The Shaking Sensations ~ How Are We to Fight the Blight?
Six and a half years have passed since Start Stop Worrying, and wow, has this Copenhagen band made progress. We liked them then and we like them even better now. The quintet’s secret weapon (a double serving of drums!) is in

Bruno Bavota ~ Get Lost
Romantic composer Bruno Bavota continues to evolve on his latest album. We have always known the pianist as a warm, happy individual, seemingly untouched by the world. But recent societal shifts have grown so bad they have affected his outlook. And if

Minor Pieces ~ The Heavy Steps of Dreaming
