Zoë Mc Pherson ~ Upside Down
The beats seldom stop on Zoë Mc Pherson‘s latest record, and the energy never flags. And yet the artist has more on their mind than dancing; Mc Pherson also calls out stark indictments of the “neoliberal war machine” and the

Gellért Szabó’s Ideal Orchestra ~ Live at Berghain
Words to describe Live at Berghain: pummeling, overwhelming, emotional. And yet also: tender, restrained, thoughtful. The cover image suggests desolation and loss, the track titles religion, war, heroism. How can a set be all these things at once? The one-hour concert from

Evan Gildersleeve ~ Wake

Joni Void ~ Every Life Is A Light
Montréal’s Joni Void has created a universe in which time collapses in on itself. Every Life Is A Light begins in mid-loop, an indication of its nature. The album is a treasure trove of tapes and effects, crate digging and mind

Kronos Quartet & Mary Kouyoumdjian ~ WITNESS
We last encountered Mary Kouyoumdjian with 2 Suitcases, which told the story of a couple fleeing the Lebanese Civil War. The subject is greatly expanded on WITNESS, which pairs the composer with Kronos Quartet. We consider this a major work: startlingly relevant, meticulously researched

Grand River ~ Tuning the Wind
Those familiar with Grand River‘s All Above – one of our top electronic releases of 2023 – may be surprised at the timbre of Tuning the Wind. But Aimée Portioli has always been about more than electronics. Tuning the Wind is a grand experiment
