While Sleeping by Balún (Review)
The fact that their music still has plenty of its own charm says something to me.Speed the Road, Rush the Lights by Piano Magic (Review)
I find it rather troubling and disappointing that Piano Magic’s songs have become this predictable.For Your Home or Office by Park Avenue Music (Review)
Understated, subtle, patiently constructed electronic pop at its finest.Plastilina EP by Pia Fraus (Review)
Ultimately, only hardcore fans of the band need to pick this up.Tiger Teeth by Call And Response (Review)
The EP comes across as more an experiment, a toss-off than anything else.Catch the Breeze by Slowdive (Review)
About as perfect a summation of Slowdive’s career as one can find.Empty Space by Lycia (Review)
Because of the album’s truncated recording, it’s pretty raw and unfinished in places, more a work in progress suspended in time than anything else.Kompilation by Various Artists (Review)
Full of examples of why Kranky is one of the most essential — and consistent — labels currently out there in indie-dom.The Blue Notebooks by Max Richter (Review)
Max Richter’s compositions possess an arresting and singular beauty.Gang Gang Dance by Gang Gang Dance (Review)
The music seems designed to keep listeners as uncomfortable as possible, but Gang Gang Dance occasionally finds a solid groove in the chaos.Just in Time for Something by Damien Jurado (Review)
It’s not so much what Jurado sings but how he sounds doing it. (But what he sings is pretty darn good.)Golden Sun by Manual (Review)
At times, the album gets a little too relaxed, and Munk and Skott seem to rely a bit too much on the inherent loveliness of their sound palette to keep things interesting.Eating the Sea by Soulwhirlingsomewhere (Review)
The songs are sparse yet warm, like Plaster is inviting me to hear revelations of his deepest anxieties and feelings.Everyone Will Eventually Leave You by Soulwhirlingsomewhere (Review)
Whereas Soulwhirlingsomewhere’s debut was an intensely intimate recording, Everyone Will Evenutally Leave You has a more sombre and distant tone.
