Wyrok ~ Wireframe
In rockier days, the foremost album that piqued my interest in truly experimental ‘alternative’ music was the sole LP of a little-known UK band, Miocene, called A Perfect Life with a View of the Swamp. It was unapologetic in simply

Gidge ~ Autumn Bells
What better way to celebrate the first day of autumn than with the release of an upbeat, autumn-themed album? Autumn Bells looks forward rather than back, making us miss the summer a little less. The timing – both physical and emotional

Twink ~ Critter Club
Twink’s Critter Club (no relation to the Simon & Schuster series) is an odd trio of animals whose costumes are visible on the cover and whose identities are revealed on three tarot-style cards within. Twink himself (Mike Langlie) is a playful individual

Lawrence Lindell ~ A Nomad Story
When a person locks himself in a room for a week in order to create a grand work, one of two things may happen. One may go stir crazy (as in this classic clip from The Shining), or one may produce

Monist ~ New Romans: A History
Constantinople became Istanbul, Datsun became Nissan, Prince became a glyph for a bit, then became Prince again. Now ontopsych has become Monist. What’s in a name? Apparently, a lot. While a rose by any other name would still smell as

Chapelier Fou ~ Deltas
The cover of Deltas says it all: the music of Chapelier Fou is bright and happy, twinkling and colorful, creative and adventuresome. On his third album, Metz (France) artist Louis Warynski doesn’t defy genres as much as invite them in. A delta is a convergence of
