Krojc / Fischerle ~ John, Betty and Stella
By far the strangest release of the season, John, Betty and Stella cuts dialogue from English-language training records, rearranges them into little plays, and places them over an electronic backdrop. It’s the best use of old dialogue we’ve heard since 2012’s Tyneham House.

All We Expected / Raum Kingdom ~ Split
With an A side from an instrumental post-rock band and a B side from a guttural post-metal band, it’s easy to guess which we’ll like best. The surprise is that the two make such a lovely racket together. Belgium’s All We

Lewtrakimou & Adam More ~ Fascinating Everything
The title is apt: Fascinating Everything is indeed fascinating. This beguiling release goes in every direction save the expected; when it is over, one asks, what did I just hear? The product of a former Arkansan (now in South Korea) and a Canadian,
