Human Ottoman ~ Power Baby
Electric cello, vibraphone and drums: this original set-up yields a sound that bridges the gap between post-rock and modern composition. The trio’s timbre is fresh and distinctive; after hearing the album, one would be able to recognize their notes at

Wyrok ~ Wireframe
In rockier days, the foremost album that piqued my interest in truly experimental ‘alternative’ music was the sole LP of a little-known UK band, Miocene, called A Perfect Life with a View of the Swamp. It was unapologetic in simply

Old Amica ~ Drone and Hum
All too often, instrumental bands become vocal bands. But on this EP, a vocal duo has become an instrumental duo. Separating by 649km, these Swedes had already recorded four internet collaborations. It was time for them to try recording in

Gidge ~ Autumn Bells
What better way to celebrate the first day of autumn than with the release of an upbeat, autumn-themed album? Autumn Bells looks forward rather than back, making us miss the summer a little less. The timing – both physical and emotional

Hammock ~ The Sleepover Series, Volume Two
Nearly a decade has passed since The Sleepover Series, Volume One. While it may be one of the lesser-known works in Hammock‘s canon, it’s one of the most important. The project was inspired by Marc Byrd’s bouts with depression, and led

Lost Trail ~ The Afternoon Vision
The third of Wist Records’ jackdaw releases, The Afternoon Vision is yet another example of attentive packaging given to a splendid release. It’s also one of Lost Trail‘s kindest recordings to date. One might even call it – yes, pun intended – wistful.

Hein Schoer ~ The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures
The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures is perhaps Gruenrekorder’s most elaborate production to date: a CD, audio DVD, DVD-ROM and softbound 419-page book, all enclosed in a black cardboard sleeve. It takes an entire day to peruse, but one would not

Louis Sarno ~ Song from the Forest
Listening to Song from the Forest, many older readers will think of the famous French duo Deep Forest. The duo helped increase interest in world music in the early nineties, but they also did the genre a slight disservice, creating an unfair
