Makunouchi Bento ~ Rinbo
This unassuming little release is one of the most original recordings of the year, a follow-up to 2010’s highly eclectic Swimé. Rinbo is no less eclectic, but is far more accessible, and has a great starting point: the stories of four Japanese

Black Polygons ~ Black Polygons
Paris’ Black Polygons (Cyril Rampal) follows his succinct 2011 self-titled EP (3 tracks, 6 minutes) with a longer self-titled album (13 tracks, 25 minutes). These are exactly the sort of tracks one yearns for when making mix tapes: high quality, high energy
