Halvcirkel & Anders Lauge Meldgaard ~ Spirit
Spirit reunites Copenhagen composer Anders Lauge Meldgaard with string trio Halvcirkel, following the År & Dag collaboration Fragment 94. But something’s a little different this time; violinist Pernille Kristiansen is on parental leave (congratulations!) and Meldgaard is stepping up on New Ondomo, billed

Hekla ~ Turnar
Turnar may contain glimmers of sunlight, but it is not a daylight album; this is music for the depths of night and the soul, music of desolation and heartfelt prayer, music for long winters yearning for spring. Partially recorded in

Zoë Mc Pherson ~ Upside Down
The beats seldom stop on Zoë Mc Pherson‘s latest record, and the energy never flags. And yet the artist has more on their mind than dancing; Mc Pherson also calls out stark indictments of the “neoliberal war machine” and the

Gellért Szabó’s Ideal Orchestra ~ Live at Berghain
Words to describe Live at Berghain: pummeling, overwhelming, emotional. And yet also: tender, restrained, thoughtful. The cover image suggests desolation and loss, the track titles religion, war, heroism. How can a set be all these things at once? The one-hour concert from

Evan Gildersleeve ~ Wake
Everything about Evan Gildersleeve‘s new album is open to interpretation, from the title (Wake as in awakening, or the wake preceding a funeral) to the impressionistic cover to the music, which shifts from beats to drone, instrumental to choral. Purposefully existential, Wake invites listeners

Joni Void ~ Every Life Is A Light
Montréal’s Joni Void has created a universe in which time collapses in on itself. Every Life Is A Light begins in mid-loop, an indication of its nature. The album is a treasure trove of tapes and effects, crate digging and mind

Kronos Quartet & Mary Kouyoumdjian ~ WITNESS
We last encountered Mary Kouyoumdjian with 2 Suitcases, which told the story of a couple fleeing the Lebanese Civil War. The subject is greatly expanded on WITNESS, which pairs the composer with Kronos Quartet. We consider this a major work: startlingly relevant, meticulously researched

Valotihkuu ~ Drifting Between Seasons
It’s been too long since we’ve heard from Valotihkuu, who makes his welcome return with Drifting Between Seasons. The timing is perfect; while we have already launched the month of March and its meteorological spring, astronomical spring is still three weeks
