Steve Pacheco ~ The 4th

If music were ever to become visible to the naked eye, Steve Pacheco’s mesmeric The 4th would sport a pair of soft, silvery wings, a supple skeleton and a crimson heart pumping love, only love, into its veins. The 4th seems to defy

Rafael Anton Irisarri ~ The Shameless Years

One can rail about the state of society, or one can do something about it.  On The Shameless Years, Rafael Anton Irisarri leads by example.  During a period of stifled expression, he creates; during a time of anti-Muslim sentiment, he invites an Iranian

Širom ~ I Can Be A Clay Snapper

NYOS ~ Navigation

After two black-and-white albums and one black-and-white single, Finland guitar and drums duo NYOS has finally burst into color.  The cool wintry blue artwork of Navigation is a confident metaphor for the music, which continues to surprise.  Thanks to the looping, there’s no way

Sea Charms ~ Mystery Tapes

I’ve fallen fast for these Sea Charms.  This is a fun, homespun project, with Crystal on synth and Jess on sax.  The first two Mystery Tapes are taken from practice sessions, reflecting free-flowing, semi-improvisational play.  Add some arts and crafts ~ plastic toys,

bvdub ~ Heartless

Heartless is an unusual name for a bvdub album, in that Brock Van Wey’s music always seems to have heart.  But it’s a more restrained album that we are used to hearing from the prolific artist, which leads us to believe that the script has

Sonic Entrails ~ The Doxey Boggart Original Soundtrack

“ In English folklore, either a household spirit or a malevolent genius loci inhabiting fields and marshes” The Doxey Boggart is shrouded in a thick, pungent drone-fog and eclipsed by a family of gigantic, aged trees. Indistinct voices swirl around in the depths of the woods – a
