Murcof ~ Twin Color (vol. I)

The best part of Twin Color (vol. I) is that the title promises a vol. II.  Only a month ago, we included Murcof‘s Remembranza in our list of favorite fall albums; the new set recalls that fall feeling, earth-toned and atmospheric, an ode to

Philip Jeck ~ rpm

rpm is a long, slow, generous farewell to a beloved composer from the label and artists who loved him.  We thought last year’s Oxmardyke might be Philip Jeck‘s coda, as many of the recordings were made at his bedside; as such, rpm arrives as

Diane Barbé ~ musiques tourbes

Wil Bolton ~ Quiet Sunlight

The acorns and leaves are piling up, and the yellow, orange and red hues have faded to a muted brown.  Filtered sunlight is shining through the foliage that remains.  Flocks are flying overhead; on the ground, the squirrels are burying
