Broken20 ~ The Li Series
Glasgow’s Broken20 label is putting the finishing touches on the Li Series, which pairs music with short texts and photos. The interdisciplinary nature of the project attracted us to this series, and many warm surprises are to be found within. Li refers to the “random

Cinders Ensemble ~ Lonely Eskimo
“Let’s get the band back together!” That’s what Austin’s Cinders Ensemble has done after a long hiatus. It’s been four years since they re-formed, and fifteen since their last recorded album, and the time off doesn’t show at all. In the meantime,

Forresta ~ Bass, Space & Time
Once in a while, we come across a project whose concept, presentation and execution blow us away. Forresta‘s Bass, Space & Time is one of these. Even more expansive than John Eckhardt’s Forests (a USB stick boxed with forest material), the new LP offers an increased

Alan Jenkins ~ Well, That About Wraps It Up For The Sea
How many versions of “She Loves You” do you need? Fewer than are found here, but more than you think. Well, That About Wraps It Up For The Sea is a tongue-in-cheek compilation with creative liner notes that tell the story

Sustainer ~ Medicina
On the surface, Medicina seems like a lost album from The Caretaker, until one considers its pedigree. These old records didn’t come from the 20s and 30s, but the 60s and 70s. They represent a loving reclamation of a maligned form of

Alder & Ash ~ Psalms for the Sunder
Psalms for the Sunder is a reminder that some of the finest new music is being released only digitally. June Barry’s cover art deserves to be appreciated in a three dimensional format, but the depth of scale is apparent even in

Stoka Ensemble ~ xx0E5/-1|1|—q%
The title of Stoka Ensemble‘s latest EP may not stick in the memory (“Hey, have you heard xx0E5/-1|1|—q%?”), but the music is extremely catchy. With one drummer, two brass players and three laptop musicians, the band offers a unique and upbeat sound. Lead single

Radian ~ On Dark Silent Off
Radian announces itself with a squelch and a blur. It’s been seven years, and where has the time gone? Soon those big beats (and we do mean BIG) hit their stride, the beeps bounce like water in a Jurassic Park puddle, and
