From the opening selection “Nocturnes, Op. 9 No. 1_No. 1 in B-Flat Minor” to the closing “Nocturnes, posth._No. 21 in C minor” French pianist Elizabeth Sombart tickles the ivories with refinement in her 21-song album, Singing The Nocturnes. Sombart cultivates Frederic Chopin’s masterpieces into a splendid experience. It’s been said and it sounds cliché, that music
Wintry albums frequently suggest themes of life and death, suffering and pleasure, as well as the desire to change and become something stronger and more affectionate than we ever knew we could be, and to this end Streaking in Tongues’ Christmas with Bigfoot is quite the conceptual and on-point listen. In collaboration with poet Marty Achatz, Streaking

It is not hard picturing a young Vikki SOTA daydreaming before sleep or during school about a day when he’d have the money to buy a nice pair of shoes or entertain thousands upon thousands like his musical heroes. His dreams became his goals and that is what motivated him. He clutched the proverbial bull
Songs from an Empty Room is Rory D’Lasnow’s new EP release and its five songs are full of the interiority its title implies.

Sumner’s single “American Man” has the feel of
