Eleven Magpies ~ Two for Joy
The album may have been born in pain, but the music lands firmly on joy, reflecting the old nursery rhyme, “One for sorrow, two for joy.” Two for Joy is also the second album for Bristol quartet Eleven Magpies, but their self-titled

Anoice ~ unerasable fire
Anoice‘s music is so lovely that it’s easy to forget how topical it can be. In 2020, they released invisible wall, which reflected the “anger, sadness and hate” of the pandemic years. Now in 2023, they have released the companion

J.S. Bach / Dan Tepfer ~ Inventions / Reinventions
Dan Tepfer hasn’t featured on these pages before, which is an omission we’re keen to correct. Tepfer is a fascinating mix of jazz pianist, composer and innovator (both musically and in the literal sense of creating useful new apps). More

Milanku ~ À l’aube
We are starting to suspect that everyone in Montréal is a post-rock artist. The city, so integral to the genre’s development, continues to produce bands who keep the flame lit. Milanku, now on its fifth release, brings the sense of

Arrowounds ~ In the Octopus Pond
We’re amused whenever music is tagged with what looks like every genre imaginable, but In the Octopus Pond is a fungible album. Even the music rises from the primordial deep,. “Phosphene Silver Abyss” is a gurgling swamp of swirling guitars, coalescing

Nat Bartsch ~ Hope Renewed
We loved Nat Bartsch‘s Hope, the life-affirming 2021 album on which Hope Renewed is based, so it’s wonderful to see that the Australian pianist and composer’s optimism is undimmed. Hope was dominated by the piano and that remains true of

Lambert ~ All This Time
In a way, All This Time is Lambert‘s way of coming out. Those who love him—this reviewer counts himself amongst them—have always suspected it. That’s right, Lambert isn’t quite who he seems. He is… whisper it… a jazz musician (gasp!)
