The Big Ship ~ A Circle Is Forever

When two review sites approach the same album from different angles, their opinions can be quite divergent. Such is the case with A Circle Is Forever, which starts with the words, “I fell across a rabbit, I fell across a rabbit,

Umber ~ Sunshine Young

We’d like to think that when it comes to instruments, we don’t play favorites ~ but we do.  Seeing that Alex Steward (Umber) has included violinist Sophie Green (Her Name Is Calla) on two tracks makes a difference even before we’ve listened

Antarte ~ Olio su tela

It’s a good thing we listen to more than a single track before deciding on a review, because Olio su tela (Oil on Canvas) begins with acoustic guitar and clear, romantic vocals: not our sort of album at all.  But by the end of

Insect Ark ~ Long Arms

Geweih Ritual Documents just have signed another worthy artist, Brooklyn-based Dana Schechter, also known as Insect Ark.  Her latest 10″ arrives on the heels of a two-track 7″, but while that record held a vocal track, the new release is entirely

Sam Gillies ~ Warning Tones

We last encountered Perth composer Sam Gillies on the Music for Computers EP and Cycle~ 440 album, but this new work goes far beyond those in ambition, scope and execution.  The concept is simple: to create a sonic document of human reactions to natural

Date Palms ~ The Dusted Sessions

The Dusted Sessions follows “The Dust Bowl Theme”, one of the standout cuts on the compilation Your Victorian Breasts, reviewed here earlier this year.  That languid desert piece finds its echo on “Dusted Down”, which to no one’s surprise is one of

Katsura Mouri & Tim Olive ~ Various Histories

“Turntables and metals” is a unique descriptor.  The turntables are the domain of Katsura Mouri, while the metals – struck, stroked, manipulated – belong to Tim Olive.  These two sources played together sound wholly unique.  As most turntables are made of metal,
