“Music” Archives

Starflyer 59’s next album, titled “Slow,” will be released by Tooth & Nail Records this summer.

Leave it to a guy from Denmark to compose the perfect soundtrack for driving across the Nebraska prairie.

Lush’s first release in two decades contains nothing all that groundbreaking— but why would it need to?

Another solid, engaging release by one of the best musicians working in electronic music today.

Brainchild built on the industrial sound of Circle of Dust’s self-titled debut but added a heavier, more guitar-based aspect.

It evokes Joe Hisaishi’s elegant arrangements as much as it does classic 8-bit and 16-bit soundtracks.

The EP takes the band’s darkly cinematic sound out onto the dance floor.

This Christian rock classic has sadly been out of print for nearly two decades.

You get the sense that Deafcult’s members love making this music, and they love making it as loud and raucous as possible.

A chilled, challenging psychedelic album that will reward the patient listener.

Fans of Broadcast, Epic45, and other similarly psychedelic/pastoral music will find much to enjoy here.

“Drift Music” is lovely but “Translucence” is required listening material for fans of elegant, serene ambient music.

The best band in the whole damn land is coming back.

“Gaelynn Lea had the most arresting voice and overall sound I heard in this competition.”

Lush sounds like they haven’t aged a day, much less two decades.

The five-piece creates a sound that’s as delicate and shiny/shimmery as it is raucous and explosive.

Despite rarely having been in the same room together, the group will release a full-length album this June.

If you like folksy, twangy Americana, you’ll want to preorder a copy.

Circle of Dust’s debut will be reissued on March 4; a new Circle of Dust album will be released in December2016.

A fantastic point of entry into the career of one of ambient music’s most distinctive and prolific voices.
