Ef ~ Delusions of Grandeur

After six years, it’s safe to say that Gothenburg’s Ef has proven to be the rare post-rock band with staying power.  They’ve done so by creating a distinct sound that at one time was a blend of Efterklang and Sigur Rós, but

Atay Ilgun & Alper Yildirim ~ Aokigahara, The Black Sea of Trees

This is the first appearance on our site for Wounded Wolf Press, a small Turkish imprint that releases lovely handmade music wrapped in folded prints.  It’s also a perfect example of why our site exists.  If we had never founded

The Average By Six ~ Polaroids

Radio frequencies swirl in a daze of shoreline static. Sitting on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time, a boat kisses the undulating ocean’s moist lips. Lo-fi waves reflect off a shortwave signal, sent back along invisible IV lines linking countless
