SONAR ~ Black Light
Ebbing bass rumbles and guitar atmospherics commence Black Light, before dueling harmonic lines enter and a kick-and-bass rhythm jabs in bars of 5s and a 3. This time signature endures for the next seven minutes while the track evolves in

Vic Mars ~ The Land and the Garden
We’re telling you about this release early (pre-orders are still a week away) because Clay Pipe recordings tend to sell out quickly and we’d love everyone to have a shot at this one! The Land and the Garden is yet another

We Stood Like Kings ~ USSR 1926
We Stood Like Kings steps one year deeper into the past with its latest release, the follow-up to Berlin 1927. Like that release, the LP is a new score to an old film, this one being Dziga Vertov’s Russian classic A Sixth Part

Justin Small ~ Summer
When last we checked in with Do Make Say Think’s Justin Small, his subscription series had just begun. At that point, we’d had the chance to preview four tracks; now we’re up to nineteen. It’s safe to say that the experiment
