Midori Hirano ~ Soniscope
Soniscope is a rainy day album. When sun and sand beckon, the music fades into the background; but when one is stuck inside, dreaming of the beach, the sounds surge to the foreground. Midori Hirano‘s compositions seem simple on the surface

Mirla ~ Solitaire
Solitaire is a glorious and life-affirming album. Mirla (Emily Mirla Harrison) addresses issues of isolation, separation, loss and hope, documenting a period that might be mistaken for 2020-21, but is in fact 1942-44. Drawing sustenance from the past, she uncovers lessons

Closet Disco Queen & The Flying Raclettes ~ Omelette du Fromage
Sometimes we meet albums that we don’t want to like (even though we do) because they are just too cheesy. So what would happen if we found an album named after a cheese dish, inspired by an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory,

William Tyler & Marisa Anderson ~ Lost Futures
There is a spectral openness chipping away at the edges of William Tyler & Marisa Anderson’s debut collaborative record, Lost Futures. The respective Nashville and Portland-based guitarists flirt with the hauntological implications of our current, twenty-first century climate throughout eight

Christina Vantzou, Lieven Martens, Jan Matthé & Christophe Piette ~ Serrisme
We’ve learned a new vocabulary word today: serrism, the cultivation of grapes under glass. At one point in its history, Hoeilaart (Belgium) dedicated over 13,000 greenhouses to this purpose; today the number has dwindled dramatically. Serrisme is a celebration of the

Bruno Bavota ~ For Apartments: Songs & Loops
Last year, we reviewed Bruno Bavota‘s Apartment Songs and Apartment Loops, noting that each EP was technically a Volume 1 and would “be joined by its other half somewhere down the line, with the possibility of a mega-release in 2021.” Now that time has come! One

Botany ~ Portal Orphanage
Portal Orphanage is the missing link between two 2020 Botany releases. Billed as a “postscript” to End the Summertime F(or)ever, the EP also uses the same stack of 45s as Fourteen 45 Tails ~ although of course the middle parts of the records are used.
