Lullatone ~ while winter whispers
The third of Lullatone‘s seasonal-themed EPs is their best yet. At 25 minutes, it’s also their longest, edging up to the length of an album. Perhaps this is due to the introspective nature of the season; one has fewer distractions, and

Orla Wren ~ Soil Steps
With Soil Steps, Oak Art Editions completes its hat trick of releasing three fine albums in one day. The more astonishing fact about this trio of releases is that they relate like interlocking boxes. 12 minutes into Orla Wren‘s single-track Soil Steps, one

London Wake ~ Sleepmix
A Closer Listen is proud to introduce London Wake, a U.K. producer whose debut album is scheduled for fall. This beautiful, beatless mix (save for a bit at the end) is a lovely blend of influences new and old, and will

Hollow Press ~ In Your Nature
Shaun McNamara’s first instrumental release since Heads in Dust is a triple threat: 1) Cause (all proceeds go to the Greyhound Rescue organization); 2) Packaging (the disc comes with an original zine) and 3) Music (even better than the last). In Your

Johnny Kember ~ Sing Away Sorrow
Sing Away Sorrow may be subtitled A Study in Modular Synthesis Vol. 1, but don’t be fooled; there is more here than the title indicates. The tape may start with theremin-like tones, but by the time it ends, the artist has wandered

We Stood Like Kings ~ Berlin 1927
Once upon a time, there was rock. And then there was post-rock, cinematic in nature. And then certain bands started to discover a natural pairing of post-rock with silent film. No more would they need to describe their music as

Nicola Di Croce ~ Fieldnotes
Oak Editions’ second release of the month contains parallels to its first. Pietro Riparbelli’s album began with the sound of wood; Nicola Di Croce‘s begins with glass. Riparbelli’s special edition contains a sculpture, Di Croce’s a risograph. The former release recalls

Sketches for Albinos ~ Fireworks and the Dead City Radio
Sketches for Albinos has been quiet for four years, but Matthew Collings has not; he’s been recording under his own name. Fireworks and the Dead City Radio is the artist’s piece of unfinished business, a deeply personal record that fell into
