Tonesucker ~ Sub Rosa
Sub Rosa is the follow-up to Omnia Convivia Crastina, which crashed our Top 20 Albums of 2012. Like many Tonesucker releases, it’s a thick collection of extended pieces, here a quartet of selections totaling one second under one hour. The unifying thread

oh/ex/oh ~ Extant
Surfacing just above the eye-line, the ever-deep, always on transmission of Extant enters, calling you invitingly closer, nearer to heavens unseen. A slab of slow-burning drone penetrates the silence, and stays for the duration. A cosmic trance sets in; there is no

Chris Weeks ~ Formeg:
If you don’t like cats, stop reading now, you cruel and heartless person. But if you do like cats, keep reading, because this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever composed for a feline. Formeg: was written for Meg, a

Radere ~ Dreamless
‘Dreamless’ – untroubled by dreams; “a sound and dreamless sleep” Or, as with Dreamless, the latest release from American droner Radere, a night fuelled with insomnia underneath the black night. Dreamless can be looked at in a couple of ways, but deep inside the

Skye’s Diamond ~ Wolf EP
We don’t usually mention the ages of artists (and it’s not polite to ask!), but Tom Eves wants his listeners to know that he’s 21. Okay, we’re impressed. Not that we doubt the abilities of the younger generation; we’re just

The Floating World ~ We Hunted
When is a flute album not a flute album? When the flautist is the leader of a band, and when the album has a purpose beyond the promotion of a single instrument. Amanda Votta, the guiding hand behind The Floating World,

Fescal ~ Two Winter Poems
This little package is a joy to own and to peruse. Two Winter Poems is a multi-media treasure in a box: an instrumental CD3″ inspired by the poems of Pushkin, the printed poems on delicate sheets, a Polaroid photo of Pushkin’s

Sujo ~ Repent
Very few artists can release multiple recordings in a single year and retain our attention, but Ryan Huber (Sujo, Olekranon, Vopat) is one of them. His multi-genre approach is a key factor; by straddling the fields of post-rock and drone,
