David Andree + Josh Mason ~ Call, Response
When an album is released on New Year’s Day, is it too early to speculate that it might make a year-end list? Perhaps ~ but we know what we enjoy, and Call, Response is yet another winner from Own Records. Arriving only

ACL 2013: Top Ten Drone
In a classroom, a drone is a nuisance, but in music, it’s an attraction. These artists know that drone is more than sustained sound; it’s texture, movement and tone. Songs hum like appliances, grind like motors & clank like factories.

ACL 2013: Top Ten Ambient
Ambient music continued to stretch its wings in 2013. Among our top picks: an album conceived as a love letter, an EP addressing mental illness and a 7″ vinyl that samples the original Dracula. It’s not just piano and birds anymore.

Pausal ~ Sky Margin
Halos are shy to be seen. On the surface, there aren’t that many. Above, though, comes the sound of angel song. Shining with a brilliant, angelic light, the music of Pausal is a scarlet, spectral aura that has transcended its original

Jared Smith ~ Fjall
As might be intuited from the title, much of Fjall was recorded in Reykjavik, with tender textures added from Tallahassee. (Okay, that last part might be a surprise.) On this album, Jared Smith continues to contribute the homespun weavings that made last year’s Home,
