Delphine Dora ~ A Stream of Consciousness
Solo pianists can come across as dry and removed or playful and ebullient. When a single instrument plays for the length of an album, it’s better to be the latter. This is what we’ve come to expect from Delphine Dora, who

Motion ~ The Drowned World
For the past few days, New York has been in the midst of a heat wave, and I’ve been waiting for a break ~ a cool, overcast, rainy day in which to review The Drowned World. The smooth modern jazz/Necks-like post-rock

Esther Burns ~ The Genius of the Crowd
Of all the entertainment arts, poetry may be the least appreciated. Film, TV, music, other literature, even painting and sculpture seem to have wide audiences. Poetry, not so much. Some households may claim an anthology or two, but books of

Bengalfuel ~ Roeblin
The latest effort from Bengalfuel is quiet, slow, and unrelentingly sad. When I’ve been sad, it’s been sad with me, restrained and unassuming, an attentive companion. But when I’ve been happy, it’s still been sad, threatening to bring me down,

Endless Melancholy ~ Music for Quiet Mornings
When reading the track titles, one can’t help but think of the year-end lists created by Headphone Commute: “A Song For Watching Snowfalls”, “A Song For The Morning Star”, “A Song For Dreaming”. Ukraine’s Oleksil Sakevych (Endless Melancholy) presents a

Rad Wolf ~ Blanket Arms
To our older (and cooler) readers: did you ever get a mixtape? Not a burned disc, not a forwarded playlist, but a personally made, somewhat clunky, entirely endearing little present from a friend or loved one? If so, you remember

This fighting lion is more of a happy, confident lion, saying “Put ’em up, put ’em up” in a playful fashion. After all, who in their right mind would want to fight with a lion? That’s why most lions get
