Drum & Lace ~ semi songs
People don’t like to be put in boxes, yet categorization is essential for understanding. For example, we’ve placed this album in Modern Composition, zeroing in on its dominant element. Drum & Lace (Sofia Hultquist) would likely prefer Other, although that’s not

Danny Scott Lane ~ How to Empty a Cup
This statement may seem strange, but How to Empty a Cup is really, really ambient. By this we mean that the music is quintessential ambience, featuring flute and other soft instrumentation. The tone is as delicate as a sugar wafer. Children

Michael Potter ~ Rain Song
Don’t judge this tape by its cover; the music is much more placid than the art indicates. Some may make a connection to King Ghidorah, also identified as the beast from Revelation; but this is more about rain than the

GIL ~ Infolding
Three years removed from Orchids & Wasps, Berlin’s GIL has returned with a more refined sound. Where the previous EP was hyperactive, the new EP is merely energetic; where the previous EP was sparse, the new EP is dense. There’s a place for

Black to Comm ~ Before After

Otto Solange ~ шон
If a turntablist album were to marry a hauntology album, the child might sound something like шон (Poles). This is the previously hidden side of an artist normally known for making ambient-minded music under another name. There’s a hint of Endtroducing

Ecovillage ~ Hold My Hand
After six albums, Emil Holmstrom and Peter Wikstrom (Ecovillage) feel that they have finally achieved the sound they have always sought. “In some sense,” they write, “it’s our first (album).” A trip around Southeast Asia was incredibly inspiring, as reflected

Heron ~ Sun Release
Sun Release is a perfect summer album, sonically, visually and thematically. Over the past four months, while we’ve waited for the season to begin, we’ve been warmed by a trio of singles, each stamped by the same bright orange orb. Now
