Films ~ a forbidden garden
When one sees both Takahiro Kido and Yuki Marata among the band members, one wonders, “is Films an offshoot of Anoice?” The answer is yes, but Films is more of a first cousin than a sibling or a child. The strings form

Jared Smith ~ Fjall
As might be intuited from the title, much of Fjall was recorded in Reykjavik, with tender textures added from Tallahassee. (Okay, that last part might be a surprise.) On this album, Jared Smith continues to contribute the homespun weavings that made last year’s Home,

Sabri Meddeb ~ Between dawn and dusk
We last encountered the Belgian sound artist Sabri Meddeb as one-third of the international Hokuro. Between dawn and dusk is Meddeb’s latest solo effort, recorded at night beneath a full moon. The set consists of three pieces: two field recording works that bracket

Tiago Sousa ~ Samsara
The teaching of samsara, or “continuous flow”, is that a spiritual cycle of birth, death and rebirth haunts all of creation. A beautiful 2012 documentary of the same name loosely translates the concept to cinema, albeit with heavy moral implications.

Deison/Galan ~ Cayendo
Italy’s Deison has been recording for decades, and is still experimenting with new ideas. He’s never settled into a single mode of recording or focused on a single genre. This creative restlessness has worked to his advantage. Cayendo doesn’t sound like any of

Cindytalk ~ A Life Is Everywhere
The trajectory of Cindytalk is one of the most unusual stories in music. The band was originally a vocal duo fronted by Gordon Sharp, who also contributed vocals to a pair of This Mortal Coil albums in the mid-80s. After a run
