Mark Templeton ~ Jealous Heart

If you think you know Mark Templeton, guess again.  The artist does not have a signature sound; he changes palettes from album to album.  His promising electronic debut, Standing on a Hummingbird, was followed by the more vocal Inland and then by the more

Sujo ~ Repent

Very few artists can release multiple recordings in a single year and retain our attention, but Ryan Huber (Sujo, Olekranon, Vopat) is one of them.  His multi-genre approach is a key factor; by straddling the fields of post-rock and drone,

Markus Mehr ~ Off

Marcus Mehr‘s Off is the concluding element in an ambitious trilogy.  In and On, reviewed here in 2012, are vastly different in style, but set the stage for a grand finale.  Now that all three pieces have been released, listeners can see how and

In a Sleeping Mood ~ Diluted Sounds

The concept is simple: “365 sonic sketches, one a day for a year, each supported by an image, a video or a text”.  Many artists have attempted such projects, but few have even made it to February.  The London-based duo In

Darren Harper ~ Passages for the Listless and Tired

Colorado’s Darren Harper was last featured here on Home, a collaboration with Jared Smyth on Flaming Pines.  Listening again to that evocative release, one can now theorize which parts might have been Harper’s and which parts might have belonged to Smyth.  For example,
