Crimson Mourn ~ Bring Your Desires Here
Crimson Mourn is only 18 years old, but 18 is not too young to produce quality music. Bring Your Desires Here is already the artist’s second album, and its best parts are better than much of the post-rock on the market.

Talvihorros | Damian Valles ~ Monuments and Ruins
The wonderful Textura label produces few releases; the last was Mains de Givre’s Esther Marie in 2010. Every disc is a labor of love, and Monuments and Ruins is no exception. The album provides a platform for the work of two highly-regarded artists, whose

EUS, Postdrome & Saåad ~ Sustained Layers
There’s a lot of good music being released these days on limited edition cassette, and Sustained Layers is among the best. The physical-digital divide is fully exposed when a recording as solid as this receives a press run of only 66; after

Pietro Riparbelli ~ Three Days of Silence
The monastic life remains inscrutable to those outside the conclaves. No matter how many films or books cover the subject, the internal, contemplative path can only be experienced through participation. In an effort to understand the isolated, yet strangely communal

Fabio Orsi ~ The New Year Is Over
It takes a generous label to offer an artist the opportunity to release a triple-disc set, and Silentes does just that with The New Year Is Over – nine songs on three discs from the prolific Fabio Orsi. The cover may lead

Steven R. Hess + mise_en_scene ~ Non-Distinction
“These tracks should be enjoyed with headphones, preferably in the evening hours with as little light as possible.” These instructions from Steven R. Hess (Pan American, Locrian, Cleared, Haptic) are wise, because Non-Distinction, his new project with Shay Nassi (mise_en_scene) is a calming

Various Artists ~ Somewhere on the edge
