Mary Lattimore ~ Goodbye, Hotel Arkada

Goodbye, Hotel Arkada is a wistful album that seldom sounds sad.  This may be the byproduct of perspective; perhaps it is the presence of collaborators.  The hotel of the title is already in the process of transformation, undergoing a Ship

From Overseas & zakè ~ Demain, dès l’aube

Birds in the Brickwork ~ A Strange Peace

A Strange Peace can be seen as an extension of last year’s Recovery.  The name Birds in the Brickwork is now capitalized on Bandcamp while remaining lower case on the physical edition, representing a gradual return to the time before.  Back

Hara Alonso ~ Notions of Hope

Hope. Such a positive word. Yet, as Hara Alonso writes in the thoughtful introduction to her new album, when different groups have different hopes, serious conflict can arise. While many in our parents’ generation hoped that hard work would secure

Rumpistol ~ Going Inside

Remember, be here.  Now trust.  Let go.  Be open.  The way out is in.  Surrender to love.  If this sounds like therapy, it is.  These are the titles of Going Inside, returned to their original sentences.  Copenhagen’s Jens Berents Christiansen (Rumpistol)
