Matthew J. Rolin :: The Dreaming Bridge

Matthew J. RolinPosted on

...one of the more skilled and imaginative guitarists on the neo-Takoma School scene. Rolin's self-titled debut and subsequent collabs with Jen Powers and Jayson Gerycz have all been uniformly killer — but they seem to have been warm-ups for The Dreaming Bridge . . .

Misha Panfilov :: Days As Echoes

Misha Panfilov Sound ComboPosted on

Who is Misha Panfilov? The prolific Estonian multi-instrumentalist has shot onto the scene over the last few years, recording and releasing a grip of gritty groove-laden titles under his own name and with outfits such as Penza Penza, Centre El Muusa, and more, mostly via Detroit’s Funk Night Records. Panfilov pulls from a vast pool of influences, from Italian library music to Zamrock to Kosmische Musik, while creating an urgent – sometimes nearly unhinged—sound that is entirely his own . . .

Fred Neil :: 38 MacDougal

Fred NeilPosted on

The only problem with Fred Neil’s music is that there’s not nearly enough of it. That’s why even a brief, informal session like 38 MacDougal feels like a treasure trove. Taped in 1965 at Neil’s apartment by Peter Childs, who accompanies Neil on guitar throughout, the recently released collection is the equivalent of a private recital by one of the great American singer-songwriters . . .

A dark and psychedelic forage, the synchronized animation seemingly explores an abstract, haunting thought experiment . . .

Green-House :: Sunflower Dance/Royal Fern

Green-HousePosted on

Few artists today release music under a moniker more indicative of their sound than Olive Ardizoni's Green-House. Their engaging electronic compositions are Planet Earth-ready, replete with overlays of flowing brooks, gleefully singing birds, and humming tranquility. “The intention of this project is to facilitate the connection between humans and nature,” Ardizoni says, “instead of perceiving nature as something that’s separate from us . . .
