An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
Tag: Abstract
Celine Arnauld :: Prjct Cntnt EP (New York Haunted)
Crunchy rhythmic turbulence and unpredictable electronics make up this exhausting Borg-like set.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Overworld EP (Condition Human)
CRT delivers a surreal storm-surging soundtrack that breaks through with fragmented synthesis and industrial techno juxtaposition.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
subtractiveLAD :: Unspoken (Self Released)
Unspoken is “performance-based, with no click, no grid, just playing,” as stated in the liner notes. Featuring granular and raw construction permeating distinctive synth swells, Unspoken flows through like a forgotten soundtrack to our soul.
ArcSec :: My battery is low and it’s getting dark EP (Glitchpulse)
Crumpled experimental electronics and distorted glitch patterns dissolve into smaller elements with each passing minute, giving My battery is low and it’s getting dark just enough momentum to keep us engaged and looking forward to more in the same vein.
Death By Drone :: Complex (Labile)
Industrial rhythms and explosive beats, aggressive textures, unsettling ambient, and resonating drones create aggravated assemblages that mirror the advanced architecture of the market forces as driving as the bass drops and as savage as the distorted beats.
Enabl.ed :: ErrorBalm Vol.2 (Clean Error)
Eighteen tracks and four bonus pieces are featured on ErrorBalm Vol.2 resulting in a combination of relaxed abstracts and tumbling electrical data streams that can feel overwhelming. With two volumes already published in 2024, we’re curious to see how much material the multi-talented musician has in his back pocket!
DELI KUVVETI :: Micro Dramas (Evel)
Micro Dramas is a captivating album that strikes an ideal balance of calm and agitated electrical flurries that we keep returning to.
Language Field :: Reworks (Precariat Records)
An expansive field of musical pulsars ebb and flow seamlessly at the highest level as Language Field’s original audio works are only further amplified on Reworks, resulting in one of our favorites of 2024.
