Ef ~ Delusions of Grandeur
After six years, it’s safe to say that Gothenburg’s Ef has proven to be the rare post-rock band with staying power. They’ve done so by creating a distinct sound that at one time was a blend of Efterklang and Sigur Rós, but

moody alien ~ no evil
A lot can happen to a moody alien after releasing an album. One can gain popularity, confidence, friends (although one must be on guard ~ would these people be friends were it not for the success of the first album or the

Toundra ~ (III)
The third time around for Madrid’s Toundra, and this one’s a doozy. One look at the cover, less subtle than the iceberg of (I) but in line with the Cupid-shot children of (II), and the message is clear: there’s no holding back. Toundra brings

Ana Never ~ Small Years
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Groan. Raise your hands if you are thoroughly tired of that cliche, especially in the context of another music review. It’s one of the old fallbacks of our net-dwelling kind, along with unfortunate

Delphine Dora, Bruno Duplant, Paulo Chagas ~ Onion Petals As Candle Lights
We last heard Delphine Dora on her solo piano album, A Stream of Consciousness, and the new album is about as far afield from the former work as can be imagined. No, it’s not Nordic black metal, apologies for underestimating your imagination! The
