Kinbrae ~ Tidal Patterns
Tidal Patterns is a lovely mix of field recordings and warm instrumentation, a tribute to Scotland’s secluded Isle of Coll. Brothers Andy and Mike Truscott surround the birds and seas with soft, swaying melancholy, but their music is so inviting that

Roger Goula ~ Overview Effect
In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, an item called the Total Perspective Vortex uses a piece of fairy cake to present a construction of the universe, giving its victims a glimpse of how insignificant they are within the ‘entire

Kjartan Sveinsson ~ Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen
We don’t review much opera ~ our last one was Colin Stetson’s Sorrow. But Kjartan Sveinsson‘s Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen (The Explosive Sonics of Divinity) is too solid to ignore. The former Sigur Rós member offers a gorgeous, heartfelt work on double

Charles Henri Maulini ~ Peaks
On the surface, Charles Henri Maulini‘s Peaks is simply a beautiful, life-affirming album. But below the surface, it’s much more. The album raises a host of significant psychological questions: Who are you at your deepest core? How do you respond to life’s traumatic events? What

Adrian Corker ~ The Have-Nots OST

Tilman Robinson ~ Deer Heart
A beam of light bisects Tilman Robinson‘s face, offering a symbol for his music. Deer Heart may be half modern composition, half experimental, but the artist is no split personality; his musical halves form a unified whole. One may be forgiven (we hope)
