Drömloch ~ Late Style
Yesterday we reviewed an album that was performed on a healthy church organ; today we review one performed on an unhealthy church organ. Today’s entry, a Hohner organ “on the point of collapse”, is kicking out patterns and swollen notes as

Lost in Kiev ~ Nuit Noir
At first, the deep-throated vocalizations and dialogue samples are a curiosity, their necessity not immediately apparent. But after the album is played to its bitter end, all is revealed. These nine pieces represent the Nuit Noir (black night), and serve as impressionistic

Teasips ~ Proxemic Realms
Please allow me to introduce you to the cleansing, evocative music of Teasips (Angela Frances Wilson; she’s also one half of Electric Sound Bath). Enveloped in a sightless fog, these slow moving songs rise up and out of wide, cold lakes, at

Ed Carlsen ~ The Journey Tapes
Ed Carlsen‘s The Journey Tapes is not a series of tapes, but a CD. From this we understand that the journey is symbolic. The bittersweet nature of these compositions (whose titles include “Cage”, “Grey” and “Rain”) leads us to believe that some

Machinefabriek ~ Crumble
Many of Machinefabriek’s greatest works are long-form pieces, and the 34-minute Crumble is Rutger Zuydervelt’s finest release since last year’s Sneeuwstorm. We recall that album because it seems that a piece of that work has snuck into this one: the howl & crunch of

Wrekmeister Harmonies ~ Light Falls
Wrekmeister Harmonies has scored as high as #2 on one of ACL’s year-end charts; Godspeed You! Black Emperor has hit #1. So what in the world are the two of these artists doing together? It’s just not fair! The GY!BE
