Jónsi ~ First Light

First Light is bright, beautiful and ebullient, and we almost missed it.  Jónsi‘s newest album is for those who miss the euphoric highs of Sigur Rós and have wondered if they would ever return.  Unlike Jónsi’s other solo efforts, First Light

Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD”

Godspeed You! Black Emperor has been around long enough to see most of its societal fears come true.  No longer prophets – because what is left to prophecy? – they continue to be truth-tellers and agitators.  More than a quarter century

Farah Kaddour ~ Badā / Andy Aquarius ~ Golla Gorroppu

Glacier ~ A Distant, Violent Shudder

A camera crew captures an astonishing moment.  At first there is the large, imposing mass, shattering all sense of scale.  Then, by a stroke of serendipity, the glacier cleaves, a huge segment, as wide as tall as a skyscraper, falls
