Capturing light waves and nostalgia, subtle melodic strands drift and fade away as we’re given the opportunity to let these sounds dissolve and cast their tones and drones upon us.
Reviews
Somatic Responses :: Rhinog Fawr’ (Heol Ddu)
The scraping, noise-drenched slabs in which John Healy (one half of Somatic Responses) is able to craft are astounding.
Ben Frost :: Broken Spectre (The Vinyl Factory)
All the tracks work in this manner under Frost’s deft hands, wielding the synthetic against the recorded organic to reveal the dark cost of our destruction of the natural world.
Valance Drakes :: A Weak Shield Protects Not EP (Urban Virus)
Nine minutes and an infinity we can’t even fathom, Valance Drakes delivers transparent soundwaves just barely reaching the lower atmosphere. Massaging ghostlike glitch for us mere mortals.
Mantle of Gets :: Lisbon D300422D5409 (Uchelfa)
This recording, with all its dust, debris, and dense sound sculptures, dives straight through the magnetosphere and doesn’t hold back.
Imre Kiss :: Keys to Cassiopeia (EXILES)
Keys to Cassiopeia has enough lush ambient tones and a dose of vibrant emotion to move the listener into a functional and profound state of contemplation in touch with metaphysics and the unknown.
Keosz :: Neven OST (Cryo Chamber)
A welcomed return with a key and immediately transportive album in the subterranean, ethereal and dark-ambient galaxy to start the year in timeless beauty.
Shubharun Sengupta :: Iggle (Self Released)
Even if these tracks are filled with audible data bursting at the seams, a bricolage of sound-scraping noises all tend to merge together on Iggle, angular electronics indeed.
Babak Ahteshamipour :: Mind Flaying Flavored Flails (Jollies)
Occupied with sampled guitars, pianos and field recordings, crushed into granulated bits that serve as a spicy audio tortilla filling, with electronics and synthesizers dueling over the last bite, reinforcing a sense of a tectonic collision of cordial restlessness and soothing hypnotic states.
Robyrt Hecht :: Yskayan Knowledge (YUYAY)
The strictures of electro mean that individualism can be difficult to achieve. With Yskayan Knowledge, Hecht not only expresses himself in a unique manner, the Leipzig musician is proving that the sounds of frigid funk are wide and varied.
Lovetrip :: Little Silver Box (Móatún 7)
Oli Love’s signature sound is the essential ingredient on the Móatún 7 roster. The album in its entirety is indescribably stunning and is the epitome of top-tier ambient electronica.
