Resina ~ Resina
Resina is the perfect album for fall, the music’s autumnal hues enhanced by the artist’s fiery hair. Fatcat’s 130701 imprint has an ear for talent, and introduced the Polish cellist Karolina Rec to a global audience on their summer compilation, Eleven into

New Label: Unifactor Tapes
Cleveland’s Unifactor Tapes makes a splashy debut this month with a trio of quirky releases and an avian art motif. These birds are not normal, nor is the label; and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The label’s first release doesn’t

Ef / Tiny Fingers ~ Vayu
One of our favorite post-rock bands is back, and this time they’ve brought friends! Gothenburg’s Ef has established a name for itself over the past decade, and every release is now an event. Pelagic Records’ Split Series pairs them with Israel’s psychedelic rockers Tiny

Petrels ~ Jörð
Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart longs for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet. This quote, from W.B.

pg.lost ~ Versus
When did pg. lost become this melodic? I wonder as I delve into the opener of the Swedish quartet’s latest album. “Ikaros” is a lovely piece, but so wavy, so rolling, so unexpected. The guitars are intact, the electronics remain present, the builds and the

Dakota Suite | Vampillia ~ The Sea Is Never Full
It may seem strange to write about one tragedy on the anniversary of another, but when the emotions of one seem overwhelming, the empathy of its sibling may provide solace. The Sea Is Never Full remembers the Fukushima disaster from pre-

FIS ~ From Patterns to Details
From Patterns to Details is an immersive album: thick, loudly mastered, and at times nearly abrasive. While listening, one has the choice of focusing on the patterns, which are not always overt, and the details, which are nearly beyond number. FIS crafts his

R. Schwarz ~ Wind 1-3
Here we are in the middle of a tropical storm, and I’m listening to the wind outside while writing about the recorded wind inside. This amusing confluence works to the tape’s advantage. The last two hurricanes have borne distinctly non-intimidating
