Audiopile Review: A long out of print and important piece from Brannten Schnüre’s mid-period gets another chance to cast its eerie glow. 2017’s Muschelsammlung might be considered the last of their albums before the underground finally caught up to them, and it’s also one of the more accessible points of...

Audiopile Review: Finnish imprint Ultraääni Records continues their stellar outpour of Scandinavian jazz and experimental records, this time around dishing a new album from Organic Pulse Ensemble, a one-man spiritual jazz outfit based in Sweden, helmed by Gustav Horneij.

Audiopile Review: A weird theory: when a serious artist gets goofy, it stinks, but when a goofy artist gets serious, it rules. Does anyone think ‘The Laughing Gnome’ is David Bowie’s best song? Or how about Bowie’s hero, the godlike Peter Hammill? As we’re sure you’ve noticed, his novelty single...

Audiopile Review: Fresh of her arrangement duties from last week’s release from Alabaster DePlume, in-demand collaborator and string specialist Macie Stewart issues a striking LP for International Anthem.

Audiopile Review: Truly weird shit is not prominent enough in electronic music, where recycling genre conventions is all-to-often replacing genuine experimentalism. Thank goodness for square pegs like Claire Rousay. You never know what to expect from her. Straightforwardly beautiful ambient drones? Bedroom indie folk? Bracingly extreme computer music? Rousay’s latest,...

Audiopile Review: It’s weird when a significant (or just plain famous) artist has their greatest impact with a side project. In the UK, Damon Albarn is a household name for being singer with Britpop titans Blur. But internationally, he’s had more influence and commercial success with whatever Gorillaz is supposed...

First, the intel: since the emergence of 100% GALCHER, his first mixtape in 2013, Cleveland-raised, New York-based producer and DJ Galcher Lustwerk has operated in his own lane of low-key hip-house music. Deep, smooth, psychedelic, equally cut for the club, after-hours, night drives, and headphones. The sound was set from...

Continuing much of the instrumental, musically dense partnership of Loren Connors and Suzanne Langille in the 80s and 90s, Crucible stands out as a clear highlight in the pair's musical partnership, despite the music not featuring the pair performing together. Full of Connor's beautifully droning walls of sound, and Langille...

Japanese Breakfast's fourth studio album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women), retreats from the poppy optimism of the group's 2021 breakthrough, Jubilee, and moves toward a mood similar to the comforting sadness of 2017's Soft Sounds from Another Planet.
