Nite Lite ~ Megrez
You can’t judge a book by the cover, unless what you’re looking for is the cover. This cover calls attention to itself, and should feature strongly in any year-end art feature. Thankfully, this is a vinyl release, all the better to showcase

Moulttrigger ~ Birds
It’s no secret: birds are kind of getting to be a worn-down trend in popular culture. Don’t believe me? I direct thee to the infamous “Put a bird on it!” skit courtesy of Portlandia. Once quotable and amusing, now ubiquitous and tiring,

Daphine and Lyndsey ~ Seascape No. 1
Is there a more beautiful, peaceful, threatening sound than the sound of waves? Is there anything else that can make us feel free of problems and convention, while at the same time reminding us how small we are compared to

Peter Toll ~ movement (holkham)
When listening to pure, unadulterated field recordings, the conscious mind is aware that it is hearing history rather than composition. The fallow deer steps and honking mating calls of “movement (holkham) #1” are no studio creation; they unfold in real

“89” is a thirty-two minute piece recorded in Fujaco, a mountain village in São Pedro do Sul, Portugal. Through all of its duration (“89” being the only track), listeners are effectively Fujaco’s most recent visitors, spending several days in the Portuguese

Flavien Gillié ~ Encore Un Peu De Ce Monde
When making field recordings, sometimes it’s best to stay away from the obvious. There will come a time when listeners have had their fill of sparrows and seas and begin to wish for something else. That’s where artists such as Flavien

Frédéric Nogray ~ Buiti Binafin
Buiti Binafin may be a field recording, but it’s also an attempt to drive home a deeper message: that Earth’s natural soundscapes are disappearing by the minute, and the world’s chroniclers may need to step up their pace. At the same

Saåad ~ Confluences
We last encountered French duo Saåad on Sustained Layers, a collaboration with like-minded artists EUS and Postdrome. We’ve since had the pleasure of reviewing the latter artist’s solo album, and now it’s Saåad’s turn. Confluences is a commissioned work first presented in front of the
