New #review today: "For those unfamiliar with #JohnHoward, the British #SingerSongwriter first emerged in the mid-70s with the now highly regarded Kid in a Big World. Although commercial success eluded him at the time, his work has enjoyed a remarkable revival in recent decades, leading to a steady stream of new recordings and reissues. His latest release, Overnight Bags, is a deeply personal collection of eleven songs." #ExposeOnline #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-howard-overnight-bags-6.html

New #review today: "#EllingUlvestad is a songwriter from the Planet Earth who leads a band called #Molo. Several years ago, I wrote about the album Earthsongs, and now we have the band’s second album, This Is Earth. The primary feature of the new album is that the quality of the songwriting remains at the same high level — these are just good songs presented with relatively few extraneous frills." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords #SingerSongwriter http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/molo-this-is-earth-2.html

New #review today: "The new #Pinhdar album, Comfort in the Silence, the third #FruitsDeMerRecords release by the Italian duo, finds Cecilia and Max refining the distinctive sound they have been developing over the past several years. Their blend of #TripHop, #DreamPop, #DarkWave, #NewWave, and electronica feels more assured and cohesive than ever, with rich atmospheric textures providing the foundation for Cecilia's crystal-clear, emotionally resonant vocals." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/pinhdar-comfort-in-the-silence-6.html

New #review today: "Back on their 2012 album A Little Bit of Big Bonanza, #BushmansRevenge covered #SonnySharrock’s “As We Used to Sing,” and that gives us a good idea where they get their idea of jazz from. On Ah, les Vaches! they carry on in the same basic vein they’ve been mining for as long as I’ve been aware of them. At one end of the spectrum, they play loose, noisy #jazz in Sharrock’s idiom, and at the other, they drift off into effects-laden atmospheric haze." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #KarismaRecords #IsItJazzRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bushmans-revenge-ah-les-vaches-2.html

New #review today: "For over three decades and nearly a dozen albums, Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist #SimonSteensland has been an irregular and unpredictable entity on the progressive music scene, his music embracing elements of symphonic, rock, folk, #AvantGarde minimalist, maximalist, and everything in between; some may call it #AvantProgressive although I believe it’s closer to classical music executed on mostly electric instruments." #ExposeOnline #áMARXE #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/simon-steensland-explosion-of-bad-music-3.html

New #review today: " In fact this live #Discus album was available two years ago as a bonus disc in a Japanese box set of the band’s first two CDs, subtitled The Official Bootleg, but this is the first time it’s been available as a stand-alone disc; and regardless of that earlier subtitle, this is no bootleg — the recording quality and mix of the six tracks presented is nothing short of stellar, especially given the difficulty of recording some of the Indonesian acoustic instruments." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #IndonesianMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/discus-live-in-switzerland-2005-3.html

New #review today: "Sometimes you have to give up trying to make sense of the world and just accept things as they are. For example, why is there a band called #HoneyRideMeAGoat? I don’t know why they’re called that, but I do know that they’re a really interesting band, so I suppose they need a name. The group’s origins go back to 2000, when some students at Canterbury College bonded over a shared love of Captain Beefheart, Black Sabbath, and Soft Machine." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/honey-ride-me-a-goat-horns-hooves-2.html

New #review today: "#MarkWirtz remains one of pop's great outliers. Best known for the unfinished #ATeenageOpera project, he spent the late 60s pushing studio pop toward increasingly elaborate forms, then somehow carried that vision into 1973 long after the rest of popular music had moved on. #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords' new reissue pairs his two obscure Capitol albums, Balloon and Hothouse Smiles, restoring both LPs to their original configurations and adding the non-LP B-side "Nothing to Do." The first thing to know is that these albums don't sound much like 1973. They're rooted in #BaroquePop, music hall traditions, film-score orchestration, and #Beatles-inspired studio craft." #ExposeOnline #ArtPop #PsychedelicRock #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mark-wirtz-the-70s-albums-balloon-hothouse-smiles-6.html

#ThrowbackThursday #reviews from 1998: "For the first time in who knows how long, the Ozrics really surprised me with this one. While still undeniably #OzricTentacles in every way, they have pushed further into territories they have always hinted at before, namely dance, electronica, #JazzFusion, and spacey ambient." #ExposeOnline #SpaceRock #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ozric-tentacles-curious-corn-2.html

New #review today: "With #HadalSherpa's fourth full-length release Mountains, the Finnish quartet returns to the heavy world-influenced rock that made their second album Void Weaver such a standout, a purely instrumental style that meets somewhere at the crossroads of the ripping heady power jam sound as it crosses from Morocco to Istanbul." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #SpaceRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/hadal-sherpa-mountains-3.html

