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

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)

Greenhouse Ensemble ~ Rez-de-chaussée
Rez-de-chaussée is the rare jazz album to appear on our pages, its appeal so immediate that we became enamored. This is the first album for the Montréal-based sextet Greenhouse Ensemble, filmed below performing, true to form, in a greenhouse. Akin to many
