Elskavon ~ Origins
Twin forces of time and nature permeate Elskavon‘s latest recording, musically as well as thematically. We’ve enjoyed having “North Sole” (a simultaneous pun on “Pole” and “Soul”) to play this winter, met by its summer-like companion, “Coastlines.” The first tumbles as

Hollie Kenniff ~ We All Have Places That We Miss
As other reviewers have observed, the pandemic still casts a long shadow over life, even as it becomes officially moved to the ‘something we have to live with’ category rather than a widespread disruption to everyday life. There is now,

ACL 2021 ~ The Top 20 Albums of the Year
If 2020 was the most surreal year in recent memory, 2021 was the runner-up. A rollercoaster of emotion was supplanted by a mountain of malaise. And yet, many artists broke through with the finest albums of their careers. Some of

Hollie Kenniff ~ The Quiet Drift
A perfectly titled album from one ambient music’s leaders, The Quiet Drift makes the perfect ending to a long, hard day ~ or perhaps to a long, hard season. Hollie Kenniff seems to want nothing more than to soothe, which she accomplishes through
