MONO ~ Pilgrimage of the Soul
2021 is shaping up as a great year for MONO. After releasing a devastating double live album earlier this year, they’ve unveiled a pummeling post-rock opus. Pilgrimage of the Soul is loosely based on William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence, a poem whose

Fall Music Preview ~ Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz
So far, 2021 has been an incredible year for rock. We’ve already seen some heavy hitters return with memorable albums; GY!BE, Mogwai, Fly Pan Am and Bell Orchestre were all featured on our pages earlier this year. This fall, they

Closet Disco Queen & The Flying Raclettes ~ Omelette du Fromage
Sometimes we meet albums that we don’t want to like (even though we do) because they are just too cheesy. So what would happen if we found an album named after a cheese dish, inspired by an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory,

William Tyler & Marisa Anderson ~ Lost Futures
There is a spectral openness chipping away at the edges of William Tyler & Marisa Anderson’s debut collaborative record, Lost Futures. The respective Nashville and Portland-based guitarists flirt with the hauntological implications of our current, twenty-first century climate throughout eight

Charles Spearin ~ My City of Starlings
We last encountered Do Make Say Think’s Charles Runstein on Thank God the Plague Is Over, recorded with Josefin Runsteen (whose own fine HANA – Three Bodies is slated for release this fall). Unfortunately the plague is still not over, but fortunately we have new

Mumbles ~ Maystow Morrow: a story of rustling straw, thistle burrs and fire
We originally planned to wait until October to review this release. When it first arrived, the pandemic was ebbing, and we were not in the mood for dark music. But now the horror has returned, along with our appetite for

Year of No Light ~ Consolamentum
Although the collective has been around for twenty years, Year of No Light seems the perfect band name for our times. Their long, slow, guitar-drenched vistas are painted in undulating shades of descending doom, punctuated by periods of intense energy. The last

Figment Firmament Figtree ~ The Moving Fashion Of The Motionless
There’s a lovely comfort about settling into an album that is simultaneously fresh and familiar. The Moving Fashion of the Motionless fits the bill, and the duo’s debut album seems to have fallen for the sixth letter of the alphabet, so
