Jonathan Kawchuk ~ North

Fans of Eilean Records know that the label assigns colors and seasons to all of its releases.  North is their first release of winter, synaesthetically described as white/grey.  The colors fit, as the album shifts gently into the bleached colors of

Jérémie Mathes ~ Fallow Memory

As children, we are wont to wander.  Abandoned buildings, fallow fields, cracked drainpipes and secluded forests possess a secret allure.  We look and listen closely; we invent stories in our minds to explain the sudden boom, the constant crackle, the

Bas van Huizen ~ Kluwekracht

The return of Bas van Huizen is a welcome late-season surprise.  We last heard from the Dutch artist under his Shoganai moniker, with an album that made our Top Ten Drone of 2013.  The tracks here may be a little older, but they
