True the ferocity of past releases is present, caustic chords and raucous rhythms, but there’s also a hint of something less vicious. Tender moments, respites […]

Benjamin Finger :: 9,5 EP (Sellout! Music)
9,5 manages to encapsulate an oddly pleasant space outside of its comfort zone and entangles itself in a brisk experimental-pop 3-pack. Sometimes you’ve got to go a little […]
Phragments :: All Towers Must Fall (Malignant)
With its dark trumpet call and thundering bass frequencies the opening theme introduces the listener in a malevolent and adventurous sound ritualism absorbed by nightmare […]
Solar Bears :: Advancement (Sunday Best)
Reversed playback, ambiguous ambience and an emotive shoegaze kaleidoscope are spread about as orchestral arrangements are smoothed into decayed soundscapes of dust and debris. Time-lapsed […]
Marge and the Marvellous :: Distant Dance (No More Pop)
No More Pop is an oasis, an island amidst a sea of darker re-issues, an island of dulcet synth pop and cloudless skies. Bright and […]

Haruo Okada + Fabio Perletta :: Genkai (LINE)
A cross between micro-tonal electronics, processed acoustic textures and sound ecology. Fabio Perletta is an Italian sound artist (now living in Berlin) whose I discovered the […]
Eraldo Bernocchi & Shinkiro :: In Praise of Shadows (SSSM)
Though subtle indeed, In Praise of Shadows summons a certain dis-ease, a sense of the shy and the paranoid, as if the listening mind were an incarnation […]
E.R.P. :: Ancient Lights (Solar One Music)
Buttressing electronica with stripped rhythms, E.R.P. creates warm and vivid soundscapes as The Exaltics add some extra thrust for the floor. The Hubble Telescope Series […]
Sync 24 & Silicon Scally :: Jack Out EP (Cultivated Electronics)
Beats are cutting, slicing through thick banks of bass. Shockwaves ripple through speakers as the duo sharpen melodies into razor blade peaks. I was perusing […]
