Although Panda Bear and Sonic Boom are no strangers to each other’s music, Reset marks their first collaborative release. When Sonic Boom pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level, he reckoned Panda Bear might reject the proposition outright—in the nine gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks of Reset, though, you can hear exactly how much he loved the prospect.

Masumi Arai started her musical training with her father, whose passion was German Lieder. After graduating as the inaugural class of the Tokyo University of the Arts Affiliated High School, she continued her studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts under Susumu Nagai. She went on to study in Europe in 1961 on scholarship, studying in Munich and Essen, and later in Paris and London. She concertized extensively throughout Europe, the U.S. and Japan. From 1981 to 2004, she taught at the University of the Arts Berlin. Her teaching series in Japan, including the complete Schumann “Album for the Young” and Chopin works, have received critical acclaim.

Led by guitarist Ryan El-Solh, Brooklyn trio Scree combines ambient jazz, Lebanese folk music, and atmospheric psychedelia into music for walking lonely nights through a desert landscape, either American or Middle Eastern, at twilight, and preferably after ingesting magic mushrooms.

The Ensemble Trisonante was founded in 2015 and has since developed into an internationally sought-after and regularly performing piano trio. With their debut CD “Unfolding”, the three musicians Christina Leeb-Grill, piano, Cecilia Sipos, cello, and Luís Morais, violin, go into discovery mode in the early work of great composers. Franz Schubert composed the Sonatensatz in B flat major, D 28, in 1812, when he was just 15 years old; Nevertheless, it is not difficult to discover the composer’s very own tone.

Allison Brewster Franzetti makes a charming return with PIANISTA, a new collection of recordings that the artist herself describes as a “rich musical tapestry.” Centered around Carlos Franzetti’s Minotaur in the Labyrinth suite, and supplemented with works by Kapustin and Salgán, PIANISTA colors itself in Franzetti’s signature style, a combination of jazz and tango alongside an always enticing homage to Argentinian sound, both folk and urban. These elements come together to drape PIANISTA in playful rhythms, warm harmonies, and the certain éclat only the pianista herself can deliver.

Navona Records presents PINNACLE VOL. 3, a collection of contemporary chamber works by composers Alla Elana Cohen, Andrew Schneider, Dušan Bavdek, and Richard E Brown that highlight the melodic, emotive, and dramatic styles offered by today’s chamber music.

On the cover of his solo debut album, Jesus of Cool (in the U.K.; in the U.S., the album was called Pure Pop for Now People), Nick proves that assumption correct on Jesus of Cool, a record so good it was named twice, as Lowe's American record label got the jitters with Jesus and renamed it Pure Pop for Now People, shuffling the track listing (but not swapping songs) in the process.

The debut album of Greek NWOTHM band Great Voyager, that comes with an amazing artwork!

Saxophonist John Pål Inderberg (b. 1950) and bassist Bjørn Alterhaug (b. 1945) are among the most respected jazz musicians in Norway. During more than 50 years of collaboration in different combinations the idea came on making a duo-album.

He had done it years ago, first with Blues for the Working Class, which dealt with the issues of safety in the workplace (a topic in which Tenca is particularly expert and involved); then, with Wake up nation, which is ten years old, but which is still very current; finally, with Love is the only law, which sees the collaboration of the great bluesman Guy Davis. Now, after a break of a few years, the blues is once again pressing the accelerator of emotions, the social and political situation is far from being improved, and the eleven songs of the new work constitute a manifesto of what Tenca thinks is the duty of a bluesman today: to continue singing, to denounce, to invite reflection, beyond the ideological fences and various mystifying propagandas.
