AUN ~ Fiat Lux
The shimmery, strange intervals that herald the arrival of Fiat Lux lead through to a secret, sparkling doorway. The listener will soon encounter another dimension, painted by Canadian drone-masters AUN. The door disintegrates as it slams shut, and then it disappears completely.

Petrels ~ Flailing Tomb
When a vocal tune appears on a mostly instrumental album, it had better have a memorable hook ~ and by God, “Orpheus” does. I shall fight, so that failure is possible, sings the all-female choir, responding to verses sung by Never

Charlemagne Palestine ~ Ssingggg Sschlllingg Sshpppingg
For a long while now, outsider artist Charlemagne Palestine has been producing a variety of works that lay claim to a deep sense of spirituality, and Ssinggg Sschlllingg Sshpppingg grows that sense further into a psychedelic land of noise and

Haarvöl ~ Indite
The opening moments of Indite sound like a large electronic contraption powering up, which serves as a metaphor for the Portuguese trio. This is their second album, although they’ve been making music and videos for years, most notably the haunting and beautiful

Anthony Donovan & JOHN 3:16 ~ Of the Hex and Its Likenesses
Only in the digital age might a Philadelphia drone artist find a home for a new album in Japan, but that’s what happened to JOHN 3:16, whose team-up with Anthony Donovan is available on CD in Japan and on iTunes everywhere. It’s encouraging

Elian ~ Cutting Up the Sun
I first heard the music of Elian (Michael Duane Ferrell) in 2010 with the release of Whispers, Then Silence, an album that hid its appeal beneath folds of sonic cloth. He’s grown much more accessible since then, while sacrificing none of his experimental

Jeff Stonehouse ~ Ghosts
Like a lingering cloud of black smoke, Ghosts slowly unfurls. Trailing its tendrils of sombre longing behind it, the ominous apparition appears as soon as the listener hits the play button. Darkly beautiful, and yet suffused, at first, with a

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek ~ Whorls
Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek‘s third collaboration is also their first in four years. The gap in time is clearly responsible for a shift in sound. Whorls is as dynamic and exciting as Patina was soft and calm. When the latter was released in 2011,
