Minor Pieces ~ The Heavy Steps of Dreaming
Ian William Craig is a perennial presence in our year-end charts. His gorgeous, operatic voice, fed through layers of tape decay, is instantly recognizable. But until this point, he’s always sounded a bit lonely. All of this changes on The Heavy Steps

Dominik Eulberg ~ Mannigfaltig
In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer laments the fact that climate change, despite the incredible threat, is also incredibly boring to talk about. Species die, coastlands disappear, and our eyes are riveted to scenes of rescue; but then the

We Lost The Sea ~ Triumph & Disaster
The world is ending. We all know it. While writing this review, I learned that the American president had just allowed corporations to pollute water again. After all, who needs clean water? Who needs animals (save for those that taste

Ed Carlsen ~ Morning Hour
Morning Hour is a fun and fascinating album. Multi-instrumentalist Ed Carlsen uses the form of modern composition, yet nearly every track blooms into beat-driven, electronic timbres. Then just as one is prepared to call it an electronic set, the piano makes

Plïnkï Plønkï ~ Pangur Din
Plïnkï Plønkï “tries to create songs that sound like memories,” and on Pangur Din, they succeed. The new album is as restful as an album can be without causing drowsiness; it’s like the warm blur of a first drink. The tape is

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
