Resina ~ Resina

Resina is the perfect album for fall, the music’s autumnal hues enhanced by the artist’s fiery hair.  Fatcat’s 130701 imprint has an ear for talent, and introduced the Polish cellist Karolina Rec to a global audience on their summer compilation, Eleven into

New Label: Unifactor Tapes

Cleveland’s Unifactor Tapes makes a splashy debut this month with a trio of quirky releases and an avian art motif.  These birds are not normal, nor is the label; and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The label’s first release doesn’t

Ricarda Cometa & Dario Dubois Duo ~ DDDRC

A collaboration between the explosive, anti-musical Ricarda Cometa and the krautrock dronesters of the Dario Dubois Duo would sound like something not entirely logical. After all, the last RC album was noisy, dirty, and full of unexpected turns, while the

Ef / Tiny Fingers ~ Vayu

One of our favorite post-rock bands is back, and this time they’ve brought friends!  Gothenburg’s Ef has established a name for itself over the past decade, and every release is now an event.  Pelagic Records’ Split Series pairs them with Israel’s psychedelic rockers Tiny

Petrels ~ Jörð

Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart longs for, and have no fear.  Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet. This quote, from W.B.

pg.lost ~ Versus

When did pg. lost become this melodic? I wonder as I delve into the opener of the Swedish quartet’s latest album.  “Ikaros” is a lovely piece, but so wavy, so rolling, so unexpected.  The guitars are intact, the electronics remain present, the builds and the

Marihiko Hara & Polar M ~ Dance

The music will play, but Dance is also a way of life, an inspiring philosophy realized through music, for and from the soul. In early 2016, Kyoto-based Marihiko Hara and Polar M (Masumi Muranaka) were commissioned to compose some new pieces for

Christopher Tignor ~ Along A Vanishing Plane

Does ingenuity of composition heighten enjoyment of it? Perhaps an age-old question dividing certain camps of music aficionado. With his latest solo release, violinist and composer Christopher Tignor has moved on from the meta-narrative concept behind 2014’s Thunder Lay Down
