EUS, Postdrome & Saåad ~ Different Streams

The opening, shredded melody that lets us into Different Streams is at once transcendent and slightly disturbing, like a trippy hallucination that lasts a little longer than it should’ve done. It is a threat that never really goes away. A drone

Kammerflimmer Kollektief ~ Désarroi

Few artists ever reach the milestone of a 10th album, but Kammerflimmer Kollektief has just joined this elite group.  Even rarer is the act whose 10th album comes across as something strange and new, wild and enigmatic, sending off sparks rather than
