A grueling feast of grit and glitch that celebrates 25 years of music-making—Skymall prepares an unforgiving mix consisting of blistering electro, breaks, rhythmic noise, and magnetized distortion.
Tag: Abstract
Galati :: Cold As a February Sky (Glacial Movements)
A representative and well-crafted album of modern day ambient synthedelica with everything you may like regarding textured lush atmospheres which invite to explore the great unknown while being immersed in natural primordial stillness.
Faded Saga :: Faded Saga (ENRECO)
Sun-soaked, abstract, and vintage-sounding electronics with fuzzy melodic rhythms.
Rodrigo Passannanti :: Omnipresence (EC Underground)
The aptly-titled compendium seeks solace in transparent melodic layers, continually engaging its listeners through expansive and cinematic sonic snapshots.
Stefan Vincent :: Pre Melancholy EP (MUSAR)
With juxtaposed rhythms and flickering beats, Dutch producer Stefan Vincent’s Pre Melancholy (released on MUSAR, June 2023) is a sweetened industrial and shuffled ambient-techno mélange.
Syntax Erika & Lebed :: 10538KM EP (Detroit Underground)
Another powerful panoramic of dense electrical sound fields seamlessly connecting North America and Eastern Europe, its epicenter located in Detroit.
Bernhard Living :: The Nature of Things (Self Released)
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
Peltiform :: Like Phantoms (Section 27)
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
Alessandro Ragazzo :: La deviazione del profilo (Stochastic Resonance)
The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.
Brain Rays :: Slime (Acroplane)
Slime unearths powerful rhythms while at the same time uncovering unique sub-genres that coalesce on this multifaceted and heavy-duty album.
Daed :: Simulcracy (Concrete Collage)
Consisting of seven short, crisp slices that mesh well together in an amalgam of fractured and frantic electronics, Simulcracy is a definitive reference point for the expansive Concrete Collage catalog.
