Glenn Jones ~ Fleeting

One can’t help but notice Glenn Jones‘ unified cover aesthetic: a finger-picking cat, a finger-picking squirrel, a finger-picking four-leaf clover (our favorite), a finger-picking dog, and now a finger-picking hare (although this may be the same finger-picking hare as seen on

Matmos ~ Ultimate Care II

I’m doing laundry while listening to Matmos‘ latest album.  Why is this significant?  Because Ultimate Care II is comprised purely of sounds taken from a Whirlpool Washing Machine.  Upstairs and downstairs, my house is rocking, providing a multi-dimensional experience. Most people have noticed

ACL 2015: Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

If there was any doubt about our pick of Constellation Records as our Label of the Year, this feature should prove it, as three of our Top Ten picks come from their stable.  GY!BE continues to cast a long shadow.

ACL 2015: The Happiest Music of the Year

Let’s face it, 2015 was a tough year for Planet Earth.  Terrorists attacked, politicians argued, and the climate continued to destabilize.  There has never been a better time for happy music, and thankfully, we’ve got a great selection right here!

Wrekmeister Harmonies ~ Night of Your Ascension

The brilliance of Wrekmeister Harmonies continues to shine on Night of Your Ascension.  J.R. Robinson has become a master (if not the master) of dynamic contrast, and a cast of 30 guest musicians is on hand here to help him realize his vision.  These

Lightning Bolt ~ Fantasy Empire

Lightning Bolt have returned with one of their best albums yet, a pop-surrealist force that revels in the broken, expansive conquest of any and all space by hyperactive imaginations. Delivered by means of a different kind of punk than before

Peals ~ Seltzer

Peals has never sounded like the work of two bass players (Future Islands’ William Cashion and Double Dagger’s Bruce Willen).  2013 debut Walking Field demonstrated a wide variety of influences, from ambient to surf rock, while showcasing the talents of cellist Kate
