Library Tapes ~ Patterns (Repeat)
Sensitivity and sadness are often known to link hands, but it’s usually not done out of love, less a public display of affection and more like a necessary, binding union. Sensitivity doesn’t always equal an automatic brand of sadness, but

Spurv ~ Myra
We’ve been waiting all year for a great post-rock album, and as summer approaches, we’ve finally gotten one. Norwegian sextet Spurv has made major strides since 2015’s Skarntyde, which demonstrated substantial progress from 2012’s debut. On Myra, the tracks are shorter, the riffs more

Rudi Arapahoe ~ A False Memory of a Sports Party
“Just be yourself”. This commonplace answer to many an existential query implies an absolute knowledge of the self, as if it was an unchanging object we’ve extensively and definitively investigated at some past point in time. And yet we change,

Seabuckthorn ~ A House With Too Much Fire
Thanks to its house of twig-thin strings and stick-dry melodies, Seabuckthorn‘s A House With Too Much Fire has been set alight, sizzling in the grip of a volcanic, smoke-drenched fever. In the past, Andy Cartwright’s music birthed sepia visions of

Various Artists ~ Embrace
What does Danish music sound like? The title of Minais B’s opening track is ironic: “I Think Most People Here Know.” The problem is that most people around the world don’t know, which is where this compilation comes in. Most people associate

Future Zen ~ Grograman and the Secret Sound of Colors
A homage to The Neverending Story – Michael Ende’s book, not the 1984 film – Grograman and the Secret Sound of Colors relates to the lion-like creature who lives in Goab, the Desert of Colors, a place in symbiosis with

Rauelsson ~ Mirall
Witness the continuing evolution of Rauelsson, a musical chameleon who continues to paint in new colors (although his primary palette remains green). In retrospect, the electronic shift of Mirall can be gleaned in 2013’s Vora, although that album also showed great movement from the

Terje Isungset ~ Beauty of Winter
It’s almost summer, an odd time to release an album titled Beauty of Winter. But despite its cold pedigree, the music sounds warm. The sound of an ice pick may remind some of shave ice, a summer treat drawn from the
