In this latest assemblage, the album builds upon itself with each piece blissfully disjointed and drawing us into the void. Expanding from every angle, subtle electronic entanglements flourish with dark and light shadows.

Suumhow :: A world of errors and glitches
“Suumhow is what happens when two childhood friends who discovered electronic music together in their teens and then reunite 20 years later.” On the heels of their 5th album, appropriately titled 5ilth—available on n5MD October 25, 2024—Suumhow took some time out of their schedule to discuss the good old days of IDM, their backgrounds, processes, and beautifully choreographed sonic glitches.
Dissolved :: The Misleading Echo (Dissolvedamberrooms)
Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.
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.
Drifting In Silence | w-berg :: North Sea (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge, with over two decades of experience composing ambient music and scoring films and television, brings his expertise in crafting expansive soundscapes to this collaboration. Partnering with w-berg adds new depth and texture to the project, marking a significant evolution for both artists.
