11 Apr - 4 May

Neil Young + Promise of the Real - Paradox (Original Music From the Film) (2018) - "soundtrack to largely incoherent film achieves a shaky sense of grace thanks to the dusty music"

Mystic Moods Orchestra - Touch (1978) - "Comes in gatefold sleeve."

MV + EE - Liberty Rose (2010) - "this new album reaches slowly inward and outward at the same time, connecting distant echoes with our own utterances and creeping notes with our own synapses."

Sir Richard Bishop - Tangier Sessions (2015) - "Rick Bishop picked up a new guitar in Switzerland, and by the time he got to Tangier, these songs fell out!"

Sir Richard Bishop - The Freak of Araby (2009) - "includes covers of several songs written by Egyptian guitarist/composer Omar Khorshid"

Lusine - The Waiting Room (2013) - "demonstrates his prowess across melodic techno, deep house, and even the indie-electronic realm."

Edith Frost - Telescopic (1998) - "almost psychedelic at times, with layers of guitars and keyboards"

OM - God is Good (2009) - "What was once an implied spirituality, drawn out through trance-like repetition, has become spoon-fed."

Fucking Am - Gold (2004) - "Indie rock for metalheads, Gold is intellectual and immediately satisfying"

Dope Body - Natural History (2012) - "juxtaposing tighter musicianship and a sleeker ear for melody while retaining the intensity that’s made them an archetype for sweaty-basement fuzz."

Tycho - Awake (Deluxe Version) (2016) - "a compelling gallery of electronic minimalism whose emotional depth requires a rich listen."

Nosaj Thing - No Reality (2016) - "Startling synths, hand claps, looping pianos, a constantly fluctuating background, just some of his inherent placemats set here"

Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life (1971) - "soul/funk influenced jazz album recorded in 1970"

Klein - Tommy EP (2017) - "the London electronic musician slathers on processed vocals in thick, inky layers"

Bitchin Bajas - Transporteur (2015) - "mostly based on synths that have been used to build warm, dusty, and comforting sound through looping melodic patterns that are layered over top of a foundation of gentle drones."

Scout Niblett - The Calcination of Scout Niblett (2010) - "Her music has always been lonely, introverted, and anguished, but the stakes seem much higher on this album, like it's a do-or-die scenario."

Bitchin’ Bajas - Bajas Fresh (2017) - "a dynamic set of patterned tones, docile drones and burbling dervishes that prove there is real momentum to be found in meditative music"

Alan Licht & Loren MazzaCane Connors - Hoffman Estates (1998) - "a psychedelic brew of fuzzed-out free jazz and howling blues"

Cave - Threace (2013) - "Cave’s heart still beats to the motorik pulse, but they’ve broadened out their repertoire to include some of the other groovy, stoney sounds of the 70s."

Cave - Neverendless (2011) - "Thicker, denser, warbling and crunching in time — a motorik masterwork!"

Sir Richard Bishop - Polytheistic Fragments (2007) - "Here we get fast-picked folk, Django Reinhardt-worthy gypsy tunes, Chet Atkins-style ditties, Hindi-influenced melodies, and a lode of other, less classifiable stuff."

TransChamps - Double Exposure (2001) - "darting from dark, driving, electronics- and percussion-led pieces to energetic, triumphant stoner riffage"

Nathan Fake - Providence (2017) - "a rain-soaked exercise in dance floor dystopia"

Dope Body ‎– Nupping (2011) - "mixes nasty hooks and razor-sharp melodies into the greasy barrage alongside with tropes snatched from throughout pop music's history books"
