Errorgrid ~ Gridworks 1: Tension/Release
L.A.’s Errorgrid label has been on a tear this year, already releasing two albums, a remix EP and now a label compilation. The instrumental side of industrial / IDM has been underserved in recent years, shoved aside by its more obvious cousin

Mogwai ~ As the Love Continues
Exactly 25 years after the release of their first double-A single, Mogwai returns with their tenth album. In this industry, that’s quite an achievement. Even more impressive is the feeling that the Glasgow band may actually be getting better with age. At

James Osland ~ Almond Drive
Almond Drive is dedicated to memories of a “safe and loving home,” and the people who made it that way. The album is a panacea, offering warm hints of how to make it through a pandemic year with love. Not everyone

Camera ~ Prosthuman
Camera‘s propulsive Prosthuman is a krautrock explosion, bound to get the feet moving to the dance floors or whatever counts as a dance floor these days (bedroom floor, garage). This marks the beginning of the band’s second decade, including a lineup shift,

Drifts and Flurries ~ A Second Language Collectanea
Few pairings are as exquisite as winter music and snow; Drifts & Flurries provides one in hope of the other. Distinctly British in tone, this set begs to be accompanied by a good book; we recommend The Wrong Kind of Snow (Penn

Aaron Cupples ~ Island of the Hungry Ghosts OST
Island of the Hungry Ghosts is a dark, three-tiered film. Billed as a “hybrid documentary,” the film receives a hybrid score, with music from Aaron Cupples and field recordings from Leo Dolgan. The sound design is cinematic even without the visuals, producing the mental

Animated Matter ~ Selkie
The concept album is a much-maligned tradition, but only because too many artists go overboard. Selkie is a concept album done right, with a simple premise based on a well known legend. From Scottish and Irish mythology to movies such as

Francisco López ~ Two-Headed Snake
Until recently, sound artist Francisco López has been known for his hundreds of solo releases; that’s about to change with the digital debut of label Two-Headed Snake. Each album pairs López with a second artist (the two-headed snake), and offers two tracks,
