Tomáš Šenkyřík ~ Jaro (Spring)

A short while back, we reviewed Kate Carr’s false dawn, a celebration of the dawn chorus recreated through children’s toys and percussive instruments.  We expressed concern that one day we may only be able to recall the dawn chorus through tapes

Robert Honstein ~ Lost and Found

Robert Honstein‘s new album Lost and Found is a collection of three separate works for percussion with a common theme: childhood. We’re fortunate to have three beautiful videos of each of the works, so we’ve shared each of the videos

Richard Skelton ~ selenodesy

‘Skyglow’ sounds like it should be the name of an Ambient compilation we’ve been sent for review: a hazy, neon-washed collection bathed in a nocturnal shimmer. It is, rather depressingly, the name for the effect artificial lighting has on our

Tzusing ~ 绿帽 Green Hat

In China, a green hat is a sign of infidelity; few would choose to wear one, save in protest.  This is exactly what Tzusing does, using 绿帽 Green Hat to expose concepts of toxic masculinity, gender stereotypes and antiquated expectation.  Daniel Day

Arrowounds ~ In the Octopus Pond

We’re amused whenever music is tagged with what looks like every genre imaginable, but In the Octopus Pond is a fungible album.  Even the music rises from the primordial deep,. “Phosphene Silver Abyss” is a gurgling swamp of swirling guitars, coalescing

Kalia Vandever ~ We Fell In Turn

After leading a jazz ensemble on last year’s widely acclaimed album Regrowth, Kalia Vandever goes solo on We Fell In Turn, an album of trombone, effects and voice, the latter nearly inaudible ~ although one can occasionally hear breath, especially on “We Wept

Philip Samartzis ~ Atmospheres and Disturbances

Sitting somewhere at the crossroads between researcher, activist, scholar, composer, and recording engineer, Australian sound artist Philip Samartzis seems preoccupied with sound as both a natural and artificial phenomenon. While it would be easy to categorize Samartzis’ previous electroacoustic collaborations

KAADA ~ And If In A Thousand Years

KAADA is in the mood to dance and after listening to this album you will be too. On first glance this danceability might feel a bit like a change of pace from his 2018 album Closing Statements, which we loved.
