David Downing ~ Cosmic Conspiracy

Six minutes of ambient swells beneath an eerie chorus of high-pitched, soft-edged cries equally beautiful yet haunting: such is the opening to Cosmic Conspiracy by US-based and self-proclaimed ‘post-rock cellist’, David Downing. After such mellifluous greetings that ensnare the listener

Sebastian Plano ~ Impetus

Denovali is truly an artist’s friend.  Once again, the attentive label is releasing a brand new album by an underexposed artist while concurrently re-issuing an earlier work.  The latest beneficiary is cellist Sebastian Plano, whose debut album, Arrhythmical Part of

Lucy Claire ~ Suite

It’s hard to be the standout on a 40-song compilation, but that’s what we said about Lucy Claire‘s “Paelistin” when we reviewed SEQUENCE6 and urged readers to check out her Soundcloud page.  Fortunately Gavin at This Is It Forever also noticed and signed

Moon Ate the Dark ~ Molt and Grow

Last year’s self-titled debut from Moon Ate the Dark enchanted our readers, who made it our most popular review of 2012.  The head of Brian Records was so taken by the album that he asked the duo to record a 2-track follow-up

Sarah Neufeld ~ Hero Brother

Most of our readers have heard Sarah Neufeld before, without knowing her name.  In the last decade, she’s played violin on numerous albums, most famously as part of Arcade Fire but most memorably as part of Bell Orchestre.  She’s contributed to releases

Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds ~ In Passing

The most common comment made about instrumental music is that it “sounds like a soundtrack”.  Some of  Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds‘ music already is a soundtrack, gracing the entrancing short film “Where am I”.  David Dang’s film makes a great advertisement

Luke Howard ~ Sun, Cloud

A lovely album from start to finish, Sun, Cloud is at times achingly beautiful, a reflection of its title and its launching point.  Luke Howard is also the name of the meteorologist who classified the clouds; this composer shares his name while translating
