Damian Valles ~ Strand
Two years after Exposure, Damian Valles returns to VoxxoV Records with Strand. The new cover (a painting by James Whistler) may be a bit brighter than the last, but the music is just as dark. If anything, it’s gone from bleak to dangerous.

Manuel Knapp ~ Azoth
Ahh, what a nice, soothing release. Little plinks and plonks and plucks, perfect for napping on a soft spring day. Let me get my pillow. Wait, what was that? DID SOMEONE JUST CRASH INTO MY HOUSE?!? What are these clouds

New Label: Heavy Mess
The fact that ambient music thrives on tape is no surprise. If music can offer sanctuary from the daily grind, cassette culture helps to create a physical connection between the music and the fan. Perhaps the magic’s in choosing such an
