Adriaan Swerts ~ One

For those of us high up in the northern hemisphere, the nights are drawing in and the temperature has begun falling towards its winter low. We’re more than usually aware of the cold to come: the heat that we’ve taken

Molly Joyce ~ Perspective

How are we defined, and who has the right to define a human being?  Is disability a weakness, and is anyone truly whole?  These questions and more are tackled on Molly Joyce‘s ambitious Perspective, a musical collage incorporating 47 interviews with persons

Daniel Avery ~ Ultra Truth

Daniel Avery has pulled out all the stops for Ultra Truth.  There’s a little bit of everything here, then something more.  The album straddles multiple genres, from ambient to modern composition to electronic to pop.  The release was announced six months in

Indignu ~ Adeus

There’s a slight disadvantage to leading with one’s best, fullest track, as Indignu has done with “urge decifrar no céu.”  One expects the entire album to sound like the (extended) single.  Only after hearing the piece in context does the whole make

Bekah Simms ~ Bestiaries

Bestiaries is enthralling and unique.  The music is a reflection of its cover art: a melange of intricacies, colorful, yet frightening, grotesque, yet intriguing.  Centrediscs calls it “accessible yet uncompromising.”  This is a fitting album for October, or for any time

Nonsemble ~ Archaeopteryx

2022 might be the Year of the Birds.  First came the massive compilation For the Birds: The Birdsong Project, then Christopher Tin’s opera The Lost Birds, and now Nonsemble‘s Archaeopteryx.  Many of today’s birds – even some of the most popular ones –
