Sun Rain :: Mea Culpa EP (Imaginary North)
Gentle layers of just a few ingredients are added to other related elements, augmenting each other to showcase a natural magic. These are dreamscapes for rest and recuperation, and I don’t see any error or wrongdoing in them at all.
Phillip Golub :: Loop 7 (greyfade)
With its emphasis on subtle variation and harmonic innovation, Loop 7 is a compelling listen for fans of experimental music and microtonal compositions, inviting deeper engagement with every spin. This is a standout release for both Golub and Greyfade.
Jon Benderr :: my blurry left eye (Self Released)
Ultimately, my blurry left eye is saturated with color, and also veers off course with braindance and heavier industrial mechanics (“crash-70557”) that effectively highlights Jon Benderr’s wide sonic reach.
Beyond the Ghost :: Neon Twilight (Cryo Chamber)
All I can find to explain what is here are endless crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and motivations, a dark noir album filled with harmonic textures and creeping reverbs.
Mantle of Gets :: Repr.pn Store (10-17) (Uchelfa)
These gentle, brief, and succinct soundscapes are resonant and melodious as they drift and cascade, enabling Mantle of Gets to deliver a relaxing piano-focused album that simply soothes the senses.
D-Fried :: Images Sur La Mer (Phonocake)
Images Sur La Mer is a two-part soundtrack dronescape that ebbs and flows into surreal textures, tones, and muted abstracts over the course of more than forty sparkling minutes.
Carpet Soup :: ESDI (Lectric Panda)
Erratic yet unusually serene, offering a glimpse into a kaleidoscope of off-kilter synth sketches, rough IDM underpinnings, and sprinkling mellifluous tones around the margins.
Jean-François Charles :: Tenebrae (New Flore Music)
It is, indeed, a record featuring collaborators from all around the world, from jazz musicians, to classical, to spoken poetry, there is a lot to explore, with each track also being an enjoyable experience—it’s not just variety for the sake of it, there’s a lot of effort everywhere here!
Dronny Darko :: Godless Land (Cryo Chamber)
What is the difference between abandoned and forsaken? Dark tension, pounding under sustained horror and tension. This goes on forever. We are tourists here, and can go at any time. Peering into the darkness, we linger.
Tonik Ensemble :: Music Is Mass (Touched Music)
The atmosphere herein simply spills over non-existent—perhaps even floating—boundaries with a surplus of instrumental virtuosity, roughened textures, and vaporous brittle tones that time shift and alter before our own eyes.
