An album conceived as if it were played by a bodiless orchestra, where resonances, feedback, Tibetan bells, synths, and trumpet come together in an electro-acoustic tone guided only by the intent with which it was created.

Departure Street :: Phantom Sightings (Wormhole World)
Minimalistic guitar music that works as an easy going soundscape for a minimally distracting background that does not require your absolute attention, but it can also satisfy the need for details and perfect construction.
Alessandro Barbanera :: In Darkness Let Me Dwell (Owl Totem)
An epic imaginary soundtrack for a fanciful film noir. In a dreamlike and nocturnal atmosphere, filled with rain and decaying sounds, In Darkness Let Me Dwell—available on Owl Totem, a “dark vibes” division of Dronarivm Records—deconstructs, reworks and wants to pay homage to the imagery and clichés of cinema noir.
Fields We Found :: Resolve / Relate 01 (quiet details)
This sonic exploration series is the product of many durational and deep-listening sessions, unfolding gradually over time and in constant flux, texturally and spatially3made to take your time with and see how your experience shifts across multiple listens.
Anna Homler :: Reverie (Right Brain)
Reverie is a tour of unadorned castles in the air, playful and strange vocals, music inspiring pleasant dream-like thoughts, expressed with wordless musical vocalisms, fluid speech-like syllables that might lack any readily comprehensible meaning, an extravagant conceit of the imagination, a lost sense of dreaming while awake. There is an extraordinary array of great talent here.
David Helpling & Eric “the” Taylor :: The Precious Dark (Spotted Peccary Music)
The Precious Dark is an invitation to drift, to dissolve, to explore the places between atoms and memory. With the promise of the precious wonder that lies in shadow, here darkness is celebrated, with surprises, haunted territories, and the tingling horror of wonderful black shadows.
Xerxes The Dark :: Absurd (Zāl)
This heavy dark ambient drone album explores themes of false hopes and empty feelings, reflecting the absence of hope in our seemingly meaningless lives. These extended dark atmospheres feature a blend of warm soundscapes, melodic synthesizer accents and raw scratchy elements.
Comechelet x ϙue :: TIME (re.core)
Aesthetically, although beatless, this new work TIME is an ambitious break from ambient music’s associations with the wellness industry, or any connection to environmental music, a sound that is Post-Ambient, leaving faded glimpses of stylistic references.
Sjellos : Lifeless Ground (Cryo Chamber)
With Lifeless Ground, Sjellos plunges listeners back into the dark, mechanical abyss introduced on his last album Transmission Lost (2013), intensifying the grim sense of desolation and uncertainty. Each attempt to move brings flashes of forgotten memories, or fractured images of a past life.
ProtoU :: The Voice of Serenity (Cryo Chamber)
The Voice of Serenity establishes that spiral nebulae exist well beyond the edge of the Milky Way, while simultaneously dealing with the nature of the universe, the cosmos, as well as the study of the chronology of the universe and the actions of the cosmic beings who are completely indifferent toward humanity.
Joseph Sannicandro & Jordan Christoff :: Surreal Transit (Global Pattern)
A rich sound flows, drifting through the sonic textures of electric, natural and urban, electronic and field recordings, radio crackled voices, loops and textures, but with no reliance on words.