New #review today: "For their fifth full-length release, #LetSpin moves to #DiscusMusic, which is a very reasonable fit for their music. It’s a combination of #jazz, #funk, and noise that blends composition and improvisation seamlessly." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/let-spin-i-am-alien-2.html

New #review today: "It has been five years since we last heard from Russian band #Detieti. Much has changed since 2018's Frogressive Punk. Where that album reveled in eclecticism, stylistic collisions, and a healthy sense of musical mischief, Spotonica, released in May 2026, finds the band pursuing a more focused vision." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg #AddictedLabelBNiL http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/detieti-spotonica-6.html

New #review today: "#PhillipGolub is a Brooklyn-based pianist, improviser, and composer who has assembled an impressive cast of musicians for Partisan Ship, an instrumental exploration of #microtonal composition loosely depicting a crew of partisans on a quest toward a utopian future." #ExposeOnline #Jazz #MicrotonalMusic #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/phillip-golub-partisan-ship-6.html

New #review today: "As a budding keyboard player in the 70s, I really loved the sound of an overdriven #HammondOrgan I heard in bands like #DeepPurple and #UriahHeep, and it’s obvious that a lot of other people did too — and still do. #Gjenferd is a band from Bergen that’s a shining example of a modern band with that classic sound as their primary influence." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #ClassicRock #OrganRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gjenferd-black-smoke-rising-2.html

New #review today: "#LukeBainbridge is a London-based drummer and composer, and Petstep is his sophomore release, following his debut Surface Tension by five years. There is no question about it, this quartet is steeped in the #jazz idiom, driven by odd grooves and asymmetrical funkiness." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/luke-bainbridge-petstep-3.html

New #review today: "Over the last 13 years, Sweden’s #Agusa has done something a lot of so-called “retro” prog acts never quite pull off: they’ve made the past feel present-tense. Yes, the ingredients are familiar — late-60s/early-70s #ProgressiveRock, Scandinavian folk melodies, touches of #Krautrock repetition — but this isn’t museum work. It’s muscle memory. It breathes, expands, contracts." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/agusa-panacea-6.html

New #review today: "It’s been a few years since #Asceta’s previous album, and during that time some things haven’t changed, but other things have. The group remains an octet pursuing a #ChamberRock sound that shares a style with some contemporary bands from Europe (as well as other parts of the planet) loosely under the influence of #Bartók and #Stravinsky, using both chamber and rock instrumentation together." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/asceta-the-fool-leading-the-blind-3.html

New #review today: "#HilaryJeffery is a composer, arranger, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist, born in suburban England in 1971, though he is currently based in Berlin. The material on Green Prism consists of arrangements of music written by #KeithTippett in the latter part of his career, mostly drawn from a suite titled Winter’s Welcome in 2018." #ExposeOnline #DiscusMusic #AvantJazz #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/hilary-jeffery-green-prism-music-by-keith-tippett-3.html

New #review today: "Most of the recent #DiscusMusic label releases by #PaulDunmall that we have reviewed here featured expansive groups of six or more players: Bright Light A Joyous Celebration was a sextet, Red Hot Ice was a nonet, and the most recent, Away with Troubles and Anxieties from 2025, was an eleven-piece; one would figure from that trajectory that the next one would be a fifteen piece band, but instead he’s dialed Afraid to Speak back to a quintet for all but the closing track, which features six." #ExposeOnline #Jazz #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-afraid-to-speak-3.html

New #review today: "Port-Cucu is an album that hits me in just the right spot. #MonsieurThibault is a band, not a person, and the four members have an infectious take on #MathRock that includes healthy doses of melodic absurdity and playful energy." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/monsieur-thibault-port-cucu-2.html

New #review today: "Between #JoBergerMyhre's bowed double bass, eight string bass, and extended guitar techniques, plus the Iranian percussion, there is a diverse array of unusual sounds coming together across these seven tracks, such that it puts it far outside the standard #jazz idiom, in fact it’s often closer to electric chamber music." #ExposeOnline #RareNoiseRecords #AvantJazz #ChamberJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jo-berger-myhre-penta-3.html

New #review today: "#DiegoPiñera is a #jazz drummer originally from Uruguay, though he’s been based in Berlin for some time now, and his music certainly takes after those European artists who incorporate Classical influences into their jazz. This is especially true on Romanian Dance, where #BélaBartók is the primary reference." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ChamberJazz #JohnPatitucci #DavidKikoski http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/diego-pinera-romanian-dance-evidence-2.html

New #review today: "For a band like #MajorParkinson, writing songs about the apocalypse is, one way or another, kind of what they do. Certainly not all of their music, going back to when I first encountered them on Blackbox (2018), is specifically about the catastrophic end of civilization, but you could describe their emotional impact as apocalyptic, even when the lyrics are about some kind of internal personal crisis. So here they are with the second chapter of their Valesa epic, started with Velvet Prison (2022), and it’s called Viva the Apocalypse!" #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ArtRock #ConceptAlbum http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/major-parkinson-valesa-ii-viva-the-apocalypse-2.html

