Wixel ~ Revox Tapes
The digital submission was sitting in the in-box, but I had already ordered the cassette. “Wait for the tape!” implored Jordskred’s Louis Reith. And he was right. Revox Tapes is a tape about tapes; to listen to this release in any other fashion

Matthew Dotson ~ Revolution / Circumvention
Last year, Chicago’s Matthew Dotson released a little cassette called Excavation, which was simultaneously creative, promising, maddening, and memorable.
