Stage Hands ~ S/T

A follow-up of sorts to The Meets’ It Happens Outside, Stage Hands finds Brandon Locher collaborating with Gerald Mattis and friends for a head-nodding rock and electronic experience.  Fittingly, this short, fun LP has found a home on My Idea of Fun,

Kreng ~ The Summoner

Don’t be fooled by the incredible teaser, which features the grinding doom and screaming vocals of Amenra.  The Summoner is a subdued album that culminates in cacophony.  But watch: here are the dozen stringed instruments, the long, slow draws.  This is

Jasmine Guffond ~ Yellow Bell

Formerly known as Jasmina Maschina and Minit, Jasmine Guffond comes to this ball under her own name.  While her music has been (fairly) compared to that of Grouper, her work is primarily instrumental; impressions are formed by sound, rather than lyric. One

The Union Trade ~ A Place of Long Years

San Francisco quartet The Union Trade calls its new LP a “re-emergence,” and for very good reason.  Having skated on the edges of instrumental post-rock for nearly a decade, the band now goes “mostly unpeopled.”   The result is a triumphant new set.  Fans will still

Lauki ~ Waiting for the thaw

It’s been a while since we’ve had a new score to a silent film (the last being We Stood Like Kings’ Berlin), but we’d love to hear more!  The latest comes from Mikel Lauki, who identifies his base location as Antarctica.

Whale Fall ~ The Madrean

The digital version of Whale Fall‘s sophomore album made an immediate splash when it was released in mid-December, appearing on Echoes and Dust’s fine year-end Top 20 list, as well as a number of post-rock lists.  The Madrean is now set to drop on

Utu Lautturi ~ Nielu

Two years ago, we had the privilege of reviewing Utu Lautturi‘s debut EP, Korpinkorva.  The Finnish artist has just completed his first full-length album, and we find it astonishingly powerful ~ so we’ve included a video premiere and interview as well!

Peals ~ Seltzer

Peals has never sounded like the work of two bass players (Future Islands’ William Cashion and Double Dagger’s Bruce Willen).  2013 debut Walking Field demonstrated a wide variety of influences, from ambient to surf rock, while showcasing the talents of cellist Kate
