The life and work of pioneering poet and director Pier Paolo Pasolini casts a long shadow over this record from French artist Karen Jebane, also known as Golem Mecanique. The album’s title, which translates as “we are all in danger”, is derived from the final interview Pasolini gave before his still-unsolved murder in 1975, and a sense of threat pervades the record from start to finish. This is a dense, foreboding album, its scale and texture as unforgiving as a vast, broiling body of water.

It takes a while to sync up with this Joni Void record. The latest LP from the Montréal artist is a fluttery, meandering piece of work, somehow restless and comforting at the same time. It’s hard to know exactly where to start with it, not because it is necessarily opaque or alienating, but somehow over-familiar, like staggering around a city you’ve only dreamed about before. At one point, a distant voice even calls out “I know this place” in detached, glassy-eyed style.
