Elskavon ~ Origins
Twin forces of time and nature permeate Elskavon‘s latest recording, musically as well as thematically. We’ve enjoyed having “North Sole” (a simultaneous pun on “Pole” and “Soul”) to play this winter, met by its summer-like companion, “Coastlines.” The first tumbles as

Simon Scott ~ Long Drove
Simon Scott describes Long Drove, his latest release on Room40, as a “site-specific sound study which shifts the Anthropocene discourse from spectatorship to musical participation, accountability and creative engagement.” Across the album he demonstrates his own collaboration with nature while

Gorgonn ~ Six Paths
Six Paths is a brutal album, as demonstrated in the first and last titles: “Abyss” and “There is Nothing on the Other Side.” Gorgonn is inspired by Japanese Buddhism’s Six Paths, while leaning more toward the terrifying than the uplifting. Four such paths

Mike Lazarev ~ Sacred Tonalities
We have a dysfunctional relationship with time. We groan as the alarm calls us from our sleep. We feel harried by the clock, rushing from meeting to meeting. We spend hours mindlessly scrolling. We watch our children grow up and

Tomo-Nakaguchi ~ The Long Night in Winter Light
We almost never publish a review a month before its release (this may be the first time), but we do have a good reason: The Long Night in Winter Light is a cold winter album, better suited for February chill than for

Mirek Coutigny ~ Through Empty Landscapes and New Beginnings
Through Empty Landscapes and New Beginnings is a massive step forward for Mirek Coutigny. The most obvious change is the expanded instrumentation, a team effort that grows as large as eleven. Even the main composer, known primarily for his piano and keyboard
