Lost Trail/Native Prairie ~ Intersecting Lines of Power/Native Prairie
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when fronted by Lost Trail’s split opener “O’ Black And Fallen Smokestacks, Rise!”? GY!BE and spin off A Silver Mt. Zion? Post-Rock? Sparrows Swarm and Sing!’s O’Shenodah Mighty Death Will Find Me?

Charlemagne Palestine & Janek Schaefer ~ Day of the Demons

Julia Holter ~ Ekstasis
In my review of Julianna Barwick’s A Magic Place for the now sadly gone The Silent Ballet (a moment of silence, please), I concluded with a rather misinformed opinion on female vocalists and how there are very few of them

Pie Are Squared ~ Three Quarter Moon / Memories et Cetera
The new album from Mohammed Ashraf’s long-running Pie Are Squared project initially trades the maximal blips and beats of his past work for a more gentle, lulling approach. For those familiar with Pie’s output, it’s a surprising departure, though not

When the bulk of an artist’s releases consists of single track 20+ minute exercises in gentle layering of drones and soundscapes, an album of ten separate songs averaging at a little under four minutes each – the norm for most
