Montreal quintet Esmerine explore that liminal zone between post-rock and drone-based minimalism, and their Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More (Constellation) is dominated by lovely, spartan melodies played on strings and piano. Her latest, Broken Gargoyles (Intravenal Sound Operations), is filled with strangled banshee wails, creaky medieval drones, dark ritualistic utterances in German and horror-movie soundscapes that are genuinely quite terrifying. Diamanda Gal ás is one of the few contemporary artists whose music can truly be described as gothic.
Sam Gendel, Carlos Niño and Jim O’Rourke guest. Takuro Okada is a 29-year-old Japanese guitarist whose album Betsu No Jikan (Newhere Music/Space Shower Music/Bandcamp) starts with an oblique version of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, but it’s the trippy astral jazz of Alice Coltrane that dominates – an all-enveloping riot of low-volume percussion, quavering sax solos, rippling piano and woozy string instruments. Occasionally, this cacophony sounds sublime. The result is often similar to one of Charles Ives’s polytonal pieces – but, where Ives replicated the sound of, say, a brass band marching past a church choir, Smith’s music often sounds like a dozen mobile phone ringtones going off in a video games arcade while a west African drum circle rehearse on the street outside.

Elsewhere the minimalism collides with poppy electronica and Afrobeat rhythms, as if tape footage from a dozen sessions has been cut into fragments and assembled at random. Some tracks on this new album hark back to Smith’s earlier fascinations: Check Your Translation, Pivot Signal and Then The Wind Came draw from Reichian phased minimalism, but here these glistening arpeggios are overlaid with heavenly, digitally harmonised vocals.
