Secular Works, Vol. 2
by Extra Life
supported by 28 fans who also own “Audio Journal, 04 October 2022”
Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music.

Thymiamatascension
by Alora Crucible
supported by 23 fans who also own “Audio Journal, 04 October 2022”
Hard to compete with They Are The Shield for me, but this stands up to it. Barriers Hymn might be the strongest emotional reaction I’ve had to a Driver piece since The Second Operation - so excellent.

Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea
by Olivia Block
The Chicago composer turns her own grappling with Covid isolation into a kind of imaginary sci-fi soundtrack.

Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges.
