sleepmakeswaves ~ these are not your dreams

We’ve gone an entire season without reviewing a post-rock album, which we suspect has never happened before.  We’ve been waiting for an album to blow us away.  Fortunately, since sleepmakeswaves has been releasing these are not your dreams as an EP trilogy, we’ve been

Wife Signs ~ Beneath the Weight of Care

The current worldwide pandemic has detonated many a discussion around care, about what it means, about who should or should not enact it, about the loss, the warmth, the worth, even the commotion that ensues from a myriad small acts

Peter Jones ~ Carrying Glass
