Silent Whale Becomes A° Dream ~ Requiem
Settle in, and get ready for the long haul. Silent Whale Becomes A° Dream offers post-rock as post-rock should be: four songs over the course of an hour, including two eighteen-minute behemoths. The album contains all the excitement one could

Tiny Leaves ~ Notes on Belonging
We love seasonal albums: sets that reflect a certain time of year, and are released at that time. Our last pure fall album was Himmelsrandt’s 4 Moments & Rain; this one is a worthy successor. One need look no further

Stuzha ~ Siberian Sketches II
The door squeaks and opens; the raging blizzard fills the ears. Stuzha slams the door and heads out with his acoustic guitar, trudging through the snow, his hands growing more frozen as he walks. At a certain point, it’s too

BJNilsen ~ Massif Trophies
BJ Nilsen is in great shape. How do we know? Look at these mountains. By the end of his month-long Alpine hike, the artist learned a few lessons about difficulty, determination and perseverance, which are translated to this recording. We hear

Abby Lee Tee ~ Herbert’s Archive
We first encountered Abby Lee Tee earlier this year with the superlative riverside burrows, and we’re happy to see the artist return so quickly. Herbert’s Archive may be a shorter work, but it’s no less scintillating. Again the artist is underwater, playing percussion with

A Year in the Country ~ All the Merry Year Round
Now that Halloween is over, we turn our attention to upcoming holidays: the harvest festival and the winter solstice. What’s that you say, you had other holidays in mind? A Year in the Country‘s latest release reminds us that there

Solo Collective ~ Part One
Solo Collective isn’t quite large enough to be called a supergroup, but it’s definitely a super trio. Combining the talents of Dictaphone’s Alex Stolze (violin), Nils Frahm collaborator Anne Müller (cello) and The War On Drugs’ Sebastian Reynolds (piano), these versatile musicians demonstrate a great
