When I first moved to Ireland I was unexpectedly met by thousands of vacant churches. Massive halls formed a hollow emptiness which persisted for several months that eventually turned into years. This record was made in one of those churches on an antique, Blüthner grand piano. I worked and recorded...

Audiopile Review: Eleven Fugues for Sodium Pentothal marks the first proper full length from Stars of the Lid co-founder Adam Wiltzie, though he’s certainly remained active over the decades with soundtrack work and other projects like The Dead Texan, Aix Em Klemm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen. Despite Wiltizie’s...

Bureau B reissues the eleventh solo album by German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius, originally released in 1986 on the small Norwegian label Cicada. If we can agree on 1969 as the year of Cluster's inception, then Roedelius needed a good 17 years to discover the aural qualities and musical beauty of the grand...

Nexcyia’s inaugural project delicately explores the realm of sound design, eschewing the over-visited constraints of a tempo grid.

Audiopile Review: We were not completely shocked last year when it was announced that André 3000’s debut album would be a jazz record. Considering his notable appearance on Carlos Niño’s collaborative album last year, (I’m Just) Chillin’, On Fire, alongside random public appearances playing his flute to passersby, this move,...

Audiopile Review: The second of the two releases this week from Goaty Tapes, this one coming from mysterious duo Echardt & Kash. And, as the zen-like, post-hippie cover might have tipped off, Songs of the Soul is a deep plunge into new age mysticism, filled with the hallmarks of the...

Audiopile Review: Want your life to feel all exotic and dreamlike? Throwing on something by fourth world music inventor Jon Hassell is always a good way to get there. But the mere fact that track one from 1987’s ‘Surgeon of the Nightsky…’ is called ‘Ravinia / Vancouver’ makes us feel like...

It's a sign of creative maturity and marks a welcome move away from the Fennesz-style layered glitchscapes that have dominated his back-catalogue.
