Iskra String Quartet ~ ISKRA

Listening to ISKRA is like listening to a Greatest Hits of the Past, Present and Future.  If you’re a fan of modern composition, you’ve probably already heard the work of this quartet ~ you just might not know that you’ve heard them.  If you’ve

Essence Music: Merzbow, Troum & raison d’être

Someone is working very hard over at Essence Music, because this pair of releases contains some of the most beautiful packaging we’ve seen all year.  It’s also a brilliant showcase for three veteran artists (four if you count Troum as two) that continue

Im Argen is a nighttime album; it just doesn’t fit during the day.  Slow, smoky, introspective and lean, this is the sound of dark jazz clubs, stolen glances and dropped cigarettes, burning themselves out in the shadowed streets.  And yet, look at that
