Timothy Fairless ~ Plural

The second time’s the charm for Timothy Fairless, as he follows last year’s 4-track, 27-minute EP with a 4-track, 29-minute EP.  Measurement laid the groundwork for Plural, a unified work that could fall into any one of our seven categories, a rare

Plesiosaur~ ~ Falling

With Jurassic World all the rage this summer, it seems like a good time to be named plesiosaur~, even with the tilde.  When last we encountered Tonesucker’s Steve Elsey, he was in mourning; this time, he’s stretching his wings and flying to

Liberez ~ All Tense Now Lax

How good is Liberez‘ third album?  So good that we requested to review it, instead of the other way around ~ a rare occurrence for our site. Liberez is the brainchild of John Hannon, but he’s not alone in this

Haiku Salut ~ Etch and Etch Deep

The midpoint of the year is the perfect time for summer music ~ sets whose sounds evoke holidays, carnivals, fireworks and marching bands.  Etch and Etch Deep fits the bill, and seems tailor-made for picnics in the park.  Earlier this year,
