The Sly and Unseen ~ The Crossley Heritage
When it comes to making cool collector’s editions, Wist Records is one of the finest. Their jackdaw series (each one a book-sized envelope containing the music and various ephemera) returns with The Crossley Heritage, offering recipients some history along with their

S/QU/NC/R ~ OUA_BF
Once in a while, we receive a sonic document that breaks the boundaries of art and becomes important in other arenas: historical, political, personal. OUA_BF is one of those recordings. Without the background, it’s an engaging piece, but with the background,

rhein_strom ~ von der rheinquelle bis hafen karlsruhe
“Would you recognize a river by its sound?” This is the question posed by Lasse-Marc Riek and Thomas M. Siefert (rhein_strom), but the question is much less interesting than the execution. Why? Because the answer is “no.” Not all rivers

Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther ~ Unter Grund
Many of the water-based recordings we receive are beauty-based, calling to mind vacations by the sea, meditations by the river, the sweetness of summer rain. Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther‘s Unter Grund is different: historical, political and metaphorical, it prompts the listener

Taavi Tulev ~ Rand/Beach
To some, Rand/Beach may seem out of season, released in the heart of winter. But when the blinds are closed to the white, and a fire dispels the cold (currently 1F/-17C), the sounds of the shore are evocative, enticing and hopeful.

Joseph Sannicandro ~ a sea without a port
Mexico City always comes up in talks about the largest human populations in the world, and it’s no wonder why – something like 22 million people sharing a common space does already sound like an outlandish 1950’s sci-fi projection of

Giulio Aldinucci ~ Yellow Horse
This is A Closer Listen‘s third review category for sonic chameleon Giulio Aldinucci, who has always operated as a multidisciplinary artist. Yellow Horse is his most unusual work to date, and as such is one of his best. Most people have a junk drawer somewhere

Joshua Bonnetta ~ Lago
Lago is an ambitious project, conceived as a companion to Ron Jude’s photographic book of the same name. As the successor to 2014’s Strange Lines and Distances, the LP provides further evidence that Joshua Bonnetta has greater things on his mind than simple field recording.
