Date Palms ~ The Dusted Sessions
The Dusted Sessions follows “The Dust Bowl Theme”, one of the standout cuts on the compilation Your Victorian Breasts, reviewed here earlier this year. That languid desert piece finds its echo on “Dusted Down”, which to no one’s surprise is one of

Brundlefly & the Swede ~ Cabin Music
Long before post-rock meant vaguely emotive song titles and soaring, tremolo-picked crescendos, there stood a loose contingent of sonic provocateurs in the Midwest (namely Chicago and Louisville) approaching instrumental music from a very different angle. Melodic, jazzy, and clearly spirited

Films ~ a forbidden garden
When one sees both Takahiro Kido and Yuki Marata among the band members, one wonders, “is Films an offshoot of Anoice?” The answer is yes, but Films is more of a first cousin than a sibling or a child. The strings form

Go! Save the Hostages! ~ S/T
Political change and societal instability have been hallmarks of Egyptian life over the last few years. Yet even as the riots occur and the governments fall, bands continue to make music to share with the world. Much of this music

Sumner McKane ~ Select Visual History
I was recently given a two volume set on the history of the British Isles; the first part covered everything up to 1901 whilst the latter covered just the 20th Century. Yet this volume was a mere 150 pages shorter

Preacherz of the Savage Truth ~ biZon EP
The biZon EP is a curious oddity, a 17-minute score to the French zombie film “Michel”, that begins with hints of John Carpenter and ends with hints of Clint Mansell. (Thankfully “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, heard on the trailer in

Andrew Weathers Ensemble ~ What Happens When We Stop
Folk music comes in many guises, but at its heart is that no matter from where it originates or who sings it, this is music by and of the people – literally, folk’s music. Sometimes it’s passing along a fanciful

Sunwølf ~ Midnight Moon
Late last year this duo from Leeds wowed us with their solid debut of slow desert sludge and mature sense of composition. With such a quick turn-around on the follow-up, one had to wonder if the B-sides were coming. But Midnight Moon is such
