Warmly recommended for lovers of lysergic icy ambient beauty with a deep pulsating edge and a terrifying, disorientating cosmic/dystopian sensibility, to be placed next to releases by Vladislav Delay, Monolake, The Orb, and Kangding Ray.
Reviews
Rec_Overflow :: ZgZone EP (Mutoscope)
An authentically subtle and sophisticated extended player from one of the pioneers.

Artiphon, the most recent release from prolific experimental sound designer Parallel Worlds (aka Bakis Sirros), features several peaks and valleys of dark ambient strands.
Dollarstore Keyboard :: Visitation EP (Self Released)
Colin Swenson, a talented audio sculptor from Minneapolis, Minnesota, goes by the name Dollarstore Keyboard and showcases his distinctive sound design in the four-track EP Visitation.
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: Leaving (Self Released)

Micah Pick :: Frameworks (Audiobulb)
These themes explore the surprise at finding unexpected joy even at our darkest moments when our worst fears are realized and facing the unique stresses of adulthood by retaining a sense of childlike joy.
emho :: Deambulations (Sonic Dialogue)
Suggesting an exploration of the interplay between geographic spaces and sound, the feeling is of wandering, both in physical and metaphysical senses. The atmosphere fully uses the glitchy modality, like the sound of an old movie, heard underwater, at night.
