Ended Saturday and welcomed Sunday after a little lie-in with 43 Odes by 43 Odes released on Eiderdown Records in 2019.

"Post-industrial folk jams from members of the beloved Jewelled Antler collective, 43 ODES is a shimmering soundtrack to evening strolls in windswept landscapes. Sublime and ecstatic odes to the human condition and the infinite worlds that surround us."

All Strange Beasts Of The Past by Thuja, released on Emperor Jones in 2002

Brandan Stosuy wrote for Pitchfork:

"Listening to Thuja, it's hard not to imagine a pantomiming circle of witches. Or warlocks, I guess. All Strange Beasts of the Past, the quartet's fourth album, is especially backwoods esoteric.."

Review by Ned Raggett

One of the entries in the Jewelled Antler Library series, All Strange Beasts of the Past balances between six shorter selections of improvisation and a lengthy concluding piece, all untitled. It shows the Thuja collective in good creative health, here focusing on calmer, quieter numbers in general, though hardly lacking in the mysterious, almost antique feeling that pervades their work at its best...

These Villages by Hala Strana, released on Soft Abuse in 2004.

Smekermann wrote on Bandcamp:

New listeners should be aware that this album is a lot more drone-oriented than previous Hala Strana albums. Having said that, the first four songs on this are among the best Hala Strana songs ever written, imho. It does veer into some pretty hardcore, buzzing drone on Fear of the Land, but then that gives way to Nepdal Tarogaton, which is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, so it all works out in the end. I’d say that’s par for the album - it mixes oppressive drone with gorgeous folk passages. Favorite track: The Great Season.
