Bill Brennan: Solo Piano
by Budd Kopman
Newfoundlander Bill Brennan has created a beguiling, meditative and quite deep solo piano album with Solo Piano. He shares the same homeland as Patrick Boyle, and one can hear the very air and landscape pictured on the liner--a grey sky, boulder-strewn ground, and shallow stream--and a sense of isolation, but with a close connection to the ...

Samita Sinha: Seep

Everything seems to fit together and make sense, and yet the musical world thus created is unfamiliar. While it has density and gravity, the music feels like it's almost not there. After experiencing the album, you might ask yourself what ...
