Experimental Electronic Music
Boards of Canada today announce Inferno, their first full-length release in thirteen years, marking a significant return for the influential Scottish electronic duo. This forthcoming record expands their unmistakable sonic identity, introducing a darker, more intricately layered atmosphere that refracts their hallmark sense of warped nostalgia through a more shadowed lens.
Mechanical soundscapes surge through Interlinked, a five-piece set by Dragon that offers little in liner note detail, channeling attention instead toward exacting design, brittle glitch-industrial grit, and rhythmic frameworks that pivot and pulse across layered, chiseled beats.
Granada was once the cosmopolitan capital of Al Andalus, a confluence of cultures, identities, and ideas that blossomed under an ancient sun. Today, the city still radiates an unmistakable energy. Thanks to Cosmic Tribe, Granada also resonates with a soundtrack that cultivates local artists while embracing global talent.
Seefeel return with Sol.Hz, their first full-length in fifteen years. Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock — the core duo that’s anchored the band since its formation in the early 1990s, are back, and they haven’t strayed far from the blueprint. Seefeel built their reputation on blurring the line between shoegaze and electronic music, fusing guitar-based textures with ambient techno and dub production techniques.
Touched Music has been doing this for over a decade now, and they’ve built a reputation for curating compilations and releases that sit at the top tier of contemporary IDM. Cilcit is no exception. This is easily one of the most exciting and great releases of 2026 and an enjoyable listen for a lot of IDM fans.
Across eleven brief, bright passages, Some Weird Apples sketches a world of riotous melody and lightly broken funk, where playful ideas arrive quickly, bloom, and vanish before overstaying their welcome.
The Way To Go is an album you must listen to closely in order to process all that it offers. It’s not background music. It’s intentional, detailed, and structured in a way that feels both loose and precise. For a label like Pulse State, which shares Touched Music’s commitment to quality and charity, The Way To Go is a strong addition to the catalog.
Synonym carves a sharp path through bruising low-end sound design, relentless electro fragments, and pixelated bleep modulations, never easing its grip across five kaleidoscopic cuts.
Echo Parent ultimately feels like a culmination—years of craft distilled into a cohesive vision, bridging disparate IDM and braindance threads shaped between 2024 and 2026. What emerges is a roughened continuation of experimental electronic tradition, forming a worn sonic patina that moves steadily forward through time.
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
The Sound of Dreams is everything I like about anthologies, a collection of very diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies expressing themselves in short performances, with plenty of guitars, strange but empathetic vocals (especially the chanting) and most of all, the sounds of birds and bugs.
