Spurv ~ Skarntyde

Norwegian post-rock band Spurv (Sparrow) admits that “four songs in 45 minutes isn’t the average everyday radio music.”  But it is what fans hope to encounter in post-rock: make-or-break, risk-taking ventures that soothe and stir in equal measure. Skarntyde (Danish for “hemlock”) is no suicide

Bruno Bavota ~ Mediterraneo

When we last encountered Bruno Bavota, he (or a stand-in) was on a rock, staring out to sea.  The new collection may be called Mediterraneo, but according to the composer, it is not about the sea.  Bavota writes that it is instead about “warmth,
