BABEL ~ Sofandi
There’s a certain sadness to be felt on Sofandi, as we come to terms with the thought that this might be the last BABEL album. Jakob Rehlinger claims to have said all he can say, and has tied the strings together on this

Rafael Anton Irisarri ~ The Shameless Years
One can rail about the state of society, or one can do something about it. On The Shameless Years, Rafael Anton Irisarri leads by example. During a period of stifled expression, he creates; during a time of anti-Muslim sentiment, he invites an Iranian

NYOS ~ Navigation
After two black-and-white albums and one black-and-white single, Finland guitar and drums duo NYOS has finally burst into color. The cool wintry blue artwork of Navigation is a confident metaphor for the music, which continues to surprise. Thanks to the looping, there’s no way
