SKY STADIUM / PIERROT LUNAIRE
Windowing C30

Like a calm spring breeze, Sky Stadium (Jeff Roman) offers a delicate and beautiful farewell to the long cold winter finally retreating. As life slowly starts to sprout up from the ground again, the opening side of 'Windowing' serves as a reminder of the brighter days that lie ahead.

On what could arguably be Pierrot Lunaire's (John DeNizio) most mellow offering to date, we are quickly plunged deep beneath the surface on the second side, where a much stranger world awaits. Segueing stoically through a handful of really remarkable shifts and turns, we are offered a tour into a cosmos that is at once mysterious and curiously comforting.

VENN RAIN
Sympathetic Vibrations C24

Despite the relative brevity of most of the six gorgeous cuts that make up 'Sympathetic Vibrations', Venn Rain's (Jimmy Billingham) latest offering runs through a remarkable number of varied ideas and interesting motifs.

For a release that is part drone part ambient yet not quite either, one might even be tempted to use the word 'accessible'. It's vibrant and unique, and one of the finest (half) hours this label has seen.

DAW NUSK
Hunter Gatherer C68

On the really rather epic 'Hunter Gatherer', Daw Nusk (Todd Klempner) sweeps through six lengthy and extremely richly saturated ambient drone cuts.

Playing out almost as an alternative soundtrack to Terrence Malick's 'The Tree of Life', 'Hunter Gatherer' is a celebration of nature and life, complete with field recordings, crashing waves of strings and just a general level of awesomeness that very much deserves a wider audience.
