Section 27 ~ Sectioned v4.0

Why would one take the time to listen to a 101-track, eight hour compilation?  That’s easy ~ if one likes the type of music, is eager to hear more, and is open to the discovery of new artists, one will

Montag ~ Trepezzi

Italian quartet Montag makes a huge splash with its debut release Trepezzi: half an hour of hard-edged, quality post-rock in the vein of Neil On Impression.  We’ve missed this sort of music.  Montag isn’t trying to lull or cross over; the concentration is

Anduin / Steven Vitiello ~ Richmond Tape Club 4B & 5

The Richmond Tape Club series returns in April with five new releases as the bands gear up for RVA Noise Fest III.  Jonathan Lee’s roster will provide a welcome respite from the festival’s “eardrum destroying acts”, as many travel in

Christina Vantzou ~ No. 2

Listening again to Christina Vantzou‘s No. 1 (2011), I’m reminded again of how lovely the Dead Texan’s work has been all along, from the gossamer beauty of “Homemade Mountains” to the string-laden centre of “Super Interlude Part 2”.  Comparisons to A Winged Victory

Saåad ~ Deep/Float

Once upon a time, a vinyl release was taken for granted; now it’s a goal to which artists aspire.  After numerous releases over the course of five years, Saåad has finally scored its first LP.  We share in the duo’s joy,

Nelson Patton ~ S/T

Dave Nelson and Marion Patton (Nelson Patton) have an unusual setup: Nelson plays and loops trombones, while Patton plays Moog bass pedals and drums.  A warm sound ensues, enough perhaps to melt the snow on the cover.  The larger surprise

House of Cosy Cushions ~ Spell

House of Cosy Cushions is a collective in the mold of FareWell Poetry, including a leader, a core group of musicians, and a rotating cast of guests.  Richard Bolhuis’ labor of love is difficult to categorize.  The cover is blurry
