Sontag Shogun, Stijn Hüwels ~ The Floating World & The Sorrowful World
The Floating World & The Sorrowful World was always meant as a diptych, but for nearly a year the two tracks were cut off from one another, set adrift, seeking the balance of their complementary twin. Ironically, this temporary excision adds

Yppah ~ Sunset in the Deep End
Sometimes genres die too quickly, leaving their fans stranded. After a deluge of releases in a short period of time, the flow slows to a trickle. (When’s the last time you heard a great new new wave song?) Once in

Long Arm ~ Silent Opera
Silent Opera seems tailor-made for a dance company. Through allusion and allegory, Long Arm presents a wide-angle story whose message is revealed through a voiceover in the closing minutes: “Choose life before it’s too late.” Stating one’s concept with a speech, however short,

Sign Libra ~ Sea to Sea
The docking point of Sea to Sea is the exuberant video for “Sea of Islands,” in which Sign Libra makes a case for being the most cheerful performer of the year. Her contagious joy lights up the room, and we wonder ~ is this

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Tlamess (Sortilège)
Oiseaux-Tempête returns to its instrumental strength with Tlamess (Sortilège), the score to a Tunisian film about a soldier who leaves the war upon learning of his mother’s death. Directed by Ala Eddine Slim, the film has been making the festival rounds

Sonoscopia ~ Disposofónicos
Disposofónicos is a massive project, the culmination of many years of work. This box set includes four CDs, one LP and a vinyl-sized, 120-page hardback book. There’s a lot to sort through, but it’s worth it; the discs have a high

Aho Ssan ~ Simulacrum
As one might guess from the artist’s untranslatable moniker, Simulacrum is a highly unusual album. Aho Ssan (Désiré Niamké) grew up black in a French suburb, and his music is a commentary on discrimination and displacement. It’s not a friendly set; the textures

Olivia Louvel ~ SculptOr
Olivia Louvel‘s first album explored the relationship between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots; her second celebrates British sculptor Barbara Hepworth. These works share a colorful tone that tempers their didactic background, calling attention not only to the acts
