Bernard Rands ~ Chains Like the Sea

We love a unified thematic release.  Chains Like the Sea places its planets in alignment.  Robert Henry Harrison‘s cover art is the entry point.  This oil painting, Dylan Thomas Boathouse, is angular yet measured, a taming of wave and architecture, a fluid representation

Blair Coron ~ On the Nature of Things

Blair Coron‘s full-length debut refuses to stay in the background.  A trio of dynamic shifts make the listener sit up and take notice.  The first is that the opening track is first softer, then louder than one might expect.  The
