Witxes ~ A Fabric of Beliefs
It’s not the only way to judge a horror movie, but if my palms aren’t sweaty at some point during the action, then it’s failed to some extent. It’s rarely the gory bits that do it, more the slow build-up

Martin Bédard ~ Topographies
“Not one second of downtime will be met”, declares the press release, and in this case, the statement is true. Martin Bédard‘s Topographies fills every sonic nook with crashes, glissandos and draws. This is a work of immediacy, beginning with a crash

Utu Lautturi ~ Korpinkorva
Ambient this may (loosely) be, but background listening Korpinkorva certainly is not. A truly cerebral experience spread across four parts, the EP in its entirety conveys ‘a life plagued by mental disorder’, also partly visualised in an accompanying video. It

Prada & Oregon ~ His Past of Heaven – Floor Permanents – Her Lufa
Nothing is what it seems in this fascinating sound document, whose title alone requires a deep breath. Prada & Oregon is not a duo but a solo artist (Susan Balmar), who also records under her own name. And the two seventeen-minute

Katsura Mouri & Tim Olive ~ Various Histories
“Turntables and metals” is a unique descriptor. The turntables are the domain of Katsura Mouri, while the metals – struck, stroked, manipulated – belong to Tim Olive. These two sources played together sound wholly unique. As most turntables are made of metal,
