Garreth Broke ~ Conversations

With all the conversations taking place about A.I., it seems a natural time to have an actual conversation with an A.I.  Artificial intelligence should have the right to defend itself, not with M3gan and the Matrix, not with Skynet and chatbots, but

Matana Roberts ~ Coin Coin Chapter Five: In the Garden…

Matana Roberts is now twelve years into the Coin Coin project, one of the century’s most culturally important musical works.  With Chapter Five: In the Garden…, the artist continues to stun.  Chapter Five is audacious, confrontational, harrowing, mesmerizing, enrapturing and potentially transformational.  One

Lord of the Isles & Ellen Renton ~ My Noise Is Nothing

Have you ever danced to poetry?  If you went out clubbing last year and heard Lord of the Isles & Ellen Renton‘s sublime “Inheritance,” you probably have.  My Noise Is Nothing is like the finest multi-media poetry reading one might ever

Christopher Tignor ~ The Art of Surrender

The Art of Surrender bears the artist’s experiences in its musical notes.  If the percussion seems at times off-kilter and the violin morose; if the electronics bubble in like counterposed thoughts; if the tone ranges from melancholic to resolute, there’s a

Dark Sines ~ The Space Time Paradox

We are living in the last hours of summer; autumn will begin overnight.  To some, the solstice brings a welcome transition; to others, a loss.  Phil Cassella’s evocative cover photo portrays the dimmed light, a puddled path, umber leaves clinging

Odalie ~ Puissante Vulnérabilité

Can vulnerability be strength?  Mental health experts say so, yet warring forces stand their ground, political opponents discard compromise, and lovers refuse to apologize, as Black Lilys sings on the album’s first single, “poisoning the ground, polluting the air.”  In

Dronal ~ Whilst We Fall

The eye is fooled by the cover art, which  looks like striated clouds atop a striking sunset.  Yet what seems to be a photograph is “a graph provided by NASA’s Earth Observatory, measuring global temperature anomaly from 1880 to 2022

Spurv ~ Brefjære

Now this is how you make a rock album.  Five years on from Myra, one of our top post-rock albums of 2018, comes Brefjære, which improves on its already-excellent predecessor by pulling out all the stops.  The Norwegian sextet has added a string
