J.S. Bach / Dan Tepfer ~ Inventions / Reinventions

Dan Tepfer hasn’t featured on these pages before, which is an omission we’re keen to correct. Tepfer is a fascinating mix of jazz pianist, composer and innovator (both musically and in the literal sense of creating useful new apps). More

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

KING VISION ULTRA ~ SHOOK WORLD (hosted by Algiers)

One of the motifs that unifies SHOOK WORLD, a collaborative album produced by GENG PTP aka KING VISION ULTRA, is the use of field-recordings of trains. This is partly a call back to beginning of Nas‘ Illmatic, cementing a connection with

Rob St. John ~ Örö

Örö is a multi-media extravaganza, another aesthetic triumph from Blackford Hill.  The pack includes an installation film, an artist’s book, a lathe-cut 7″ and an additional hour and 33 minutes of season-based field recordings from the former military island of Örö

Ozmotic | Fennesz ~ Senzatempo

One day soon we may hear the last of the albums produced during the pandemic, but not yet.  In the physical sense, this period was responsible for a blossoming of music; in the psychological sense, it highlighted the experience of

Susan Schuppli ~ ICE RECORDS

The simple title bears multiple meanings.  First and foremost, ICE RECORDS is a historical document, a ledger in sound.  Second, by switching the noun to a verb, ice records changes in atmosphere, pressure and temperature: for example, ice cores reveal the extent of

Violeta Vicci ~ Cavaglia

We are 1750 metres above sea level in the Swiss alpine valley of Cavaglia, Val Poschiavo. Is this where we can hide from this era’s war atrocities? Is this where we can rediscover our kinship with nature and move away

GoGo Penguin ~ Everything Is Going to Be OK

The title is calm and reassuring, a salve in savage times.  But the fact that GoGo Penguin is telling us that Everything Is Going to Be OK implies that it is not OK now.  The album itself was born out of heartache, as
