Brian McBride - The Effective Disconnect (Kranky)
Delicately balanced between drone and melody, The Effective Disconnect is the latest recording from Brian McBride, better known as one half of electronica duo Stars of the Lid. Here, he composes a slow-building soundtrack for documentary Vanishing of the Bees. Suitably filmic, these eleven micro-suites are dominated by plaintive piano, sweeping strings and twinkling melodies.

Robin James - Paper Earth (Pocket Size)
This spare, unsettling and spookily powerful album is like a missive from another age. Singer/songwriter Robin James abandoned London for a life of quiet contemplation. He now lives on top of a rectory in Yorkshire, listening to Gregorian chants and growing vegetables. But this back to basics lifestyle doesn’t seem to have given him much peace of mind: Paper Earth is a long dark night of the soul in musical form.
