We Will Fail ~ Dancing
Our story begins with a sad admission from Aleksandra Grünholz (We Will Fail): “I don’t dance anymore.” The statement conjures associations with George Michael (“And I’m never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm”) and Men Without Hats (“If

Nazar ~ Enclave
A few years ago, after one too many mass shootings, I stopped liking music that incorporated the sound of guns. Far too many artists were using violence as percussion, seemingly ignoring the mourners while desensitizing the ears. But now, thanks

When Push Comes to Shove: Do We Tug? Or Do We Poll? (United States Midterm Elections List, 2018)
So, what is the cost of freedom? Granted, we’ve all heard the line before, perhaps by a well-meaning, though humorless, high school civics teacher. Between clouds of pulverized chalk, there was likely more than a little reverence shown towards the

SHALT ~ Seraphim
There’s more than a hint of the spiritual on Seraphim, which was inspired by the highest order of angel and written by a producer whose name ~ SHALT ~ recalls the Ten Commandments. The label name (Astral Plane Recordings) is a bonus. One

Guybrush ~ Incandenza
Last year, SØVN Records offered us a tape encased in a concrete block; to access the music, one had to break it (or use the download code). This year, designer Le Kutsch returns with a new concept: each of the

Djrum ~ Portrait With Firewood
The portents for Portrait With Firewood are unusual to say the least, particularly for a producer more associated with a series of releases that mostly combined cinematic samples and atmosphere with a dubstep-inspired late-night wooziness. Instead, Felix Manuel, who records

Puce Mary ~ The Drought
Copenhagen’s Puce Mary makes her first showing on our site with her best album to date. Torbjørn Rødland’s striking cover imagery is reminiscent of Kirk Weddle’s work on Nirvana’s Nevermind. The comparison is even more apt when one links Frederikke Hoffmeier and Kurt Cobain as
