Ben Lukas Boysen ~ Alta Ripa

After 20 years in Berlin, Ben Lukas Boysen began to think about the “youthful musical language” that he spoke in the first 20 years of his life in Altrip, on the left bank of the Rhine.  Alta Ripa is the town’s Roman

Jilk ~ Soft in Shape and Meaning

The Jilk collective is nearly impossible to define, save for their electronic base.  Their last album was lyric-centered, while their new double-album is primarily instrumental; and they shift sub-genres with aplomb, touching upon ambience, modern composition and post-rock with an experimental flair.
