The Dream House is the first album of new material from Windy & Carl in five years. Recorded at their home studio in Dearborn, MI it consists of two tracks. The Dream House is in many ways the duo's simplest and most straight-forward release, concentrated as it is on two evolving pieces. It is also Windy & Carl's most ambitious recording, with the duo deliberating on longer forms. Windy & Carl are capable of sustaining melodic ideas and patiently apply attention to singular musical gestures. Windy Weber describes the album as being about "death and dreams and beliefs and leaving and moving on." The second disc, Dedications to Flea, are gentle tributes to a departed canine friend.

When was the last time you heard someone singing softly with an acoustic guitar about blotting out the sun with a stream of opaque bile? Deceptively low key, Boduf Songs skirts between singer-songwriter, psychedelic, home recorder and folk modes. With a touch of computer intervention for good measure.

Though best known for his work in Town & Country, who have been experimenting in acoustic resonance, minimalist composition and world musics for the past seven years, Ben Vida has been a prominent player in the Chicago music scene, placing himself at the nexus between improvised and acoustic minimalist musics. He has played and recorded with Central Falls, Terminal 4, Pillow and Everyoned. Green Inferno is Vida's second solo recording, a long-in-coming successor to Mpls., which was released on Brent Gutzeit's Boxmedia label in 1999. Boxmedia described Mpls. as "a record of delicate acoustic guitar compositions, soft melodic songs with hidden teeth." Green Inferno is a different beast, showing its teeth with dense percussive tracks and droning narcotic folk reveries. Ben Vida describes it as an attempt to fuse all of his favourite aspects of the groups he has been playing in.
