Mikael Lind ~ Norðaustur
Iceland is home to some of the most unique pairings of sound and visual art, and Norðaustur (Northwest) is a fine addition to the canon. The album began as an installation in a big fish oil tank in Raufarhöfn, where Sigga

Stine Janvin / Morten Joh ~ Or Gare – funeral procession music from Ryfylke, Norway
Recalling the ancient custom of “Liksong” (“corpse song”), Or Gare – funeral procession music from Ryfylke, Norway is reverent, spooky and enthralling, an imagined score to a single, haunted procession. The otherworldly vocals uncouple listeners from the present, immersing them in

Ancient Methods ~ Society of the Spectacle
After playing the LP, I went back to read the book. Guy Debord’s 1967 treatise of the same name is a masterpiece of philosophical prophecy, seeming to predict everything from Facebook to fake news, celebrity culture to A.I., and most

Jilk ~ Tetsuo II
Jilk‘s Jon Worsley recalls seeing Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo II (1992) when he was “way too young;” the experience left an indelible, and perhaps slightly scarring impression. The film, groundbreaking for its time, includes graphic scenes of torture and body horror, centering around

Fields Ohio ~ A Ghostly Band of Doubts
The collaborative duo Fields Ohio has returned with another slice of modern nostalgia. The music draws from the last few decades, while the images recall an even more distant time, part Norman Rockwell and part black-and-white. While listening, one may

Haiku Salut & Meg Morley ~ The Lost Score
The Lost Score is not actually a lost score, but a new score to the silent German film “People on Sunday” (1930), whose original soundtrack was classical and operatic. Viewed after a century of perspective, the film is an oddity and

Nene H ~ Second Skin
Breakup albums are extremely difficult to pull off. In order to succeed, one must navigate a wide gauntlet of emotions without coming across as either crushed or petty. A great breakup album doesn’t just stick it to the other person;

Dobrawa Czocher ~ State of Matter
