Corder Ritger Yantis ~ Possession

Possession injects some venom into Valentine’s Day. February 14 is usually a time for lovers, but what if that love turns sour, toxic and highly poisonous a week or so before the special day? The tunnel of love used to be

Nickolas Mohanna ~ Phase Line

Nickolas Mohanna has operated in many fields, from drone to modern composition, but Phase Line is his wildest work to date.  The album began as a sound installation, and includes the angular, manipulated output of “electronic billboards, kiosk stations and traffic control devices”.

Natasha Barrett ~ Peat+Polymer

This one has it all: intercontinental field recordings, sledding children, vocal manipulations, soundscapes, excursions in drone.  Natasha Barrett has been called “Norway’s most prominent composer of electro-acoustic music,” and on the basis of this double disc, she’s earned it.  Peat+Polymer isn’t just

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma ~ A Year With 13 Moons
