“In contrast to Buena Vista’s veneer of faded Copacabana glitz, Ochoa was bracing for his lack of pretense and straight-forward emotional communication.”

“It was one of world music’s most heartwarming stories of the 1990s. Guided by American guitarist and producer Ry Cooder, the Buena Vista Social Club cast a worldwide spotlight on a collective of celebrated Cuban musicians well into their twilight years … [but] as Eliades Ochoa proved, some of these musicians aren’t ready for the final curtain.

He coaxed dulcet tones from his guitar, and his voice had a sumptuous patina.”

• Featured at SXSW, Eugene Mirman Comedy Fest, and Sundance.

• Has appeared on “Key & Peele,” “Comedy Bang! Bang!,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and “Harry’s Law” opposite Kathy Bates.

By a Thread is the debut album of Los Angelesbased comedian Emily Maya Mills. A long-time straddler of sketch and stand-up, she’s been featured at SXSW, The Eugene Mirman Comedy Fest, and at Sundance, as well as on “Key & Peele,” “Comedy Bang! Bang!,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” The Birthday Boys,” “The UCB Show,” and even in a tear-drenched turn on “Harry’s Law” opposite Kathy Bates (for which she did not win an Emmy®).

Emily’s UCBTLA solo show, “God Hates Figs,” earned her a review from the LA Weekly entitled, “Could Emily Maya Mills Be The Next Carol Burnett?” The answer is no, and the question is blasphemous, though flattering enough to fuel delusions of grandeur for years to come. Emily was born and raised in San Francisco and has a PhD in parallel parking.

“Hysterical.”

As the only surviving male vocalist of the venerable Buena Vista Social Club, singer and guitarist Eliades Ochoa carries a weighty past. Born in Cuba in 1946, Ochoa learned to play the guitar at age six. As an adult, he performed with many bands, including Cuarteto Patria, a Cuban folk group.

But he hit it big in 1997 with the Buena Vista Social Club, whose self-titled album sold several million copies and reignited international interest in traditional Cuban music. Now, with the historic thawing of relations between the U.S and Cuba, this music is receiving yet another revival!

While taking some time off from touring and promoting their first album Hemispheres (2012), Florida’s Alexander & The Grapes began collecting as much recording equipment as they could and eventually built their own home studio, affectionately called Yoko Phono. Friend, engineer, and producer Jeremy Mendicino (of Boston’s Pretty & Nice) was flown down to Florida to help the band record 2016’s Hyper Self out of the 50+ songs they had written during that time. Almost gone, but certainly not forgotten, is the band’s original playing field of insurgent country and Americana.

In its place, the Grapes explore new territory, particularly 1990s indie and garage rock with a fair share of sonic psychedelic soundscapes. “[The Grapes are] at their best now with a potent mixture of folk rock and power pop.”

This album constitutes the entire musical part of a large-scale live audiovisual performance piece based around the actions and decisions of whistleblower Edward Snowden, with the visuals included as downloadable content.

Matthew Collings is a Scotland-based composer who collaborates regularly with artists from all kinds of fields including Dag Rosenqvist from Jasper, TX and Denovali labelmate Talvihorros.

He’s responsible for several installations using custom-made software, which have been exhibited at Burning Man Festival in San Francisco and Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts. His work for film includes a specially-commissioned live score for Dziga Vertov’s 1929 silent classic, The Man with the Movie Camera, and an invitation to work on The Invisibles, a commission from Amnesty International.

“By turns politically muscular and poignantly nuanced, Collings’ excellent piece is a heartening reminder of the quality of new music being created and performed in Scotland today.”

“A mix of organic instruments and processed tones, this album was pretty engrossing from the first listen.”

“Atmospherics and chime that wends an ’80s/’90s path of indie/gaze in the slightly artful corner.”

“Full of intricate details.”

Kuba Kapsa is a Polish pianist and composer, who served as leader of the avant-jazz combo Contemporary Noise Sextet (2006–2014).

Beyond that, he is a renowned composer for film and theater. His latest venture is the first of a sophisticated series of projects of modern classical music bearing the common title “Vantdraught.”

The first part of the series, called Vantdraught 10 Vol. 1, featured 10 classical instruments: four violins, two violas, cello, vibraphone, marimba, and piano. This second part is Vantdraught 4, a quartet album written for violin, clarinet/bass clarinet, trombone, and piano.

The minimalistic style is preserved, although the music is less repetitive and much more intimate. And, much like its predecessor, Vantdraught 4 features astonishing artwork based on “The Reluctant Conscript” by seminal artist duo Kahn & Selesnick.

Originally released on CD back in 2006, this is the debut album from San Diego’s The Donkeys, now available on a high-quality vinyl pressing for the very first time! Recorded by Jason Quever (Papercuts), this album was an auspicious and ambitious debut from the band, capturing an early eclecticism that provides some insight into the hard-charging psychedelic country rock they are known for today. The album runs from moody and atmospheric psychedelia to buoyant rock in the blink of an eye, and is full of songs that have been setlist favorites for this 200-shows-a-year band for a decade.

Formed in 2011 after playing as part of world-famous piano duo Katia & Marielle Labeque’s Minimalist Dreamhouse in London, this trio forged an immediate bond. Coming from very different worlds — classical, avant-garde, and rock — their challenge was to engage in songwriting that would be both simple and full of inspiration from their very different backgrounds. The resulting sound exceeds its parts; bridging the gap between UNKLE, Bohren & Der Club of Gore, and timeless soundtrack compositions, the trio has made an astounding collection of tracks as unique as they are captivating.

Ionophore is the project of the Bay Area/London-based multiinstrumentalists Leila Abdul-Rauf, Jan Hendrich, and Ryan Honaker.

The trio weaves dark electronics and neoclassical soundscapes with heavy drones, seamlessly melding the orchestral strings of Honaker, the horns and voice of Abdul-Rauf, and the electronic manipulations of Hendrich. Working closely with mastering magician Myles Boisen (known for his work with Angelo Badalamenti, John Zorn, and Fred Frith), the result is an entrancing original sound, combining cinematic tones with beat-driven, ethereal ambience.

In Amenra’s case it’s extremely tempting to use every superlative in the book, but in the vein of the attitude that is pouring out of the band’s every pore, here’s to keeping it modest. Amenra have been paving their own headstrong way in the 12 years since their inception, from overlooked releases and poorly attended shows to critically acclaimed albums, sold-out shows, and the utmost respect of their listeners, peers, and even heroes. Always putting their hearts and souls into every note, they have changed the course of people’s lives everywhere their path leads them.

Arriving on the scene in 1993 with their self-titled demo, Yen Pox immediately made their presence known with an ability to create monumental, light-devouring soundscapes that transcended all that had come before. With Between the Horizon and the Abyss as their first full-length recording in over 15 years, Yen Pox will never be accused of being prolific. After all, with the two members spread between Indiana and Washington, creating new material doesn’t exactly lend itself to convenience. But on the rare occasion that recordings do arise, they are nothing short of masterful, reminding listeners why the duo has achieved such notoriety with such a limited discography, and why their recordings are consistently recognized as benchmarks within the dark ambient genre.
