Nicol Eltzroth Rosendorf ~ Big Other
On the surface, everything about Big Other screams darkness: the cover, the horror fiction, the admission that the album “is basically a mid-life crisis.” Despite all this, sunlight seeps through a windblown curtain, a cracked blind. Nicol Eltzroth Rosendorf is serious yet winking,

Maze & Lindholm ~ A River Flowing Home to the Sea

Matmos ~ The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises in Group Form
The new triple album from Matmos is at turns fascinating, confounding, enlightening, humorous, maddening, timely and brilliant. In terms of ambition and scope, it’s one of 2020’s most significant releases. Like it, hate it, think it overblown or too subdued, listeners will

Ian Wellman ~ The House that Ate Itself / Kin Leonn & Hiroshi Ebina ~ Faraway Vicinity
How do you know when you are home? Home might be a specific building, or a hometown, or a region. It might mean be a feeling of oneness we experience in nature, with family, or anywhere we belong. We may

Amy Cutler ~ Örö Tape: Fieldtrips of the Damned / Marina Rosenfeld & Ben Vida ~ Vertice
