“Ruhe” tracks a visual and auditory journey from pristine landscapes in their unspoiled environs to the environmental degradation of human intervention and back again. Musically this is reflected through gorgeous, low-cloud ceiling drones, heavy and ponderous piano lines that slowly build into the jet-engine roar of noise as the track begins to ponder the impact …
The Leatherbound Books are a Burlington, VT based band fueled by delicate song-structures, a heaven-bound voice and notable comparisons to bands like Ida, The Secret Stars and The Pastels. Their ability to channel a forgotten era of utterly earnest Twee is a truly refreshing thing to hear. On their video for “I Could Have Been” …

Pram of Dogs present “Existence” from their newly released album A N T I – M A T T E R. On “Existence” haunted loops of drone and coaxed and manipulated Wow and Flutter score a film that doesn’t exist. The city-scape on “Existence” lurches and stutters to an offscreen beat of a projector unspooling …
Paired with documentary and archival footage of people and communities in crisis, the Argentinian based Shoegaze band Ural Mountains offer a convincing pastiche of 90’s Shoegaze and Art-Rock bands ranging from Chapterhouse to Sonic Youth on “Kamikaze”.

The string and piano led composition erupts into some highly dramatic and emotional saxophone playing as the …
The lead track off of Canadian composer Joshua Van Tassel’s “Dance Music volume II: More Songs for Slow Motion” gets a visual accompaniment.
