Edge Games
Although Berlin-based musical seekers Jules Reidy and Sam Dunscombe are friends who’ve worked together in numerous contexts over the last decade or so, Edge Games is their first, long overdue collaborative album. Over two expansive, mind-bending excursions the former’s microtonal guitar lines are woven into a gorgeously unstable mass of synthesis, field recordings, and clarinet produced by the latter, but it’s important to note that the recording process was deeply collaborative, with a rigorous…
Flashback
Tip! Tip! Tip! Azzurro 80's new album—his first ever on LP—is a beautifully faded Polaroid that, like a true flashback, plunges listeners into the heart of the 1980s. It's a sonic journey that captures the essence of a decade, distant yet vividly etched in our collective memory. The Roman producer unleashes his sonic vision with even greater intensity than before, weaving through dreamy italo-disco, electric atmospheres, soundtrack-worthy synth-pop, and boogie-funk grooves. Each track opens a wi…
Starlight
Julius Smack engages in a dialogue with a fictional AI assistant to create an album using the prompt, “Make an album that tells the story about the origins of Julius Smack.” Starlight emerges as the imagined response, envisioning a world where beauty and violence intertwine, and memories and dreams are excavated to craft stories.
In a near-future Earth, where artists are among the planet’s last inhabitants, a symbiotic relationship has formed between humans and AI—each relying on the other for n…
Decomposition: Fox on a Highway
While working a job that required frequent drives between Philadelphia and a remote warehouse to sort furniture, Brendan Principato, the artist behind the project Saapato, noticed a fox on the side of the highway that had been struck dead by a car. Its vibrant red coat stood out against the asphalt. Day after day, the fox remained there, gradually transitioning from serene lifelessness to an unrecognizable state, a haunting reminder of nature’s cyclical processes. This encounter sparked a year-l…
Greater honeyguide
Fraufraulein, the San Francisco duo of Billy Gomberg and Andy Guthrie, are master world builders. Their work is immersive — it wraps around you like a warm coat, guiding you deep into a trance-like state. Time moves in slow circles, folds in on itself, and unspools like caught fishing line. It’s tempting to say Guthrie and Gomberg construct a new reality with their work, but I think they’re revealing the contours of familiar territory, gluing together a complicated mirror more than constructing …
Unforgiven Thoughts
Spite Cathedral returns with Unforgiven Thoughts, an album in which the artist delves into an experimental, dark, and deeply atmospheric sonic journey, fusing industrial, noise, drone, and post-apocalyptic textures to create a unique and disturbing soundscape. From the very first track, the album establishes an unsettling tone. Harsh, mechanical industrial sounds clash with ethereal and distorted melodies, creating a sense of controlled chaos. Spite Cathedral demonstrates a masterful command of …
Mutualismo 01
Mutualism is the pure essence of collaboration, an exchange that not only projects but also guarantees the growth of two individuals. In this bond, there is no competition; instead, a natural equilibrium emerges where both parties strengthen and complement each other. It is not about losing one's identity, but about enhancing it, allowing individualities to shine even brighter when united. It is a reminder that when two forces ally, the result is always greater than the sum of their parts. Mutua…
Krummhörn
Formed in the mid-1980s, Nostalgie Éternelle is a band that stands the test of time. This duo from Leer, a city in northwest Germany, has based their sound on post-punk, electronica, industrial-pop, minimal-wave, electro-punk and experimental, and although in their first stage they were only active from 1986 to 1992, in 2009 they came back with more strength, recording new material and touring again.
Krummhörn is an album that is released in a limited cassette edition and also on cd, and the rel…
Aggregate New Works for Automated Pipe Organs
Maciej Śledziecki and Marion Wörle show just how exciting the world of the pipe organ is today as the ensemble gamut inc. The retro-futuristic duo uses self-programmed software to dock onto the MIDI consoles of church organs, control their stops in a manually impossible way and perform sound synthesis with surprising results. Their annual AGGREGATE festival in Berlin is a meeting place for the international “New Organ Movement” scene: electronic musicians, composers and organists from different …

Say It Loud!
Lou Donaldson had been a Blue Note stalwart since his earliest recordings in 1952 and over the following 15 years produced numerous classic dates spanning bebop, hard bop, and soul jazz. But when the alto saxophonist hooked up with the funky drummer Leo Morris (aka Idris Muhammad) for 1967’s Alligator Bogaloo it began a run of great groove-oriented albums including Mr. Shing-A-Ling, Midnight Creeper, and 1968’s Say It Loud. Filling out the band were Donaldson’s fellow Blue Note labelmate trumpet…
