"Turn Out the Lights" is the second album from this Memphis based singer/songwriter. At just 21, Baker is wise beyond her years & this is an incredibly mature album. Many of the songs deal with themes of break-ups & depression & the record definitely has a chilly, autumn feel to it so it's release is well-timed. The guitars are crisp & clean with a good amount of chorus & some tasteful string accompaniment. Musically, there are hints of emo on the edges of this, with nods at EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY or AMERICAN FOOTBALL triumph that doesn't ever really materialize, instead Baker's gut-wrenching voice & lyrics provides all of the atmosphere & bombast that would likely be ruined by a big rhythm section. Fans of her first album, Sharon Van Etten, CAT POWER etc...will love. RECOMMENDED.

The legendary minimalist William Basinski returns with a haunting album that's perfect for these gloomy winter months. Comprised of washed-out, damaged & decaying tape loops going back to 1979, the album has a beautiful & timeless mood that will please fans of his work & maybe get him as famous on tiktok as CARETAKER. RECOMMENDED.

Masaki Batoh, member of Japan's longstanding psych/folk band GHOST (not to be confused with the corpse paint wearing Europeans), has spent years researching brain waves that are extracted with a supposedly rather simple machine & how these can effect music. The project got off-track a bit because of the big Earthquake in 2011. The album owes a lot to traditional Japanese folk & most pieces have a cyclical, meditative effect. The album is dedicated to victims of the natural disaster & all album proceeds go to the quake victims.
