Julien Ash + Philippe Neau :: Les allées tourbillonnaires (Mahorka)
Titled Les allées tourbillonnaires, this new release is a shadowy and immersive exploration of sound motifs and sonic details extracted from environmental noises and green-field recordings.
Chris Herbert :: Grisaille (Room40)
Chris Herbert’s Grisaille is a haunting journey through grainy ambient textures, fractured memories and shadowy soundscapes where beauty emerges from the dust of decaying dreams.
Dodenskald & Wilted Perch :: Bound To Substance (Noctivagant Collective)
Bound To Substance explores the negative psychological effects of self-isolation, mental deprivation, and existential loneliness, as well as feelings of estrangement and parapsychic projections.
Mathias Villard :: Past Radiance (Affin)
Mathias Villard is a very promising sound artist and Past Radiance can easily figure among my top favorite albums for this year. Exquisite, wistful, cinematic, alluring and emotionally transportive. For fans of Alessandro Cortini, Bvdub, Loscil, Markus Fjellström and Terence Hannum. Once more, Affin proves to be in the first league concerning modern-day ambient-lush drone music.
Pulsar + Demetrio Cecchitelli :: Fade In Brighter Age (Mahorka)
A mesmerizing collision of ambient, jazz, electronics and ritualistic textures, this album unfolds like a deep-space journey that never loses its human pulse.
Irezumi :: Downfall (Brique Rouge)
Irezumi returns with a deeply immersive ambient journey where granular textures, subtle electronic details, and melancholic atmospheres unfold into a beautifully restrained world of sound.
Lost Myths :: Lost Myths vol. VII (Lotophagus)
All in all, an emotionally intoxicating, bizarre yet alluring ghostly-ambient trip, augmented by dark clouds of noisy elements.
Steve Hauschildt :: Aeropsia (Simul)
Steve Hauschildt returns after six years with a new album on Simul, still experimenting with the vast territories of audio research and panoramic, sentient ambient music on Aeropsia.
New Risen Throne :: Of Grey Grounds (Eighth Tower)
As always with New Risen Throne, this album is massive, cathedralic, orchestral, sonically transportive, with hints of doom-laden epicness. Recommended for fans of deep ambient music with a cinematic, moody-esque, dystopian edge. Fans of Lustmord, Svartsinn, Phaenon, Dodmaskin, Psychonaut, Aeoga… won’t be disconcerted.
Phantom Horse :: Primal Forms (Umor Rex)
Primal Forms is quite a propulsive and beautifully elaborated electronic synthedelica effort that will ravish listeners of adventurous music with dancing, then hallucinogenic qualities. The synergy between the two musicians works like magic and with a clear easiness.
