ACL 2018 ~ Top Ten Drone

In terms of ACL submissions, drone took a back seat to ambient this year.  But when we did hear drone albums, we loved them.  As we reported a year ago, drone artists received a surge of inspiration after the Brexit/Trump votes and

Enno Voss ~ Currents

A recent Bud Light ad portrays a commoner in a stockade.  His crime:  ordering an “autumnal mead.”  The tagline:  “For the many, not the few.”  I sympathize with the commoner, because I’m one of the few; I like things to

Four years have passed since Memum‘s fall-themed EP Became a Leaf; now David Georgos has released a spring album to balance it.  Played back-to-back, the releases tell the story of a year, the new set inspired by “the delicacy and grace of

Himmelsrandt ~ 4 Moments & Rain (With Track Premiere!)

Timothy Fairless ~ Plural

The second time’s the charm for Timothy Fairless, as he follows last year’s 4-track, 27-minute EP with a 4-track, 29-minute EP.  Measurement laid the groundwork for Plural, a unified work that could fall into any one of our seven categories, a rare
