Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.
Recent Posts
Stefan Vincent :: Post Melancholy (Musar)
These eight tracks, ranging from the mid-90s IDM boom to today’s high-level production qualities, use lost time capsules and sophisticated synth-techno fissures to create detailed sonic shadows and throbbing breaks, bass, and broken beats.
2View — f5point6 :: A Random Sequence of Events & Rhombus Index :: hycean (See Blue Audio)
Both records express what has been built up to in previous outings from these artists, and they may as well be the culmination for both for now; unless there’s even more coming out this year, at which point I’d have to see which way the wind will be blowing in future releases.
mHz :: Material Prosody (Room40)
The result is captivating, thoughtful, emotive, strange, and navigating through cerebral sound waves, smooth atmospherics, moody-esque sculpted improvisations to radical rhythmically-orientated and almost glitch-like experimentations.
Pearl River Sound :: You have to love yourself a fire (Evel)
You have to love yourself a fire surrounds itself by a plethora of abrupt breaks and distorted electro-nics; going on several tangents with low-flowing synth sections complemented by precision audio plateaus.
Greg Davis :: Full Spectrum 3/7 (Autumn)
The sensation is not of a linear event but a cyclical one, constantly ebbing, flowing, evolving and repeating. In these pieces Davis seeks to enfold, embrace and uplift the listener with these enveloping works.
Colin Andrew Sheffield :: Moments Lost (Sublime Retreat)
Psychic functions, postmodern poetical romanticism and paranormal phenomena are summoned to generate an absorbing, menacing, dreary, ecstatic and eerie cinematic experience.
Kettel & Secede :: When Can (Deluxe Edition) (Lapsus, Perennial Series)
And so we come to When Can, the strangely enigmatic and oft-overlooked collaboration between Kettel and the equally elusive Secede. I’ll admit to being as surprised as I was delighted when Lapsus announced its reissue as a deluxe vinyl edition because it’s an album I adore, so much so this is now the third time I’ve written about it.
Farron :: Feal (Shaw Cuts)
If you’re in the mood for good modern IDM, Feal has got plenty. More specifically, if you want to put on a record and be sure it offers something valuable from start to finish, Feal has also got plenty of that. If you want a good amount of variety, Feal is where you should be headed.
Bernhard Living :: From Here to There (Self Released)
One of the many experimental three-track records from Bernhard Living, From Here to There is yet another exploration of tonality and thought.
Squarepusher :: Ultravisitor (20th Anniversary Deluxe Expanded Edition) (Warp)
For the 20th anniversary, Warp is proud to present this expanded deluxe version of Squarepusher’s Ultravistor— a limited edition one-time pressing, carefully remastered from the original recordings by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and overseen by Tom Jenkinson. Never entirely satisfied with the sound of the original release, Tom has relished the opportunity to bring out fresh dynamics and detail in the tracks.
