Odalie ~ Puissante Vulnérabilité

Can vulnerability be strength?  Mental health experts say so, yet warring forces stand their ground, political opponents discard compromise, and lovers refuse to apologize, as Black Lilys sings on the album’s first single, “poisoning the ground, polluting the air.”  In

WaqWaq Kingdom ~ Hot Pot Totto

WaqWaq Kingdom gets waquier and waquier on Hot Pot Totto.  Given their propensity for wordplay, we’re confident they won’t mind the pun.  This still-crazy Japanese “minyo duo” is just as bizarre as ever ~ if this were not apparent from the

Fall Music Preview 2023 ~ Electronic

Does any genre ever truly die?  Everything old is new again this fall, as the slate reads like a classic DJ Mag list: trip-hop, breakbeat, electro, psychedelic trance, drum ‘n’ bass.  The 80s and 90s continue to cast long shadows.

Gazelle Twin ~ Then You Run (Original Score)

Is there a Gazelle Twin sound?  Early fans believed so, until the dramatic left turn of 2018’s Pastoral and its companion album Deep England.  To her benefit, Elizabeth Bernholz is incredibly hard to pigeonhole, confounding expectations at every turn.  This being said,

How many experimental electronic Hungarian artists can you name?  I can’t name any … hold on, now I can name 14. That’s the value of a good compilation, and Healer is an excellent primer for the uninitiated. Our guess. is that

CORIN ~ Lux Aeterna

Lux Aeterna is an audio-visual sci-fi excursion.  We’ve only seen a taste of Tristan Jalleh’s visuals, but the teaser helps us to imagine an immersive, in-person experience.  We do, however, have access to the audio, which honors both the gradual awakening
