Jilk ~ Endless Rushing Waves of the Same
In 2017, Jilk left fans with the encouraging phrase, “Everything is going to be okay.” The world situation has changed a lot since then, making repetitions of the sentiment even more crucial. The new release may be instrumental, but its

Saga Aava ~ Darkness
“I want to get my life back,” repeats an anonymous narrator on “۷.Sju,” the concluding track of Brooklyn artist Saga Aava‘s debut EP. The sentiment is echoed around the world. As we remain in a holding pattern, we fall prey to

Shelf Nunny ~ Utangátta
Utangátta holds up a mirror to our times, to that extent that one might suspect the presence of an intervening hand. Shelf Nunny recorded the album after a period in which he struggled financially, lost many people close to him, and plodded

Ben Lukas Boysen ~ Mirage
“On Mirage, I’m trying to hide the human,” writes Ben Lukas Boysen, making his new album a challenging form of hide and seek. We’re aware of the collaborators, which include Anne Müller and Daniel Thorne, but must strain to find them. And while

Wolfhand ~ The Devil Arrives
We love the instrumental spaghetti western doom genre, although few releases qualify. Wolfhand‘s new album is an exemplar. The band cites Earth, Dirty Three and Barn Owl as references; we detect hints of Murder By Death and Red Dead Redemption.

Field Works ~ Ultrasonic
Bats are not very popular right now. They’ve received an inordinate amount of blame for the coronavirus, which was not their fault; and as a result, we feel kind of sorry for them. Thankfully, we’re able to make up for

Glass Museum ~ Reykjavik
Our first taste of Reykjavik was the peach-toned music video for “Abyss,” which is directed by Lucas Ruyssen and features the heartfelt dancing of Sofia Moreira. At first, there is only piano, a quiet kneeling, a drawing in of cloth; but

Bungalovv ~ Donde Hubo Fuego
Donde Hubo Fuego (Where There Was Fire) is a perfect name for this release. The album seems drenched in flame, a sly and sinuous creature. The tone is dark and deep from its very first note, and seldom lightens. Only seconds
