Heavenly Stems ~ Florals/Shell

Florals/Shell is a neat way to introduce a new project: two EPs, one on each side of a bright green 12″.  As a founding member of Trophy Wife, Ben Rimmer (now known as Heavenly Stems) is not entirely new, but his moniker

Celia Hollander ~ Timekeeper

It’s surely just a cosmic coincidence that the new album by Celia Hollander shares its name with the antagonists of the new series Loki – well, at least the Timekeepers are one part of the story. We’ll keep this review

Andrew Wasylyk ~ Balgay Hill: Morning in Magnolia

We don’t normally publish reviews so far ahead of release, but Clay Pipe Music’s lovely limited edition pressings tend to sell out fast.  Today is pre-order day for Balgay Hill: Mornings in Magnolia, and we want to give our readers a

Kate Carr ~ dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday

The splendid title may sing of post-rock, but dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday is more accurately described as post-music; a set of soundscapes culled from London’s Bricklayers Arms roundabout and chopped into minuscule pieces.  The album

BJ Nilsen ~ Irreal

It’s been a while since BJ Nilsen has released an album proper, although last year’s multi-month, hours-long pandemic project Pending / Auditory Scenes Amsterdam should be an album ~ it stands as one of the year’s most enduring sonic documents.  Now that Nilsen is

Tiny Leaves ~ View From Here

Joel Pike (Tiny Leaves) describes View From Here as “a shifting of perspective,” but as a year has passed between genesis and release, the EP represents two perspectives, one mid-pandemic and one emerging. Last spring the artist turned to nature for solace

Year of No Light ~ Consolamentum

Although the collective has been around for twenty years, Year of No Light seems the perfect band name for our times.  Their long, slow, guitar-drenched vistas are painted in undulating shades of descending doom, punctuated by periods of intense energy.  The last
