Unfathomless Turns 50 (and 51!)

2018 has been a quiet year for field recording labels, as many major players have slowed production or gone on hiatus.  Not so Brussels’ Unfathomless, which celebrates its 50th and 51st releases this season and shows no signs of slowing

Stretching into Summer with ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ Records

A song for every month: May, June, July, August.  Three CDs in a wooden box.  Two and a half hours of music.  This is ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ’s May Batch, designed to score a restful summer.  If the warm months are even half as

The women of pan y rosa discos

Many labels make an effort to raise the profile of female electronic musicians, but pan y rosa discos goes all out.  Of their fifteen releases so far this year, eight are by women.  Their music demonstrates an incredible variety of styles and

Ten Tracks That Sound Like Summer

When does summer start?  On the Irish calendar, the season began on May 1; Australians must wait until December 1.  For Americans, the unofficial launch is Memorial Day; for meteorologists, June 1.  The official Northern Hemisphere date is June 20.

Spurv ~ Myra

We’ve been waiting all year for a great post-rock album, and as summer approaches, we’ve finally gotten one. Norwegian sextet Spurv has made major strides since 2015’s Skarntyde, which demonstrated substantial progress from 2012’s debut.  On Myra, the tracks are shorter, the riffs more

Various Artists ~ Embrace

What does Danish music sound like?  The title of Minais B’s opening track is ironic:  “I Think Most People Here Know.”  The problem is that most people around the world don’t know, which is where this compilation comes in.  Most people associate

Rauelsson ~ Mirall

Witness the continuing evolution of Rauelsson, a musical chameleon who continues to paint in new colors (although his primary palette remains green).  In retrospect, the electronic shift of Mirall can be gleaned in 2013’s Vora, although that album also showed great movement from the

It’s almost summer, an odd time to release an album titled Beauty of Winter.  But despite its cold pedigree, the music sounds warm.  The sound of an ice pick may remind some of shave ice, a summer treat drawn from the
