DIATOM DELI Time~Lapse Nature (RVNG Intl., 2022)* C’è un modo diverso rispetto al solo richiamo alla tradizione nel declinare l’essenzialità folk dalle connessioni naturalistiche: quello di calarne, letteralmente, le manifestazioni in atmosfere dilatate e brulicanti, raccolte sul campo sotto forma di field recordings e ariose risonanze. Si tratta di una formula ormai consolidata, ma ogni…
[video of the week] Florist – Spring in Hours
Taken from Floris upcoming album, “Florist” out July 29th via Double Double Whammy. Florist began as the friendship project of Emily Sprague, Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker in Upstate, NY. The three started making weird sounds on synths and guitars together as a way to relate, and grew close. Felix Walworth joined as a drummer…
BARZIN Voyeurs In The Dark (Monotreme, 2022)* Il tempo corre in fretta, caro Barzin Hosseini; quanto ne è passato dall’ultima volta? Sembra un attimo, eppure ben nove anni sono trascorsi da “To Live Alone in That Long Summer”, quarto disco dell’artista canadese che, da allora in poi, si è dedicato alla poesia e alle arti…
WILL SAMSON Active Imagination (Human Chorus, 2022)* Trascorsi ormai oltre dieci anni dall’inizio dell’attività artistica sotto il proprio nome (dopo i visionari esordi atmosferici come Himalaya), Will Samson sembra aver trovato una stabilità personale e creativa, che tuttavia non rinnega il composito ventaglio di esperienze e ispirazioni che ne hanno caratterizzato il percorso, in frequente…
[video of the week] Lindsay Clark – Roses In The Sky
Taken from the album “Carpe Noctem”, out June 24th 2022 on Audiosport Records (NL). Lindsay Clark finds balance between traditional and english folk, country, and her own version of experimental folk that seems to come from within. Exquisite and pitch perfect, her music speaks of quiet revelation, with a background of (usually her own) multi-tracked…
[video of the week] Joan Shelley – The Spur
Taken from the album “The Spur”, out June 24th 2022 via No Quarter. Joan Shelley returns with “The Spur” her first new album in three years.

[video of the week] Diatom Deli – Disarray
Taken from “Time~Lapse Nature”, out May 13th 2022 via RVNG Intl. Diatom Deli’s “Disarray” exalts a renewed threshold of melodic reverence, with indelible arcs that chime in bright, audial gusts, and marks the announcement of Deli’s forthcoming album Time~Lapse Nature. Delisa Paloma-Sisk was born and raised in Tennessee, but grew up traveling to Puerto Rico, where her mother’s family…
LIGHTNING IN A TWILIGHT HOUR Overwintering (Elefant, 2022)* Quel senso di innata nostalgia che ha costantemente innervato le creazioni musicali di Bobby Wratten nei suoi oltre trent’anni di attività, sotto diverse forme e denominazioni, appare probabilmente oggi ancor più pronunciato e, per certi versi, si attaglia in maniera del tutto coerente con il suo profilo…
[video of the week] Will Samson – Shun
Taken from the album “Active Imagination” out 6th May (CD/DL) 24th June 2022 (LP) on Human Chorus. Electronic / folk artist Will Samson announces the release of his brand new album “Active Imagination”, the follow-up to 2019’s “Paralanguage“, released via Wichita Recordings.

AIDAN BAKER You Are All At Once (Somewherecold, 2022)* Non capita molto di frequente che sulle sperimentazioni di Aidan Baker si innesti l’elemento vocale; quando succede, tuttavia, si assiste ad autentiche trasfigurazioni della sua pratica creativa, abitualmente concentrata su una materia chitarristica astratta e spesso rumorosa. Nonostante la ricerca sonora pura dell’artista canadese si sia…
[streaming] Anne Garner – Dust Devil
“Dust Devil” is the second single from Anne Garner‘s new album “Dear Unknown”, upcoming on Slowcraft on 1st April 2022. This minimal dream-pop anthem gradually unfurls from hushed piano beginnings through glowing soft electronics and pillowy rhythmic pulses into a cathartic tour de force, sweeping away trapped feelings that no longer serve, transposing the inner,…
[video of the week] Jo Schornikow – Lose Yr Love
Taken from Jo Schornikow’s new album “ALTAR”, out May 20th 2022 via Keeled Scales. “ALTAR” is the perfect counterweight to 2019’s Secret Weapon. While that album was bare and scrappy bedroom folk, this new album is a joyful announcement of synthy indie-pop. From Melbourne, Australia, Jo’s first job at 17 was as a church organist,…
BLUE STATES World Contact Day (Memphis Industries, 2022)* Viene da lontano il progetto di Andy Dragazis, che già alla fine degli anni Novanta aveva cominciato ad assemblare samples da colonne sonore e strumenti suonati dal vivo. La sua non copiosa produzione sotto l’alias Blue States (due album negli ultimi quindici anni) si arricchisce tuttavia di…

KEELEY FORSYTH Limbs (Leaf, 2022)* La tormentata, graffiante bellezza del debutto “Debris” (2020) aveva rivelato la straordinaria espressività di Keeley Forsyth in veste di cantante, oltre che in quelli di attrice di film di successo e serie televisive della sua precedente esperienza artistica. Le componenti teatrali e drammatiche dei suoi registri sono ancora più evidenti…

“Seat For Sadness” is the first single taken from the second Many Voices Speak album “Gestures”, released on 29th April via Strangers Candy.

[video of the week] Deer Scout – Cowboy
Taken from Deer Scout’s forthcoming album ‘Woodpecker’, out April 8th 2022 on Carpark Records. Deer Scout’s debut full length Woodpecker is a record about memory and the subconscious.
