Israel Vines - And Now We Know Nothing (Interdimensional Transmissions)
It’s the sound of apparatus roiling about, rusty hardware in motion (...) Grinding, mechanical, a uniform of clinks, turning of cogs, the giant machine speaking in its own vernacular. — John-Paul Shiver

Chaos Motion - Psychological Spasms Cacophony (Transcending Obscurity)
The death metal avant garde continues to embrace atonality and compositional complexity, and Mexican quartet Chaos Motion, whose name is incredibly apt, are pushing the music into the same realms of science fiction hyper-technicality and inhumanity occupied by Spain’s Wormed, among others. — Phil Freeman

By avoiding superfluous expressive artifice they allow this music to breathe. — Julian Cowley

The London Sound Survey - Thames (Persistence of Sound)
“Tower Bridge North Bascule Chamber” sounds like a vast music box, and the tune that it plays could well have been a new work by Varèse or Ligeti. The raw, harmonious swelling of engines is quite captivating, reminding us that machines are sequenced in their actions just like a musical composition – even the whining of its parts is in tune. — Ken Hollings

Wendy Eisenberg - The Machinic Unconscious (Tzadik)

On the trio date The Machinic Unconscious she deals in scalding noise-puke, spurting out molten gouts of heat, with little regard for public safety. — Daniel Spicer

With barely a single hook, and a bunch of tracks cutting off abruptly after just a few dozen bars, these sets can feel like the hiphop equivalent to Dean Benedetti’s legendary bootlegs of Charlie Parker. Where those tapes contained nothing but the saxophonist’s solos, dropping out when anyone else picked up the tune, these tracks leave room for nothing but bars. — Rob Turner

But it is also – and this is so important – an authoritative collection that now brings Radigue securely into the cultural archives of the French state. — Louise Gray

Puce Mary - The Drought (Pan)
Her peers revel in fantasies of sex, power and death; meanwhile, the Puce Mary project engages with the same drives from a different perspective, grappling with intimacy, vulnerability and the horrors of the ageing process. This might somehow imply The Drought is a soft or sanitised take on the genre. In fact if anything, the opposite is true. — Louis Pattison

[T]he closing track is a bed for actor Emma Watson’s speech to the UN on gender equality. Her feminist call to arms, delivered in quivering RP, feels, frankly, a bit normie for a record that claims to be about “Butler’s personal juncture with the Queerverse”, but you can’t fault the tunes. — Chal Ravens

[Q]uestions about cultural appropriation have orbited the album for years. Kidjo’s homage transforms the nature of these questions, both by infusing the songs with a new, collaborative authenticity and radiating a playful, open-hearted brilliance that makes Eno’s original production seem self-conscious by comparison. — Emily Pothast

The intensely bluesy “Evening Might Still” (...) is a stomping opener, with shades of Keith Jarrett. “Frank Lloyd Wright Goes West To Rest” recalls Don Pullen’s take on Cecil Taylor, with the funky attack of Horace Silver. In time, I reckon, these individual influences have melded into a totally coherent style. — Andy Hamilton
