Meitei ~ Komachi
We last reviewed Hiroshima’s Meitei in our 2018 article, Music for Haunted Houses. The new album preserves the nostalgia while replacing ghosts with memories. Komachi is a work of unique beauty, a time-spanning mix of influences old and new, a celebration of the

Old Solar ~ SEE
We can’t remember the last time we heard three great post-rock albums this early in the year. MONO set the bar high, but now we have California’s Wander and North Carolina’s Old Solar to add to our list. We’re overdue, as in

Bernard Rands ~ Chains Like the Sea
We love a unified thematic release. Chains Like the Sea places its planets in alignment. Robert Henry Harrison‘s cover art is the entry point. This oil painting, Dylan Thomas Boathouse, is angular yet measured, a taming of wave and architecture, a fluid representation

Žibuoklė Martinaitytė ~ In Search of Lost Beauty …
The latest work from New York-based Lithuanian composer Žibuoklė Martinaitytė is a gorgeous, slowly-building suite that invites listeners to lose track of time. The tracks range from a minute to a quarter hour, but the transitions are virtually invisible: segues

Blair Coron ~ On the Nature of Things
Blair Coron‘s full-length debut refuses to stay in the background. A trio of dynamic shifts make the listener sit up and take notice. The first is that the opening track is first softer, then louder than one might expect. The

Wander ~ March
We first reviewed Pinoy post-rockers Wander back in 2014 when we went on a Post-Rock Road Trip. Back then, the drummer was only 18, but we were incredibly impressed, especially by the long title track “Mourning.” We’re pleased to say that the

There’s an easy way for instrumental acts to publicize their message, so easy it’s amazing so few think of it: put the message on the cover. This way, even a digital downloader will see the words. Congratulations to Gabriel Gutierrez
