Jeremiah Cymerman / Charlie Looker ~ A Horizon Made of Canvas

A Horizon Made of Canvas is a bleak marvel, a journey through the creeping sensation that something new and unexplainable is around the corner. Sharing its name with the first chapter of a book by neo-reactionary writer Mencius Moldbug, the

Wendra Hill ~ Ungdomskilden

Ungdomskilden is odd in all the best ways.  The entry points are spoken word samples: a woman hawking the praises of laminate, a man counseling comfort around snakes.  But beneath these lie the artistry of improvising collective Wendra Hill, a Norwegian duo

yadayn ~ Elders

Elders is a reflective album, rising from the ashes of an undisclosed “personal failure.”  Was it a romantic relationship, a business venture, a relocation attempt?  Perhaps it’s better not to know, as the album is more accessible as a result.  This

New Age Doom ~ Himalayan Dream Techno

Many times, heavy psychedelic projects make it seem as if their music is growing organically into chaos, but deep down or at the end they let structures remain intact, the original order always restored and reestablished. It is to New

Golden Hymns Sing ‘Hurrah’ ~ The Great Dystopian Songbook: Songs for the Setting & Rising Sun

The Long Island post-rock trio Golden Hymns Sing ‘Hurrah’ dropped an album in the black hole of the release schedule, a week before Christmas, but we’re pulling an Interstellar to beam it back to our readers in the new year.  The post-rock

We’re already one week into the new year (Can you believe 1/52 of 2021 is already over?) and early on it’s shaping up to be a solid year of music.  We’re hoping that as nations emerge from isolation, we’ll start

ACL 2020 ~ Best Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

All four of our sub-categories find a home in this year’s list, forming a diverse community.  Loud and soft tones co-exist, but no voice is raised to drown out the rest.  If only our whole world could be like this!

CORECASS ~ V O I D

Hamburg’s CORECASS (Elinor Lüdde) is impossible to pigeonhole.  Her chosen name sounds like that of an industrial act and is similar to that of an established metal band (Carcass).  Her template mutates from release to release, encompassing rock, electronics, modern composition, gothic
