Baulta ~ Another Second Chance
Finland post-rock quartet Baulta has emerged from the pandemic with a new album, prefaced by a pair of singles and a unified look. All the post-rock hallmarks are here: slow builds, big hooks, peaks and valleys, a sense of catharsis. The quartet

Robert Honstein ~ Middle Ground
Middle Ground is an accessible experiment, a solid metaphor, and an engaging triptych. But the most memorable aspect of the 20-minute EP is the light show. It’s not clear how it’s being done, but dancing spheres frolic around violinist Kate Stenberg’s wrist

Neo Geodesia ~ 2562 Neon Flames
Saphy Vong (Neo Geodesia) describes 2562 Neon Flames as “compositional schizophrenia or absurd fusion,” but the album is much more than that. As advertised, these sounds are fractured, dislodged, haphazardly stapled and sonically all over the map. This produces a disorienting

Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!
It may be an understatement to say that Godspeed You! Black Emperor‘s time has finally come. Not their musical time ~ that arrived when they first appeared on the scene a quarter century ago. But their socio-political time ~ the time they warned us about,

Matt Emery ~ Spotlight Series: Cello
With Spotlight Series: Cello, Matt Emery embarks on a new series of recordings, each focused on a single instrument. The theme of a samurai warrior headed into battle is echoed by the composer, albeit with a smaller risk of blood, dismemberment or death.

Laura Cannell & Kate Ellis ~ These Feral Lands: A Year Documented in Sound and Art
Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter. Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here. Violinist and cellist Laura Cannell and Kate Ellis have sought to “document a year in sound and art,” releasing an EP on the

Nonconnah ~ Songs For And About Ghosts
The third full-length from Memphis-area dronegazers Nonconnah, Songs For And About Ghosts sounds rather like the title suggests; the howls of haunted media, fluttery half-recorded-over melodies, an accumulation of memories, the layers of time, a cresting wave of drone, a
