"‘Another Mississippi Sunday Morning’ is a celebration of the human voice and its capacity to strive for goodness even in circumstances of extreme adversity. It is an old-fashioned but richly emotional, astounding record."

Avalanche Kaito's "Talitakum" and Julián Mayorga's "Chak Chak Chak Chak" are on the Far Out Magazine "10 Best Avant-garde Albums" from 2024 list. Bravo!

Julian Mayorga:
"Julián Mayorga is perhaps the most original artist that the nation (Colombia) has witnessed in recent years, dedicating himself to creating works that are equal parts bizarre and compelling. His ninth studio album feels akin to a sonic assault on the senses, featuring blaring alarms, chanting vocal tracks, and high-energy soundscapes."

Avalanche Kaito:
"Welcome to the overwhelming world of Kaito Winse and his collaboration with Belgian noise punks Benjamin Chaval and Nico Gritto. Alongside Winse’s upbeat Burkinabe griot, their knack for a heady overture creates a sound unlike any other in the world. In fact, Talitakum might just be the most original album of the year with regard to the illustrious alloy of sound they create."

From John Cale to Avalanche Kaito, we run through the best avant-garde albums released in 2024; a year that has been full of experimentalism in music

"Some records ease you in, but not Talitakum—Talitakum kicks off with what sounds like an army of malfunctioning scooter horns. If you survive that barrage, still intrigued, then a journey awaits you." ★★★★
- Far Out Magazine // Avalanche Kaito - Talitakum

Avalanche Kaio, consisting of Burkinabe griot legend Kaito Winse and Belgian industrial duo Nico Gitto and Benjamin Chaval, create mercurial music.

🌟 We're thrilled to share that Landless's album Lúireach has been named The Guardian's No. 1 Folk Album of 2024! 🎶✨

"Sometimes the human voice is all you need, communicating something essential about our drive to exist together as a species, to sound our internal worlds in union, at volume."

We're so proud of this amazing achievement! Thank you Landless!

Traditional songs in dub, Irish keening with touches of Yoko Ono and shape-note hymns with sound-processing were among the year’s records renewing an ever elusive genre

Landless's gorgeous album "L​ú​ireach" is one of the top ten albums of the year at KLOF Mag. Congrats Landless!

"London’s folk scene might be hot right now, but Dublin’s has been in a great place for the last decade. The quartet of Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinéad Lynch add to the good work done by ØXN, John Francis Flynn and Lankum, with eerie four-part harmonies, drones, clavichords, singing bowls and Slovakian folk songs. Their second album is gripping, unnerving and addictive."

Thomas Blake shares his Top 10 albums of 2024, including releases from Daisy Rickman, Milkweed, Elijah Minnelli, Jacken Elswyth, Isik Kural, Laura J Martin, Shovel Dance Collective, Myriam Gendron, Tucker Zimmerman, Landless and Folklore Tapes Ceremonial Counties Series.

"The electronic patterns that form the spine of each piece are minimalist in inspiration but maximalist in ex*****on … dense and disorientating but ultimately delightful.” ★★★★

"Naturally, BaBa ZuLa doesn't use the old form, but they have modernized it while retaining the psychedelic qualities that define their sound. As a result, the music is mostly meditative, floating, and dreamy, with experimentation and improvisation playing an important role."
- Ekultura.hu // BaBa ZuLa - İstanbul Sokakları

Egyszerre megnyugtató és dühítő, hogy a török BaBa ZuLa együttes mondanivalója még mindig aktuális. Azért dühítő, mert ezek a muzsikusok nyitott szemmel járják hazájukat és a világot,...
