*Press A* ~ Frostpunk

The power of Frostpunk, by Piotr Musiał, resides in the able mix of late-romantic and modernist styles, reflecting, in a way, the game’s portrayal of the irruption of catastrophic natural disaster upon what was supposed to be an implacable history

Wander ~ March

We first reviewed Pinoy post-rockers Wander back in 2014 when we went on a Post-Rock Road Trip.  Back then, the drummer was only 18, but we were incredibly impressed, especially by the long title track “Mourning.”  We’re pleased to say that the

Billow Observatory ~ III: Chroma/Contour

Oscillating synths cut in and out of Billow Observatory‘s sound world, scissoring through opener “Serriform”, strobing like sunshine through a cluster of pine trees. The music on III: Chroma/Contour inhales nothing but fresh air. Surrounded by an all-encompassing light, it’s
