Le Poisson d’Argent ~ YOUTH EP
This Montreal EP sounds different than it looks, but given the world’s recent fascination with zombies, one can hardly begrudge the visuals. If we had only seen the titles (“Early Mornings”, “Boredom”, “Tree”) and heard the music (a lovely blend

Public Service Broadcasting ~ Inform – Educate – Entertain
Summer’s guilty pleasure comes from Southampton duo Public Service Broadcasting, the rare ACL band to appear on the pop charts and to receive widespread mainstream attention. The duo comes across as an odd blend of Coldcut and iLiKETRAiNS, in that they

Philippe Lamy, Jérémie Mathes and Jannick Shou ~ taâlem Tri-Pack
The taâlem label has been quiet for nine months, long enough to have a baby; and now the label has given birth to triplets. These three 20-minute CD-R3″s continue in the family tradition of open-ended experimentalism, and are sure to

PAS Musique ~ Abandoned Bird Egg

Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds ~ In Passing
The most common comment made about instrumental music is that it “sounds like a soundtrack”. Some of Steve Gibbs & Cyrus Reynolds‘ music already is a soundtrack, gracing the entrancing short film “Where am I”. David Dang’s film makes a great advertisement

Last year James Murray impressed us with the elegant Floods, an aural reflection of the rising and receding waters that annually threatened his childhood home. This time around, his subject is more general, but more relatable: “patience, devotion and loss”. That last word

Luke Howard ~ Sun, Cloud
A lovely album from start to finish, Sun, Cloud is at times achingly beautiful, a reflection of its title and its launching point. Luke Howard is also the name of the meteorologist who classified the clouds; this composer shares his name while translating
