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

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!
