Jónsi ~ Obsidian
Obsidian may have been a surprise release, but it was long in the making, as evidenced by the intricacy of the music. This sumptuous album is thick in texture and stereo effects, a reflection of the concurrent exhibition at New York’s

Maybeshewill ~ No Feeling Is Final
Fans grieve when bands break up, but rejoice when they reunite. U.K. post-rockers Maybeshewill had called it quits in 2016, reuniting briefly for a concert (because when Robert Smith asks, people say yes). But now, seven years after Fair Youth, the quintet

The Hardy Tree ~ Stagdale Pt. 2
The first installment of Frances Castle (The Hardy Tree)’s graphic novel promised “a story that links two children across a generation, both outsiders.” Last time we met the plucky Kathy in 1975, and were introduced to the mysterious Saxon Jewel.

Explosions in the Sky ~ Big Bend (An Original Soundtrack for Public Television)
Even without video, post-rock conjures images of mountains and valleys, deserts and streams ~ so when Explosions in the Sky was asked to compose the score to a National Geographic documentary about local treasure Big Bend National Park, they were already
