The Girl Behind the Forest
by Sawak
supported by 11 fans who also own “Eli Chen”
A band at their most sublime and subdued work. Restrained beauty and tension through traditional instrumentation and found sounds. Less "rock", but maybe my favorite from them.

the end is always too soon
by Phirnis / qualchan.
supported by 9 fans who also own “Eli Chen”
It's always interesting seeing qualchan. splitting pieces up with more noisier, abrasive artists on his albums whenever he does. There's a nice contrast to be found between the more sporadic, experimental loops on the first half when you get to pair with a more cohesive force, like watching a thick darkness melt over onto a perfectly sculpted statue and create something oddly captivating. Fans of either experimental, industrial loop work and psychedelic tape manipulations will like this one.

DEATH SPELLS
by HOLY FAWN
The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis.

A Quiet Divide
by Rhian Sheehan
A sublime merger of post-rock solemnity and cinematic grandeur, the composer's first album in five years unfolds as a protean tour-de-force.
