Haiku Project has just released a new album, Life. “Little Calf” begins things, taking listeners on a journey that gradually shifts and changes. The Haiku Project is able to paint a vivid picture that showcases not only the titular creature but the rolling green space in which the animal can be found. Ending before the five-minute mark, “Little Calf” moves fans into “A Turtle Song.” “A Turtle Song” brings a little bit of wind-swept 1960’s country and western and 1970’s desert rock guitar into the mix.

Breathe, Carl Borden's sophomore release on the Real Music label, begins with “I Lift My Hands.” This four and a half minute introductory song blends together bold synth lines that set the stage for the approaches and environment to follow, and will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Borden's ability to create such a coherent introductory statement is unparalleled.
