anrimeal ~ Could Divine, Remembered

It’s rare for A Closer Listen to cover albums that are remixed or reimagined when we haven’t covered the parent project ~ but now we’re doing it for the second time in one week.  Just as Eartheater turned a vocal electronic project

Henrik Meierkord & Pawel Kobak ~ Marhia

The first collaboration by cellist Henrik Meierkord and house producer and flute player Pawel Kobak is a jarringly playful collection of songs that bounce from sweeping ambience to rave-ready dub breakdowns— and then back again— in a matter of tracks.

Simona Zamboli ~ Ethernity

“Take me somewhere,” sings Simona Zamboli on the song of the same name, the only vocal track found on the immersive Ethernity.  The plea is wobbled, looped, and folded into pulsing pads with an ever-increasing insistency.  While some may perceive the request as

NOMON ~ Card II

Reunited sister percussionists Shayna Dunkelman & Nava Dunkelman are clearly enjoying themselves on Card II, an exuberant EP that passes all too quickly but lifts the mood like a latte.  Nava is familiar to our readers as half of IMA, while the

Jay Chakravorty ~ A Map With No Memory

A Map With No Memory dances gently across the genres of ambient, electronic, drone and modern composition.  These flirtations reflect the genesis of the compositions, written to reflect the experience of falling in and out of love with people and places.

Ká ~ A Hidden River

Ká returns to the Bohemian forest to find A Hidden River, both literal and metaphoric.  It’s a thrill to walk deep into the heart of nature, following the sound of flowing water, and there to stumble on a reservoir, a waterfall,

Current Value ~ The All Attracting

Warning: this album is loud.  There’s no ignoring The All Attracting when it plays; the volume is at least 10% higher than that of the average recording, while the low end is particularly visceral.  This is immediately apparent in the crispy first

Eartheater ~ Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition

Once in a while, an artist wanders from one genre into another, but seldom does a primarily vocal artist release a primarily instrumental album.  As part of PAN’s unique roster, Eartheater is highly original within her primary field; we’re just glad that
