Umber ~ Sometimes that light, that shine, seemed like a pretty nice thing
It’s been ten years since we featured Umber on our site, although according to Bandcamp we’ve only missed one album. Alex Steward has come back strong in 2023, and remains as positive as ever. The title itself is so encouraging that it’s

Simeon Walker ~ Imprints 2
Simeon Walker has a razor sharp focus on the tiniest of details. There was a video on his Instagram feed recently that captured a pre-performance rehearsal in the enormous reverberant space of the cathedral in Wells and, after estimating the

ALT ~ Beavers / Disputed Territory
We’ve been reviewing the field recording and soundscape work of Abby Lee Tee for years. But when the artist announced a new moniker ~ ALT ~ and a sidestep to turntablism, we raised an eyebrow; after all, this is a significant left turn, indie

Lia Kohl ~ The Ceiling Reposes
The title is taken from a love poem by William Jay Smith. The full stanza: “Now touch the air softly / swing gently the broom. / I’ll love you ’til windows are all of a room; / And the table

Francesco Fabris & Ben Frost ~ Vakning
Few field recording artists experience risk recording in urban, suburban and forest environments, but the Room40 roster revels in extremes: Antarctic storms, sub-zero temperatures, and now the boiling opposite. Vakning was recorded at Iceland’s Fagradalsfjall and pairs well with Alyssa Moxley’s Underdrift:

Secret of Elements ~ Rebuilding Notre Dame OST
As Notre Dame burned on April 15, 2019, the entire world felt a tug in the throat. History and hope were going up in flames. The symbolism of the cathedral stretched far beyond France, even beyond religion. Thanks to heroic

Sergio Díaz De Rojas ~ Muerte en una tarde de verano
Muerte en una tarde de verano (Death on a Summer’s Day) may be the most charming, most hopeful album about death that you’ll ever hear. We humans generally avoid confronting our mortality. We shut it away, both literally (in hospices)

Lambert ~ All This Time
In a way, All This Time is Lambert‘s way of coming out. Those who love him—this reviewer counts himself amongst them—have always suspected it. That’s right, Lambert isn’t quite who he seems. He is… whisper it… a jazz musician (gasp!)
