Weerthof ~ Out of Control

Out of Control is a completely bonkers idea that works: a USB stick cooked into a bar of soap.  The concept is fun, the music is engaging and the soap makes a great show-and-tell item.  Netherlands artist Michiel van de Weerthof

Ulises Conti ~ Atlas

Argentinian composer Ulises Conti has been extremely active over the last decade, working in theatre, dance and film.  For fans, Atlas (2003-2013) is a wonderful compendium of his work to date; for newcomers, it’s a worthy introduction.  Japan’s Flau label may not have

The Bricoleur ~ First Matter

Charity compilations are, generally speaking, a good thing, particularly when less mainstream musicians contribute. It’s hard to argue against these projects, obviously, whoever is involved – the charity gets increased awareness of their work, as well as some much-needed funds,

LCNL 035: The Volume Settings Folder I This week’s mix comes from The Volume Settings Folder, and is hopefully the first of many.  TVSF began in 2011 as the solo project of Italian guitarist Möbelstück Beckmann, and this mix harkens

Bas van Huizen ~ Zwelg

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Netherlands composer Bas van Huizen. Zwelg marks a triumphant return after a period of silence.  While the milk of drone remains, the artist’s ambient tendencies have risen to the top like cream.  Zwelg may be

Cormac Faulkner ~ Topophilia

With a name like Cormac Faulkner, it’s no surprise that the Coventry artist displays a literary bent.  The rare lyrics found on Topophilia include a quote from Joyce and a song based on a centuries-old broadside.  Earlier this year, the artist teamed up

Pie Are Squared ~ A State of Unwavering Contempt

Psychotic inclinations are given unprecedented access and total control to the circuitry. The musical block is put into a state of lockdown. A vicious attack on the drone ensures warfare on a large scale. Violence is carved into the music,

Gabriel Saloman ~ Soldier’s Requiem

Is it coincidence or intention that Gabriel Saloman‘s last two albums have been released in November?  The sound of the former Yellow Swans artist is tailor-made for this time of year: dark, moody, conflicted.  In our last two reviews, we commented
