Gonçalo F. Cardoso ~ Impressões de Várias Ilhas
Imagine you are on an island: an imaginary island comprised of pieces of all the islands you’ve visited and dreamt of visiting. This is the vision created by Impressões de Várias Ilhas, the third is a triptych of island-themed albums

unitrΔ_Δudio ~ summer somewhere
On a record-breaking 106F/41C afternoon this June, I walked by Carvel Ice Cream and saw something that looked like this album cover: a dairy product that had just given up. Fortunately, no real ice cream cones were harmed in unitrΔ_Δudio‘s

Glacier ~ More Distant/More Violent
Last year we reviewed A Distant, Violent Shudder, a sludgy behemoth of an album that we compared to a glacier cleaving and falling into the sea. This year the Boston quintet returns with the sequel-minded More Distant/More Violent, featuring one new

Hammock ~ Nevertheless
Nevertheless is a word that Marc Byrd, half of Hammock along with Andrew Thompson, grew accustomed to hearing at funerals in the Deep South. “A loved one is gone. Nevertheless …” The word was meant to convey reflection, recalibration, a pause between

Ranges ~ Sin
What’s in the box? Not, as one might reasonably expect from the concept, Gwyneth Paltrow’s head. Instead, a lucky 77 will receive 7 7″ records and 37 will also receive 7 pieces of ephemera: a shot glass, cigar, matches, poker
