"Luciferian Towers"
by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hortur”
After being a bit underwhelmed by LYSFLATH! and God's Pee, my expectations were low going in on this record, which probably really helped my enjoyement! While the other 2 records were also pretty good, I was just let down by the expectations that other people have built especially around the first one. But Luciferian Towers is so powerful and uplifting, really diverse in its rhythms and instrumentation. Also much more melody and a more sensible amount of repetition than on the other 2 records

A Hound's Heart
by William Ryan Fritch
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hortur”
A slow paced collection of fascinating folky instrumentals built from an exstensive assortment of instruments and sounds. Hard to categorise, but easy to listen to.

Eyeball Planet
by Mother Iguana
A song cycle about insomnia, “Eyeball Planet” is full of lush, orchestral folk-pop that drifts by like a dream.
