V/A ~ Dayalu / for Nepal
We’ve all been reading about the horrible calamity in Nepal and the slowness of the relief effort. This will be an ongoing effort that will likely take months or years. Hibernate Records has put together a compilation to help raise

Hidden Persuaders ~ Elegies and Curses
Never underestimate the power of a great cover. That’s what drew us to imprint A Giant Fern in the first place, as øjeRum’s art graced a quartet of releases that made our Best Album Covers feature late last year. The best

Elian ~ Cutting Up the Sun
I first heard the music of Elian (Michael Duane Ferrell) in 2010 with the release of Whispers, Then Silence, an album that hid its appeal beneath folds of sonic cloth. He’s grown much more accessible since then, while sacrificing none of his experimental

Michel Banabila & Oene van Geel ~ Music for viola and electronics II
Music for viola and electronics II is a very good album, an improvement over its already solid predecessor. But with one small adjustment to the track sequencing, it becomes a great album. In its current order, the timbres grow louder and

Mark Vernon ~ Things That Were Missed In The Clamour For Calm
“Whatever is not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.” Buddha’s quote lies at the heart of Mark Vernon‘s Sri Lankan sound collage, an exercise in juxtaposition. Vernon’s CD introduction describes a mechanism in Colombo that instigates noise – drums,

Kuba Kapsa Ensemble ~ Vantdraught 10 Vol. 1

Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld ~ Never were the way she was
It’s a lovely thing when two solo artists mesh – in this instance, saxophonist / clarinetist Colin Stetson and violinist Sarah Neufeld. Each artist is coming off an artistic triumph (Stetson’s New History Warfare series and Neufeld’s solo debut Hero Brother), and each has developed a solid

Matana Roberts ~ Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee
Coin Coin Chapter Three is one of the best albums of 2015. How do we know this already? Because in the modern era, there has never been a year in which ten albums were better than this one. Matana Roberts is a
