PAS Musique ~ Inside the Spectrum
PAS Musique‘s follow-up to Abandoned Bird Egg is an intriguing foray into sound collage, with multi-faceted instrumentation welded to vintage scientific dialogue, culminating in a sense of World Fair wonder. If Public Service Broadcasting were more abstract, they might sound like this.

Solkyri ~ Sad Boys Club
Handclaps may be simple, but they can communicate a great deal. They are seldom less than happy; they can keep a beat or reward an artist at the end of a concert. On “Yes, I’m Breathing,” the opening handclaps are

Chains Made of Chalk ~ S/T
While digging in the sonic dirt, Amok Recordings unearthed a dark gem with sinister powers. To protect its listeners, the label broke the gem into four equal parts. But beware! Play these four CD3″s sequentially and you may become possessed by

Holly Herndon ~ Platform
“The future is geopolitical,” declares Holly Herndon in her video for “Interference.” Or perhaps “declares” is the wrong term, as the words on the screen are not part of the song. Metahaven’s video also includes blank ads, miming the boxes that interfere with our

Leafcutter John ~ Resurrection
Back in 2006, Leafcutter John recorded a beguiling album called The Forest and the Sea, that turned out to be my favorite album of that year. I wasn’t writing for anyone back then, but this is my chance to make up for it.

Haarvöl ~ Indite
The opening moments of Indite sound like a large electronic contraption powering up, which serves as a metaphor for the Portuguese trio. This is their second album, although they’ve been making music and videos for years, most notably the haunting and beautiful

Anthony Donovan & JOHN 3:16 ~ Of the Hex and Its Likenesses
Only in the digital age might a Philadelphia drone artist find a home for a new album in Japan, but that’s what happened to JOHN 3:16, whose team-up with Anthony Donovan is available on CD in Japan and on iTunes everywhere. It’s encouraging
