A Winged Victory for the Sullen ~ Atomos

Second albums may often be ‘difficult’, but sometimes artists under the unprecedented pressures of time and expectation will take flight. For Dustin O’Halloran and Adam Wiltzie, the situation was slightly different. Two years after the release of their critically acclaimed

Wyrok ~ Wireframe

In rockier days, the foremost album that piqued my interest in truly experimental ‘alternative’ music was the sole LP of a little-known UK band, Miocene, called A Perfect Life with a View of the Swamp. It was unapologetic in simply

Sean Hayward ~ Nowhere Found

The somewhat oxymoronic title of this debut album from guitarist and composer Sean Hayward makes more sense after a first listen. The nine pieces on Nowhere Found transport the listener across much of the globe, in a far-reaching sonic exploration
