Kal Marks: My Name Is Hell
The underlying musical and philosophical idea of Kal Mark’s latest full-length My Name Is Hell is trotted out upfront like the proud thesis of an undergraduate Lit paper.
Gazillion (ft. J Dilla)
MF DOOM passed away (RIP) and we’re not ever going to be done remembering him through his music.
Taken Back
Rich Ruth’s I Survived, It’s Over is too zonked to parse genre distinctions finely. Call it ‘psychedelic.’
Yusawa Experience
The true thrust of Precipitation’s Glass Horizon is chill, New Age ambient, but have a listen to house banger “Yuzawa Experience.”
Claire Rousay and More Eaze: Never Stop Texting Me
It takes two experimental musicians to TANGO on Never Stop Texting Me. Truly Autotune Never Gets Old.

Clamb Comes Alive
On 26 August, 2022 the Midway Cafe hosted Clamb, Boston’s own earthmagik peacelords, for a night of mind-bottling krautjazz. City of Four and Lon opened.
Mt. Surreal
Disco Doom is nothing if not patient on the superlative title track of its forthcoming LP Mt. Surreal, working through the musical motifs like a chimp on Thorazine solving a Rubik’s Cube.
