Shawn Feeney ~ Thin Places
Music for healing is a popular modern phrase, but the healing properties of music have been documented for millennia. One of the earliest well-known stories is that of King Saul, who when “tortured in spirit” summoned David to play the harp.

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

Kaboom Karavan ~ The Log and the Leeway
The Log and the Leeway is one of the most unusual albums we’ve received this year, from one of the most unusual artists. But where other artists come across as weird and off-putting, Kaboom Karavan (also known as Bram Bosteels) comes across as

Dmitry Evgrafov ~ Surrender
We’ve been fans of Moscow’s Dmitry Evgrafov from the very start, when he released Lying on Your Shoulder in a cardboard sleeve with tuck-in flap. From there he’s gone from strength to strength; Comprehension of Light is one of ACL’s top modern composition albums of the

Peter Jones ~ Carrying Glass
Here’s something we rarely encounter: a debut album without a press release, winning a review on the basis of sound alone. Dublin’s Peter Jones does provide us with some new vocabulary words to help decipher his music (ex. komorebi, the scattered light that
