Mono & The Ocean ~ Transcendent
Mono & The Ocean‘s split 12″ follows the template of the recently reviewed All We Expected/Raum Kingdom split LP. Mono’s side is instrumental, The Ocean’s has vocals, and yet both are complimentary. One might say that the groundwork was laid

Esmerine ~ Lost Voices
It’s just not fair. Montreal’s Esmerine was already one of the world’s best instrumental rock bands, with roots stretching back to GY!BE and Thee Silver Mt. Zion. But now the band has added members and guest stars, including touring member Jérémi Roy

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

Radare ~ Im Argen
Im Argen is a nighttime album; it just doesn’t fit during the day. Slow, smoky, introspective and lean, this is the sound of dark jazz clubs, stolen glances and dropped cigarettes, burning themselves out in the shadowed streets. And yet, look at that

Waking Aida ~ Full Heal
Waking Aida‘s Eschaton was one of our favorite post-rock albums of last year, as well as a member of our Happiest Music Chart. The band’s second effort, Full Heal, is just as accomplished, albeit a bit more serious-minded. The thing we appreciate most

All We Expected / Raum Kingdom ~ Split
With an A side from an instrumental post-rock band and a B side from a guttural post-metal band, it’s easy to guess which we’ll like best. The surprise is that the two make such a lovely racket together. Belgium’s All We
