Last Ex ~ S/T
“Well, great,” said Simon to Olivier. “Now what are we going to do with this thing?” The thing in question was an ambient soundtrack for a horror film, and the duo had just been told it would no longer be

U SCO ~ Treffpunkt
U SCO alternately defines itself as “avant-punk” and “progressive rock with a heartcore heart”, but their defining force is that of controlled chaos. A live fave around the Portland area, this trio rocks with the force of ten. The band

Hanan ~ Sonder
Hanan’s preferred timbre may be post-rock, but debut album Sonder contains other timbres as well: ambient, electronic, even a hint of modern composition. The Minneapolis quartet is more concerned with music than genre, and its debut album provides a wealth of sounds

fydhws ~ The Sound (four movements in the key of D)
It’s been a long time since we’ve reviewed the work of Kristijan Petreski, the multi-guised Macedonian composer. At that time, he was also known as Sferi. Sound of the Spheres was a grand experimental work addressing the eight planets of the solar system

Human Ottoman ~ Power Baby
Electric cello, vibraphone and drums: this original set-up yields a sound that bridges the gap between post-rock and modern composition. The trio’s timbre is fresh and distinctive; after hearing the album, one would be able to recognize their notes at

Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche ~ Zubberdust!
BOOM! And we’re in it. One second in, and the album is already rocking at full throttle, cranking out the metal riffs typically reserved for the end of longer tracks. And it just keeps getting better from there. Already, the

Rumour Cubes ~ Appearances of Collections
Four years on, London’s Rumour Cubes have finally made good on the promise shown on their debut EP, We Have Sound Houses Also. Not that The Narrow State was a throwaway, but it simply added three new songs to those found on the EP.
