Krojc / Fischerle ~ John, Betty and Stella
By far the strangest release of the season, John, Betty and Stella cuts dialogue from English-language training records, rearranges them into little plays, and places them over an electronic backdrop. It’s the best use of old dialogue we’ve heard since 2012’s Tyneham House.

Lewtrakimou & Adam More ~ Fascinating Everything
The title is apt: Fascinating Everything is indeed fascinating. This beguiling release goes in every direction save the expected; when it is over, one asks, what did I just hear? The product of a former Arkansan (now in South Korea) and a Canadian,

She Spread Sorrow ~ Rumspringa
The violence enacted by noise and industrial music has been, from their very inception, directed towards the body in one way or another. Shattering its insides, penetrating its skin, transgressing all of its boundaries, they are musics that draw the

möström ~ we speak whale
The genre-defying debut of female trio möström is a sparkling original, beguiling in the best sense. These Viennese veterans of other bands (including Gustav, broken.heart.collector and The Vegetable Orchestra, dedicated to “the exploration of the acoustic properties of vegetables” – really!) have
