Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld ~ Never were the way she was
It’s a lovely thing when two solo artists mesh – in this instance, saxophonist / clarinetist Colin Stetson and violinist Sarah Neufeld. Each artist is coming off an artistic triumph (Stetson’s New History Warfare series and Neufeld’s solo debut Hero Brother), and each has developed a solid

Matana Roberts ~ Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee
Coin Coin Chapter Three is one of the best albums of 2015. How do we know this already? Because in the modern era, there has never been a year in which ten albums were better than this one. Matana Roberts is a

Jeff Stonehouse ~ Ghosts
Like a lingering cloud of black smoke, Ghosts slowly unfurls. Trailing its tendrils of sombre longing behind it, the ominous apparition appears as soon as the listener hits the play button. Darkly beautiful, and yet suffused, at first, with a

w. baer ~ Spalting
At first, Spalting hangs low to the ground, part of a dense electronic cluster that soon starts to throb and rumble in its nebulous hive. Distorted rattles and grinding, slightly dissonant textures start to intermittently fire, only to quickly drop out.

Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy ~ Sintetizzatrice
Ambient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis. Donato Dozzy layers and
