Nurse With Wound and Graham Bowers ~ Rupture
One hour, three minutes and thirty seconds of death: that’s one way to describe Rupture, and in this case, the description is literal. This concept album seeks to “create a musical illustration” of the dying brain following a stroke; and

Leila ~ U&I
Eleven years ago, Fischerspooner stunned the club world with “Emerge”. Electroclash was born! And then a few months later, it was forgotten. Leila‘s fourth album attempts to bring it back for yet another generation, and in some aspects, it succeeds.

Craig Vear ~ ESK
“River Esk, Frozen”, recorded at the North Yorkshire Coast, was one of the highlights of Aud Ralph Roas’le. Craig Vear‘s follow-up moves further up the coastline, tracing the river “from source to sea”. The result is a sound sculpture with

Shy, Low ~ Shy, Low
Fluttery Records loves classic post-rock: ambient builds, dialogue breakdowns, thick crescendoes. Shy, Low (a play on “Shiloh”, the former capital of Israel) is its latest discovery. This Richmond band gets right into it with “Confirmation Bias” (that’s Alec Baldwin in

The New Law ~ The Fifty Year Storm
“Would you like some trumpet and guitar on your electronic album?” “I would love some trumpet and guitar!” And so The Fifty Year Storm begins, with sonic thunder and lightning; “I’ve Seen Some Mean Faces” is the album highlight, a jam

Listening Mirror ~ Resting in Aspic
Listening to Resting in Aspic is like taking a long, slow stroll through the timeline of modern ambient music, beginning with Budd and Eno and ending in the modern day. When those two luminaries began their work, their recordings operated

Pawn ~ Glimmer of Sunlight
When Tone Sketch was released last October, it bumped Glimmer of Sunlight straight to 2012. This turns out to have been a smart decision, as the two releases might otherwise have competed against each other. The earlier album was more vocal-centric; Glimmer of
