From Jeff Gburek’s Bandcamp site: “None-sense Opera is what I will call it. It’s not noise, not merely musical soundscapery nor just anything rushing in to fill the 4/33 gap. My selections are operant, intuitive but their sense often only dawns on me later in the twilight when I become Continue Reading
Willebrant – Coastal___
Karl Willebrant released an EP’s worth of meditative music that would be appealing to fans of groups like Embryo and Popol Vuh. The tunes are gentle, a bit on the kosmische side, and well-balanced in terms of its sonic character. This is a rather fine little release.

Valerie Renay – Peel the Skin
Though listed in the tags as dream pop, this feels more like a sultrier, weirder dream than I’m used to, and the track is all the better for it. Valery Renay is a singer based out of Berlin, Germany. Her voice is as alluring a thing as I have heard Continue Reading
Marcos Valle – Túnel Acústico
It boggles the mind that Marcos Valle, who is close to having a sixty-year career making music, can still come up with sounds that are so fresh while referencing the past. One can still hear bossa nova, a genre he helped make popular, sit inside a stew that includes funk, Continue Reading
Burial Beyond The Sea – Smoldering Remains
The Last American Poet, Shane Beck, collaborates on this album with stoner/doom band Burial Beyond The Sea. I’m pleasantly surprised to see how well spoken-word balances with doom.
