Floating Spectrum ~ A Point Between

A Point Between is a perfect example of intermingling disciplines.  Abe Pazos’ remarkable cover draws us in, creating intrigue before a single note is played.  The music of Floating Spectrum (Mei-Fang Liau) sounds exactly like the art, or vice versa: swirling, generative, open

Anoice ~ Ghost in the Clocks

If the cover looks familiar, it’s because you’ve almost seen it before. When we reviewed the third record of Anoice, The Black Rain, Rich opened in praise of its beguiling cover art. Artist Yoko Shinto has returned to portray the

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

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
