Extra Life ~ The Sacred Vowel
From the outset, we are faced with an interesting decision on the part of a band known for its challenging, unique musical imaginary: a lullaby. Extra Life has done this before, in 2012’s Dream Seeds, but this time around it

BP Moore ~ The Practice of Suffering & Monaro
If albums are novels, EPs are short stories: a good one is concise and its meaning clear as glass. Here are two short EPs by multi-instrumentalist and composer BP Moore, whose gorgeous 2021 album If I Don’t See You Again and its equally compelling 2022 reworks collection have previously caught our attention.

*Press A* ~ Hundred Days
Tumult Kollektiv’s latest soundtrack proves just how much the group is willing to grow and expand in terms of artistic vision. Where 2019’s Pine was a tight, lush impressionist landscape, Hundred Days is relaxed, indulgent in melodies straight out of
