The Bricoleur ~ First Matter

Charity compilations are, generally speaking, a good thing, particularly when less mainstream musicians contribute. It’s hard to argue against these projects, obviously, whoever is involved – the charity gets increased awareness of their work, as well as some much-needed funds,

Gabriel Saloman ~ Soldier’s Requiem

Is it coincidence or intention that Gabriel Saloman‘s last two albums have been released in November?  The sound of the former Yellow Swans artist is tailor-made for this time of year: dark, moody, conflicted.  In our last two reviews, we commented

Jeff Carey ~ [3:30]

The perfect pop single is 3:30 in length and is the starting point for this EP.  Yet despite their radio-friendly length, these six nuggets will never make the pop charts.  This is a shame, because even the edgiest pop smash,

Neg-Fi ~ Unmergency

When it comes to physical releases, some companies just mail it in.  Not so Geweih Ritual Documents, whose attention to detail is astonishing.  The limited edition of the label’s latest cassette glows in the dark.  And that cover art!  Metallic

Lost Trail ~ Holy Ring of Chalk

I love to walk, however, my navigation skills are pretty much non-existent. Recently and after months of failing to get to a friend’s place without Google Maps reminding me of how far I am straying from my destination, I finally
