signalsundertests ~ Nascent

Laura Cannell & Rhodri Davies ~ Feathered Swing of the Raven
Recorder and harp is not a combination we’ve previously encountered, so it might be fair to say that this is the best recorder and harp album we’ve ever heard. But it would also be fair to say that this is

Un Silencio Blanco ~ Las Cosas Cansadas
Only two songs strong, the second release from Colombia’s Un Silencio Blanco is very much a study in contrasts; or, if you prefer, a record of two halves. Both are worthy of your time, although it is the Caretaker-esque ambient

Gideon Wolf ~ Paper
Paper, the debut full-length release from London’s Gideon Wolf, opens subtly, with a bare, crisp piano hovering in a cloud of stark, minor key notes. You may think you have a clear idea where the piece is headed, but around

The Green Kingdom ~ Incidental Music
Incidental Music is one of the most relaxing albums we’ve heard in a while, inspiring a state of alert calm. This is the entire point of incidental music: the sounds used in movies to accompany important, less obvious scenes. These pieces
