Two things strike me about Stolar. The first being that their covers always send you to a sense of time and place, the other that the music they release always touches deeply. Tim Eder & Fossar continue in that vein with warm keys contrasted by thumping drums and vocal hints all pointing to heaven. The

This is brilliant and I say that advisedly. There’s an unnerving whir underpinning all of this which only adds to the simmering tension as brutal bass smoulders and tough drums fly. There is also a sense of jazz operating at the edges alongside a deft, bluesy guitar which only lends One Day Around The Sun

Great production from Pedro Capelossi whose latest three numbers occupy the space provided by the always noteworthy Loot Recordings. The title track begins not surprisingly with a probing, introspective arrangement of sounds including tough drums and bass augmented by a timely breath of pads and yearning piano adding tasteful colour. The remix comes from Nhar

When you listen closely you can hear the sound of history reverberating in that timeless way certain frequencies do so readily. In this instance I like that I can hear influences being feed into the collective consciousness just as you can also determinedly hear the artists own unique imprint.

Moritz Fasbender plays and treats the piano with a fizzy, grainy flair that teases and ignites the words classical, experimental and a few more in-between. At times cascading notes risk their all in the pursuit

Like a shot of pure energy Ladies From The Block fires fast and lose serving sizzling percussion together with a magnificent, thumping kick drum. You will also hear snippets of voice but for the most part it’s the sheer, breathless instrumental excitement that takes hold. In ways, Rolling Twist does similar things but in more

In a way everything becomes a soundtrack. You only need to be awake to hear it surround you. In this instance the series of pieces making up the album are set to accompany freediver Johanna Nordblad as she tries to break the world record for distance swam under ice containing one breath of air.

Releasing music that is refreshingly imaginative and incisive the label continues in a similar vein with this latest transmitted via the expressive mind-set of Ottber and Felix Hk. The title track combines tough drums alongside the warmth of deep bass tones amid its almost gentle shuffle of rhythm. Next, the standout Time Issues defies gravity
