Frank Horvat / Mivos Quartet ~ For Those Who Died Trying
Here’s something that shouldn’t happen, but does. One should be able to protest garbage being dumped in one’s village or the environmental effects of a coal-fired plant without getting shot. But dozens of people have been abducted or killed in

We Will Fail ~ Dancing
Our story begins with a sad admission from Aleksandra Grünholz (We Will Fail): “I don’t dance anymore.” The statement conjures associations with George Michael (“And I’m never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm”) and Men Without Hats (“If

Foxhole ~ Well Kept Thing / Keeper
It’s rare for one of our favorite bands to sneak out an album without telling us, but in the case of Foxhole, it’s understandable; the Kentucky band’s last release was in 2006, a full five years before we existed. Yes, post-rock

Glasir ~ New Dark Age
Dallas post-rock trio Glasir is over the moon that their album has been picked up for a vinyl pressing by Elusive Sound. And not just any vinyl ~ amazing incandescent vinyl, as shown in the backlit photo to the left. (There’s an

Nazar ~ Enclave
A few years ago, after one too many mass shootings, I stopped liking music that incorporated the sound of guns. Far too many artists were using violence as percussion, seemingly ignoring the mourners while desensitizing the ears. But now, thanks

A Closer Look: Unsound 2018
London. Berlin. New York. Krakow? Poland isn’t exactly the first place one associates with experimental music. Krakow is far from the bustling, cosmopolitan cultural centers, but it is nonetheless precisely this peripheral status that makes Unsound’s home-base so special. While

When Push Comes to Shove: Do We Tug? Or Do We Poll? (United States Midterm Elections List, 2018)
So, what is the cost of freedom? Granted, we’ve all heard the line before, perhaps by a well-meaning, though humorless, high school civics teacher. Between clouds of pulverized chalk, there was likely more than a little reverence shown towards the

Here’s a first for the site: an album released concurrently with a sculpture and a series of souvenirs (phone covers, refrigerator magnets), presented by a Danish-Honduran composer who incorporates the a cappella love songs of her deceased grandfather. Envase is the
