Bridemaids’ Autumn was released just before the world took an even darker turn, and as such, its message is perfect for the season.  Loosely based on the parable of the ten bridesmaids from Matthew 25, the album suggests that some are

Ben Lukas Boysen ~ Alta Ripa

After 20 years in Berlin, Ben Lukas Boysen began to think about the “youthful musical language” that he spoke in the first 20 years of his life in Altrip, on the left bank of the Rhine.  Alta Ripa is the town’s Roman

Per Störby Jutbring ~ Tenants of Misty Mansion (According to the Landlord)

Five years have passed since The Thief Bunny Society, whose animated title track imitated a children’s book, with a flying whale, a bunny on a motorbike and a pernicious lynx.  In the videos from Tenants of Misty Mansion (According to

Whale Fall ~ Five

It took exactly one minute and five seconds for me to like this album: right at the 65-second mark, J. Matt Greenburg’s Morricone trumpet enters and lifts the music to a remarkable early height. This is the first of many

Murcof ~ Twin Color (vol. I)

The best part of Twin Color (vol. I) is that the title promises a vol. II.  Only a month ago, we included Murcof‘s Remembranza in our list of favorite fall albums; the new set recalls that fall feeling, earth-toned and atmospheric, an ode to

Philip Jeck ~ rpm

rpm is a long, slow, generous farewell to a beloved composer from the label and artists who loved him.  We thought last year’s Oxmardyke might be Philip Jeck‘s coda, as many of the recordings were made at his bedside; as such, rpm arrives as

Lara Sarkissian ~ Remnants

At the end of his review of Lara Sarkissian‘s Born of the Sea EP in June of this year, Damian Van Denburgh wrote, “Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another five years to see what’s next.”  We didn’t have to wait

Diane Barbé ~ musiques tourbes

musiques tourbes (bog musics) is more than just an act of field recording; Diane Barbé‘s album is also an example of “field remembering” and recreation.  Divided between natural soundscape compositions and musical reflections, the album explores sounds that are often unheard
