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

Tides of Man ~ Every Nothing

Four and a half years have passed since the Tampa quartet Tides of Man released their debut Young and Courageous ~ enough time for their original website to have been taken over by an actual tide chart.  But now they’ve returned with a vengeance,

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving ~ No Tether

A happy 10th anniversary to Perth’s Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, who have outlasted many contemporaries through evolution.  No Tether is evidence that there is still plenty of room for growth in post-rock, as long as artists are willing to blaze their own

Whale Fall ~ Sondersongs

L.A. post-rockers Whale Fall have taken four years to record their follow-up to The Madrean.  The time has been well-spent, as they’ve produced another catchy, upbeat, and life-affirming album.  Sondersongs is very much a release of its time, with a timely message

Cara Stacey & Camilo Ángeles ~ Ceder

It must have been an interesting moment back in February 2017 when Camilo Ángeles arrived at the studio for a recording session with Cara Stacey. There’s the piano, of course, mic’ed up and ready to go. “That’s good,” says Camilo
