Methods Body ~ S/T

The self-titled album from Methods Body is engaging and unpredictable, beginning in one place and ending where few might expect. The LP is broken into two parts, “Quiet” and “Claimed Events,” each with its own sub-movements.  Contrary to expectation, “Quiet” is anything

Klara Lewis ~ Ingrid

The granular, watery artwork that adorns Klara Lewis’ latest release is just as irreducible and calculated as the music it accompanies. The single, twenty minute piece fragments a lone cello loop the way that outer threads on a quilt might

LFSaw ~ attuning

Much time is spent considering the way we view nature, and some on how nature views us; but very little on how nature views nature.  On a recent trip to the island of Amrum, LFSaw (Berlin’s Till Bovermann) attempted to enter the

Duncan Speakman and Tineke De Meyer ~ The House Was Alright

When music is combined with spoken word, every aspect has to line up: tone, timing, and delivery are key.  Duncan Speakman and Tineke De Meyer thread the needle on The House Was Alright, underlining the most banal subject ~ the weather ~ and

Páll Ragnar Pálsson, Caput Ensemble, Tui Hirv ~ Atonement

Páll Ragnar Pálsson‘s new album is dark and mysterious, reflecting the ravages of war and the uncertainties of time.  Yet one can’t help but view it through the lens of love.  This is because the album would not exist without
