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

Christian Frederickson, Jason Noble, Ryan Rumery ~ The Painted Bird | Amidst
Amidst is the second of three works written for Pavel Zuštiak’s modern dance trilogy The Painted Bird, which is itself based on the surrealistic novel of the same name written (or patched together) in 1965 by Jerzy Kosinski. Amidst recently enjoyed a re-launch in

Often the Thinker ~ Better Part of Vice
Oh, those beautiful horns and strings! The horns are the first instruments to appear on Better Part of Vice, easing the listener gently into the gorgeously languid “Quarter or Half of Greater or Less,” a track title that makes one question the

ACL 2016: Top Ten Rock and Post-Rock
As autumn approached, we were worried; where were all the good rock and post-rock albums? But at the end of the year, they entered in a flurry. What began as a disappointing year turned out to be incredibly solid ~

World’s End Girlfriend ~ Last Waltz
This is an album for the end of the world. Katsuhiko Maeda writes, “we are dancing on the shaking ground … until the end.” World’s End Girlfriend‘s album is so massive, so apocalyptic, and yes, so contagious that it becomes a

Films ~ signs from the past
We’re lucky that Japanese composers Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata are involved in so many projects – it means we get a frequent release schedule from them that alternates between Anoice, Films and solo records, as well as other side projects.
