SØS Gunver Ryberg ~ SPINE
Copenhagen sound designer creates a lattice of patterns and textures on SPINE, prodding angular movements from listeners as they lean into the abstractions. This is the first release on Ryberg’s Arterial label, introduced with an inclusive and encouraging manifesto: “a place

Eldbjørg Hemsing, Arctic Philharmonic ~ Arctic
If Arctic already sounds like an award winner, it’s no coincidence; the album includes compositions from Jacob Shea (Blue Planet) and Frode Fjellheim (Frozen). But the connecting tissue is the splendid vision of Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing, who has arranged the work

Anna Salzmann & Garreth Broke ~ Healing + Hiding (Reworks)
Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to cover an album by a couple. Healing, from abstract painter Anna Salzmann and pianist Garreth Broke, is a pairing of eleven paintings and pieces, a doubling of miniatures. Hiding (Reworks) is a half-dozen re-imaginings of the track

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
