LATEST REVIEWS

Moon Mother – Meadowlands

An emotionally loaded album that marries slowcore calm with alt-folk and dark-folk textures, using minimal, slow-moving arrangements to frame direct, heavy themes.

Macro/micro – A.fter I.ntelligence

A.fter I.ntelligence is a mesmerizing, tightly wound thought experiment in musical form, one that grips the ears while it keeps the mind quietly spinning.

illo.trio – Wandering

Blending nu jazz and fusion with post-rock haze and a strong cinematic streak, Wandering unfolds as a ten-chapter journey that earns its title.

Dual Dialect – Conglomerate

Dark but inviting, and richly textured without ever feeling cluttered, Conglomerate is a deeply satisfying listen for anyone living somewhere between jazz and electronica.
