V/A ~ Landscapes of Fear

Gruenrekorder’s new double-disc Landscapes of Fear, conceived and produced by Dirk Specht and Sebastian Thewes, explores the role of sound art as psychological reflection and social commentary.  The liner notes are as contemporary as the evening news, referencing the European border crisis and military

Gonçalo F Cardoso & Ruben Pater ~ A Study into 21st Century Drone Acoustics

The word “drone” was coined to describe the sound made by the male bee.  Over time, this definition was expanded to include any sort of low continuous hum.  Our Drone section covers sound art in this spectrum.  Yet in recent years,

Elara ~ In the Depths of Time, In an Ocean Made of Stars

Post-rock is a tricky genre.  As a life-long fan, I tend to regard almost all post-rock as good.  But each year, only a handful of post-rock albums rise above the remainder, demanding repeat plays.  In the Depths of Time, In

Kate Carr ~ I had myself a nuclear spring

No stranger to creative formatting, sound artist Kate Carr has just released her latest work on a USB flash drive, housed in an aluminum tin.  While it may suggest smuggled secrets from Spectre, these recorded sounds are meant to be shared. On the

Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ End of Summer

Fresh from the success of the Sicario score, Jóhann Jóhannsson returns with the polar opposite (pun intended).  End of Summer is a sedate, otherworldly expression of arctic cold and white-hued landscapes: subtle where Sicario was overt and filigreed where it was bombastic.  The film’s degraded 8mm black-and-white

Deison/Favaron ~ Nearly Invisible

Deison and Gianluca Favaron have each appeared on our site before, both as solo artists and as collaborators; this is the first time they have worked together on a full-fledged work.  Nearly Invisible is a measured study in deteriorating texture, a testimony

Shapednoise ~ Different Selves

Shapednoise is the perfect name for this project from the owner of Repitch Recordings.  One imagines bundles of sound, scratchy and serrated, being molded by a pair of sonic hands into unusual audio shapes. The album starts with menacing beats and

Vic Mars ~ The Land and the Garden

We’re telling you about this release early (pre-orders are still a week away) because Clay Pipe recordings tend to sell out quickly and we’d love everyone to have a shot at this one!  The Land and the Garden is yet another
