The Ambients ~ Into Red Dust
We recently reviewed a band named Glockenspiel who didn’t have a glockenspiel, and now we meet a band named The Ambients who isn’t ambient – although ambience is a key factor in understanding their music. The music of The Ambients lies somewhere

Takeshi Nishimoto ~ Lavandula
Takeshi Nishimoto has expanded his palette in recent years as part of the electronic duo I Am Not a Gun, but his Sonic Pieces debut is pure guitar. Lavandula, the scientific name for lavender, stems from the Latin lavare, “to wash”,

deathrowradio ~ Yummy
Many will be shocked when they hear this new record, asking, “Is this really d_rradio, the duo who released the lovely ambient album Forecast a couple years ago?” While prior works have been marked by diversity, few expected pounding percussion and swirling guitars

Lullatone ~ Summer Songs EP
Fun, fun, fun! This EP is for positive people, and for people who want to be positive. If you are a grouchy person who hates barbecues, prefers to stay inside all summer and doesn’t want to get wet, this music

Debuts and Downloads: Post-Rock and Post-Metal
After the success of our last feature, we’ve expanded our parameters to include a few harder-edged releases. Post-everything is not dead, as proven by these debuts from Caves of Glass, Envoys, Mandelenda, Mobility Chief, Secheron Peak and Those Amongst Us Are Wolves.

Glockenspiel ~ Dupleix
Let’s address the obvious first: Glockenspiel does not feature a glockenspiel. A drunk friend just happened to say the word in a funny voice, and it stuck. The album title may have been meant to honor a French governor, metro station, ship,

Sigur Rós ~ Kveikur
Q: “What’s that Sigur Rós song that goes, ‘Oo-OO-oo’, and then there’s some guitars? A: All of them. That’s the popular joke about the Icelandic supergroup. At one time the band’s sound seemed fresh and new, an antidote to the staid and

Henry the Rabbit ~ Earthen Birth By
One would be hard-pressed not to like this album; in fact, one would need to be a total curmudgeon. Adorned by the artist’s own stylized woodcuts, Earthen Birth By (not, as some might expect, Earthen Birth, by) is instantly endearing, a return to
