Helen Money ~ Becoming Zero
The fourth solo album for rock cellist Alison Chesley (Helen Money), Becoming Zero is more melancholic than its predecessors, and for good reason: the album was recorded after the death of her parents. The stages of grief are apparent here, in particular

Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ Orphée
Most readers will be surprised to learn that six years have passed since Jóhann Jóhannsson‘s last solo album. The artist’s film work during this time has been so prolific and publicly recognized that it would be easy to assume that he’s

Molécule – 60°43′ Nord (Deluxe Edition)
Molécule‘s 60°43′ Nord is the techno record that won’t die, and for good reason. First released in 2015, the album was recorded on a fishing boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and contains its rolling qualities as well as

Pigeon Laundry ~ S/T
It’s hard to resist a duo whose first single and video features a leaf blower. Yes, “Blow” is destined to be the go-to track for lawn workers this upcoming season. Yet while the leaf blower is the highlight, this brilliant track doesn’t

Darren McClure ~ Togari summerscapes
It’s been a long layoff for Impulsive Habitat, but earlier this month the label returned with a half-dozen releases, the most timely being Togari summerscapes. The second word is invented ~ my MacBook keeps insisting that I want to write summer’s capes ~ but for

Fragments ~ Imaginary Seas
Rate Your Music may seem haphazard, but it’s also a valuable resource for discovering new music. That’s how we found out about Imaginary Seas. The album is currently ranked #54 out of this year’s 127 post-rock albums, yet has the second-highest

Russian Circles ~ Guidance
10 years of Russian Circles (12 counting EPs). TEN YEARS! This alone is a laudable achievement. The fact that the trio has continued to stay relevant while making minor adjustments to its sound is icing on the cake. A slightly longer-than-usual

Dan Hayhurst ~ Critter Party
Critter Party looks and sounds like a breakfast cereal ~ specifically, Crispy Critters (although a case could be made for Freakies as well). It’s easy to imagine these eight tracks as little monsters, colorful and mischievous. They bubble, they gurgle, they
