Bonobo ~ Migration
Migration is one of the highest-profile releases we’ve ever reviewed; on release day, it was #1 on iTunes. Simon Green (Bonobo) certainly doesn’t need our help. So why review it? First of all, it’s that good. Second, while minor masterpieces tend

Alex Kozobolis ~ Weightless
With Weightless, Alex Kozobolis has managed to do something we thought impossible: to combine original tracks and remixes in such a way as to offer a complete album that never betrays its origins. For this we can credit the four remixers, who provide

Antoine Chessex | Apartment House | Jérôme Noetinger
Two long-form pieces, recorded at London’s Cafe OTO, offer a brand of excitement that can only be captured live: edgy, interpretive and unpredictable in all the right ways. Each piece is composed by Antoine Chessex, although the players vary on each;

Dave Phillips ~ Rise
Rise is an abrasive, enthralling, uncompromising work, designed for the hardiest listeners. It’s hard to imagine that this is the same Dave Phillips who just released a placid set of South African nature recordings. But yes ~ this is the yang to that yin. This set

Matt Parker ~ The People’s Cloud (Original Soundtrack)
Senator Ted Stevens may have accomplished a lot as a politician, but he is best remembered for calling the internet “a series of tubes.” Fast-forward to 2017, and our digital storage is now in “the cloud,” which has certainly caused

Anders Brørby ~ Mulholland Drive, 1984 / Phoenix Down
2016 was a prolific year for Anders Brørby, who began the year with Nihil (one of our Top Ten Drone Albums of 2016), followed it up with a split release on Land Animal Tapes, and topped off the year with this pair

Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche ~ Pas pire pop, I Love You So Much
Montreal’s Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche is ironically billed as a “stripped down quartet,” as the sound of their second album is as raucous as their first. The album begins with a boom and never lets up; it’s a non-stop jam that

Throwing Snow ~ Embers
Ross Tones (Throwing Snow) has just released the best set of his young and evolving career. The only problem is it may be hard to top. The key fact: Embers is mixed as a continuous set, and like the circle displayed on the cover, connects
