Gil Sansón ~ Ese maldito yo/El ocaso del pensamiento
Some crazy stuff is happening in A.F. Jones’ stunning video for Gil Sansón‘s “pensamiento en su ocaso,” as it is all across the tape: time-distorted samples of Sun Ra, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, ELP and more. It’s all a reaction to

Utu Lautturi ~ Nielu
Two years ago, we had the privilege of reviewing Utu Lautturi‘s debut EP, Korpinkorva. The Finnish artist has just completed his first full-length album, and we find it astonishingly powerful ~ so we’ve included a video premiere and interview as well!

White Fir ~ Lake Seeds, Vol. 3: When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
Columbus, Ohio is in many ways a misleading sort of city. Initial impressions lend an aura of a dank, gray Midwestern industrial-scape, a sprawling flat prairie city ringed in massive highways and loomed over at its core by an oversized

Marcus Fjellström ~ Lichtspiel Mutation 2: Alechsis
Between the fury of the opening “Storm” and the raucous of “Finale” exists a highly nuanced and enthralling miniature epic. In a manner true of all Fjellström’s releases so far, the music casts a devilish, unsettling spell on its listeners
