ACL 2013: Top Ten Drone
In a classroom, a drone is a nuisance, but in music, it’s an attraction. These artists know that drone is more than sustained sound; it’s texture, movement and tone. Songs hum like appliances, grind like motors & clank like factories.

Shoganai ~ ショウガナイ
From time to time, established artists are tempted to see if they can make it under a different name. Sadly, new releases can get buried without the name brand recognition. We wouldn’t want this to happen to Bas van Huizen. Last
