Kate Carr ~ Overheard in Doi Saket

Back in February, we reviewed Kate Carr‘s sound map Lost in Doi Saket, and expressed our desire for a physical release.  Our wish has just been granted in an unusual way; Overheard in Doi Saket is presented as a sound card in

La Mar ~ Tides

There’s a good reason for the sophomore slump: bands have their whole lives to work up to their first album and only a year or two to produce their second.  La Mar avoids this slump by stepping up in every

Barnes and Noble is Selling Records Again.

Is this the tipping point that vinyl addicts have been waiting for?  As I walked into the store this morning, I saw something that I hadn’t seen in years: a display of brand new records.  Let’s take a moment to

Kineskop ~ Kontékst

Late last year, we reviewed Already Dead Tapes’ 100th release, Document.  We blinked, and they’re already up to #136!  Kontékst is one of the label’s most intriguing releases, an investigation of time and the markings of time. The cassette is packed

Holly Herndon ~ Body Sound

Another excellent release from the ever-reliable Infinite Greyscale, Body Sound continues the label’s tradition of offering creative music on 10″ colored vinyl.  A fellow reviewer called the release “slightly baffling,” but it’s not; it’s beautiful.  The unique nature of the recording deserves

Huma-Huma ~ Theme Songs for Invisible Motion Pictures

Hawai’i’s native fish is the humu-humu, short for the fun-to-pronounce humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa.  This name gives us a hint of what to expect from Huma-Huma: happy music, guaranteed to inspire smiles. Huma-Huma is all about happiness; “happy” is even one of their tags.  In

Dumbsaint ~ Disappearance in a Minor Role

“It’s your job to make the fiction real.  Be creative,” says one character to another in “Part 1: Gabrielle”, the third installment of Dumbsaint‘s video triptych.  And that’s exactly what the Sydney band has been doing all these months: releasing
