I love the playfulness and depth of this -- once it unfolds it captivates in the way it anticipates powerful chord resolutions that may or may not end up washed over, phased out, or disarmed by experimental flourishes. Inspired. Matt Cahill

A new Japanese psych trio featuring ’90s vets led by the (relatively) new Toshimitsu Akiko. The music moves with a stumbling grace, as if unfolding a folktale through flower pedals and knives. Toshimitsu sings softly with an unkempt twee-pop wonder in songs that undulate from regal singer-songwriter fare to little explosions of fuzz guitar, crashing cymbals and droning accordion. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/peruvian-punk-swedish-heavy-metal-japanese-psych/ Lars Gotrich

Been a big fan of Zelienople for some time now, yet it never quite registered how much of that adoration was due to the incredible percussive talents of Mike Weis. Now, I'm even more hooked on his solo work. In Low Light comes off as his most subtle and fleshed out effort yet. Either way, genius is found in all that Weis touches! Lost Tribe Sound

Another warm and comforting release from Bird People. I couldn't tell whether the ambient noises were recordings used by the performers or simply sounds picked up in the performance space, but either way the contrast is something special. jckmd
