Richard Pinhas ~ Reverse
At some point, this was going to be Richard Pinhas‘ final album. He even had the title – the social media-troubling @Last. This farewell was conceived and begun at a particularly dark point in his life – he lost his

Keiji Haino / Jozef Dumoulin / Teun Verbruggen ~ The Miracles of Only One Thing
With an arcane name typical of Keiji Haino works, this collaboration involving Belgian improvisers Jozef Dumoulin (Fender Rhodes & electronics) and Teun Verbruggen (drums & electronics) draws together live and studio cuts that help create a sense of visceral, yet

My Education ~ Schiphol
Yes, Schipol holds the post-rock staples: repetitive riffs, layers, dynamics and lengthy tracks, but those are about all the clichés you’ll find. Hailing from Austin, TX, My Education has been creating sounds since 1999. Their cast of members has rotated over

Radament ~ S/T
If the recorded debut of duo Radament doesn’t sound like a debut, it’s because Barcelona’s Juanjo Fernández (piano and composition) and Giorgio Fausto Menossi (drums) have plenty of experience in other bands. Their inspired collaboration shifts between composition and improvisation, as well as classical,

Last Builders of Empire ~ Άͅδης | Hades
We greatly enjoyed Last Builders of Empire‘s Post-War, a conceptual album that served as the soundtrack to a soldier’s last letter. Hades can be seen as a natural follow-up to that work, taking the Dante insprirations to an even deeper level. Over the

Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche ~ Pas pire pop, I Love You So Much
Montreal’s Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche is ironically billed as a “stripped down quartet,” as the sound of their second album is as raucous as their first. The album begins with a boom and never lets up; it’s a non-stop jam that

Drunken Sufis ~ Pala Pala
It would be silly to say that Drunken Sufis has mellowed with age. It’s only been a year since the energy drink of Cotton Candy Cluster Bombs, and two since the stuttered glitch of Fiber Optic Tap. So what is this new melodic undercurrent heard
