Nienvox ~ Space Castles, Love Songs

When is a mixtape not a mixtape?  When it sounds like a mixtape, but is comprised of original sounds.  This is the case with Space Castles, Love Songs, a groovy, beat-tastic full-length from Russia’s Alexander Efimov, also known as Nienvox.  When listening,

Julia Kent ~ Character

This is the album that turns a corner for cellist Julia Kent.  This may be the last time we remind people she once played in Rasputina and Antony and the Johnsons.  Those facts really doesn’t matter anymore.  Following two previous albums

William Ryan Fritch ~ The Waiting Room OST

A great movie can inspire viewers to purchase the soundtrack; but this is the rare case in which a great soundtrack may inspire listeners to see the movie.  This would be a very good thing. The documentary has been nominated

Skye’s Diamond ~ Wolf EP

We don’t usually mention the ages of artists (and it’s not polite to ask!), but Tom Eves wants his listeners to know that he’s 21.  Okay, we’re impressed.  Not that we doubt the abilities of the younger generation; we’re just

Glorie ~ Falling EP

Glorie‘s self-titled 2011 debut introduced us to one of post-rock’s most promising new voices.  Two years later, the Memphis quintet’s follow-up continues the excitement.  The band’s most original aspect is the presence of two players on vibes, which meld sweetly

the volume settings folder ~ Ivan Hoe and Other Tales

Ivan Hoe and Other Tales may be one of the most ambitious projects to come our way, but it’s also one of the most successful: a complex multi-media project that entertains on many levels.  Even those unfamiliar with Sir Walter Scott’s

A-Sun Amissa ~ You Stood Up For Victory, We Stood Up For Less

This is a new species of beast.  A-Sun Amissa has drastically thickened its sound since Desperate in Her Heavy Sleep.  On the new album, the tracks are longer, the hope seems dimmer, the atmosphere has changed from filtered light to fog.
