Saltland ~ I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us
Constellation Records is clearly very good to their artists, because they tend to stick around. Saltland‘s Rebecca Foon, a veteran of Esmerine, A Silver Mt. Zion and Set Fire to Flames, is no exception. The cellist’s new project continues a

United Bible Studies ~ Spoicke
The 77 hard copies of Spoicke sold out swiftly, and it would be cruel of us to go on about Fluid’s exquisite packaging, so we won’t; we will, however, tell you that you really need to be on the Fluid Audio mailing

My Education ~ A Drink For All My Friends
Fear is one of rock and roll’s greatest sources of power, and to overcome fear is perhaps the human spirit’s greatest triumph. My Education has long been the real deal, never shy to experiment or follow its heart. It takes courage

Haiku Salut ~ Tricolore
The three women of Haiku Salut (one for each color of Tricolore) admit a love for the music of Detekivbyran and múm and the writings of Haruki Murakami, and their debut album does justice to all three. Accordion, trumpet and glockenspiel feature strongly, as

Adam Carpet ~ Adam Carpet
Caffeine is not needed to enjoy this album; Adam Carpet is caffeine. Two bass guitars, two drummers, 65dos-electronics and a projection screen make for an energetic sound and stage show. As evidence, check out the video for “Babi Yar” (below), whose selection and

The Shaking Sensations ~ Start Stop Worrying
The Shaking Sensations have a new drummer! No, they didn’t fire their old drummer, they added a second. This upgrade has provided the Danish band with an obvious boost on their second album (and third release overall). As early as a

Apricot Rail ~ Quarrels
Somewhat rare for a post-rock album, the press release for Quarrels includes the advertising phrase, “features the singles ‘Basket Case’ and ‘Surry Hills”. Singles? Since when do post-rock bands have singles? Are these going to be on 45s? (That would be amazing, but no.)

The Black Twig Pickers ~ Rough Carpenters
The soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? was a huge hit, and Mumford & Sons just won the Grammy for Best New Album. Even casual music fans own at least one of these discs. So why, after eight albums, are The Black
