Austin Glover & Eric Perreault ~ Freight 1110 Through Greensboro
How much of the Andrew Weathers Ensemble is Andrew Weathers, and how much is the ensemble? As Austin Glover and Eric Perreault step out on their debut release, one can begin to discern the differences. The harmonies and Petrels-like drones of

Lightning Bolt ~ Fantasy Empire
Lightning Bolt have returned with one of their best albums yet, a pop-surrealist force that revels in the broken, expansive conquest of any and all space by hyperactive imaginations. Delivered by means of a different kind of punk than before

Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ ‘Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress’
If any instrumental album could be called an event, this is it. Godspeed You! Black Emperor has nothing to prove, and yet they keeping proving it. ‘Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress’ is worth the hype, although the band likely doesn’t care.
