Matthew Collings ~ Splintered Instruments
Splintered Instruments calls to mind a seemingly unintentional question: “Why don’t we listen to pop music?” By we, I mean those reading this review, and by listen, I mean primarily ~ as there’s no escape from the popular tunes of the day. The

Various Artists ~ Your Victorian Breasts
Here’s a welcome oddity, a double-vinyl potpourri of demos, live tracks, collaborations, unreleased gems and genre-splicing originals. Unfortunately it’s not polite to mention the album’s title or inspiration (a Supreme Dicks song) in public. Mention to Grandma that this is

Ciènega ~ Viva Bocashi
