Brandon Hurtado ~ Other Spaces

Ghosts fade with music. The banishment of stress, not to mention the complete erasure of the accompanying, all-consuming fear that rears its ugly head, is possible when listening to music. You can zone out and unwind, no matter the genre. Of

Electronic Observations: An Onslaught of EPs

First it was the piano EPs, now the electronic EPs; this has been the year of the short releases.  We received dozens of these in the first quarter, and here we highlight seven of the best. The advantage of waiting a

Michael Price ~ Entanglement

We first encountered Michael Price in late 2012 when reviewing his first solo EP. To recap: Price is a soundtrack composer with a startling body of work under his belt, all of which he has accrued since first being involved

Kit Wilmans Fegradoe ~ Issa

Our Easter review is a tribute to the lost years of Jesus, during which he purportedly traveled throughout the Middle East, studying other traditions and learning about the diversity of humanity.  This is all speculation, but it’s a compelling story,

Illuminine ~ #1

Big name connections are a double-edged sword; the associations can increase one’s success, or cause one to be judged by comparison.  The future of Illuminine will rise or fall on what one makes of these connections, as they are front and

Austin Glover & Eric Perreault ~ Freight 1110 Through Greensboro

How much of the Andrew Weathers Ensemble is Andrew Weathers, and how much is the ensemble?  As Austin Glover and Eric Perreault step out on their debut release, one can begin to discern the differences.  The harmonies and Petrels-like drones of

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek ~ Whorls

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek‘s third collaboration is also their first in four years.  The gap in time is clearly responsible for a shift in sound.  Whorls is as dynamic and exciting as Patina was soft and calm.  When the latter was released in 2011,

R. Weis ~ Parrot & Paperback

Few recordings are truly one of a kind.  We’d place Pawn’s Kitchen in this category, as well as One and Seven Eighth’s Modern Camping Songs.  Now joining this elite group is the latest EP from R. Weis, who over the past three decades has
