Musala nan Elian ~ Glossolalia
Founding our own Glorious Chapels is a collective in the true sense of the word, shifting not only members, but monikers. Founded in 2016 when the bands Stems and Anathème joined forces as The Chapel of Exquises Ardents Pears, the

Jenny Haniver ~ Haunt Your Own House
First off, what a cover! Zach Hobbs’ art produces immediate intrigue; we want to know how this LP sounds, and we want to know right now. The first born child of recording artists Amulets and Bus Gas, Jenny Haniver sounds a

Fran & Flora ~ Precious Collection
Precious Collection is a remarkably diverse LP from cellist Francesca Ter-Berg and violinist Flora Curzon, drawing from Klezmer and Yiddish tradition, folk and modern composition, with a smattering of electronics to sweeten the pot. One is never sure what one will

Hour ~ Ease the Work
Hour, the Philadelphia ensemble led by Michael Cormier-O’Leary, has outgrown the Tiny Houses of its debut. A dozen performers appear on this album, and in a curious coincidence, there’s one track for each of them. Tiny Houses’ lead video was shot in

That many of our most treasured classical composers were outstanding improvisers is a fact that we tend to overlook. Partly that’s a function of them simply not being around to improvise any more, partly it’s because we pursue the “Urtext”
