driveby ~ aSymmetry

Austria’s driveby pulls out all the stops on its ambitious new album, a 22-track opus whose bonus disc includes a dozen alternate takes and remixes.  Such ambition is rare for an instrumental progressive / post-rock band, demonstrating a bold confidence and an

Rejections ~ Resin in the Filter

The more Rejections we hear, the more we understand the moniker.  The artist’s last EP, The Vertical City, was based on J.G. Ballard’s dystopian High Rise; Resin in the Filter is based on the Tower of Babel.  Ironically, these two subjects converge in that both

Aquarelle ~ August Undone

Various Artists ~ Atrocious Symphonies Vol. II

Amiina ~ The Lighthouse Project

The four women of Amiina form one of music’s most endearing groups.  While they have played with Sigur Rós, they have formed a strong identity on their own, and their sound is distinctly theirs, a comforting blend of guitar, glockenspiel and strings that
