Haav ~ Flyt

The Norwegian word Flyt means “flux, flow or float” (nice alliteration!), and the subtitle of Haav‘s album is Water Music.  This appealing set investigates the rhythmic and textural properties of water in myriad forms, from dripping pipes to flowing streams to snow and ice.

Valiska ~ Numbers

Valiska‘s Numbers has been ruminating for years. Untraceable transmissions, known as Numbers stations, came to his attention over a decade ago. Here’s how they work: every day, at regular intervals, strange voices are broadcast over narrow bands of shortwave radio.

Galya Bisengalieva ~ EP Two

Craven Faults ~ Netherfield Works / Springhead Works / Nunroyd Works

Three years, three 12″ records, a trilogy now complete.  Craven Faults has been scribing a sonic travelogue in turquoise and silver, an impression of Yorkshire and beyond, informed by memories imagined and recalled.  There’s an air of mystery around the artist, seen
