Sontag Shogun ~ Patterns for Resonant Space
Patterns for Resonant Space is ambient in sound, but experimental in design. The album was composed in reverse fashion, with the piano offering comments on the field recordings and tape loops. The background becomes the foreground, yielding an appreciation of space

Pan Daijing ~ Lack 惊蛰
Pan Daijing does not sound like anyone else. This is a rare accomplishment, nearly unheard of for a debut LP. Even her label (in an unusual confluence, PAN) avoids namedropping, despite the fact that such comparisons have become de rigueur. The sonic

The Chapel of Exquises Ardents Pears ~ TorqueMadra
Sometimes a collaboration is more than just a collaboration, it’s a statement. And even though this blended band doesn’t make its statement explicit, the friendship between France’s Anathème and the U.K.’s Stems underlines the thought that Brexit is a very bad idea.

Ester Vonplon + Taylor Deupree & Marcus Fischer ~ Lowlands
Winter music in July? For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this sounds like an odd proposition. Yet when the temperatures get too hot, the humidity too high, this collection of cooled compositions and icy photographs acts as an

Emilía ~ Down to the Sadness River
Down to the Sadness River is a compact evocation of unnamed grief. The titles suggest a story. A woman named Emilía sees a child playing by the river. He falls in and is kidnapped by the current; she chases the river,
