Linear Bells ~ An Island

If one wrote a manual for the ambient musician, it would probably contain an appendix listing words and images to steer clear of, if only because their over-use has toppled into cliché. The words ‘bells’ and ‘island’ would probably be

Vopat ~ Turbide

Before Sujo there was Vopat, a post-rock endeavor from Ryan Huber that exuded hints of the monstrous drone project that was to come.  It’s been a while since the former beast reared its not-so-ugly head. Turbide is a celebration of that sound: rediscovered

Listening Mirror ~ The Clearing / My Hiding Place

This new single by Listening Mirror starts out in similar fashion to countless other ambient/drone tracks with a low-key hum, but it soon ramps up the atmosphere and rather than being blasé about more ambience, one is suddenly beguiled. The

Antoine Chessex ~ Dust

Sometimes we miss something at ACL.  Not too often, and not for long.  And we are very strict with our rules.  So despite dozens of submissions from 2011, this is only the second we’ve accepted.  The reasons: Dust is exceptional, and it hasn’t

Marie e le rose ~ Changes

Marie e le rose (Tuscan artist Rosa Marie Sarri) has written and produced a rather eclectic 5-track EP, calling on various traditions to present a unique but not uniform production.  The pleasure is in hearing what she’ll do next; the drawback

AJ Nutter ~ The Birds

Bodega Bay was the idyllic, at peace and unruffled slice of Californian life seen in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1963 motion picture, The Birds. The west coast harbour town appeared to be nested safely from any kind of violence, until it,

The Velocity Raptors ~ I, Donna

The Velocity Raptors is a clever name for this new band, who subverts post-rock expectations by retaining the dinosaur association (slow, lumbering) and merging it with brevity and speed.  As people continue to debate the future of post-rock (dead, alive, thriving,

S ND Y P RL RS ~ Rex

Rex roars into life on swells of distorted ferocity. As the seconds pass, it becomes clearer and clearer that the music of S ND Y P RL RS (Sunday Parlours) is not just void of vowels that have been visibly erased; the music
