Lo Tide ~ Closed to Listening

The title of Lo Tide‘s new EP, Closed to Listening, seems the direct opposite of our site’s name.  And yet the title is likely meant in an ironic way, as the EP is noticeably open to new electronic styles.  The set follows on

Lakker ~ Struggle & Emerge

Successful concept albums are difficult to pull off, but the new album from Berlin’s Lakker beats the odds.  The scope is ambitious: the relationship between the Dutch and water.  The sources are original: only vintage field recordings and TV and radio broadcasts

Dalot ~ Mutogibito

We believe we’ve found the perfect album for Mother’s Day!  With Mutogibito, Dalot (Maria Papadomanolaki) returns to her roots, while celebrating the newness of motherhood.  She’s made an album which her young daughter Athena will likely enjoy now and brag about later. The

Sontag Shogun ~ “Tale” Remixed/2015, NYC

As Brooklyn’s Sontag Shogun prepares for the release of a new album later next year, they continue to re-visit older recordings and experiment with templates for the new.  On “Tale” Remixed, they invite some friends to re-interpret their work; on the 2015, NYC cassette, they

IXTAB ~ Alea

IXTAB’s music is a set of fangs in prime condition, ready and waiting to sink deeply into the raw flesh of its prey, satiating its hunger as it does so. Techno music is often dark, but Alea‘s dark colouring conceals an interesting

Ash Koosha ~ I AKA I

Roly Porter ~ Third Law

As spring is here, I think it’s safe to declare that Roly Porter‘s Third Law is my favorite album of winter.  It’s stayed in my CD rotation since January and I’m still enjoying it just as much, although I’ve been playing it louder and louder.
