Astrïd & Rachel Grimes ~ Through the Sparkle
Those who miss Rachel’s will be pleased by the new collaboration between pianist Rachel Grimes and French collective Astrïd. The latter provides the post-rock boost that was missing from prior Grimes albums, while the former provides the elegant tone that pushes the

Nadia Sirota ~ Tessellatum
Award-winning violist Nadia Sirota has been many things: the host of NPR’s Meet the Composer, a member of yMusic and Alarm Will Sound, a spokesperson for modern composition. With Tessellatum, she becomes something else: fun. One look at the video for “Letter O”, with its

Enrico Coniglio & Matteo Uggeri ~ Open to the Sea
The first thing one notices is the fabulist artwork of Flavio Parrino (1916-1994). The cover image implies a Victorian summer at the sea: families walking along a calm shore, encountering an inventor and a strange contraption, the man perhaps remarking

Ben Frost ~ Threshold of Faith
Last week, Ben Frost pulled a Beyoncé by dropping a surprise mini-album. Those who follow Frost (literally, as in It Follows) might have seen this coming, but the rest of us were caught happily off guard. Threshold of Faith is the first evidence of last

The Doomed Bird of Providence ~ Burrowed Into The Soft Sky

Gaël Segalen ~ Memoir of My Manor
After 2o years of sound work and field recording, Gaël Segalen finally released her first LP. 2016’s L’Ange Le Sage was melodic and abrasive in equal quantities. Memoir of My Manor continues in this vein, adding a new, nearly club-like sensibility. The Parisian artist calls

Adrian Lane ~ Playing With Ghosts
Perhaps the most important thing to say about this album is that it does not sound like The Caretaker. We write this because the comparisons have been made to such an extent that readers may have already made the association. Each composer
