The Lumberjack Feedback ~ Stronghold

We dare any post-metal-loving listener to resist the power of The Lumberjack Feedback after viewing the video for “Failing to Witness His Mighty Work.”  This French quintet is very into its music, and after hearing an album with two drummers, it

OOOTOKO ~ OOOTOKO

Our first taste of OOOTOKO was last year’s striking video for “Elvas,” which features choreographer and dancer Laura Guessan struggling with an impossible rope.  The Middle East timbres and Dune aesthetics are indicative of the cinematic tone of this nineteen-member international

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

Kalaha ~ Nordhavn / Randal Fisher & Dexter Story ~ Wenge

Whether we long for far-flung places or to revisit a remembered location, music has the power to transport us. Two recent releases have one foot in jazz but step off into different terrains. The second album combines sounds from across

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
