Virgilio Oliveira ~ Picos de Urbión, the source of the Duero

Picos de Urbión is a crisp, uninterrupted trip down a Spanish river, beginning in the mountains and ending in the streams.  This field recording composite tells a story of glacial melt, ecosystems and community engagement, all in only 37 minutes. While the

One and Seven Eighths ~ Modern Camping Songs

Modern Camping Songs is quirky, clever, and fun, and would make a perfect alternate soundtrack to Moonrise Kingdom.  An anonymous commenter calls it “one of the best camping based musical releases for a few months now”.  This endearing statement is a perfect entry

Loren Chasse ~ Characters at the Water Margin

What are the characters of the water margin?  Creatures of sea, sky and land, converging on a single location; anthropomorphized pebbles, waves and debris; stalwart watchers on the bluffs.  Loren Chasse gives all equal weight on his new disc, recorded at

Lawrence English ~ Wilderness of Mirrors

It’s been three years since Lawrence English‘s last album (longer than our site has been around!), but the artist has remained in the public eye through his Room40 label and his live appearances.  During this time, he’s grown interested in “the

Bruno Sanfilippo ~ ClarOscuro

The phrase that comes to mind while watching Bruno Sanfilippo play the piano is “deceptively simple”.  One thinks, “that doesn’t look so hard”.  Then the right hand moves up an octave, the playing grows more complex, and one’s initial impression is revised.

dmGida ~ dwell&mind

dmGida‘s music falls into a category that’s so small, it doesn’t have a name.  For review purposes, we’re calling it electronic, but a more proper name might be “ghostly gothic beats”.  The Boston producer’s debut EP comes across as the

This unique pair of releases from the Moremars label stretches beyond the usual confines.  The first is a CD3″ nestled in a poetry chapbook; the second is a sonic exploration of non-existent Finnish words.  Together, they are evidence of a
