Two years ago, we reviewed I Can Be a Clay Snapper, from Slovenian trio Širom. Their highly unique sound continues to be undefinable; in the same way that Dead Can Dance expanded the lines of world music, Širom challenges assumptions of

Hugar ~ Varða
Icelandic duo (with friends) Hugar makes a huge step forward with its sophomore album, from self-released to Sony Masterworks. Not that their debut album was modest ~ it included Ólafur Arnalds on drums, along with brass and a string section. The new

Pillars ~ Cavum
Can a post-rock band be both massive AND melodic? Absolutely. This is the arena of Indianapolis (Indiana) quartet Pillars, who live so close to October’s POST! festival that they can sleep in their own beds. “Dissolution” was the album’s lead single,

Russian Circles ~ Blood Year
Chicago trio Russian Circles is taking its time, and it shows. Blood Year is precise where it needs to be and unhinged when necessary. The album floats from an ambient beginning to a pummeling ending. Once the drums of “Arluck” arrive, fans will
