Less Bells ~ Solifuge
Solifuge is a sweet surprise, a debut album that seems to emerge out of nowhere and makes an instant impact. During its live debut at a sunset concert in Joshua Tree, California, Less Bells (Julia Carpenter and friends) was paired with a stop-motion

Forma ~ Semblance
Peter Burr’s cover is a perfect reflection of the music: man and machine, improvisation and code. In visual terms, this is a stark departure from the prog look of 2016’s Physicalist, although half of those tracks would feel at home here.

Christina Vantzou ~ No. 4
How do you loosen time? Many consider time to be rigid and inescapable, but it is not. Much of the world just ‘lost’ an hour by welcoming spring with Daylight Saving Time. Take a long-haul flight, and time becomes elastic.

Dedekind Cut ~ Tahoe
OK, the tag at the top of the page says ‘Ambient’ and the label is Kranky but don’t put Tahoe on expecting to be borne aloft on clouds of ambient fluffiness for an hour. Dedekind Cut’s new album is an

High Plains ~ Cinderland
Cinderland was recorded in a cold Wisconsin winter and reflects the barren landscape, the wide open spaces, and the interminable passage of time. The sound is sparse, measured, and deep, a melding of Mark Bridges’ cello and the contributions of Scott

ACL 2015: Top Ten Electronic
When looking at this year’s staff selections in the Electronic category, I am struck by one glaring fact: none of these selections are typical. There’s no straight-up house, techno or club music here, although we do cover such genres. This may

ACL 2014: Top Ten Modern Composition
Listening again to these albums, we’re reminded of the aching beauty that graces modern composition. From “Atomos VII” to “going backwards to recover what was left behind”, from “The Musk Ox” to “pino” to “you are not alone, dear wolf”,
