Actionfredag – Turist i eget liv (Expanded Edition)
This was an absolutely pleasant surprise! Our friends at áMARXE have published a Swedish band called Actionfredag who keep the spirit of the Canterbury Sound alive in the modern age. The rhythms are tight, time changes about, and the production is punchy. This is a good day to be a Continue Reading
Philippe Petit – Passing Thru…
It’s been a good while since I heard anything from Philippe Petit. He is usually spot-on with his production, playing a variety of electronic instruments (think Buchla) and piano. This is experimental music with a soul and a sense of humor.
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
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.

Morgan Fisher – Cracks In The Wall
Former Mott The Hoople member Morgan Fisher never stopped making great music. This is a recent release from August of this year intended to help fund Morgan Salon, his studio in Japan. It is, indeed, a worthy cause.
Various Artists – Canary Records: Hellenic Hinterlands: Independent Greek-American 78rpm Discs from Baltimore, Boston, and Cleveland ca. 1953-57
From the Canary Records Bandcamp site: “When middle-class Americans in the 1950s found that they could get access to a tape recorder and a microphone, it then became possible for them to make recordings that they could pay to have pressed into discs. One didn’t need to go to dedicated Continue Reading
