Crimson Mourn ~ Bring Your Desires Here
Crimson Mourn is only 18 years old, but 18 is not too young to produce quality music. Bring Your Desires Here is already the artist’s second album, and its best parts are better than much of the post-rock on the market.

Last Step ~ Sleep
For most people, there are few things better than a decent sleep – insomniacs please look away now. The number of slang terms for the activity alone suggests that many of us regard it as not merely a necessity but

Talvihorros | Damian Valles ~ Monuments and Ruins
The wonderful Textura label produces few releases; the last was Mains de Givre’s Esther Marie in 2010. Every disc is a labor of love, and Monuments and Ruins is no exception. The album provides a platform for the work of two highly-regarded artists, whose

Black Eagle Child ~ Go Around, Again
Reviewers can be a funny bunch. We’re not omniscient but there are times when we pretend to be. For example, there’s nothing like writing ‘This album is good, but it doesn’t compare to the B-side of their second single which

EUS, Postdrome & Saåad ~ Sustained Layers
There’s a lot of good music being released these days on limited edition cassette, and Sustained Layers is among the best. The physical-digital divide is fully exposed when a recording as solid as this receives a press run of only 66; after

Pietro Riparbelli ~ Three Days of Silence
The monastic life remains inscrutable to those outside the conclaves. No matter how many films or books cover the subject, the internal, contemplative path can only be experienced through participation. In an effort to understand the isolated, yet strangely communal
