BOW ~ S/T
If you’ve heard Stars of the Lid, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Echo Collective, Jóhann Jóhannsson, or Christina Vantzou, you’ve likely heard members of BOW. This string quintet may be new, but the participants are no strangers to collaboration. Their debut

Silk Saw ~ Nothing Is Finished / Everything Starts
Only a few days ago, I wrote that I had been far less interested in harsh music as of late. Then the protests, riots and looting began. Now I’m in the mood! So today’s review covers a dense album from

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Tlamess (Sortilège)
Oiseaux-Tempête returns to its instrumental strength with Tlamess (Sortilège), the score to a Tunisian film about a soldier who leaves the war upon learning of his mother’s death. Directed by Ala Eddine Slim, the film has been making the festival rounds

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ AL-‘AN ! الآن
It may seem strange for an instrumental site to be interested in lyrics, but the primarily instrumental Parisian collective Oiseaux-Tempête has always been political, and today’s political climate is more charged than ever. How would they react on their new album?

Keiji Haino / Jozef Dumoulin / Teun Verbruggen ~ The Miracles of Only One Thing
With an arcane name typical of Keiji Haino works, this collaboration involving Belgian improvisers Jozef Dumoulin (Fender Rhodes & electronics) and Teun Verbruggen (drums & electronics) draws together live and studio cuts that help create a sense of visceral, yet

Pauline Oliveros & Musiques Nouvelles ~ Four Meditations / Sound Geometries

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Unworks and Rarities
Parisian collective Oiseaux-Tempête follows Re-Works with Unworks & Rarities, an shorter-than-usual album, but without filler.
