  Tuning the Wind is a grand experiment

Natalie Beridze ~ Street Life

When does a drone become a protest song? The audible echo of the ongoing demonstrations that have been taking place in Tbilisi, the capital of the Sakartvelo (Georgia), since the recent contested parliamentary elections (26 October 2024), constitutes the raw

Imperial Valley ~ American Memory

Richard Skelton never intended his Imperial Valley series to be this relevant.  The project was initially inspired by Dorothea Lange’s Dust Bowl photography, captured in rural America during the Great Depression.  These albums, originally credited to CF Moore, were a recreated history

Hali Palombo ~ Kuddelmuddel

Kuddelmuddel is a great word, because its meaning can be gleaned from its sound: hodgepodge, jumble, confusion.  The title suits the album perfectly, as Hali Palombo has arranged a cornucopia of sounds; the artist includes “Hurdy-Gurdy recordings taken at the Bristol Renaissance Festival in

Chandra Shukla ~ Hima हिम
