Magic Castles – Realized

In the case of Magic Castles, with their new album, they actually do introduce that magic element that they saw fit to include in the band’s name.

Gout – Actual Bastard

Actual Bastard brings hopelessness, self doubt, nihilism, psychic dread, social anxiety and all yer best boys over for a bag of cans and a pitch black laugh.

Aziola Cry – Dysphoria Ritual

These compositions within the six tracks that is on here, blend in their maturity and distinctive voices throughout their arrangements.

Conic Rose – Wedding

It seems that Conic Rose has further perfected their craft of bringing some fresh air to current modern jazz trends.

Jacob Roberge – The Passing

The Passing is quite the emotional ride with unbelievable results and wonderous sense of arrangements Jacob has brought to the fold.

Crippled Black Phoenix – Sceaduhelm

This album truly lifted my spirit and is a contender for album of the year.

The Heads – yourprettyplaceisgoingtohell

Two decades on from their last album, The Heads fifth is a heady stew of the sounds that make them such a vital force in psychedelic music.

Loula Yorke (feat Charlotte Jolly) – Salix

The music is like a willow dipping its boughs in a stream, turning its leaves in the wind like a shoal.

Angine de Poitrine – Vol. II

The second volume gets even wacky, dadaist, crazy, insane, and brilliant in a way those two guys can show how much wonderful music can come out of the Great White North.

Aggressive Perfector – Come Creeping Fiends

If you like metal, then this album is for you. It’s unabashed in its delivery, and more fun than an afternoon eating pizza, watching Return Of The Living Dead 3.

Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis

Sanguis is harder, edgier, powerful, and it still manages to see what the band will do next for the third and final chapter in the Dark Poem saga that waits for us.

Sugar Horse – Not A Sound In Heaven

Sugar Horse pull off the unlikely feat of sounding like OMD and Ministry at the same time.

Immolation – Descent

It’s an album which towers tall over the recent death metal revival and shows how it should be done.

Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore – Tragic Magic

You feel as if you’re watching the duo, pouring their heart and soul into the album and bringing all of these wonders to life to make sure they’ve got it all down to a T.

The New Pornographers – The Former Site Of

Tenth album from beloved Canadian collective finds them getting even more insular and melancholy than its predecessor.

Konradsen – Hunt, Gather

Sabel and Vildgren wrap it all up in some gentle and subtly complex songwriting that makes it all sound like it is worth the effort of turning it all into music, as well as keeping that search for the right path going.
