Poly Chain ~ Nemesis

Poly Chain (Kyiv-born Sasha Zakrevska) has been making music for a dozen years, and on Nemesis she takes inventory of her journey.  The tracks span that entire length.  Shifting from ambience to club music and back again, the album also symbolizes

Manon McCoy & Alice Brookes ~ objects aligned out of time

We were immediately intrigued when we read the words “two wine glasses, a stack of paper and some dried peas.”  These represent only a sampling of the objects aligned out of time that coalesce in the unique sonic universe of sound

William Tyler ~ Time Indefinite

An 1100-word description on Bandcamp doesn’t leave much to add about this sublime album, so we will try to say different things in more succinct fashion.  Time Indefinite may be a guitar album, but it’s not just a guitar album; the sonic additions
