The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) , Victor Erice

Widely regarded as a masterpiece of Spanish cinema, this allegorical tale is set in a remote village in the 1940s. The life in the village is calm and uneventful -- an allegory of Spanish life after General Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War. While their father (Fernando Fernán Gómez) studies bees in his beehive and their mother (Teresa Gimpera) writes letters to a non-existent correspondent, two young girls, Ana (Ana Torrent) and Isabel (Isabel Telleria), go to see James Whale's Frankenstein at a local cinema. Though they can hardly understand the concept, both girls are deeply impressed with the moment when a little girl gives a flower to the monster. Isabel, the older sister, tells Ana that the monster actually exists as a spirit that you can't see unless you know how to approach him. Ana starts wandering around the countryside in search of the kind creature. The film received critical accolades for its subtle and masterful use of cinematic language and the expressive performance of the young Ana Torrent.

Fronted by singer/songwriter Alynda Lee Segarra, Look Out Mama is the third album from New Orleans-based Hurray for the Riff Raff. Steeped in traditional folk music, Look Out Mama is a dazzling mix of fresh Americana that will immediately draw listeners' attention. Combining elements of The Carter Family, The Band, and rockabilly with some classic yodelling, Look Out Mama rides high on the smooth, honey vocals of Segarra.

Karen Dalton – 1966 (2012)

Picture the great American folk artists of the 1960s and 70s sitting for a group portrait; Karen Dalton’s there, but her figure’s a blur, flitting restlessly out of frame. Dalton hated recording and felt at best ambivalent about performing in front of strangers (she much preferred playing for friends, on porches and in living rooms), which means that although she’s got one of those voices that gets talked about in hushed, reverent tones by everyone from Bob Dylan to Devendra Banhart, she preferred to sit out the kind of rituals that secure a person a snug spot in the canon. She didn’t don face paint and a gypsy costume and hit the road with the Rolling Thunder Revue, she didn’t dance The Last Waltz under Scorsese’s spotlights, and– years after her flight from Greenwich Village to Colorado– she’s present on the Basement Tapes only as the elusive subject of Richard Manuel’s beguiled plea: “Dear Katie, if you can hear me…/ How much longer will you be gone?”

Gravenhurst – The Ghost In Daylight (2012)

Bristol songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nick Talbot’s fourth album for Warp is a gorgeously hallucinatory affair, marking a slight shift towards late-80s/early-90s psychedelia. The Ghost … occasionally conjures up the Stone Roses’s gentler moments, the hymnal sections of Spacemen 3′s Playing With Fire and the Church’s hazy masterpiece, Priest = Aura. And yet, for all the melancholy beauty, there’s an atmosphere of quiet disturbance which makes it chime eerily with our times. The sense of creeping unease is typified by The Foundry, which begins with a plangent electronic intro like something off the Eno-led Roxy Music debut, but veers into an essay on the everyday origins of evil, crystallized in the malevolent main character. These are terrific, understated songs with a church-like serenity, but hooks that reel you in, too: the endlessly repeated guitar motif on Circadian; the way the sublime The Prize gathers momentum towards a frazzled climax. It adds up to a beautifully haunting set, and the sense that Talbot is surely among music’s best-kept secrets.

Heidi Harris – In the Lee (2012)

When Heidi Harris makes music, everything seems simultaneously casual and careful. Her gestures, vocal or instrumental, seem as natural and organic as breathing, as though they were simply inevitable, but they also sound as deliberately positioned as jigsaw pieces. This effect is partly due to her approach to production, which focusses on the creation of an ambience above all else.
There is a very spatial sound to these recordings, with a very natural sounding reverb, but also an aleatory feel to much of the orchestration, which reinforces the sense of objects positioned in space. The result of this is that her recordings encode silence, in a way that most do not. Sure, when there’s no sound there’s no sound, but with the perfection of digital recording silence is often too complete to register as such, reading instead as an absence of playback.

James Blackshaw – Love is the Plan, the Plan is Death (2012)

James Blackshaw has long been a shining light in the world of virtuoso guitar playing. In the same way his compositions build and bloom slowly and steadily, Blackshaw has, over eight previous albums, quietly but insistently made a name for himself with his stunning, inhuman abilities on the guitar and his ability to mesh that with a knack for tone and texture, so that his albums are rarely about just virtuosity but rather about virtuosity as a road to beautiful, melodic songs.
On recent records, he's pushed his musical palate past the usual acoustic playing into other realms. 2009's The Glass Bead Game closed with the stunning 19-minute "Arc," which featured Blackshaw playing simply enough on a piano while slowly drenching the notes in chorus effects, so that by songs end each note has blurred into the other to make a dizzyingly huge sound. 2010's All Is Falling found Blackshaw experimenting with electric 12-sting guitar for the first time, and the results were equally expansive, pushing Blackshaw past the intimate organic sound of his acoustic guitar and into something larger, airier.

The Haunting(Robert Wise, 1963)

Dr. Markway, doing research to prove the existence of ghosts, investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical young Luke, who stands to inherit the house, the mysterious and clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor, whose psychic abilities make her feel somehow attuned to whatever spirits inhabit the old mansion. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.

Nasim is an Afghani refugee who is in dire need of money to pay for treatment of his ailing wife. Unable to find work, he wagers to spend an entire week on a bicycle, circling the area outside his town.
