A-Sun Amissa ~ For Burdened and Bright Light
Gizeh Records founder Richard Knox is continually expanding his sonic horizons. His participation in multiple collectives allows him to change masks and look at the world in different ways. Even with A-Sun Amissa, he’s produced quieter works than this. For Burdened

Dan Friel ~ Fanfare
On Dan Friel‘s Fanfare, everything goes up to eleven. The synths are distorted, the drums are crunchy, the guitars are fuzzed and the recording levels are pushed into the red. Now add horns. Thanks to members of Sunwatchers (Jeff Tobias), Grasshopper (Jesse

Alaskan Tapes ~ Views From Sixteen Stories
I’m pretty excited about the t-shirt I just ordered from Alaskan Tapes. It’s a perfect match for the fall, when birds begin to migrate lugubriously, starting their long journey from Toronto (the home of Brady Kendall) to parts south. The same

Clarice Jensen ~ Drone Studies
At first, one may be surprised at the genre of cellist Clarice Jensen‘s latest release. The artistic director of ACME is known for her work with Jóhann Jóhannsson, among others. So how did she end up making a drone album? The

Valentina Magaletti & Julian Sartorius ~ Sulla Pelle
Valentina Magaletti and Julian Sartorius’ first collaborative record begins with the frantic, indiscernible rattling of high-frequency objects fighting for space atop a series of damp thumps. Over three minutes these thumps align as the two drummers clack, rattle, and stomp

Jean-Philippe Gross ~ Curling
Curling is a real outlier. On the surface, it seems to appeal to an extremely specialized audience: a cross-section of those who enjoy field recordings and those who enjoy curling. And yet, I was unfamiliar with the latter before hearing the
