Album of the Week

Sharing music is one of life’s great joys. I hope you find something that tickles your fancy herein.

Something other is always more than welcome in Barn and Johnstown, PA-based Tatiana Triplin’s debut as Nondi_ on Planet Mu is just that.

Mystery seems in short supply these days and to my mind for no good reason.

Exit Simulation is the full-length debut of Niecy Blues and it arrives fully formed, wrapped in gossamer clouds of mystery.

Each record from Bristol, UK-based Tara Clerkin Trio is a polished gem.

Let’s get lost / Let them send out alarms.

One good thing about (some) music, when it hits you feel discomfort.

We’re traveling all the way back to 2015 to visit This Is The Kit’s quiet simmering stunner Moonshine Freeze.

Holy funky Gateway!

Listening through softscars for the umpteenth time since its release last week on Ninja Tune, the thought occurred to me that this is the kind of record Jimi Hendrix might love.

Let’s think about the films The Wolverine and Tarkovsky’s Stalker. Both are movies, yet the experience of watching could not be more different.

Anna & Elizabeth’s The Invisible Comes to Us is a menagerie of sonic delight.

Stripped bare to the bone.

Composer and trumpeter jaimie branch died from an accidental overdose at age 39, just before this album was done and I mourn the loss of such a unique and compelling voice as though we were best friends.

Bordering on too beautiful, Julie Byrne’s The Greater Wings, released on Ghostly International last month, is instead perfectly balanced on the edge.
