Concealed Under A Strange Tongue suggests an elegant, diversified, and pleasant listening experience where meandering emotional chords meet spacious ambient electronica, processed field recordings, occasional sampled voice elements with a near new-age tone, and a neo-psychedelic/cosmic Americana feeling (for the sunlit psych-country-esque guitar sequences), along with near Steve Tibbetts-influenced mystic grooves.
Tag: Abstract
Building Music :: A conversation with Yu Miyashita (Yaporigami); architect of the inner world
Yu Miyashita (aka Yaporigami) approaches music as a lifelong search for structure, authenticity, and philosophical expression, balancing uncompromising artistic vision with an openness to reinvention that has defined every stage of his creative journey.
Billion One :: Hi Cozy Paradise (Woodland Creatures)
Such a fitting title for Billion One’s latest on Woodland Creatures’ Biome series—every release connected to one of Earth’s distinct bioregions and ecosystems. These sonic windows shift with every listen, drifting and cascading with restless energy, layered vocal manipulations, and deeply infectious grooves.
ENV(itre) :: Prysmaen Tales (Detroit Underground)
Prysmaen Tales bridges eras without straddling them awkwardly. It honors the introspective depth of classic IDM while moving forward on its own terms. For anyone who’s been following Majewski since the early DETUND years, this is exactly the kind of return worth waiting for.
Josh Mason :: Kicking A Dark Horse (greyfade)
These releases are not merely containers for music. They are thoughtfully conceived artistic objects that extend, deepen, and enrich the listening experience. They are works meant to be lived with, revisited, displayed, and cherished. Josh Mason’s Kicking A Dark Horse, the third installment in the label’s FOLIO format, may be the clearest realization yet of that philosophy.
Multiplex :: Human, I Love You (w/ Remixes) (Clean Error)
Christian and Roland Dormon arrive to Atlanta-based Clean Error Records for their latest release as Multiplex, and their labelmates give them a welcome-to-the-neighborhood basket brimming with solid remixes.
Caural :: Aura (Prism92)
Aura leans more toward the hip-hop beat era than straight IDM, experimental in spirit, with enough left-field nuance that it resists being filed simply as instrumental hip-hop. It’s a document of a producer figuring out his own DNA in real time, two decades before anyone thought to look back and call it influential.
Camcussion :: More Sprouted Lentils (Detroit Underground)
More Sprouted Lentils is Camcussion operating at full capacity—hardware-driven, unpredictable, and completely unconcerned with playing it safe. In a genre that can sometimes mistake complexity for depth, Doig’s instinct for fun is his sharpest tool.
Speaker Music :: Synoptic Audio (Planet Mu)
Within the latest Speaker Music transmission, Brown returns to the bastion of seriously adult musical content that is Planet Mu Records for the frankly exquisite Synoptic Audio. With its theme-first offering to the experience, De Forrest proposes sound itself as a system of critical inquiry.
Pan•American :: Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane (Kranky)
Fly the ocean on this silver plane of an album. It’s a smooth flight full of gentle transitions, giving a contemplative view of the larger landscape of our lives.
[2View] Yann Novak :: Meadowsweet (redux) (Dragon’s Eye), David Vélez :: Loss (Unfathomless)
In these two deeply moving releases, Yann Novak and David Vélez transform personal grief into acts of listening, remembrance, and meaning-making.
