Pigeon Laundry ~ S/T
It’s hard to resist a duo whose first single and video features a leaf blower. Yes, “Blow” is destined to be the go-to track for lawn workers this upcoming season. Yet while the leaf blower is the highlight, this brilliant track doesn’t

Darren McClure ~ Togari summerscapes
It’s been a long layoff for Impulsive Habitat, but earlier this month the label returned with a half-dozen releases, the most timely being Togari summerscapes. The second word is invented ~ my MacBook keeps insisting that I want to write summer’s capes ~ but for

Fragments ~ Imaginary Seas
Rate Your Music may seem haphazard, but it’s also a valuable resource for discovering new music. That’s how we found out about Imaginary Seas. The album is currently ranked #54 out of this year’s 127 post-rock albums, yet has the second-highest

Russian Circles ~ Guidance
10 years of Russian Circles (12 counting EPs). TEN YEARS! This alone is a laudable achievement. The fact that the trio has continued to stay relevant while making minor adjustments to its sound is icing on the cake. A slightly longer-than-usual

Dan Hayhurst ~ Critter Party
Critter Party looks and sounds like a breakfast cereal ~ specifically, Crispy Critters (although a case could be made for Freakies as well). It’s easy to imagine these eight tracks as little monsters, colorful and mischievous. They bubble, they gurgle, they

Mouse on Mars ~ Lichter
Infinite Greyscale continues its silkscreen vinyl series with another suburb single-track effort, this one a 13-minute percussive creature from Mouse on Mars. This series has proven an excellent outlet for new creative energies, as the demands of an album are removed,

David Newlyn ~ Linen
The descriptions are sparse, the cover is fuzzy, and the music is ephemeral. Linen can pass by without notice, but in a good way. Interesting people do not always seem so at first. Sometimes they are too shy or quiet to

Blue Blue Youth ~ We Are Wood And Likely To Burn
The EP is a slow burn, reflecting its title: a smoldering cigarette in the woods, sunlight funneled through a magnifying glass, a carelessly abandoned campfire, an overworked fuse. These are the dog days of summer, days of heat shimmer and
