Audiopile Review: Moor Mother has really made a name for herself in recent years. She’s worked with everyone from post-rap demi-god Billy Woods to industrial beatmaker The Bug to contemporary jazz band Irreversible Entanglements. Along the way, she’s formed a wild, noisy conception of hip-hop’s future into something that slaps pretty-damn...

Audiopile Review: With the tragic death of Peter ‘Pita’ Rehberg in 2021, it was reasonable to assume that Editions Mego and its sub-labels would cease operations. Heartening to see that Recollection GRM, the sub-label dedicated to mining the vaults of France’s Groupe de Recherches Musicales, is still a going concern. Lend...

A decade on from that stunning ‘P.A./Hard Love’ album that firmly placed Rosenfeld’s avant-dub fascinations on our map, the NYC-based sound artist releases these immersive recordings of her and two revered drummers interpreting scores generated by SuperCollider, which were then reworked by Rosenfeld, cut to dubplate, and played back in...

Yeah this one’s an absolute killer. For 46 minutes Hungtai punctures our perception of linearity, working like a conductor, encouraging percussive flurries to trip and fall over each other, sometimes tempered by contact mic feedback to help skewer the chronology. He's assisted by three additional percussionists - Wet Hair's Ryan...

Best known for his work for legendary Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (he even designed the enigmatic “bang” in 2021’s labyrinthine ‘Memoria’), Japan’s Koichi Shimizu has been honing a unique musical language since the early ‘90s, where some of his earliest material can be found on a split LP with Yoshiteru...

Photogenic dandy Gwen Jamois, aka Iueke, returns with his queasiest, most lysergic release yet, featuring close to an hour of rubbery, rippling electronics, laconic cinematics and free-falling rhythms frozen somewhere between Autechre, Cluster and Rashad Becker.
Gwen has been immersed in all sorts of fringe business for decades at this point,...

Audiopile Review: Always a pleasure to make a local release album of the week. Not something we’d do from the goodness of our hearts. Record store people. We’re simply not that nice. When will you learn? But ‘Imerro’, the latest LP from Caton Diab, is more than deserving of its place...

Audiopile Review: Sonic Youth legend Kim Gordon has long been one of the coolest people in rock. On her second solo album, ‘The Collective’ she reaches Dean Martin levels of cool melting into sheer ennui. The opening single ‘BYE BYE’ is essentially just her reciting a packing list over some distorted...

Audiopile Review: The two minds behind Gaia Tones drop this EP of tracks culled from their archives, dating back to the days just before they donned their current guise. While their releases as GT have tended toward deeply lysergic, near ritualistic riddems, these recordings reveal their more house-oriented origins, albeit delivered...

Audiopile Review: The ‘90s psychedelic rock scene centred around Japan’s PSF label was quite militantly underground. Keiji Haino is an avant garde legend and those Acid Mothers Temple have a significant cult following. But few of the PSF bands and artists appeared to have much crossover potential. Ghost had the most....

Today, migration seems to be encoded into everyday habits. As so many of our minds and bodies aggressively globalise in unprecedented ways, previously fixed “genres” and identities of any kind are constantly being dismantled, made redundant, and born anew.
It’s from this space of flux that American composer and vocalist Sheherazaad...

Audiopile Review: Following the recent passing of Damo Suzuki, many have remarked that his time with Can was the band’s absolute high-water mark. Certainly, the Krautrock legends never sounded more free, more organic, or more approachable. The albums they recorded together, culminating in the lush, utopian ambiance of ‘Future Days’,...

Omit’s in/Sec is “new,” but not new. Recorded in 2013, the masters lost in the label’s murky somewheresville that always shows up when moving.

Audiople Review: It’s like Fred Frith heard about that reissue of Brian Eno’s ‘Apollo’ album… You remember the one? With the second record of new tracks on the same theme? And the new songs were legitimately good? Yeah, well, it’s like Fred Frith heard that and said: “Hold my beer.”...

TIM HECKER’s latest work approaches a form of secular musical transcendentalism from within the battered temple of spirituality.

Trances, Jules Reidy's follow-up to the celebrated World in World (2022), takes place in between states, tracing a kind of restless movement in search of -- or is it away from? -- a center.
