Akatombo ~ false positives
Hiroshima’s Akatombo (Paul T. Kirk, originally from Scotland) is a chronicler of urban disillusionment and decay. His beatscapes hearken back to the industrial pioneers of the mid-80s, but his sound is decidedly contemporary, a mix of drums, bass, bleached tones and samples

Ahleuchatistas ~ Heads Full of Poison
Rock improv fans will love Heads Full of Poison, album #7 from the forward-thinking Ahleuchatistas. While down to a duo, the band uses studio work to emit a sense of fullness. (It’s hard for one man to play many guitars at once!)

Night Shift ~ Trespasser’s Guide to Nowhere
Time Released Sound has done it again. After making a huge splash in 2011, the label has expanded far beyond its ambient beginnings and is now beginning to make waves in the experimental field. This marks a natural progression for

David Newlyn ~ The Misspelled Numbers EP
Vastly different from David Newlyn‘s Deterioration, reviewed here earlier this year, The Misspelled Numbers EP walks listeners into the autumn with “pastoral hums, voices in the rafters and other educational oddities”. Although it refers to school, the EP doesn’t sound like school; at least

Joe Frawley ~ A Hundred Years
Earlier this year, we reviewed Joe Frawley‘s 13 Houses and the Mermaid, a mesmerizing excursion into the mysteries of looped memory and long-buried trauma. While A Hundred Years shares some of the aspects of the prior release – spoken word, a twisted narrative, a

Golders Green ~ Suite n°2 in drone major (op.3)
A hard drive crash is responsible for one of the year’s most fascinating releases. If not for this technical disaster, Byron Christoloudou (Golders Green) would not have been forced to rewrite his material from scratch, and the best parts of

Kate Carr and Gail Priest ~ blue | green
We’ve seen a few color-based releases already this year; Machinefabriek’s Colour Tones included odes to green and blue, while Spheruleus’ Cyanometry looked at the various hues of the latter and Darren Hayman’s blue vinyl Lido dealt specifically with the blue of the British swimming pool. Last

Mike Shiflet ~ The Choir, The Army
Under the Spire jokes that Mike Shiflet has released a “quadrillion” works this year. While this is obviously an exaggeration, the artist is prolific enough to rival Celer and Machinefabriek in output. Luckily, the label is right to state that The Choir,
