Laura Cannell & Rhodri Davies ~ Feathered Swing of the Raven
Recorder and harp is not a combination we’ve previously encountered, so it might be fair to say that this is the best recorder and harp album we’ve ever heard. But it would also be fair to say that this is

Nicholas Bernier ~ Music for a Piano/Music for a Book
Many people describe instrumental music as being “cinematic” or as “the soundtrack to a movie that has never been made”. These commonplace nods to the largest entertainment industry ignore a more obvious description: the soundtrack to a book. As a

The Green Kingdom ~ Incidental Music
Incidental Music is one of the most relaxing albums we’ve heard in a while, inspiring a state of alert calm. This is the entire point of incidental music: the sounds used in movies to accompany important, less obvious scenes. These pieces

Vopat ~ Turbide
Before Sujo there was Vopat, a post-rock endeavor from Ryan Huber that exuded hints of the monstrous drone project that was to come. It’s been a while since the former beast reared its not-so-ugly head. Turbide is a celebration of that sound: rediscovered

Antoine Chessex ~ Dust
Sometimes we miss something at ACL. Not too often, and not for long. And we are very strict with our rules. So despite dozens of submissions from 2011, this is only the second we’ve accepted. The reasons: Dust is exceptional, and it hasn’t

Marie e le rose ~ Changes
Marie e le rose (Tuscan artist Rosa Marie Sarri) has written and produced a rather eclectic 5-track EP, calling on various traditions to present a unique but not uniform production. The pleasure is in hearing what she’ll do next; the drawback
