Richard Garet ~ Decentering

When most artists think of “damaged, demagnetized, decayed or scratched” tapes, they think of a cassette consigned to the garbage heap.  When Uruguay’s Richard Garet encounters the same product, he thinks of art, and if the tape seems too intact,

Sujo ~ Eilat

Let’s get the obvious observation out of the way first.  Sujo‘s Eilat may be a Quiet World release, but it sure ain’t quiet.  After a minute of low end hum, cascading crumbles of radio interference begin to crash the party.

Terje Paulsen and Ákos Garai ~ Vertikale Skift

An initial look at the digital download implies that the tracks are out of order: five “Skisse” tracks from Norway’s Terje Paulsen interspersed with four “Waterworks” tracks from Hungary’s Ákos Garai, founder of the 3leaves label.  And yet to separate the

Lullatone ~ Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures

The timbre of Lullatone has always been positive and upbeat, and one imagines the same is true of the personalites of Shawn James Seymour and his wife Yoshimi.  2009’s lullaby collection Songs that Spin in Circles was a beautiful gift to

Star Turbine ~ Equilibrium

Striate Cortex’s 44th release is a quality keepsake, a double CD3″ cushioned in a little black box.  The color is aptly chosen; Equilibrium calls to mind the wheezing of iron lungs, the gurgling of scuba equipment and the squeal of

Ólafur Arnalds ~ Living Room Songs
