Rune Glerup’s (b. 1981) 'Perhaps Thus the End', written for and dedicated to Quatuor Diotima, delves into the cyclical rhythms of life, evoking the absurd beauty of Beckett’s world, where routine moments like park strolls and barroom musings take on new meaning. In contrast, Glerup’s Clarinet Quintet, featuring clarinettist Jonas Frølund, weaves together influences from Brahms to Boulez. This intricate work merges past and present, paying homage to the musical voices that shaped Glerup’s own sound.

The Sirius Quartet speaks past the veil in INCANTATIONS, a collection of nine works honoring memory, grief, and the aspect of loss as it appears in our interpersonal and social relationships. The music of INCANTATIONS is a speaking vessel to concentrate the profound loss experienced at the individual and communal level in recent decades into a great beyond, a release of grief for its composers, performers, and listeners alike. Exploring grief as it exists in political, cultural, and familial spaces, the Sirius Quartet commentates on the loss of loved ones as eloquently as it commentates on the loss of shared humanity in the great American political divide, or the devastating loss afflicted by unnecessary war.

Limited edition box set contains the albums In the Aeroplane Over the Sea LP and On Avery Island 2-LP, a 12" picture disc pressing of Live at Jittery Joe's, two 10" vinyl EPs, three 7" vinyl singles, and two folded posters plus other inserts. The two full-length records that Jeff Mangum made as Neutral Milk Hotel sound both in and out of time. Like translations of a shared subconscious, 1996's On Avery Island and 1998's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea give voice to the perennial spirit of youthful epiphany, of beginning to see the world clearly, to process and express it- no matter when you encounter them. With lo-fi indie rock, accordion, singing saw, tape collages, the so-called "zanzithophone" and beyond, Neutral Milk Hotel created an eternal entry into their Elephant 6 scene and an enduring feeling of possibility.

A rock & roll open secret: U2 care very much about what other people say about them. Ever since they hit the big time in 1987 with The Joshua Tree, every album is a response to the last – rather, a response to the response, a way to correct the mistakes of the last album: Achtung Baby erased the roots rock experiment Rattle and Hum, All That You Can't Leave Behind straightened out the fumbling Pop, and 2009's No Line on the Horizon is a riposte to the suggestion they played it too safe on 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
