Port Mone ~ Thou
“Can we go outside and play?” The question is a cry from children and cubicle workers, an expression of love for natural sunlight, for nature, for purity. The outdoors is freer, less constrained. In this spirit, the Belarus trio Port

Beware of Safety ~ Lotusville
A double LP, one pink and one purple, Lotusville brings joy to both the eyes and ears. This bright explosion symbolizes “the true Los Angeles”, the city that wakes up when the rest of the city goes to sleep. Beware of Safety refers

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

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
