Chemiefaserwerk ~ Collagen
With this review we welcome France’s new label Falt, which is “all about silent home-dubbing, photocopier machines, typewriters, scissors, glue, tapehiss and intentional noise”.

Ghosts of Sailors at Sea ~ Red Sky Morning
Bands take note: this is how to draw attention to an album. Boston’s maritime musicians Ghosts of Sailors at Sea have put time, effort and thought into every facet of this engaging LP. A uniformity of theme is apparent in the name of the

Spring Break Tapes ~ Mystery Batch
The latest batch from Spring Break Tapes is a novel idea, and a great one at that: they’re a complete and utter mystery. The initial submission we received only went so far as to say that the tapes were by new artists who hadn’t

Christine Ott ~ Only Silence Remains
This is one beguiling record. It starts with opera and ends with poetry, and in the end, only silence remains. The opening soprano segment makes an immediate statement: this is not conventional music. By the middle of the set, one may

Disemballerina ~ Poison Gown
When we last reviewed Portland, Oregon’s chamber metal trio Disemballerina, we concentrated on the politics of art and the blurring of gender. This time out, the band seems to want fans to concentrate on its music. This is a welcome development

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
