Utu Lautturi ~ Nielu

Two years ago, we had the privilege of reviewing Utu Lautturi‘s debut EP, Korpinkorva.  The Finnish artist has just completed his first full-length album, and we find it astonishingly powerful ~ so we’ve included a video premiere and interview as well!

Peals ~ Seltzer

Peals has never sounded like the work of two bass players (Future Islands’ William Cashion and Double Dagger’s Bruce Willen).  2013 debut Walking Field demonstrated a wide variety of influences, from ambient to surf rock, while showcasing the talents of cellist Kate
