As Notre Dame burned on April 15, 2019, the entire world felt a tug in the throat. History and hope were going up in flames. The symbolism of the cathedral stretched far beyond France, even beyond religion. Thanks to heroic

Sergio Díaz De Rojas ~ Muerte en una tarde de verano
Muerte en una tarde de verano (Death on a Summer’s Day) may be the most charming, most hopeful album about death that you’ll ever hear. We humans generally avoid confronting our mortality. We shut it away, both literally (in hospices)

Lambert ~ All This Time
In a way, All This Time is Lambert‘s way of coming out. Those who love him—this reviewer counts himself amongst them—have always suspected it. That’s right, Lambert isn’t quite who he seems. He is… whisper it… a jazz musician (gasp!)

Greenhouse Ensemble ~ Rez-de-chaussée

Often the Thinker ~ Sincere Insanity
Often the Thinker is a bright spot in the cloudy evening sky of modern post-rock: a collective that honors the past while writing music for the present. Sincere Insanity is a fitting title for the times, a nod to the tug-of-war in
