Maurice Louca: Saet El-Hazz

Read "Saet El-Hazz" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Un disco davvero assai singolare questo Saet El-Hazz (The Luck Hour), il quarto del multistrumentista e compositore egiziano Maurice Louca, che vi sintetizza gli esiti della sua multiforme ricerca nella musica sperimentale, elettronica e tradizionale del suo paese, guidando una formazione con strumenti quasi esclusivamente occidentali (a parte dei metallofoni di origine indonesiana) senza tuttavia concedere ...

Darius Jones: Raw Demoon Alchemy (A Lone Operation)

Read "Raw Demoon Alchemy (A Lone Operation)" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Saxophonist Darius Jones' solo recording Raw Demoon Alchemy (A Lone Operation) is the embodiment of the word unpasteurized. Captured in the fall of 2019, the music is raw and untreated.

The Necks: Three

Read "Three" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

The Necks: Three

Read "Three" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Live performances by Australian free-improvising trio The Necks typically take the form of a single, slowly growing and morphing mass of sound. On recordings the musicians give themselves permission to sculpt the sound, so it is not a real-time document. Nevertheless their two previous albums Vertigo (Northern Spy Records, 2015) and Body (Northern Spy Records, 2018) ...

Jeremy Cunningham: The Weather Up There

Read "The Weather Up There" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


The complex landscape of human emotions is still vastly uncharted, but every true work of art adds a little piece to the puzzle. This can be done in many ways, but it is rare that an album connects emotion with complex layers of memory, interpersonal relations, politics and societal structures. Nevertheless, this is what drummer and ...
