Ed Carlsen ~ Morning Hour

Morning Hour is a fun and fascinating album.  Multi-instrumentalist Ed Carlsen uses the form of modern composition, yet nearly every track blooms into beat-driven, electronic timbres.  Then just as one is prepared to call it an electronic set, the piano makes

*Press A* ~ Wilmot’s Warehouse, Chicory EP, Kind Words

Eli Rainsberry ~ Wilmot’s Warehouse Wilmot’s Warehouse begins with a simple, chill electronic sequence that in the span of one minute transforms into a rapid, complex melody. It’s expertly layered, and is indicative of the sheer procedural creativity that informs

Max de Wardener ~ Kolmar

The music of Max de Wardener is impossible to pin down, as he gallops between instruments and styles.  This makes Kolmar an intriguing listen, with enough ideas for two releases; and it could be argued that it should be two, as the differences are so delineated.
