Christopher Tignor ~ A Light Below
Wow. We’ve been enjoying the music of Christopher Tignor for 15 years, beginning with that first Slow Six album, on through Wires of Tension and finally to his solo work. We’re not surprised that A Light Below is great; we’re surprised that it’s his best

ironomi ~ 琹の葉 kotonoha
In Japan, the leaves are falling, but Down Under, spring has just begun. We recommend kotonoha to our Aussie friends, as the timbre fits. ironoma extends the season with lush green imagery and lovely jade vinyl, calling the album a “Japanese midsummer saunter

Luke Howard ~ The Sand That Ate the Sea
‘All deserts have stories. All open lands and empty seas have songs that they alone sing late into the night.’ It’s not even three minutes, but watching “Salt Flats” makes my skin crawl like nothing else has managed to this

Whettman Chelmets ~ Long Read Memories
Memory is a constant in Whettman Chelmets’ work, but it is not the kind of exploration that centers on the ephemeral and the nostalgic. Instead, his music delves into absence, the failure of recollection, and in this album, the many

Bruno Bavota ~ Get Lost
Romantic composer Bruno Bavota continues to evolve on his latest album. We have always known the pianist as a warm, happy individual, seemingly untouched by the world. But recent societal shifts have grown so bad they have affected his outlook. And if
