Edapollo ~ Shallow Swell

Edapollo adopts a similar musical approach to Snuise, reviewed here earlier this month, but rather than drawing inspiration from the undulating and coastal vistas of San Francisco, he is surrounded by the diverse urbanity of Bristol, UK – a liberal

Nicola Ratti ~ Ossario (Volumes I and II)

The way I work lately is focused on a live improvisation approach. Streengs is my first solo work where I practiced that way of playing. It is a work made by a single concept and the same set of instruments

Electronic Observations 2014 #2

I usually try to highlight new artists to this column, aware that given a mere ten or so reviews per month it’s probably better not to repeat myself. This month, things have fallen out a little differently with several artists

Deison & Mingle ~ Everything Collapse[d]

Everything Collapse[d] is billed by Aagoo as “an album of melancholy and desolation”, and it ends in failure ~ to be precise, a faithful cover of Swans’ “Failure”.  And yet, the album is intensely alive; intentional morbidity never sounded so good.

The third of Lullatone‘s seasonal-themed EPs is their best yet.  At 25 minutes, it’s also their longest, edging up to the length of an album.  Perhaps this is due to the introspective nature of the season; one has fewer distractions, and
