The Protomen - Act II: The Father of Death

2009; 12 tracks

Act II: The Father of Death is a truly moving album about Megaman. Perhaps it sounds lame, or the cover looks a bit cheesy. The truth is, it brought tears to my eyes. This powerful album is epic in every sense of the word - building upon The Protomen's fantastic debut album and, here, creating a masterpiece.

High Wolf - Incapulco

2009; 7 tracks

High Wolf is a neo-psychedelia/electronic project from France that is absolutely incredible! According to Last.fm, High Wolf "uses loops, percussive sounds, fuzzy keyboards and obscure sunken melodies to create a ritual space that combines aspects of exotica, ethno-flux, drone and minimalism." I hope that caught your interest.

Songs of Green Pheasant - Gyllyng Street

2007; 7 tracks

This soft, beautiful, perfect album by Songs of Green Pheasant, aka Duncan Sumpner, literally makes me feel at home. His style is likened to those of Devendra Banhart, Múm, and Vetiver, among others... There is such a comfort in the gentle melodies here, the whale-like sounds of the ocean and unearthly picturesque scenes full of sights and smells reminiscent of the woods.. His soft, luxurious vocals add to the whispy atmosphere. Breezy, dream-like and enchanting music emanates from Little Hours. Highly recommended. "A Sketch For Maenporth" is definitely a highlighting track for me - it is exactly the kind of ambience I've been looking for in such a long time.

Jandek - Interstellar Discussion

1984; 15 tracks

Jandek is a one-of-a-kind musician, artist, visionary. His music is both haunting and comforting - spectacular and, yet, misunderstood. Listen to this album and soak yourself in the dark, cold, outsider energy of Jandek's off-putting voice and lonesome guitar.

Spokane - Little Hours

2007; 10 tracks

Little Hours is the patient sheen of stillness after a short, violent burst of intention. The lingering, resonant decay of a nail being hammered into wood. A piano laden marriage of small hopes and quiet violence.

In Church Hill, a borough of Richmond, Virginia, there is a small yellow cottage. Next to the cottage is an austere replica of a mid-nineteenth century, white Federal period house. The members of Spokane hand built the structure over the course of 2006 while recording and revising their first new album in four years, Little Hours. The record is both a document of and an aural parallel to that difficult, meticulous process. In the emotional vein of folk singer Jackson C. Frank with the textural emaciation of composers Zbigniew Preisner and Morton Feldman, the songs themselves are hinged on concepts of failure and stillborn ideas, on the conflicted process of building or birthing a cerebral image into the world. There are the echoes of insistent cats running through the skeletal frame of the house, pillaged, infant birds in their mouths, left half-dead at the foot of the hole where the stair would be. The brutal gutting of the earth to build a foundation wall of concrete and brick, by sheer will and intent and arrogance. There is the crude muscling of lifted walls that block out the sun and obscure the trees. And the thought of future inhabitants, laughing and arguing and sitting, each alone, the ghosts of these songs wilting and remnant in the air. - UntitledTwo
