The Implicit Order ~ 1967

1967 is a walk down one man’s memory lane. A dark, tumultuous and heavily drug influenced walk. A compilation of recordings unearthed from Anthony Washburn’s twenty three year career at making music, rearranged, crushed and mixed with interludes (referred to

c. yantis ~ Box Elder, Cold Scholar

It’s easy enough to dismiss a drone record without giving it due care and attention. It’s designed to sound the same, argue the nay-sayers, there’s only so much variety an artist can put into the work. That argument is swiftly

Anoice ~ The Black Rain

Yoko Shinto’s cover illustration is incredibly beguiling: simultaneously dark and light, mysterious and accessible, a treasure trove of associations.  We see a weeping woman on a cliff, her tears mingling with the rain and the flood.  The broken land in

Nuojuva ~ Valot Kaukaa

Ous Mal is dead, came the announcement. So soon? We’d barely got to know each other and now, now, it’s all over? Perhaps some things were never meant to be… Or perhaps, Ous Mal was merely the first stage, for

A Death Cinematic ~ The New World

The New World begins with a clarion squall: a guitar that sounds like a trumpet, signaling the end of the old.  The sound brings to mind the walls of Jericho and the angel of Revelation.  After the clarion repeats and subsides,

Spheruleus ~ Dissolve

Many recordings are born of inspiration, but Dissolve was born of a lack of inspiration, which is not to say that it isn’t inspired.  This two-track outing from Harry Towell (Spheruleus) was birthed as severe writer’s block led him to imagine a richer physical environment

Pascal Savy ~ Receding

When is a piano EP not a piano EP?  When the piano is recorded, then partially removed, leaving an “empty shell” where the notes one shuddered.  The recording operates as a sonic illusion, as the notes heard are not fully there.

Celer ~ Evaporate and Wonder

Evaporate and Wonder is an ember of an ember, an echo of an echo, a ghost of a ghost, barely there yet fully present.  This slowly meditative pair of tracks has all the power of a leaf floating down a lazy