New #review today: "Anyone who’s been paying attention to the world of #ProgressiveRock in the last few years is likely to be aware that #AnthonyGarone is a guitarist with a great amount of technical skill and determination, as well as the ability to talk about music in a way that is both knowledgeable and personable. With OK, But Why? he shows what he’s capable of beyond learning #RobertFripp’s most difficult parts." #ExposeOnline #MathRock #AvantProg #MorganÅgren #MichaelManring #SteveBall #PaulHanson #AndyWest http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/anthony-garone-ok-but-why-2.html

New #review today: "#RienFaire is now up to their third album, the rather brief Le Défilé, and it carries on their quirky brand of #ArtPop; the old descriptor “surrealist nursery rhymes” is still applicable. The songs are catchy and melodic, though singing along is likely limited to French speakers, so humming will do." #ExposeOnline #AvantProgressive #AvantProg #DurEtDoux http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rien-faire-le-defile-2.html

New #review today: "We have previously encountered cellist #JanelLeppin as half of #JanelAndAnthony, as leader of #EnsembleVolcanicAsh, and as a member of Skullcap, but she’s got a lot more going on than just those releases. 2026 sees Cuneiform releasing a pair of albums under her name: Slowly Melting is a true solo effort, while Pluto in Aquarius is another album with Ensemble Volcanic Ash." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #ExperimentalMusic #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/janel-leppin-slowly-melting-pluto-in-aquarius-2.html

New #review today: "#StephanThelen’s Fractal Guitar series is now at its fourth installment, and it follows in the illustrious footsteps of its predecessors with eight tracks of unusual grooves and stellar textural guitar work." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/stephan-thelen-fractal-guitar-4-2.html

New #review today: "The masters of German #PsychedelicFunk and #JazzRock #fusion are back with a new studio album of original material, the follow up to studio album Zoup a couple years back, and 55 years on from the band’s formation, now in your choice of CD, LP, or download." #Kraan #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kraan-all-in-3.html

New #review today: "Artefacts is the latest offering by #ThierryZaboitzeff, composer, cellist, bassist. and much more. The five tracks at hand are mostly instrumental with the exception of the closer, and clock in at a little over 28 minutes total. Taken as a whole, the music here tends to be dark and pensive, but not overwhelmingly so, with plenty of luminous flashes of brilliance." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProg #RIO #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/thierry-zaboitzeff-artefacts-3.html

New #review today: "#Psychowatermelon is a duo consisting of #AlexSavelli and #TommasoMichienzi, two veterans of various projects in various genres. They’re united in a love of old school #krautrock, #ExperimentalElectronics, and movie soundtracks, and they bring all that and more to the table in Ghostpiracy." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/psychowatermelon-ghostpiracy-2.html

New #review today: "As with most of #Corima’s music, Hunab Ku consists of a number of tracks (seven in this case) which comprise a continuous piece of music, with recurring motifs and moods, but all working together as a unified statement. Anyone familiar with Corima’s particular brand of #zeuhl will be at home here." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/corima-humab-ku-2.html

New #review today: "What we have here from #MorrisKolontyrsky is a sound that could be classified as #IndustrialAmbient, recorded in his home studio using Roland JP-8000, Micromoog, Korg Minilogue, Soma Lyra 8, and of course, electric guitar with a full complement of effects and loops, and #SteveRoach is on hand adding additional drones and further sonic enhancements." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic #IndustrialMusic #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/morris-kolontyrsky-origination-3.html

New #review today: "#FabioAnile is known as a pioneer of looping and field recording experiments going back to the mid-90s, participating in the #LoopersDelight Community and other groups, and also released a couple digital albums on the Laverna label between 2011 and 2017. A collaboration with #StephanThelen appeared as a privately released CD in 2023, but Minutiae is his first ever solo release on physical medium." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/fabio-anile-minutiae-3.html

New #review today: "The last two releases by #BrandonSeabrook featured a fairly large ensemble and Seabrook completely on his own. Hellbent Daydream falls in between, with the leader joined by #HenryFraser (bass), #EricaDicker (violin), and #EliasStemeseder (piano and synthesizers). The absence of drums and percussion lends the album a feeling of being #ChamberMusic—really weird chamber music." #ExposeOnline #AvantGarde #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/brandon-seabrook-hellbent-daydream-2.html

New #review today: "#Taupe is a trio based in Glasgow that is exploring the area between #jazz and #AvantGarde electronics, tossing in #MathRock as a bonus. The result on Waxing / Waning is a joyful mess of wild saxophone, freaky guitar, and drums that are spastic and stuttery one moment and rocking heavily the next." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/taupe-waxing-waning-2.html
