Ana Never ~ Small Years

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Groan. Raise your hands if you are thoroughly tired of that cliche, especially in the context of another music review. It’s one of the old fallbacks of our net-dwelling kind, along with unfortunate

Gideon Wolf ~ Paper

Paper, the debut full-length release from London’s Gideon Wolf, opens subtly, with a bare, crisp piano hovering in a cloud of stark, minor key notes. You may think you have a clear idea where the piece is headed, but around

Leafy Suburbs / Sacred Flower Union ~ Split

The ‘influences’ game is a tricky one when it comes to music writing. Too often a critic depends on the lazy shorthand of ‘RIYL’ type writing, the ‘equal parts this, equal parts that’ school of music journalism where instead of

Pie Are Squared ~ Three Quarter Moon / Memories et Cetera

The new album from Mohammed Ashraf’s long-running Pie Are Squared project initially trades the maximal blips and beats of his past work for a more gentle, lulling approach. For those familiar with Pie’s output, it’s a surprising departure, though not

Re-exploring William Basinski’s The Disintegration Loops by Zachary Corsa Disintegration is a subtle, whispering, barely-realized theme of everything we do in life. It’s as finely woven into the textures of humanity as birth, creation, war, sex and love. Every day
