Rodman Melchior Melchior Rodman
The tape begins with a lonely violin, melancholic in nature. Letha and Dan are married, and Letha is battling Stage IV melanoma and breast cancer. This elegiac work testifies to art as a statement of life. Letha’s side is stunning, a

Good Willsmith ~ The Honeymoon Workbook
The words “recorded live with no overdubs” are overused, but in this case they make an important statement. The trio of Good Willsmith had to be on point at all times for this venture to work. One slip and the entire project

The Alvaret Ensemble, Kira Kira, Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson, Ingi Garðar Erlendsson, Borgar Magnason ~ Skeylja
Jonsi may have popularized the invented language in modern music, but he hasn’t cornered the market. Just ask Jan Kleefstra, whose Frisian dialect crashes head-first into Icelandic on Skeylja. The title itself is a blend of the Frisian Skylge (Terschelling, one of the
