SAICOBAB ~ Sab Se Purani Bab
When noise legend YoshimiO joined up with fellow Japanese musician Yoshida Daikiti’s project PSYCHOBABA in the early 2000’s, they decided to change the name to SAICOBABA. Phonetically, it’s still the same word, but then the meaning changed radically, from something

ACL 2016: The Top 20 Albums of the Year
The last album we reviewed this year ended up being the best ~ in light of the title, a fitting end. Our cover image is taken from its lead video; the actress seems to be giving the album a closer listen.

ACL 2016: Top Ten Rock and Post-Rock
As autumn approached, we were worried; where were all the good rock and post-rock albums? But at the end of the year, they entered in a flurry. What began as a disappointing year turned out to be incredibly solid ~

ACL 2016: Top Ten Experimental
Here’s our fun section; few will be able to predict the contents. Haunted ballrooms, washing machines, stuttered poetry and mythological black dogs all find their place under the experimental umbrella. Some people may call this “different” or “difficult” music; we

Radian ~ On Dark Silent Off
Radian announces itself with a squelch and a blur. It’s been seven years, and where has the time gone? Soon those big beats (and we do mean BIG) hit their stride, the beeps bounce like water in a Jurassic Park puddle, and

Wrekmeister Harmonies ~ Light Falls
Wrekmeister Harmonies has scored as high as #2 on one of ACL’s year-end charts; Godspeed You! Black Emperor has hit #1. So what in the world are the two of these artists doing together? It’s just not fair! The GY!BE

Helen Money ~ Becoming Zero
The fourth solo album for rock cellist Alison Chesley (Helen Money), Becoming Zero is more melancholic than its predecessors, and for good reason: the album was recorded after the death of her parents. The stages of grief are apparent here, in particular

Marielle V Jakobsons ~ Star Core
Four years have passed since Glass Canyon, yet Date Palms/darwinsbitch veteran Marielle V Jakobsons hasn’t lost a step; on Star Core, she makes a calm yet triumphant return. The album is soothing, meditative, psychedelic and transportive. The occasional addition of voice hearkens back to the
