Synonym carves a sharp path through bruising low-end sound design, relentless electro fragments, and pixelated bleep modulations, never easing its grip across five kaleidoscopic cuts.
Reviews
keyosc :: Echo Parent (Self Released) — [concise]
Echo Parent ultimately feels like a culmination—years of craft distilled into a cohesive vision, bridging disparate IDM and braindance threads shaped between 2024 and 2026. What emerges is a roughened continuation of experimental electronic tradition, forming a worn sonic patina that moves steadily forward through time.
Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
V/A :: The Sound of Dreams (Inspired by Breathing)
The Sound of Dreams is everything I like about anthologies, a collection of very diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies expressing themselves in short performances, with plenty of guitars, strange but empathetic vocals (especially the chanting) and most of all, the sounds of birds and bugs.
Sajge :: Forming (Self Released)
Forming drifts and surges through a rich confluence of electronic abstraction, acoustic intimacy, jazz-adjacent phrasing, and bass-driven undercurrents. There’s a tactile quality to it all—textures brush against one another, moments of delicate frisson give way to sudden bursts of kinetic energy, then dissolve again into something weightless and searching.
BlackHazr :: BlackHazr (Mahorka)
This new project follows a stylistic inclination inspired by primordial resonances and natural manifestations from peripheral zones deserted by humanity.
Gangster Computer God :: Gangster Computer God (Heterodox) — [concise]
This assemblage travels across broad terrain yet retains cohesion, even with slightly uneven edges, resulting in a record that ultimately mirrors its own namesake.
Hatchback :: Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon (Lo Recordings)
Lo Recordings proves once more its ability to extend the field of modern-day electronic experimentation, always bringing to the fore a community of talented sound artists with broader visions in terms of musical language.
syringeee :: Plateau: Bonus Treats EP (Weirdrum) — [concise]
Late 2025 marked the arrival of Plateau, introduced as an EP surging across six abstract, timbre-rich sound sculptures. A few months on, a set of bonus treats emerges—four new pieces extending that journey along a brisk, polished braindance continuum.
Cloutpics :: Switch Manual EP (Renraku)
Cloutpics come on strong and hard with some dirty, filthy, son-of-a-gun low-end theories. Four neatly distressed ricochets, none over three minutes.
Ian Boddy :: Serge Works (DiN)
In a year already rich with strong releases, Serge Works stands out for its clarity of vision and depth of execution. It rewards patience, revealing new details with each listen, and invites the listener into a space where time, texture, and tone intertwine. Whether experienced as a technical showcase, a tribute to lineage, or simply as a series of immersive sound journeys, it resonates on multiple levels.
