Barnt: Magazine 13

Barnt’s debut LP is not funny-sounding, it’s not barely cool or assuming any particular stance towards today’s music industry. No, this is nothing of that but most certainly, this album is a subtle game-changer and hopefully, a matrix opus.

Torn Hawk: Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time

Using a technique he calls video mulch Wyatt blends found footage with cuts from popular films and scenes recorded by the artist himself. You could always sense an ironic approach in Wyatt’s visuals but his LP feels on the contrary – candid and emotional.

Les Sins: Michael

Michael is a solid release but still Chaz Bundick’s weakest to date. It needs to be said the palette of sounds on the album is very rich…yet as a whole the album feels a bit mundane and tends to lose momentum.

Recondite on Iffy

Following the release of Recondite’s third album last month, we caught up with Lorenz Brunner to find out more about the concept behind the album, artwork, music video and relationship he has with Ame, Dixon and the rest of the Innervisions crew.

Tallesen: Stills Lit Through

Tallesen’s debut album ‘Stills Light Through’ is refreshing in that it doesn’t easily fall into the category of being either ‘light’ or ‘dark’, but neither is it sterile.

Eric Truffaz & Murcof: Being Human Being

Like Bilal’s paintings and drawings, the elegiac and mournful overtones of this record finds its influence and informants in the unsettling aspects of our own historical moment. And like Bilal’s art, it shapes these influences into something that speaks back to them, making for a very human response that is almost impossible not to connect with.

Air Texture Volume IV

Kompakt’s ambient focused offshoot hits the magic spot with its forth offering. BNJMN and Steve Hauschildt prove to be inspired curators for this two CD extravaganza.

Andy Stott: Faith in Strangers

As steely grey as its monochrome cover yet complimented with a lighter touch from Skidmore – “Faith in Strangers” is a bold and hugely satisfying move from an, as ever, progressive producer.

Grouper: Ruins

Liz Harris has crafted a piece of art that asks for full engagement. It’s all about intimacy and confession.
