Boy Is Fiction extends both ends of the sonic spectrum: going deeper into complex, cinematic sound design for ambient passages and cranking up the intricacy of his glitchy, multilayered beats.

GCOM :: E2-XO (!K7)
An evolution, a new chapter, an expansion of scope and sonic texture—GCOM’s E2-XO not just fulfills the promise of the earlier GC material but brings it into new galaxies of expression and meaning.
Serge Geyzel :: Limbo (Diffuse Reality)
With this release, Geyzel shows he can add electro to the list of styles he’s got in the toolbelt. Fast, funky, and smart, this release is a great addition to the genre.
Proswell :: 生津波 (Self Released)
The layers of harmonic counterpoint, production polish, and textural depth take on additional meaning. 生津波 provided a creative outlet and target of focus for Misra during the writing process. Fortuitously, the finished product can provide the same benefits for us as listeners.
Trichome :: Mind Body Complexing (Schematic Music Company)
Mind Body Complexing presents the refinement and enhancement of live synth jams, into seven tightly wrought, impossibly funky tracks.
Ochre :: An Eye to Windward (Self Released)
Listen to Ochre, but take heed, traveler—this soundtrack to your ambient journey demands vigilance, lest you fall victim to its charms. Keep a steady Eye to Windward and be wary of its siren song.
Tapage :: Recover (Point Source Electronic Arts)
If you’ve ever rocked out to a Gridlock track or gotten into an debate about whether Envane or Cichlisuite is the best late-90s Autechre EP, this album is for you.
Infinite Scale :: A Little Tale of Forest Lewis (Ecoshock)
Swelling strings and a meditative piano line play out the end of the release. The stylistic detour into pure-ambient suits Palda’s skills well and overall A Little Tale of Forest Lewis is a soothing, well-crafted listen.
