Matthew Collings ~ Silence Is A Rhythm Too
Last year we reviewed Matthew Collings‘ Splintered Instruments, which is being re-released on Denovali along with the current album. The instrumentation is even stronger this time around, highlighted by a brass ensemble and string quartet, and the vocals have been dropped. While

Lodsb ~ Helicon 1
Australia’s Retort Records has been on a tear since May, releasing two 7″s, three EPs and two full-length albums. While Kashiwa Daisuke is the label’s best known name, IDM artist Lodsb is their crown jewel, and Helicon 1 is the artist and label’s best

Ulises Conti ~ Los Griegos creían que las estrellas eran pequeños agujeros por donde los dioses escuchaban a los hombres
After publishing the name of the album (whose rough translation is The Greeks believed that the stars were small holes where the gods listened to men), will there be any room left for the review? There’s hardly enough room for the

Pjusk ~ Solstøv
On its fourth album, Norwegian duo Pjusk essentially becomes a quartet. Rune Sagevik and Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik focus their attention on the timbres of Kåre Nymark Jr.’s trumpet, while 12k’s Taylor Deupree contributes gentle electronic manipulations. Solstøv is a slice of mood cut

Various Artists ~ Souvenirs Van de Woeste Grond
This release is so much fun it makes me want to learn Dutch. The album features new music from Gluid, Gareth Davis, Machinefabriek, Weerthof, Reinier van Houdt and Wouter van Veldhoven, which is enough by itself. But the backstory

The Echelon Effect ~ Pacific
In only five years, David Walters (The Echelon Effect) has cornered a section of the market to the extent that he’s become the exemplar. His brand of post-rock is upbeat, ebullient, positive, and crisply mastered. While others operate in this

Busto Power Trio ~ The Deal
When listening to The Deal, the debut set from London noir surfers Busto Power Trio, one can’t help but think of Gru, the protagonist of Despicable Me. There’s that finger-snapping jaunt (“Negotiating”), a sunglass tint to the music, and an overall atmosphere of

Various Artists ~ CAM 1
CAM 1 is meant to highlight the diverse sonic talent of Wales, but it ends up being a larger advertisement for the diversity of music itself. This is exactly what a compilation is meant to do: create interest in the label,
