Black Dahlia is a relentless sonic departure and nuanced droning record of ominous, ecstatic and sublime fractures that will certainly appear among best albums of the year for lovers of adventurous music with ascending spiritual motifs.
Tag: Abstract
Single Cell Orchestra :: A.M. (Self Released)
An immersive ambient electronic album that captures emotional complexity with unflinching honesty, and comes highly recommended.
Roel Funcken :: Data Curation 2 (EC Underground)
Whatever I may have thought about the interesting structures of the start of this release, I can’t deny there’s a special place in my heart for taking it up a notch and I bet there’s one in yours too.
Deuter :: Mångata (Curve Blue)
A collection of nine songs, inspired by the natural world, bringing a pleasing sense of inner peace and healing, while slowing down the madness of this world. Mångata explores the connection between the Earth and the Moon’s reflected light on water.
V/A :: Distant Arrays Volume 08 (Satellite Era)
The Distant Arrays series comes to a close with its eighth release, showcasing for one last time, new entries in the Satellite Era family, and generally upcoming artists that would benefit from some kind of push like this.
Earthen Sea :: Recollection (Kranky)
Combining calming dub, shoegaze (shoegauze), and sinuous psychedelic/guitar inflections, Recollection delivers an emblematic return to some familiar sounds, easily pulling in fans of these genres, and others besides.
Virus2020 :: A frog a gun and a sad man (Unexplained Sounds Group)
The result is more cryptic and hermetic than the previous release with a vast palette of aleatoric sound manipulations and sensient immersion in rituals taken from everyday life.
nnirror :: destory (Evel)
Music like this makes the difference between production and artistic creation clear: in this sense, the generative substrate underlying these tracks is a starting point, a bedrock of naturally occurring variation that nnirror cherry-picks and spotlights with arrangements pushing the limits of complexity.
Ümlaut :: Un Être Humain Ordinaire (Audiobulb)
Sounds puncture space, and things float to the surface. It’s just another ordinary day for being human and listening to music when the smallest detail might make the biggest waves.
V/A :: Past/Present 2024 Compilation (Past Inside The Present)
If you, like me, may have been struggling to keep up with all the labels and artists you follow throughout the year, then compilations like Past/Present may come as some sort of godsend. Highlighting just about anything that Past Inside the Present have been pumping out in 2024, this compilation spans a lengthy three hours and showcases all the various shades of ambience that PITP specialize in.
Dött Ljus :: Bottna (Slowcraft)
A successful and continuously pleasant album that pushes the senses with its serene atmosphere. Imagine an impossible meeting between Farben, Thomas Brinkmann, Purl, Mind over MIDI, Mike Slott, and Malmö; but also with an avenue to experiment within a handful of bright, flourishing and drifting ideas.
