IMA ~ The Flowers Die in Burning Fire
In one corner, Japanese percussionist Nava Dunkelman, trained in taiko and gamelan. In the other, Hong Kong electro-acoustic composer Amma Ateria. When the bell rings, the two women approach the center and embrace, dubbing their new partnership IMA. The Flowers Die

Kajsa Lindgren ~ Everyone is here
Where do our parents end, and where do we begin? How old must one be to become one’s own person? Answers are elusive, but on Kajsa Lindgren‘s latest album the emphasis is more on connection than disassociation. Three generations contribute music to Everyone

Hammock ~ Silencia
Silencia completes a trilogy launched by the death of a loved one. 2017’s Mysterium was a tribute to Marc Byrd’s nephew Clark Kern and the ravages of grief; 2018’s Universalis looked upward, to transcendence and peace. Silencia honors silence, not as the space between tracks but

Blind Cave Salamander ~ The Svalbard Suite / Ecker & Meulyzer ~ Carbon / Glåsbird ~ Svalbarð
Great minds think alike, or perhaps it’s just coincidence ~ but three albums about Svalbarð have been released in a short span of time, including two in a ten-day span. Each occupies a different genre, and brings something unique to the table.

Emanuele Errante ~ This World
The cover to Emanuele Errante’s latest project risks— yet subverts— a hamfisted explanation of the record’s symbolic contents. Bristling, bare tree branches stick out above four rigid, brutalist structures, as if to tell us point-blank that our world, this world,

Black House Triangle ~ Id Ego Superego
Black House Triangle has given listeners a space in which to ’embrace discord, cacophony, accidents, hypnosis’. Because of its exploration of discord, Id Ego Superego is a naturally-dark design, and an ominous start to the shrivelling of 2019. Listen to

Keaton Henson ~ Six Lethargies
Those who have enjoyed the music of Keaton Henson over the past decade may be surprised to discover his instrumental side; he’s known for tender ballads sung in the Damien Rice style, his voice a reed perpetually on the verge of breaking.
