The ever-amazing catalog of Attenuation Circuit Records out of Germany continues to expand. Their latest, a collaboration between Sonologyst & Kshatriy, is a wonderful blend of ritualistic music and black ambient. Perfect listening with coffee (black, naturally).

Today is America’s Independence Day, and Ellis arrives just in time: a calm yet firm reminder that the great nation still has a long way to go in order to achieve its goals. The short film (directed by France’s JR) and score (with narration by Robert DeNiro) remind viewers and listeners of the nation’s highest aspirations and deepest […]

[Music] Flying Hórses – Tölt
https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=13310399/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/package=4294530313/transparent=true/
Flying Hórses are one of those bands who give me hope that post-rock will continue to grow, mutate and keep developing wonderful strains in their genre. This Canadian troupe had help from the likes of Nicolas Petrowsky (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) who mixed this album, and Birgir Jón Birgisson of Sigur Rós, who mastered it.

[Music] Piarevaracien – Spadčyna / Heritage
First, a debt of thanks to our friends at Heathen Harvest. Yes, we have some differences politically, religiously and socially, but Paddy has done a sterling job in bringing some amazing music to the forefront of the underground music scene. We wish them continued success.
HH recently reviewed a new release by Belarusian folk-metal band Piarevaracien. I had never heard anything from them until today, and though I normally don’t find much interest in the metal work, folk-metal is too intriguing for me to ignore. You find old Belarusian rhythms, including bagpipe music, mixed with a very thoughtful metal compositions.
There’s quite a lot of this sort of music floating around these days, and I’d say most of it is good. This one is particularly so.
[Music] Muslimgauze – Arab An Dog Curfew Tel Aviv
It seems like Muslimgauze will live forever (or for a very long period of time) thanks to the endless amounts of music Bryn Jones left in his studio, which continue to creep out every now and then.
[Music] Akira Kosemura – Someday (feat. Devendra Banhart)
Akira Kosemura is a young pianist and composer who comes from Japan. He’s shown making some delicate music with American vocalist Devendra Barnhart.
I thank Miguel Douglas, who has brought to my attention many treasures over the past year.
