Jerusalem In My Heart ~ Daqa’iq Tudiaq
There’s a lot to unpack with this record, but the easiest entry point is just to listen. What do you hear? What do you associate with what you hear? How does the music make you feel? Arabic music sounds different

Kammerflimmer Kollektief ~ There are actions we have neglected and which never cease to call us.
We regret to inform you that the title of Kammerflimmer Kollektief‘s new album is so long that we don’t have space for a review. Just kidding! The album is incredibly succinct given the extended nature of the name. This is the

Father Howl ~ Wayward Doctrine
The little ghost from the band’s self-titled debut may be gone, but it’s been replaced by a host of new terrors, portrayed in the Crumb-like cover design from Aaron Guadamuz: drugs, mass media, scornful adults. Inside the disc are other

Fall Music Preview ~ Rock and Post-Rock
Miss the heat? Then you’re probably not near Italy’s Mount Etna or Hawai’i’s Kilauea. Rock music provides the perfect soundtrack for an eruption, and this fall’s crop has riffs to spare. Like last year, the best albums were slow to

Nadja ~ Sonnborner
Interconnection is a common theme to Italian artist Le Nevralgie Constanti (Mirko Rossi, translated as “The Constant Neuralgia”), whose work is featured in Nadja’s Sonnborner. It is not the simple interconnectedness of which so many a New Age perspective dwells

A-Sun Amissa ~ Ceremony in the Stillness
Ceremony in the Stillness is billed as a development in the evolution of A-Sun Amissa, the group founded by Gizeh leader Richard Knox. It’s hard to believe that this is the first time we’ve heard drums on an A-Sun Amissa album, but

Papa M ~ A Broke Moon Rises
There’s something quite pretty about the image of A Broke Moon Rises, reflected by the cover art’s luscious classical frame of an expressionist painting of a curling hand, a sensation of ongoing effort whose immensity is simply that of living.

V.A. ~ Notes From the Underground: Experimental Sounds Behind the Iron Curtain
Ever from the Dostoevskian name of this intriguing compilation, there’s a drive to articulate all these avant-garde expressions from beneath the Iron Curtain in the 1970s and 1980s as a form of resistance to the totalitarian utopianism born from the
