Fly Paper
In his absorbing short films, Kahlil Joseph (b. 1981) conjures the lush and impressionistic quality of dreams with particular reverence for quotidian moments and intimate scenes.

Joseph’s film also touches on themes of filiation, influence, and legacy, marking a personal reckoning that i…

Recorded in Topanga, California and across the homes of the artists involved, the album unfolds through an extraordinary density of acoustic material: bells, bowls, ceramics, chimes, cymbals, bass drum, sakar…

Researchers described Oidupaa's style as blues and emphasized the complexity of this style of performance, which requires the singer to exert a lot of tension on the vocal cords. This is the author's unique version of the deepest and most powerful type of throat s…

Faust left Wümme's anarchic freedom for The Manor's professional constraints. Virgin wanted a hit. Faust IV was the answer: their most paradoxical album, accessible yet destabilizing, part studio work, part salvage. The sessions stretched, the budget vanished, the result endures—uneven, restless, compelling. Fifty years later: still mid-sentence, still profound, gloriously incomplete.

This time, the pair rebuild their fragmented sound within a band - This House - alongside drummer Søren Høi and synthesist Kristian Tangvik, turning abstraction into something loud, rhythmic, and alive. At its core, the record treats rhythm as architecture. Every instrument acts as percussion, each with its own colour and instability, orbitin…
