Lapsihymy ~ Dreams take over everything

Dreams take over everything.  While many teens dream, Lapsihymy puts his dreams into action.  The Finnish producer’s first album follows on the heels of three solid EPs.  He’s one of the year’s best rookies, with a timely sound and a broad

Moody Alien ~ Down to the Junkyard

Down to the junkyard goes Moody Alien.  We can hear the birds chirping, the children playing, the tapping and rustling while he searches for a tune in the junk heap of sounds.  Turns out there are quite a few tunes in here,

Watch Repair ~ The Polarities

The duo’s name says it all ~ Watch Repair sounds like loose copper wheels, backward-ticking hands and an old repairman tinkering in the gears.  The timely art (John Coulthart) returns The Polarities to the visual theme of debut Stopped Clock Chimes and its follow-up, Watch Repair, beginning

Deison ~ Any Time Now

October must be near, because our submissions are getting scarier.  Case in point: Any Time Now, a foreboding set whose dark drones are shadowed by sullen electronics, crime scene samples and rattling chains.  Even the most cheerful track title (“Blissfull Moments”)

Midori Hirano ~ Minor Planet

We’ve always had a weakness for Sonic Pieces’ hand-stitched covers, shown below in an image borrowed from Sounds of a Tired City.  Minor Planet contains an circle on the cloth cover to represent its title, but we’re simply going to call

Bruno Bavota ~ Out of the Blue

We’ve greatly enjoyed watching Bruno Bavota‘s career develop over the years.  At first self-released, the artist has recently seen a retrospective set issued on 1631 Recordings and has now signed to Sono Luminus for his latest effort.  Perhaps the most romantic of

NYOS ~ Nature

When I was a child, playing with a friend, my mother once exclaimed, “how can two people make so much noise?”  I had forgotten this question until I heard Finnish duo NYOS, the post-rock duo that sounds a quartet (although guitarist Tom
