Sea Island & Ferry ~ Crossings
We love discovering new artists as they debut. Hong Kong’s Sea Island & Ferry caught our attention with an evocative name and unusual setup of piano, cello, xiao (Chinese bamboo flute) and saxophone. The quartet is billed as a “neochamber ensemble”, and

Jung An Tagen ~ Agent Im Objekt
Warning: strobe light video! The flashing lights and hyperkinetic sequences of the lead single may cause seizures, while others will see colors that aren’t there, reflecting Jung An Tagen‘s interest in synesthesia. Try it if you’re brave! The album also wins
