Lasse-Marc Riek ~ One Hour As Trees In Finland
What’s it like to be a tree? For humans, the answer is nigh unknowable. Our sense of time and perspective is skewed toward the immediate. We are seldom rooted. Our internal rings are not concentric. Wendell Berry writes, “If we

Jim Perkins & Tom Gaisford ~ Byrds
This review begins with the cover art. We’ve seen the Bigo & Twigetti work of London-based French designer Lucille Clerc before, on two prior releases from Jim Perkins (Transfiguration and Constance), but this is her best cover yet. It looks like a picture

Tape Loop Orchestra ~ Go Straight Towards The Light Of All That You Love
Lighter than its predecessor, In A Lonely Place (2012), and more in tune with its true self, Go Straight Towards The Light Of All That You Love is another essential release from Tape Loop Orchestra. The underlying sadness isn’t an issue

William Ryan Fritch ~ New Words for Old Wounds/Clean War
With New Words for Old Wounds (and bonus EP Clean War), William Ryan Fritch‘s massive eleven album subscription series finally comes to an end. We’re sad, but not too sad, because we know that the artist will continue to record and release a generous amount of

ACL 2016: The Year’s 10 Best Music Videos
At year’s end, we realized that we’d already captured most of the year’s best music videos back in May. So instead of duplicating our choices, we’ve switched a vocal video for an instrumental one and re-titled the article. Enormous variety is

Skadedyr ~ Culturen
The easiest description of Norway’s Skededyr is “12 musicians and an even larger number of instruments”, but those words only begin to tell the story. As might be expected from such largesse, the band produces a wide variety of sounds, from post-rock to

Dalot ~ Mutogibito
We believe we’ve found the perfect album for Mother’s Day! With Mutogibito, Dalot (Maria Papadomanolaki) returns to her roots, while celebrating the newness of motherhood. She’s made an album which her young daughter Athena will likely enjoy now and brag about later. The
