Birds of a Feather: Final Flight

Mike Weis ~ Don’t Know, Just Walk

Don’t Know, Just Walk is the aural reflection of a spiritual struggle.  The title refers to a Zen practice of clearing the mind, a technique Mike Weis applied to his recent struggle with prostate cancer.  This is no simple practice, yet those who

Tarab ~ I’m Lost

This album is comprised of field recordings, but don’t expect to hear field recordings; they’ve been chopped up, rearranged, amplified, and skipped like flat stones across a glass surface.  At one point the speakers spew the ugly sound of a busted CD;

The latest album from Smileswithteeth (Gabriel Gutierrez) represents a new breed of positive, sample-based hip-hop.  This sub-genre (which includes Snuise, Zebrat, bmbu, Fold, Department and nahsolo, among others) is sunny, upbeat, and in most of the world, just in time

Jon Carolino ~ Ruins

A few months ago, we reviewed Jon Carolino‘s Woven, which was written while his daughter Isabella Faith was growing in the womb.  After her death, the EP became a testimony to her short life.  Ruins is the story of grief. How does one
