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

Mouse on Mars ~ Lichter
Infinite Greyscale continues its silkscreen vinyl series with another suburb single-track effort, this one a 13-minute percussive creature from Mouse on Mars. This series has proven an excellent outlet for new creative energies, as the demands of an album are removed,

Blue Blue Youth ~ We Are Wood And Likely To Burn
The EP is a slow burn, reflecting its title: a smoldering cigarette in the woods, sunlight funneled through a magnifying glass, a carelessly abandoned campfire, an overworked fuse. These are the dog days of summer, days of heat shimmer and

Eluvium ~ False Readings On
As one of the preeminent artists in the ambient and electronic scene, False Readings On is a welcome and much anticipated return from Eluvium (Portland’s Matthew Cooper). The feel of the music has changed slightly, because every recording has a different soul. You can label it

Schoolhouse ~ Fade
Fade likes to swim in the deep end. At first, the music’s unprepared, because the young notes struggle to keep afloat as they desperately attempt to ride the choppy, electronic waters. Be it an act of bravery, daring, or just a
