Lullatone ~ The Sounds of Spring

It’s here!  It’s finally here!  No, not spring, that’s been here for a while.  The Sounds of Spring.  Lullatone fans have been waiting (not very patiently) for an extra year to complete their sets of seasonal EPs.  Now we feel

Serph ~ Hyperion Suites

Both artist and album title alike are suffused in mystery. Today, Hyperion is the name given to the world’s tallest tree: a redwood in California that stands at 116 metres – but whose location is undisclosed for fear of visitors

Holly Herndon ~ Platform

“The future is geopolitical,” declares Holly Herndon in her video for “Interference.”  Or perhaps “declares” is the wrong term, as the words on the screen are not part of the song.  Metahaven’s video also includes blank ads, miming the boxes that interfere with our

w. baer ~ Spalting

At first, Spalting hangs low to the ground, part of a dense electronic cluster that soon starts to throb and rumble in its nebulous hive. Distorted rattles and grinding, slightly dissonant textures start to intermittently fire, only to quickly drop out.

Software of Seagulls ~ Sunrise Industry

If paired differently, the names of artist and album would make more sense:  “Seagull Sunrise” and “The Industry of Software.”  The fact that Chris Perren mixes them up is a sign that the album is a hybrid.  (We also doubt

Electronic Observations: An Onslaught of EPs

First it was the piano EPs, now the electronic EPs; this has been the year of the short releases.  We received dozens of these in the first quarter, and here we highlight seven of the best. The advantage of waiting a

R. Weis ~ Parrot & Paperback

Few recordings are truly one of a kind.  We’d place Pawn’s Kitchen in this category, as well as One and Seven Eighth’s Modern Camping Songs.  Now joining this elite group is the latest EP from R. Weis, who over the past three decades has

Disasterpeace ~ It Follows

It doesn’t think.  It doesn’t feel.  It doesn’t give up.  It follows.  The trailer taglines are simple, reflecting an effectively streamlined concept.  The soundtrack is similarly methodical, continuing to follow even after one has turned the music off.  Wherever you
