Oren Ambarchi " In The Pendulums Embrace "
Oren Ambarchi’ continues his otherworldly investigations with In The Pendulum’s Embrace, a kind of dark twin to his landmark 2004 album Grapes From The Estate.

Jesse Sykes " Like, Love, Lust & The Open Halls Of The Soul "
Jesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter's third full-length release is a musically deep
piece of work, addressing themes of love, illusion, forgiveness, and the universality of the human experience. Jesse's band (along with guest appearances from Scandinavian cult songwriter Nicolai Dunger, jazz keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, and avant garde violinist/composer Eyvind Kang) explore new sounds with a confident ease, from the lilting first single "You Might Walk Away" to the waltzing sway of "Station Grey" to the hallucinatory psychedelia of "I Like The Sound"
