Adrian Corker ~ The Have-Nots OST

Are soundtracks getting better, or are we just enjoying them more?  It’s hard to tell.  Either way, 2016 has been an especially good year for creative scores, the latest example being Adrian Corker‘s The Have-Nots.  Our measuring stick is simple: to

William Ryan Fritch ~ Ill Tides

The second entry in Lost Tribe Sounds’ new Dead West Series comes from the label’s most well-known artist.  Ill Tides is a return to the purely instrumental for William Ryan Fritch, and we couldn’t be happier.  Fritch is one of a small

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)

Bruno Bavota ~ Out of the Blue

We’ve greatly enjoyed watching Bruno Bavota‘s career develop over the years.  At first self-released, the artist has recently seen a retrospective set issued on 1631 Recordings and has now signed to Sono Luminus for his latest effort.  Perhaps the most romantic of

Resina ~ Resina

Resina is the perfect album for fall, the music’s autumnal hues enhanced by the artist’s fiery hair.  Fatcat’s 130701 imprint has an ear for talent, and introduced the Polish cellist Karolina Rec to a global audience on their summer compilation, Eleven into

Marihiko Hara & Polar M ~ Dance

The music will play, but Dance is also a way of life, an inspiring philosophy realized through music, for and from the soul. In early 2016, Kyoto-based Marihiko Hara and Polar M (Masumi Muranaka) were commissioned to compose some new pieces for

Christopher Tignor ~ Along A Vanishing Plane

Does ingenuity of composition heighten enjoyment of it? Perhaps an age-old question dividing certain camps of music aficionado. With his latest solo release, violinist and composer Christopher Tignor has moved on from the meta-narrative concept behind 2014’s Thunder Lay Down
