sleepmakeswaves ~ Made of Breath Only
No horns? No strings? It takes a while to adjust to the new, more muscular sound of sleepmakeswaves, but by the time the ten-and-a-half-minute monster “the edge of everything” drops, it all clicks. Literally, we might add, as the combination of live and

Golden Diskó Ship ~ Imaginary Boys
On most albums, there’s a single moment in which one leans into the album or leans away. On Imaginary Boys, the moment arrives early, at 2:02 of the opening track. The Middle Eastern groove of “Flaming Flamingo” has already been established

Those Who Walk Away ~ The Infected Mass
Full disclosure: I lost a friend in Pan Am Flight 103 and two acquaintances in the Twin Towers, so I’m not sure I like this album. Matthew Patton (Those Who Walk Away) lost a brother in a plane crash, and

Ondrej Zajac ~ ICU
Those who spend a lot of time in intensive care units (as visitors, patients or staff), grow accustomed not only to their sounds, but to their feel. Sonically, an intense maelstrom of beeps and buzzes, collapses and cries threatens to overwhelm.

Mark John McEncroe ~ Dark Clouds in Life
Dark Clouds in Life is a rare creature, an album about depression that isn’t depressing. Through it all ~ and especially in the album’s core, “Natalie’s Suite” ~ the composer remains empathetic and above all, hopeful. Due to its approach, the
