Insect Factory/Luciernaga ~ Split C-80
A while back we reviewed Insect Factory‘s Melodies from a Dead Radio, and now Baltimore’s Jeff Barsky has returned on a split C-80, sharing space with Brooklyn’s Luciernaga. The packaging is particularly nice: a reel-to-reel box that manages to come across as even

Lights Dim ~ Deep Summer
Lights Dim‘s Marek Kaminski is well known to many of our readers by sound, although perhaps not by name. He’s also part of the post-rock ensemble New Century Classics, whose classically-influenced recordings have set them well ahead of their peers.

Tan Frio el Verano ~ Primavera
So you’re a new post-rock band, looking to make a name for yourself in the digital world? As Jeff Probst (“Survivor”) says, “You better bring it!” And that’s exactly what Venezuela’s Tan Frio el Verano does. Strings and horns, drums and electronics, guitars and

Julia Holter ~ Ekstasis
In my review of Julianna Barwick’s A Magic Place for the now sadly gone The Silent Ballet (a moment of silence, please), I concluded with a rather misinformed opinion on female vocalists and how there are very few of them

Dentistry ~ Vardøgr
Almost a year has passed since the last Forwind release, so it’s a pleasure to welcome the digital label back to the “virtual shelves”. Vardøgr is a fine re-entry, a moody five-part voyage that sets sail softly before drifting into murky

Hills! Werewolves! Run! ~ 3
Hills! Werewolves! Run! is a great name for a band, one that demands attention and practically guarantees excitement. Two of the tracks on the British band’s third album sound like the name; the other two are more sedate. Each track relies

Joe Stevens & Luís Antero ~ Seaside Sounds
After hearing so many field recordings in which plane sounds are an intrusion, it’s nice to hear one in which they are a subject – in this instance, the biplanes flying over attendees of Dorset’s “Weymouth Carnival”. Joe Stevens’ contribution to Seaside Sounds makes for
