PYUR ~ Oratorio for the Underworld
With Oratorio for the Underworld, Sophie Schell (PYUR) surpasses the high expectations created by 2016’s Epoch Sinus. Even more, she surpasses all expectations for an album, period. Listening again to her debut LP, one can hear the roots of what would eventually become trees,

A Winged Victory for the Sullen ~ The Undivided Five
Everyone listens to instrumental music. In developed countries, most people listen every day. A much smaller number tries to figure out who they are hearing in films, on TV and online; and an even smaller number follows these artists. A Winged Victory
