We Stood Like Kings ~ USSR 1926
We Stood Like Kings steps one year deeper into the past with its latest release, the follow-up to Berlin 1927. Like that release, the LP is a new score to an old film, this one being Dziga Vertov’s Russian classic A Sixth Part

Fossil Aerosol Mining Project ~ The Day 1982 Contaminated 1971
At this time of year, we begin searching for October music: haunted, disconcerting and dark. The Day 1982 Contaminated 1971 nails the mood. Detuned radios, disembodied dialogue and fragments of sound drift down deserted hallways like echoes in an abandoned institution.

Mono & The Ocean ~ Transcendent
Mono & The Ocean‘s split 12″ follows the template of the recently reviewed All We Expected/Raum Kingdom split LP. Mono’s side is instrumental, The Ocean’s has vocals, and yet both are complimentary. One might say that the groundwork was laid

Esmerine ~ Lost Voices
It’s just not fair. Montreal’s Esmerine was already one of the world’s best instrumental rock bands, with roots stretching back to GY!BE and Thee Silver Mt. Zion. But now the band has added members and guest stars, including touring member Jérémi Roy

Dan Friel ~ Life
The cover is as colorful as that of Total Folklore, signaling the burst of energy that listeners will find within its grooves. And after a short, surprising lullaby, the push is on, as “Cirrus” explodes in multicolor brilliance. Yes, Dan Friel has

Baldruin (Johannes Schebler) has just completed a hat trick. Miniaturen, a collection of foreboding yet tiny tracks, arrived in January on A Giant Fern. This was followed in August by the mysterious, synth-drenched tape Klaue on SPAM. These tapes have now been

Emmanuel Mieville ~ Ethers
Emanuel Mieville can be described alternately as a field recording artist who creates drones and a drone artist who uses field recordings. On Ethers, he attempts “to lower drone music from the skies”, and succeeds; their earthbound nature is clear. This makes
