ALT ~ Beavers / Disputed Territory
We’ve been reviewing the field recording and soundscape work of Abby Lee Tee for years. But when the artist announced a new moniker ~ ALT ~ and a sidestep to turntablism, we raised an eyebrow; after all, this is a significant left turn, indie

Kate NV ~ WOW
Ridiculously happy, relentlessly upbeat, WOW is a sonic sugar rush, a candy-coated confection topped with syrup and sprinkles. Kate NV‘s energy never seems to flag, nor does her creativity ease. Breaking with previous recordings, her voice is diced, chopped and splattered;

Zoë Mc Pherson ~ Pitch Blender
I change shape all the time. This key sentence, located in the heart of “Lamella,” is the key to understanding sonic chameleon Zoë Mc Pherson. A lamella is a thin layer or membrane, suggesting fluidity, or the ability to shift

Grand River ~ All Above
Tears leak from Aimée Portioli’s eyes as she looks to the sky, surrounded by a cascade of water. Her left hand rests on her right shoulder, as if in supplication. When matched with the album title ~ All Above ~ and

SØS Gunver Ryberg ~ SPINE
Copenhagen sound designer creates a lattice of patterns and textures on SPINE, prodding angular movements from listeners as they lean into the abstractions. This is the first release on Ryberg’s Arterial label, introduced with an inclusive and encouraging manifesto: “a place

Elskavon ~ Origins
Twin forces of time and nature permeate Elskavon‘s latest recording, musically as well as thematically. We’ve enjoyed having “North Sole” (a simultaneous pun on “Pole” and “Soul”) to play this winter, met by its summer-like companion, “Coastlines.” The first tumbles as

Gorgonn ~ Six Paths
Six Paths is a brutal album, as demonstrated in the first and last titles: “Abyss” and “There is Nothing on the Other Side.” Gorgonn is inspired by Japanese Buddhism’s Six Paths, while leaning more toward the terrifying than the uplifting. Four such paths
