The Cloisters ~ The Cloisters

Michael Tanner has had a busy year and has been covered frequently on these pages, although only the most astute readers might have noticed.  In addition to recording under his own name, Tanner is also known as Plinth and The Cloisters,

Sylvain Chauveau ~ Simple

How long does it take to break a person’s heart through music?  Does it take  the length of a symphony, an opera, an album?  Sylvain Chauveau proves that it can be done in under two minutes, a revelation to many, a

Plantagenet 3 ~ The Darkening Green

Imagine a crazy summer surf kicked up by an offshore wind, waves tumbling over each other until the sea is a froth of foam.  Now imagine a pasta boat overturning in the breakers, dislodging its noodles, which then begin to

Troy Schafer ~ Supreme Happiness Forever

An odd note about experimental music: we often support an artist’s desire to go all-out atonal avant-garde, dissonance shrieking from warring strings, once we know that the artist doesn’t have to go this route.  In other words, once an artist

Peter Toll ~ movement (holkham)

When listening to pure, unadulterated field recordings, the conscious mind is aware that it is hearing history rather than composition.  The fallow deer steps and honking mating calls of “movement (holkham) #1” are no studio creation; they unfold in real

Sunwølf ~ Beyond the Sun

It’s hard these days to launch a band, especially a post-rock band, and to get noticed.  Maybe it helps to define one’s sound as “stoner ambient drone”, the tag that Sunwølf has chosen to summarize its work.  But there’s something different

Ef ~ Delusions of Grandeur

After six years, it’s safe to say that Gothenburg’s Ef has proven to be the rare post-rock band with staying power.  They’ve done so by creating a distinct sound that at one time was a blend of Efterklang and Sigur Rós, but

Atay Ilgun & Alper Yildirim ~ Aokigahara, The Black Sea of Trees

This is the first appearance on our site for Wounded Wolf Press, a small Turkish imprint that releases lovely handmade music wrapped in folded prints.  It’s also a perfect example of why our site exists.  If we had never founded
