Elara ~ In the Depths of Time, In an Ocean Made of Stars

Post-rock is a tricky genre.  As a life-long fan, I tend to regard almost all post-rock as good.  But each year, only a handful of post-rock albums rise above the remainder, demanding repeat plays.  In the Depths of Time, In

Kate Carr ~ I had myself a nuclear spring

No stranger to creative formatting, sound artist Kate Carr has just released her latest work on a USB flash drive, housed in an aluminum tin.  While it may suggest smuggled secrets from Spectre, these recorded sounds are meant to be shared. On the

SONAR ~ Black Light

Ebbing bass rumbles and guitar atmospherics commence Black Light, before dueling harmonic lines enter and a kick-and-bass rhythm jabs in bars of 5s and a 3. This time signature endures for the next seven minutes while the track evolves in

Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ End of Summer

Fresh from the success of the Sicario score, Jóhann Jóhannsson returns with the polar opposite (pun intended).  End of Summer is a sedate, otherworldly expression of arctic cold and white-hued landscapes: subtle where Sicario was overt and filigreed where it was bombastic.  The film’s degraded 8mm black-and-white

Mind Over MIDI ~ deep map

Cold, dark atmospherics snake around the music of deep map. Something lurks just below the surface, producing the occasional splash and a series of subtle ripples as its tentacles slowly break the water. Norway’s Helge Tømmervåg (Mind Over MIDI) plunges the listener into a murky landscape
