The Armchair Captains’ latest album The Shrub Layer is named after that part of the forest that sits awkwardly between the canopy and the soil, full of smaller plants, brambles, and a surprising amount of life you’ll never see unless you get your knees muddy. The band’s implication is clear: they live here now, surrounded

Some albums exist to sit with you when things don’t make sense. Permanent Solution for a Temporary Problem, the latest by Sjelløs, is one of those. It’s
