C. Spencer Yeh ~ 1975
After releasing dozens of records as Burning Star Core, it seems odd to describe 1975 as C. Spencer Yeh‘s debut. And yet… I can’t quite say why C. Spencer Yeh does anything, yet it’s not hard to see that this isn’t

Darius Ciuta ~ IIN
The nature of this recording dictates the conditions under which it must be played: after the sun has set, after the workers have gone home, after the traffic has died down, after the children have left the streets; and alone.

Lost Objects ~ Privenv Highly
If given the opportunity to watch a group of children at play in a room full of new toys, many would be curious enough to accept the invitation. Would one respond in the same way if given the opportunity to

Fazio ~ Élégie
The recorded output of Mike Fazio (orchestramaxfieldparrish) has often been called “difficult music”, but Élégie is surprisingly accessible – at least when compared to A Guide for Reason I-VI, the first volume of the Music from a Strange Box series. The reason is fairly obvious: Élégie is primarily

Clint Listing ~ In the Minds of Madness
Post-industrial soundscapes are not the most accessible productions, and In the Minds of Madness is not easy listening. The cover simultaneously evokes Joan of Arc, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Apocalypse, and the sounds inside make a fitting match. Over the

Audionaut ~ Requiem for Cats
The long-hidden Requiem for Cats conjures shades of Juv, another project that remained buried for the better part of a decade. The experiments of Audionaut (Miami’s Omar Angulo) were never meant to see the light of day, but Elegua’s David Font

Makunouchi Bento ~ Rinbo
This unassuming little release is one of the most original recordings of the year, a follow-up to 2010’s highly eclectic Swimé. Rinbo is no less eclectic, but is far more accessible, and has a great starting point: the stories of four Japanese

Joe Frawley ~ 13 Houses And The Mermaid
There is a certain nostalgic element to radio made up of fantastic possibilities that most of us just can’t understand anymore (tuning in to the universe at large, receiving sounds from the ether), even if our world is even stranger
