Thomas William Hill ~ Asylum for Eve
Once in a while, we come across an artist so good that we are flabbergasted not to have heard of them before. On even rarer occasions, we realize that we have. Multi-instrumentalist Thomas William Hill is the founder (and at one time,

Poppy Nogood ~ Mood Paintings
Poppy Nogood‘s follow-up to last year’s Music for Mourning continues to delve into the personal realm. The unofficial subtitle, “a self-portrait in four parts”, marks it as an introspective set; the fact that a dozen instruments are played by the artist and

Last Builders of Empire ~ Άͅδης | Hades
We greatly enjoyed Last Builders of Empire‘s Post-War, a conceptual album that served as the soundtrack to a soldier’s last letter. Hades can be seen as a natural follow-up to that work, taking the Dante insprirations to an even deeper level. Over the

Giordano Simoncini & Alessandro Incorvaia ~ Check Out
To check out means to investigate; it also means to die. Both meanings are applicable to this new multimedia offering from Giordano Simoncini and Alessandro Incorvaia, available as a 10″ record plus photographic book. The images stand well on their own, as does the

ACL 2016: Sound Propositions
2016, eh…? I say this every year, but I find it increasingly difficult to put these kinds of year-end retrospectives together. The December rush often means a lot of records get left behind, some newer records get overvalued while those
