Marcus Fjellström ~ Exercises in Estrangement / Gebrauchsmusik
Exercises in Estrangement and Gebrauchsmusik were Marcus Fjellström‘s first two albums, originally released on Lampse in 2005 and 2006. Listening to them now, in pristine new editions from Miasmah, it’s remarkable to consider how contemporary ~ even futuristic ~ they

Max de Wardener ~ Kolmar
The music of Max de Wardener is impossible to pin down, as he gallops between instruments and styles. This makes Kolmar an intriguing listen, with enough ideas for two releases; and it could be argued that it should be two, as the differences are so delineated.

Floating Spectrum ~ A Point Between
A Point Between is a perfect example of intermingling disciplines. Abe Pazos’ remarkable cover draws us in, creating intrigue before a single note is played. The music of Floating Spectrum (Mei-Fang Liau) sounds exactly like the art, or vice versa: swirling, generative, open

A-Sun Amissa ~ For Burdened and Bright Light
Gizeh Records founder Richard Knox is continually expanding his sonic horizons. His participation in multiple collectives allows him to change masks and look at the world in different ways. Even with A-Sun Amissa, he’s produced quieter works than this. For Burdened

Dan Friel ~ Fanfare
On Dan Friel‘s Fanfare, everything goes up to eleven. The synths are distorted, the drums are crunchy, the guitars are fuzzed and the recording levels are pushed into the red. Now add horns. Thanks to members of Sunwatchers (Jeff Tobias), Grasshopper (Jesse

Alaskan Tapes ~ Views From Sixteen Stories
I’m pretty excited about the t-shirt I just ordered from Alaskan Tapes. It’s a perfect match for the fall, when birds begin to migrate lugubriously, starting their long journey from Toronto (the home of Brady Kendall) to parts south. The same

Manu Delago ~ Circadian
Last year, Manu Delago and friends scored multiple accolades at A Closer Listen, thanks to an audacious (some may say foolhardy) plan to hike into the Alps to record an album. The sonic and visual results were sublime. Less than a year

Clarice Jensen ~ Drone Studies
At first, one may be surprised at the genre of cellist Clarice Jensen‘s latest release. The artistic director of ACME is known for her work with Jóhann Jóhannsson, among others. So how did she end up making a drone album? The
