ACL 2024 ~ Spring Music Preview: Jazz & Improvisation
We usually separate jazz into our Experimental and Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz sections, but this season there’s so much of it (in pure and improvised forms) that we’ve given it a spotlight. This being said, we hope that our

ACL 2024 ~ Spring Music Preview: Experimental
This year’s spring slate of experimental music is so large that we’ve split it into two parts. Today’s post covers electro-acoustic and avant-garde works, while tomorrow’s will cover improvised and experimental jazz. There are some truly unique recordings on the

Li Yilei ~ NONAGE
It’s hard to resist an album with track titles such as “Pond, Grief and Glee” and “Sand, Fable and Tiger Balm.” Such titles hearken back to childhood while honoring the power of three. Li Yilei uses childhood instruments ~ some irrevocably
