Abby Lee Tee ~ riverside burrows
To live in the Alps is to be immersed in natural beauty, and in riverside burrows, Abby Lee Tee translates this beauty into sound. A blend of field recordings (some from other locales) and gentle instrumentation, the two-part composition creates an atmosphere

WhyOceans ~ Inmost Dens of Emilie
Once in a while, without warning, we receive a sweet post-rock surprise. Last year, it was the eighth album from Wang Wen, and this year it’s the sophomore album from Macao quintet WhyOceans, mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna). Inmost

L’Effondras ~ Les Flavescences
We usually leave the hard stuff to our friends at Echoes & Dust, but this one was too good to resist. Lyon post-rock / post-metal threesome L’Effondras channels the might of Tool in four long tracks and adds a whole lot of

The Greatest Hoax ~ Expiration Compositions
Expiration Compositions marks a slight turn for the Serein label, which we associate more with ambient recordings than classical. But the pairing is apt, as the prior works of Taylor Jordan (The Greatest Hoax) were also of a different pedigree. The
