Botany ~ Portal Orphanage

Portal Orphanage is the missing link between two 2020 Botany releases.  Billed as a “postscript” to End the Summertime F(or)ever, the EP also uses the same stack of 45s as Fourteen 45 Tails ~ although of course the middle parts of the records are used.

Sebastián Maria ~ Through the Skin of the World

On Through the Skin of the World, Sebastián Maria continues to develop the intricate sound world he introduced on last year’s ÁeÁe, while keeping the tracks to single length, as in January’s Lunitas II.  In the whole time he’s been releasing music, dance floors

Martin Gore ~ The Third Chimpanzee Remixed

During the late 80s/early 90s heyday of Depeche Mode, fans waited eagerly to receive singles from their idols, because they knew remixes would follow.  While track after track made it to clubs, the side-long orchestral remix of “Enjoy the Silence”

Haiku Salut ~ The Hill, The Light, The Ghost

In its early years, Haiku Salut was a cheerful electronic band, but in its middle period the band began to evolve into something new.  The group’s score for The General was more pensive and sedate than fans had expected.  With The Hill, The Light,

Heavenly Stems ~ Florals/Shell

Florals/Shell is a neat way to introduce a new project: two EPs, one on each side of a bright green 12″.  As a founding member of Trophy Wife, Ben Rimmer (now known as Heavenly Stems) is not entirely new, but his moniker

Rắn Cạp Đuôi ~ Ngủ Ngày Ngay Ngày Tận Thế

Is Ngủ Ngày Ngay Ngày Tận Thế (Sleeping Through the Apocalypse) drone, trap, future pop, experimental, industrial, electronic?  Yes, all of these.  Vietnamese band Rắn Cạp Đuôi is “thirsty for fresh combinations of sounds,” and comes through in a big way, aided

Dan Hayhurst ~ Counters

Sculpture’s audio half Dan Hayhurst goes from Critters to Counters on his newest album, preserving the sci-fi aspect while traveling into the realm of deep space.  The music sounds like an Atari lullaby for robotic children, the only ones who might survive such a voyage.
