Ludovic Medery ~ eMERgences

Fergus Kelly ~ Local Knowledge
Physical formats have seen a great deal of attrition in recent years, but the Unfathomless label has remained consistent. Their CDs are released in pairs, sent into the world like animals leaving the ark. Their high quality recordings, sonic diversity

Ulf A.S. Holbrook ~ Borka (winds)
Borka (winds) performs a sonic miracle, transforming threatening sounds into active calm. The 3″ is part of Flaming Pines’ Tiny Portraits series, now five sets and twenty discs strong. As a pure reflection of place and time, it’s one of our favorites of

Jeff Hassay ~ Beach Boys House: Dirt Sounds
An audiological artefact, a meditation on time, an objet d’art ~ Beach Boys House: Dirt Sounds is all three. One of the year’s most original recordings is also one of the year’s most precious – and some might say precocious –
