Jan Matiz ~ II

Jan Matiz‘s experimental second album II is a beguiling mix of appealing acoustic guitar melodies surrounded by a chaotic haze of glitch and samples. Always playful, it is charmingly unpredictable yet singalong melodic. Opener “Siebenacht” sets the tone of the

Chaz Knapp & Mariel Roberts ~ Setting Fire to These Dark Times

The title seems especially relevant: Setting Fire to These Dark Times.  The phrase indicates a desire to burn the present era and start anew.  Other titles are tongue-in-cheek: “Flat Earth Drune for Non-Believers” pokes fun at conspiracy theorists, while “Warmth in

Mark Barrott ~ Jōhatsu (蒸発)

We’ve often travelled with Mark Barrott, whose three evocative Sketches from an Island releases are so closely linked with Ibiza that they instantly transport us to sun-kissed beachside bars, where we sip cocktails and look (in our minds, if perhaps
