V/A ~ FFFour KMSU

Even in the internet age, college radio is one of the best places to discover truly exciting music.  The DJs tend to have eclectic tastes and are able to select their own set lists, unbeholden to labels and payola scandals.

Weerthof ~ Out of Control

Out of Control is a completely bonkers idea that works: a USB stick cooked into a bar of soap.  The concept is fun, the music is engaging and the soap makes a great show-and-tell item.  Netherlands artist Michiel van de Weerthof

Ulises Conti ~ Atlas

Argentinian composer Ulises Conti has been extremely active over the last decade, working in theatre, dance and film.  For fans, Atlas (2003-2013) is a wonderful compendium of his work to date; for newcomers, it’s a worthy introduction.  Japan’s Flau label may not have

Bas van Huizen ~ Zwelg

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Netherlands composer Bas van Huizen. Zwelg marks a triumphant return after a period of silence.  While the milk of drone remains, the artist’s ambient tendencies have risen to the top like cream.  Zwelg may be

Cormac Faulkner ~ Topophilia

With a name like Cormac Faulkner, it’s no surprise that the Coventry artist displays a literary bent.  The rare lyrics found on Topophilia include a quote from Joyce and a song based on a centuries-old broadside.  Earlier this year, the artist teamed up

Aderlating ~ Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone, Part Two

Two years ago, Maurice de Jong (Gnaw Their Tongues) and Eric Eijspaart (Mowlawner) released the first part of Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone.  Their follow-up seemed a given, in that the album title and one of the tracks were numbered.  But fans
