Bennemann, Blasco, Caeldries, Effenberg, Harding, Hoebreckx, Ivanova, Le Du & Watson ~ The Memory Room
The album begins with a tweet ~ what we might call a “classic” or “original” tweet, before the name was co-opted by humans. This contrast is a metaphor for our relationship with the environment, underlining the danger of giving our

Per Störby Jutbring ~ The Thief Bunny Society
The Thief Bunny Society is a very solid album, although not as quirky as its cover and lead video suggest. In the artist’s video we see the handwriting of a child, followed by the first of many bunnies ~ then a

Matana Roberts ~ COIN COIN Chapter Four: Memphis
COIN COIN Chapter Four: Memphis is essential listening. It screams the past to the present, echoing Spike Lee’s cry at the end of Do the Right Thing: “Wake up!” We still haven’t woken up. We still haven’t faced the sins of our ancestors,

Dino Spiluttini ~ Heaven
Heaven may be called “contemporary church music,” but only the most contemporary of churches might consider hosting such music ~ and that’s a shame. In recent years, congregations with limited budgets have begun sharing spaces with the arts, to sublime effect.

Christopher Tignor ~ A Light Below
Wow. We’ve been enjoying the music of Christopher Tignor for 15 years, beginning with that first Slow Six album, on through Wires of Tension and finally to his solo work. We’re not surprised that A Light Below is great; we’re surprised that it’s his best

ironomi ~ 琹の葉 kotonoha
In Japan, the leaves are falling, but Down Under, spring has just begun. We recommend kotonoha to our Aussie friends, as the timbre fits. ironoma extends the season with lush green imagery and lovely jade vinyl, calling the album a “Japanese midsummer saunter

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
