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

Empire of the Sea ~ Skywatchers EP / The Voyage
A recent avalanche and subsequent revival of all things Post-Rock has ensured the style’s borders are almost full to capacity. Despite the increase, and the standard cliches that rise up on popularity’s tidal wave (for example, the copying of influential

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

The Sun Aesthetic ~ Thicker Threads
Thicker Threads at a first listen seems to be an album drenched in sunshine, but a closer one presents us with music that is better appreciated on those cloudy days when all you can hope for is a flicker of light

Dead Sea Apes ~ Lupus
Hold the space. Light the candles. Stir the brew. The ritual is about to begin. The curiously named Lupus begins with a strike of a singing bowl: an invitation calling our reptile minds into action. Confident and thick as a

John 3:16 ~ Visions of the Hereafter
It comes as a slight surprise to learn that Visions of the Hereafter is the first full-length album from John 3:16, but it turns out that all of his other releases were collaborations or EPs. So congratulations, Philippe Gerber, you’ve earned it! It’s

Blueneck ~ Epilogue
Epilogue is the Blueneck album that many people have wanted, but that few expected. Over the course of three previous albums (and three gorgeous Christmas EPs), the band had slowly drifted away from the world of instrumental post-rock into the world

Ahleuchatistas ~ Heads Full of Poison
Rock improv fans will love Heads Full of Poison, album #7 from the forward-thinking Ahleuchatistas. While down to a duo, the band uses studio work to emit a sense of fullness. (It’s hard for one man to play many guitars at once!)
