Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt ~ Brace Up!
What’s in an involuntary gesture? We’re used to framing it as a loss of control, but we could also conceive of tics and physiological tremors as a bodily effort to take said control back, to call the attention of an

R.A.N. ~ Şeb-i Yelda
Şeb-i Yelda, a Syriac-Persian term signifying “the longest night”, is R.A.N.’s way of romantically historicizing the current situation of the Middle East she calls a homeland. The term, however, also makes reference to an Iranian festival celebrated on the winter

Styrofoam ~ We Can Never Go Home
The title is sad, but the music is upbeat. Active from 2000-2010, Belgium’s Styrofoam then went silent for nearly a decade. We Can Never Go Home is a welcome return to the sound of a warmer time, an indication that in some

FEAN (Piiptsjilling with Joachim Badenhorst, Sylvain Chauveau and Annelies Monseré)
