The Holocene ~ The Messel Pit Tapes / eis
His wife thinks it sounds like angry bees and his mum thinks it sounds like a hoover, but Peter Hamlin’s looped drones are music to us. We do, however, realize that we are unusual people. The benefit in being unusual

subzar ~ i am not yet here
One of two things can happen when a band makes the transition from one genre of music to another (in this case, post-rock to modern composition) and shares the intermediate results: horrible wreckage or, in this case, gorgeous allure. subzar (a

William Ryan Fritch ~ Kaleidoscope
Just when we thought we’d heard all the great music released in 2012, another one comes along. To be fair, this 31-minute track was released on Christmas Day, serving as a present to fans as well as a celebration of

Loud & Sad ~ Unknown Species
Unknown Species is the perfect name for this record. It’s a little bit ambient, a little bit drone, and a little bit electronic; it features a banjo; and thanks to the cover image, it might also be considered post-rock (get it?).

Matthew Collings ~ Splintered Instruments
Splintered Instruments calls to mind a seemingly unintentional question: “Why don’t we listen to pop music?” By we, I mean those reading this review, and by listen, I mean primarily ~ as there’s no escape from the popular tunes of the day. The

Johann G. Winther ~ I Have a Heaven Ending and Weaving Thin Threads of Darkness from the Light that Was Given
Post-rockers and Fiona Apple, beware: Johann G. Winther is coming at you with the essay-length title of his latest work. If reading the album title seems a bit awkward, then it also seems fitting that the cassette is released on Awkward

Various Artists ~ Your Victorian Breasts
Here’s a welcome oddity, a double-vinyl potpourri of demos, live tracks, collaborations, unreleased gems and genre-splicing originals. Unfortunately it’s not polite to mention the album’s title or inspiration (a Supreme Dicks song) in public. Mention to Grandma that this is
