Recorded remotely between Suffolk and Dublin, the violinist and recorder player Laura Cannell and the cellist Kate Ellis continue their series of monthly collaborations, tracing shared landscapes and finding connectivity through distance with the Renaissance crumhorn and Chinese hulusi providing an added twist. Lyra Pramuk offers a fractal take on the conventional remix record, Rachika Nayar seeks restoration through communal spaces and sketchy guitar, and Black Marble harkens to a bygone era of analogue bedroom pop.
Tink and Isaiah Rashad lay down a marker on their latest studio albums, the enigmatic London alternative artist John Glacier debuts with SHILOH: Lost For Words, and Grouper strives to unclutter fifteen years of material while fretting out on ‘Unclean mind’. Soaring strings, swooning choral vocals, and whirring electronics come from the Italian duo of TSVI and Seven Orbits and the Chicago composer Brett Naucke alongside Natalie Chami and Whitney Johnson. And tracks by NTsKi, Bailey Baum, The Black Keys, Lil Yachty, and Combo Chimbita complete the best of the week.
