Ali Helnwein ~ Strange Creations (Vinyl)

We love watching artists develop, and even more, we love watching them succeed.  When Spring Break Tapes released Strange Creations in 2012, we were impressed with Ali Helnwein‘s mainstream notoriety (an Emmy and credit on a Grammy!)  But since Helnwein’s release of Voyage

Daniel Blomquist ~ Nascent/Egress

Soothing and challenging in alternate measures, Daniel Blomquist’s two-track Nascent/Egress is an exercise in erasure and composure, a series of movements abraded like glass in the waves until it possesses a new allure. This happens.  This is something that happens.  The sparse

Teeth Engraved With the Names of the Dead ~ Above/Below

Summer is typically a time for Jeeps and beaches, but if life starts to get a little too bright, and the happy faces are too much to take, this cassette provides a lovely dark alternative.  With a name like Teeth Engraved

Timothy Fairless ~ Plural

The second time’s the charm for Timothy Fairless, as he follows last year’s 4-track, 27-minute EP with a 4-track, 29-minute EP.  Measurement laid the groundwork for Plural, a unified work that could fall into any one of our seven categories, a rare

Various Artists ~ Trade & Distribution Almanac Volume Four

I recently spent a weekend in a city that seemed to play only 80s pop music.  Every store, bar and radio station shared the same playlist.  As I drove away at the end of the weekend, I was thankful for

Endless Melancholy ~ Her Name In A Language Of Stars

The album begins with a slow music box melody and a distant ambient wash, like stars twinkling in front of the Milky Way or Aurora Borealis ~ a perfect reflection of the album cover.  This is Endless Melancholy‘s fourth full album

Ricardo Donoso ~ Machine to Machine

Ricardo Donoso is difficult to define.  On the one hand, he’s part of the wild experimental duo Perispirit; on the other, he’s the curator of the Kathexis label, whose last release was Alex Menzies’ subtle soundtrack to Order & Disorder.  Then

Plesiosaur~ ~ Falling

With Jurassic World all the rage this summer, it seems like a good time to be named plesiosaur~, even with the tilde.  When last we encountered Tonesucker’s Steve Elsey, he was in mourning; this time, he’s stretching his wings and flying to
