Wil Bolton ~ Quiet Sunlight
The acorns and leaves are piling up, and the yellow, orange and red hues have faded to a muted brown. Filtered sunlight is shining through the foliage that remains. Flocks are flying overhead; on the ground, the squirrels are burying

Yoo Doo Right ~ From the Heights of Our Pastureland
A telling Exclaim! quote rests atop Yoo Doo Right‘s Bandcamp page, referring to the trio as a part of “Montréal post-rock royalty.” This quote, combined with references to GY!BE and an 8mm video, honors the unquestioned rulers of the post-rock

Francisco López ~ HIMAVANTA: environmental sound matter from Thailand’s forests
In 2020, Francisco López released a 12-hour, 138-track set celebrating 40 years of sound art. This year, he has released an 11-hour album; so one might say his albums are getting shorter. A better way to put it would be to
