EUS, Postdrome & Saåad ~ Different Streams

The opening, shredded melody that lets us into Different Streams is at once transcendent and slightly disturbing, like a trippy hallucination that lasts a little longer than it should’ve done. It is a threat that never really goes away. A drone

Corder Ritger Yantis ~ Possession

Possession injects some venom into Valentine’s Day. February 14 is usually a time for lovers, but what if that love turns sour, toxic and highly poisonous a week or so before the special day? The tunnel of love used to be

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma ~ A Year With 13 Moons

According to a little snippet of info at the beginning of a Rainer Werner Fassbinder movie that pretty much shares its title with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma‘s album, every seven years we have one in which there’s not 12 but 13 full

Anduin ~ Last Days of Montrose House

Infinite Greyscale is one of our favorite labels, known for releasing quality 10″ records, only a handful each year.  They’ve upped their game in 2015, as Anduin‘s Last Days of Montrose House is paired with a digital package of seven remixes from

The Helen Scarsdale Agency: Fire and Ice

“Some say the world will end in fire,” writes Robert Frost, “Some say in ice.” A pair of new albums from The Helen Scarsdale Agency represents both viewpoints: Jim Haynes‘ Scarlet the former, Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson‘s So Long the latter. As I write

Abre Ojos ~ Fracture

We open on the shot of a priest, but it doesn’t remain benign for long; the head splits in two, a demonic voice erupts, and the entire screen fractures, reflecting the title of the DVD.  Abre Ojos clearly has a bone to

Isobel Ccircle~ ~ The House in the Harbour

Once one gets past the name of the duo, a moniker that defies spell checking, one is freed to enjoy the music: in this case, a haunted house tape based on a detective’s personal journals.  Coffin bells ring, specters glide
