astrïd ~ A Porthole (I)

Rachel Grimes added her blessing to 2017’s Through the Sparkle, and while her piano is absent here, her spirit remains.  With each release, astrïd seems more like the heir apparent to Rachel’s.  Like that Kentucky collective, they love a conceptual release, and A Porthole

Dustin Laurenzi ~ Snaketime: The Music of Moondog

True to the spirit of one of the most unique composers of the last century, Dustin Laurenzi and his collaborators have rerouted a few of Moondog’s most recognizable pieces away from the stories of the artworld and back towards jazz

Neal Heppleston ~ Folk Songs for Double Bass

Neal Heppleston calls the album folk, while we label it post-rock; fortunately we have one category that covers both.  Folk Songs for Double Bass pours folk lyrics into instrumental post-rock forges, opening new avenues of appreciation.  No longer do the old songs

The Hardy Tree ~ Stagdale

Over the past decade, Clay Pipe Music has been a reliable imprint, carving out a distinctive niche. While the artists have varied, the tone has remained consistent, centering on a type of British folk music that has one foot in

The Pirate Ship Quintet ~ Emitter

Last week, we chose Emitter as our pick of the season in post-rock.  It’s been a long journey for the Bristol band, a dozen years spent at sea.  The course of The Pirate Ship Quintet led through troubled waters, but now the ship is

Euglossine ~ Coriolis

You know how Pop Art tricks you into thinking it’s very simple while in fact being extremely complex? How all those images of comics expanded into huge canvases allude to certain forms of abstraction, or how those reproductions of publicity
