Ichtyor Tides ~ Eever Schapes

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

Cormac Faulkner ~ Topophilia

With a name like Cormac Faulkner, it’s no surprise that the Coventry artist displays a literary bent.  The rare lyrics found on Topophilia include a quote from Joyce and a song based on a centuries-old broadside.  Earlier this year, the artist teamed up

Secret Pyramid ~ Movements of Night

Ruins, silver stone scarred by the cyan sea, are the only remnants of a once-proud city, left behind by a lost civilization. Carved figures can still be recognized despite their lengthy submersion, and endless waves of drone surge around the
