Dalot ~ Mutogibito
We believe we’ve found the perfect album for Mother’s Day! With Mutogibito, Dalot (Maria Papadomanolaki) returns to her roots, while celebrating the newness of motherhood. She’s made an album which her young daughter Athena will likely enjoy now and brag about later. The

Åke Parmerud ~ Nécropolis
Nearly a year has passed since the release of Åke Parmerud‘s creative collection Growl, which included pieces inspired by birds, machines, vinyl grooves and heavy metal growls. Nécropolis covers glass, voices, a blind dreamer and the city of the dead. The specificity of each

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Unworks and Rarities
Parisian collective Oiseaux-Tempête follows Re-Works with Unworks & Rarities, an shorter-than-usual album, but without filler. It’s remarkable to think that these were tracks that didn’t make prior releases. On this album, the collective continues to channel its innermost Godspeed, albeit with a European twist. The first

Eighth Blackbird ~ Hand Eye
When an ensemble has won a quartet of Grammies, some begin to wonder: has the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences gotten it right? It’s a fair question, considering the oddities that have piled up over the years (for

AGF ~ Kon:3p>UTION to: e[VOL]ution
“Different shape! Different color! Different pitch! Different tone!” These exclamations, from “age of pitch” (feat. Klein) not only sum up the new album, but the entire oeuvre of AGF (Antye Greie-Ripatti). While this is her ninth solo set, she’s participated

Colin Stetson ~ Sorrow: a reimagining of Gorecki’s 3rd Symphony
Where were you in 1992? Many of our readers weren’t born yet. But older readers will remember the strange surge of Polish composer Henryk Górecki as his third symphony topped the classical charts, sold a million copies and crashed into the

What’s going on inside all those disc drives, cellphones and computers? We’ve grown accustomed to obvious sounds: the whirr of a burning disc, the start-ups and shut-downs, the overheating hum of internal fans. But what about all the data stored,

Mumbles ~ Hinterpest: a story of wildflowers, buttonweeds and cattle skulls
Hinterpest is a charming, alluring oddity. The release arrives from Sweden, but sounds unearthed from the old American west. It contains a folky, handmade tale that seems tailor-made for harvest festivals, but is released in spring. Yet spring is only the
