Glacis ~ The World Is A Little Lonelier Without You

The last album from Glacis (Euan Alexander Millar-McMeekan) sounded like a breakup; this one is inspired by a death.  The artist’s father Sandy lost his battle with emphysema in 2011, and this set attempts to capture the emotions of the following week,

Hummingbird ~ Glade

Six years ago, I reviewed Our Fearful Symmetry, a gorgeous album by a mysterious ambient artist called Hummingbird.  I led an exhaustive search to discover who the artist might be, and came so close that I named some of the artist’s

ACL 2015: The Year’s Best Album Covers

Album art can draw listeners to music, or push them away.  The best album art enhances the overall presentation, while the worst detracts from it.  In some cases, we’ve reviewed albums because of the art, while in others we’ve declined.

Phil Tomsett ~ Broken Memory Machine

It’s great to have Fluid Audio back in business after a short layoff.  Their physical products have always been creatively packaged, typically a collection of prints and flowers, and they smell lovely.  Their only drawback is their finite nature; one

ACL 2013: Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz
