Touch: Isolation

The Touch: Isolation project is one of the best things to emerge from lockdown.  The project began as a means of providing income to furloughed musicians, but quickly developed into a real-time reflection on the COVID-19 crisis.  The first phase is now

Coen Oscar Polack ~ Haarlemmerhout

One of the small joys of quarantine has been the daily legal walk.  In my area, this means heading north past deserted shops, south to the bay or east to a series of small parks.  Coen Oscar Polack‘s latest excursion

Iszlai ~ Jazzamped

We have a soft spot in our hearts for bouncy, happy, intelligent releases, and Jazzamped is one of them. While jazz is indeed one of the flavors, Iszlai‘s music is better categorized as sample-based, head-nodding instrumental hip-hop.  A wide variety of instruments and

Cities and Memory ~ #StayHomeSounds (volume 1)

Jeremy Bible ~ Human Savagery

We first mentioned Human Savagery back in January 2017; since then the film has been making the festival rounds to universal acclaim.  This year the score has finally been released, and what a time to do so!  The themes of environmental degradation

Inventions ~ Continuous Portrait

Continuous Portrait is the sonic version of recessive genes.  This is not the type of album one might expect from an ambient artist (Matthew Cooper) and part of a post-rock band (Explosions in the Sky’s Mark T. Smith). But it makes
