Red Light New Music ~ Barbary Coast

In many ways, Barbary Coast reminds me of the times when classical music halls produced brawls and minor scandals. This is not to say that you’ll stand up and punch your audio player of choice, demanding for it to act

Baldruin ~ Portal

Baldruin (Johannes Schebler) has just completed a hat trick.  Miniaturen, a collection of foreboding yet tiny tracks, arrived in January on A Giant Fern.  This was followed in August by the mysterious, synth-drenched tape Klaue on SPAM.  These tapes have now been

Emmanuel Mieville ~ Ethers

Emanuel Mieville can be described alternately as a field recording artist who creates drones and a drone artist who uses field recordings.  On Ethers, he attempts “to lower drone music from the skies”, and succeeds; their earthbound nature is clear.  This makes

Co La ~ No No

The unusual lead single “Suffering (Tuesday)” makes one curious about the entire album.  Vocal samples, machine guns, crashes, a horn, a dog and an alarm are shoehorned into a percussive, upbeat track that seems to change suffering into something celebratory,

Cars & Trains ~ Dust

Portland, Oregon’s Tom Filepp (Cars & Trains) has made two sonic shifts on his new tape.  The first is that after three vocal albums, he’s now fully instrumental.  (Yay!)  The second is that he’s enlisted William Ryan Fritch on orchestration.  This

Justin Small ~ Summer

When last we checked in with Do Make Say Think’s Justin Small, his subscription series had just begun.  At that point, we’d had the chance to preview four tracks; now we’re up to nineteen.  It’s safe to say that the experiment

LONE ECHO ~ Noize

Noize is anything but noisy. In reality, it’s shy and a little subdued. Liquid notes, swelling synths and lonely lines make up a nocturnal, ambient panorama perpetually showered by a fine, light drizzle. Down below, neon lights sparkle as Saturday night
