Louis Cole: Quality Over Opinion
by Scott Lichtman
Louis Cole is a chameleonic genius--merging beats, samples and catchy tunes across styles ranging from “metal-funk-fusion" to “pastoral falsettos."

Will Regnier: Traces
by Dan McClenaghan
Montreal-based drummer & composer Will Regnier's recording debut, Traces, paints an atmospheric soundscape.

Low vegetation rises in prickly clumps in ...
