Wang Wen ~ Invisible City
The Invisible City is what remains after young people desert the infrastructure in search of better jobs and cleaner air. Wang Wen watched this exodus occur in Dailan, China, a city the band describes as “grim,” yet proudly, “home.” The album title is

FEAN (Piiptsjilling with Joachim Badenhorst, Sylvain Chauveau and Annelies Monseré)
The market is so crowded with LPs about endangered peatland that it’s hard to sort through them all. Just kidding, there’s only one. FEAN‘s self-titled album is educative, leading us to ask questions such as: “What is peatland?” Also known
