Ambient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis.  Donato Dozzy layers and

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Ütopiya?

Certain albums lend themselves to certain natural environments: home listening, club, car ride, airline trip.  Ütopiya? is the perfect album for a stroll through an urban environment.  I realized this last week while walking in Manhattan with my iPod.  Unlike

Every post-rock album released this season will stand in the shadow of GY!BE, but that doesn’t mean there’s no other good post-rock out there.  One great way to be recognized is with humor and verve, both of which are on
