Ghosts of Sailors at Sea ~ Red Sky Morning
Bands take note: this is how to draw attention to an album. Boston’s maritime musicians Ghosts of Sailors at Sea have put time, effort and thought into every facet of this engaging LP. A uniformity of theme is apparent in the name of the

Christine Ott ~ Only Silence Remains
This is one beguiling record. It starts with opera and ends with poetry, and in the end, only silence remains. The opening soprano segment makes an immediate statement: this is not conventional music. By the middle of the set, one may

Disemballerina ~ Poison Gown
When we last reviewed Portland, Oregon’s chamber metal trio Disemballerina, we concentrated on the politics of art and the blurring of gender. This time out, the band seems to want fans to concentrate on its music. This is a welcome development

Lasse-Marc Riek ~ One Hour As Trees In Finland
What’s it like to be a tree? For humans, the answer is nigh unknowable. Our sense of time and perspective is skewed toward the immediate. We are seldom rooted. Our internal rings are not concentric. Wendell Berry writes, “If we

Skadedyr ~ Culturen
The easiest description of Norway’s Skededyr is “12 musicians and an even larger number of instruments”, but those words only begin to tell the story. As might be expected from such largesse, the band produces a wide variety of sounds, from post-rock to
