Cara Stacey & Camilo Ángeles ~ Ceder

It must have been an interesting moment back in February 2017 when Camilo Ángeles arrived at the studio for a recording session with Cara Stacey. There’s the piano, of course, mic’ed up and ready to go. “That’s good,” says Camilo

Sarah Davachi ~ Let Night Come On Bells End The Day

Confession time: I held off reviewing this for a long time because I couldn’t quite wrap my head around this album. What I could hear was fascinating music but it seemed to be buried under layers of distortion – not

Precocious Mouse ~ Virginia Creeper

Virginia Creeper‘s hisses are an invasive presence, souring air and constricting oxygen. Ringing with the shrill clang of an alarm instead of a polite purr, Virginia Creeper‘s continuing hiss is a communion, a slasher in line with the Scream series or Point

Mary Stark ~ Industrial Folklore Tapes Vol. III – Film as Fabric

Last year, the Industrial Folklore Tapes series (which is actually a vinyl series) made its debut with Instruments of Industry and Springs.  Like its predecessors, the third installment shines a spotlight on a professional art that is rarely noted and is swiftly becoming extinct.

Depatterning ~ The Community Pasture

Living in Ireland, born in Canada, descended from Ukrainian immigrants ~ Gary Mentanko is a prime example of blurred heritage.  With all the talk about protectionism and borders, it’s important to note how indistinct the line really is.  It’s appropriate

Matthias Urban ~ SiAl

Only two months have passed since the release of Matthias Urban‘s Passagen, but SiAl is an entirely different creature.  The earlier album investigated the oscillations of drum cymbals, while the new set is a soundscape of Icelandic ocean recordings.  But wait, there’s more!  In

Andrea Borghi ~ VHS

Oh, the videotape!  Older people can still remember what a big thing this was, back in the day.  For the first time, one could tape programs or record home movies at ease, and with TWO players, one could mix and

Francisco Meirino ~ The Ruins

When one hears the phrase “old tapes,” one thinks of repetitive messages engrained in one’s subconscious.  Francisco Meirino owns a more physical set of old tapes, “the pieces and ruins of sonic archives.”  These had been set aside and forgotten while
