A marvelous blend of jazz, post-rock, and math-rock. Everyone in the band sounds great and the guitars and sax shine like chrome. Sounds like a cross between TNT and The Audio Medium and that's awesome!

An all-encompassing aural assault, a force as unstoppable and fiercely alive as the tide. The post-rock powerhouse known as AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR have returned with their 7th studio album, ‘Megafauna’.

Almost all bands do it backward and upside-down. They start with years of playing live, creating their music in the crucible of performance with all of its impurities and in-the-moment inspirations, before committing said music to a recording that fixes it into an ostensible, exemplary form that eternally serves as an ultimate reference. And then maybe, someday, a few albums down the road, when the tours are shorter and less frequent and the cupboard is looking a little bare, they excavate and massage some favorite board recordings into a live album to fill a gap in some capitalist imagining of “career.”

To All Trains is the sixth and final studio album by American rock band Shellac. The album was recorded at Electrical Audio between November 2017 and March 2022. It was released on May 17th, 2024 following the death of guitarist and vocalist Steve Albini two weeks prior on May 7th, 2024.

Following last year’s album Comradely Objects, Horse Lords offer an exploded view of the quartet’s unparalleled live show via Live in Leipzig, a four song EP captured in Germany at the UT Connewitz theater on their fall 2022 European tour.

Covet is fronted by Yvette Young who is revered by guitarists around the world for her mastery of the innovative two-handed tapping technique. Yvette says of the album - "I'd like to be honest - this album process was one of the most challenging ever, and none of the reasons for that was related to the actual music. There was a moment where it felt like it might not come out ever…but I think having patience and faith does pay off. I named this record "catharsis" because the word to me feels like a triumphant exodus.

Excellent experimental band with outstanding attitude.

Horse Lords return with Comradely Objects, a continuation of the quartet’s exploration of repetition in minimalism and traditional musics, complex counterpoint, timbres and texture, but also an evolution of these sometimes disparate musical strands wound tightly around propulsive rhythmic grids. The most sublime document yet of the band’s ongoing interrogation of aesthetic and social form, purpose, and intent, Comradely Objects doesn’t identify a new utopia so much as limn a thrilling portrait of revolution underway.

Over the course of its 20-year history, Ahleuchatistas has pushed the stylistic and technical boundaries of what an instrumental power trio/duo can do. Expansion is the 9th full length album from the genre-defying instrumental juggernaut led by guitarist Shane Parish. It features an all-new trio lineup with Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, John Zorn) on bass, and Danny Piechocki (Terms) on drums.

To confuse parts for the whole is inevitable with Palm. On their latest effort, Nicks and Grazes, Palm embrace discordance to dazzling effect. “We wanted to reconcile two potentially opposing aesthetics,” Kasra Kurt of the band says. “To capture the spontaneous, free energy of our live shows while integrating elements from the traditionally gridded palette of electronic music.”

black midi present their third album and second in two years, Hellfire. Hellfire sees the London three piece at their most direct. Written in isolation in London in 2021 almost immediately after it’s predecessor Cavalcade - no band can quite build their own universe like black midi. Hellfire picks up right where Cavalcade left off. Where Schlagenheim was much more based on ‘jams’ and collaboration, Cavalcade a mixture of isolation and collaboration, Hellfire falls on the other side of the spectrum of working in isolation.

3 years after « Les Insurgés de Romilly », and after having spent some time with PinioL, ni is coming back with a new album in 2019.

Piniol is today’s King Crimson: technically proficient, creative, adventurous, but it also adds that certain je ne sais quoi that makes most French prog stand out.

black midi’s new album Cavalcade is a dynamic, hellacious, and inventive follow-up to 2019’s widely-praised Schlagenheim, “a labyrinth with hairpin-turn episodes and lyrics full of dourly corrosive observations” (New York Times, Best Albums of 2019). It scales beautiful new heights, pulling widely from a plethora of genres and influences, reaching ever upwards from an already lofty base of early achievements.

‘Ghost City’ was written over the course of two years, between the bands tours in Europe, Japan and Mexico, before heading to Northern Italy to record it. “We figured it was the same price to record in Italy, so we brought our friend and producer Mark Roberts along for the ride,” says Devin Yuceil (vocals/guitar), “we booked a bunch of shows on the way down which pretty much covered our recording costs, which also meant that we had around a week of playing the new material everyday leading to the studio, a luxury we don’t often have.”
