Pure escapist uplift. This kind of optimism never gets old. A foray into unashamedly sunny downtempo, if that isn’t an oxymoron. With all positive connotations […]

Double Review :: Hakobune (Empiric)
Peerless, supple ambience, mediated over loops sets and tape layers. White and green, leaf grazing leaf. Ambient guitarist Hakobune (Takahiro Yorifuji) calls this brief moment […]
Caught in the Wake Forever :: The Places Where I Worship You (Dronarivm)
The air is certainly chilly and the water freezing, but there is much shared warmth here. Painfully unprepossessing, McGowan interweaves emotion with emotionless nature suborning […]
SiJ :: The Earth Shrine (ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ)
The Earth Shrine is not your typical eco-ambient. It pays homage to the global mystic paths once trodden in reverent balance, while hanging like the […]
Brandon Hurtado :: Other Spaces (Moreau)
After little more than half an hour, an echoing, low-slung guitar just stopping when enough, for now, has been said. Brandon Hurtado’s music has frayed […]
Akatombo :: Sometime, Never (Hand-Held Recordings)
This kind of music is ravenous and if you look into its eyes it can turn you into a pillar of salt. One needs to go […]

Spiluttini has created classic beauty out of a flawed motif—being human—and the struggle to live as one contiguous with others, not as an isolated atoll. […]

Max Cooper :: Human (Fields)
A fresh if not utterly unheard-of sound, combining in dynamic equilibrium a rich tradition of glitch and house and melodic electronica, which works especially well […]
Biosphere / Deathprod :: Stator (Touch)
Geir Jenssen and Helge Sten, Biosphere and Deathprod, respectively, are two of the most prominent names in Norwegian music. Now, they line up for another […]
Summons of Shining Ruins :: Haruka (Moufu-Rokuon)
Buzz saw meditation, a hundred agitated zithers, a seismic hurdy gurdy, in three, roughly twenty-minute parts. It shimmers so, it rejoices prematurely, it turns back in […]
