David Vélez ~ El Pájaro que Escucha
Three victories in a row for the 3leaves label (following releases by Craig Vear and Steve Roden) and a hat trick for David Vélez as well, following releases on Unfathomless and Impulsive Habitat. El Pájaro que Escucha (the bird that listens) is

Being ~ Folkestone Lighthouse
The Folkestone Lighthouse EP is one of the best releases of the year. We don’t say such things often, or lightly, because tastes differ; but this one crosses genres and is much more than a simple release. We’re fortunate to be able

Hideki Umezawa ~ Suido-Kan

Hervé Moire ~ Mirage de Loire
One never steps into the same river twice, and the Loire – a few miles from Nantes, France – is no exception. The saying refers to the fact that a river is always in flux, but also refers to a

Steve Roden ~ Berlin Fields
Berlin may be the lucky city that graces the title, but Berlin Fields was also recorded in Paris and Helsinki. It’s an odd travelogue, 19 sonic vignettes captured as often by happenstance as by intention. One imagines the artist wandering through
