Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Unworks and Rarities
Parisian collective Oiseaux-Tempête follows Re-Works with Unworks & Rarities, an shorter-than-usual album, but without filler.

Mumbles ~ Hinterpest: a story of wildflowers, buttonweeds and cattle skulls
Hinterpest is a charming, alluring oddity. The release arrives from Sweden, but sounds unearthed from the old American west. It contains a folky, handmade tale that seems tailor-made for harvest festivals, but is released in spring. Yet spring is only the

Usti Waya ~ From Dust, We Rise
Few albums deserve comparison to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but this one fits the bill. From Dust, We Rise is an ambitious vision to which the artist commits his full attention. Every component is massive, from the inspiration to the presentation

Western Skies Motel ~ Settlers/Generations (With Stream Premiere!)
Denmark’s Western Skies Motel has taken a while to break through to our site, having previously released works on Audio Gourmet, Preserved Sound, and (sadly) the last release ever on Twice Removed. But René Gonzàlez Schelbeck has finally found the cover art to

Fovea Hex ~ The Salt Garden 1
As the natural heir to This Mortal Coil, Fovea Hex is a collaborative effort that produces sacred-toned music in both the vocal and instrumental fields. Thanks to a measured release pace, the group tends to fall off the radar every few years,
