David Velez ~ Sonido Descompuesto
While the Mystery Sea label is about water, offshoot Unfathomless is about place. And while David Velez‘ recordings have also concentrated on water, Sonido Descompuesto (Decomposed Sound) takes place on Las Margaritas, his aunt and uncle’s Columbian farm. So while the recording

Konntinent ~ Kiruna

Machinefabriek ~ Colour Tones
Can you see the colour you are listening to? Shoots of static seek shelter from the burgeoning earth. The frost is cracking, crunching, clutching. This is the risk the plant takes: to rise, to spill forth, to extend a fair

Buzz Gravelle ~ Original Compositions for Guitar and Mandolin
Most of us play, or at least know someone who plays, the acoustic guitar. It’s the go-to weapon of choice for buskers, folkies, campfire singers, and, well, pretty much anyone who wants a flexible, portable instrument. So when an album

Makunouchi Bento ~ Rinbo
This unassuming little release is one of the most original recordings of the year, a follow-up to 2010’s highly eclectic Swimé. Rinbo is no less eclectic, but is far more accessible, and has a great starting point: the stories of four Japanese

Silencio ~ When I’m Gone
There is a suggestion – possibly a theory although I’ve not heard it given a name – that music waits for the right moment to arrive. Sometimes, inspiration is instant and the song flows into the ether from… wherever it
