Jakob Lindhagen, Vargkvint, Boris Rogowski ~ a cottage at the end of the road

Late last winter, three musicians drove to the end of a narrow, unlit road in a Swedish forest, where they found a desolate, snow-covered cabin.  They unpacked their instruments, stumbled through the darkness, and were never heard from again.  Just

Magda Drozd ~ Divided by Dusk

Divided by Dusk is a mysterious, otherworldly album that sounds like a folktale and feels like walking into the forest just as the sun is setting, not knowing what wonders may await.  Will one encounter enchanting creatures, gypsy caravans, a traveling

As the situation in Ukraine grows increasingly dire, music from this region continues to be both vital and indispensable.  In only a couple weeks, Gianmarco Del Re will mark the previously inconceivable fourth anniversary of the invasion in the sombre Ukrainian Field

Chris Watson ~ Planet Ocean

When writing of the evocative Planet Ocean, Chris Watson references the first color photographs taken of Earth from space.  These images revealed a blue planet, whose surface was 70% water.  Sixty years later, Watson hopes that sound will accomplish what sight did

Exarcheia – Εξάρχεια may be rooted in an Athens residency, but the cassette represents a “geography without borders,” with field recordings captured in Athens, Strasbourg and Gdańsk, including a street protest in solidarity with the Bengali July Revolution. Cellist Stéphane Clor also

Rodent ~ Night of Return

Night of Return is a departure of sorts for Ceremony of Seasons and their solstice-themed roster.  First, the cassette is scary, less like gently falling snow than the feeling of being snowboard and stir-crazy, wondering if one is hallucinating while branches scrape
