木目鳥 ~ Mokumedori
Performance artist Mokumedori goes all out. She creates a distinct persona (actually a pair of personas, big Mokumedori and little Mokumedori), makes her own masks and props, and decorates her stages and songs with fairy tale images and sounds. She’s an original

Endless Melancholy ~ Music for Quiet Mornings (Reissue)
Five years have passed since the initial release of Music for Quiet Mornings, and much has unfolded during that time. Since 2012, our website has taken off to welcome heights, while the stature of Endless Melancholy has risen considerably. Earlier this year, we featured the

High Plains ~ Cinderland
Cinderland was recorded in a cold Wisconsin winter and reflects the barren landscape, the wide open spaces, and the interminable passage of time. The sound is sparse, measured, and deep, a melding of Mark Bridges’ cello and the contributions of Scott

Martin Pale ~ Semantic Saturation
When does noise become music, and vice versa? When does repetition become semantic saturation, and when does saturation regain meaning? These are the noble questions of Danish sound artist Martin Pale, whose latest effort provides a concise investigation of these properties. Over

Jon Mueller ~ dHrAaNwDn
What a beautiful and elegant release. This is why I love records ~ not just the fidelity, but the sense of surprise (there’s no fast-forwarding through these grooves!), the possibility of elaborate packaging, the expansive art, and in this case,
