Indignu ~ Adeus

There’s a slight disadvantage to leading with one’s best, fullest track, as Indignu has done with “urge decifrar no céu.”  One expects the entire album to sound like the (extended) single.  Only after hearing the piece in context does the whole make

Lake Mary ~ Slow Grass

Slow Grass has appeared in various forms in recent years, including a digital EP by Lake Mary and Patrick Shiroishi in 2020 and an eight-minute offering with Oxherding in 2021.  The full 40-minute version is now presented on Whited Sepulchre: two distinct sides

Curha ~ 3

Here’s an album one can judge by its cover ~ even if one cannot predict the sound, one can predict the tone.  Curtis Hasselbring (Curha) is having a (literal) blast, as the trombone is a major part of his timbre,

Mirlitorrinco ~ Odas mixtas para criaturas mínimas

What is this strange creature that we see? Odas mixtas para criaturas mínimas promises “mixed odes for minimal creatures”, the creature in question being the Mirlitorrinco, which is not only a “creature of strange morphology and dramatic grunts… a unique monotreme mammal”

Russian Circles ~ Gnosis

Chicago’s Russian Circles is back, and as strong as ever.  Their newest album may replace loud-quiet-loud with loud-louder-loud, but that’s okay, because post-rock fans need this sort of outlet on the tail end (we hope) of a draining era.  Gnosis means spiritual knowledge, and

Morgan Szymański & Tommy Perman ~ Music for the Moon and the Trees

Music for the Moon and the Trees is a warm album that honors its title.  Morgan Szymanski‘s guitar is made from an Italian red spruce selected by Luciano Lovadina under a full moon; the album was conceived in Tommy Perman‘s family woodland

Esmerine ~ Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More

A few weeks ago, Esmerine surprise-dropped a new digital album, with the official physical release set for August 26.  This is a pretty rare feat, typically reserved for the likes of Beyoncé, but Esmerine is a luminary in the post-rock world.  Way
