Chris Watson ~ In St. Cuthbert’s Time
We usually recommend the physical copy due to its specific beauty, but in this case, we do so because of the liner notes. Students of history, tradition, and religion will cherish the efforts made by the authors to place this

Pillowdiver ~ Bloody Oath
Nick Pittsinger’s time-stretched demolition of Justin Bieber’s “U Smile” drew a great deal of attention a few years ago, sounding to many like the work of Sigur Rós. Pillowdiver‘s newest outing travels a similar path. René Margraff’s subject (or target) is a

Rezo Glonti ~ Late Night Diving
Context is key. When listening to “Soviet White”, the standout track on Rezo Glonti‘s new EP, one might begin to feel a sense of unease. Volume and thickness increase as a drone rises to overtake the vinyl crackle. All is about

Earthen Sea / Insect Factory ~ Split
One part ambient drone, one part abrasion and one part melodic guitar, Earthen Sky / Insect Factory‘s split LP offers a variety of sounds to its listeners, each designed for a different mood. One might consider this a yin and yang

Uton / Sunhiilow ~ Garden & Cosmos (Split)
Three layers of styrofoam, paper and tape protected my copy of Garden & Cosmos, a sign of careful packaging, intimating a precise approach to music. I didn’t get a sea star (missed it by just 4!) but that’s okay ~

Aloonaluna / Motion Sickness of Time Travel ~ Split
Collage is the key word for understanding this release. First there’s Michael Tunk’s cover art, which attracted us in the first place. Then there’s the label’s gallery page dedicated to the craft. Now add the surreal and beguiling art of Lynn

Le Poisson d’Argent ~ YOUTH EP
This Montreal EP sounds different than it looks, but given the world’s recent fascination with zombies, one can hardly begrudge the visuals. If we had only seen the titles (“Early Mornings”, “Boredom”, “Tree”) and heard the music (a lovely blend

Public Service Broadcasting ~ Inform – Educate – Entertain
Summer’s guilty pleasure comes from Southampton duo Public Service Broadcasting, the rare ACL band to appear on the pop charts and to receive widespread mainstream attention. The duo comes across as an odd blend of Coldcut and iLiKETRAiNS, in that they
