Cameron Day ~ The Castle and the Garden

Christmas in July?  The timing may be out of place, but there’s a lot to recommend this release.  The Castle and the Garden is pressed in a cherished format (2xCD3″), contains magical ephemera, sounds lovely, and like everything on Fluid Audio,

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving ~ No Tether

A happy 10th anniversary to Perth’s Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, who have outlasted many contemporaries through evolution.  No Tether is evidence that there is still plenty of room for growth in post-rock, as long as artists are willing to blaze their own

Whale Fall ~ Sondersongs

L.A. post-rockers Whale Fall have taken four years to record their follow-up to The Madrean.  The time has been well-spent, as they’ve produced another catchy, upbeat, and life-affirming album.  Sondersongs is very much a release of its time, with a timely message

Forma ~ Semblance

Peter Burr’s cover is a perfect reflection of the music: man and machine, improvisation and code.  In visual terms, this is a stark departure from the prog look of 2016’s Physicalist, although half of those tracks would feel at home here.

Mary Stark ~ Industrial Folklore Tapes Vol. III – Film as Fabric

Last year, the Industrial Folklore Tapes series (which is actually a vinyl series) made its debut with Instruments of Industry and Springs.  Like its predecessors, the third installment shines a spotlight on a professional art that is rarely noted and is swiftly becoming extinct.

Depatterning ~ The Community Pasture

Living in Ireland, born in Canada, descended from Ukrainian immigrants ~ Gary Mentanko is a prime example of blurred heritage.  With all the talk about protectionism and borders, it’s important to note how indistinct the line really is.  It’s appropriate

Matthias Urban ~ SiAl

Only two months have passed since the release of Matthias Urban‘s Passagen, but SiAl is an entirely different creature.  The earlier album investigated the oscillations of drum cymbals, while the new set is a soundscape of Icelandic ocean recordings.  But wait, there’s more!  In

Oh, the videotape!  Older people can still remember what a big thing this was, back in the day.  For the first time, one could tape programs or record home movies at ease, and with TWO players, one could mix and
