Busto Power Trio ~ The Deal
When listening to The Deal, the debut set from London noir surfers Busto Power Trio, one can’t help but think of Gru, the protagonist of Despicable Me. There’s that finger-snapping jaunt (“Negotiating”), a sunglass tint to the music, and an overall atmosphere of

Fernando Visockis ~ Gopchang Leftovers
An unusual album from Kotä Records, Gopchang Leftovers incorporates multiple styles and focuses on none. The album was conceived during a residency in Seoul, but even that doesn’t explain the diversity on display. Until one listens all the way through, one cannot

P Jørgensen ~ Gold Beach
P Jørgensen‘s latest effort represents a shift in sound from the Danish composer. We’ve grown to expect an ambient blend of electronics from the artist, but here we encounter organic instrumentation, resembling a small orchestra. Whether this is the sign
