A delicate undertaking masterfully formed. It rewards any patience with a desire for repeated listening that reveals innate deeper layers of finer detail and craft. With its fractured yet entirely cohesive palette, FAX has crafted a work that is mature, cerebral, and quietly extra-ordinary.
Tag: Abstract
Bette A. and Brian Eno :: Slow Stories: A Collaboration of Storytelling, Music, and Art (Unnamed Press)
Where story, sound, and image meet at an unhurried pace, Slow Stories feels like a quiet return to the ancient art of remembering.
Dmas3 :: Synthetic Absence EP (Self Released) — [concise]
A bristling pair of tracks built from pressure, grit, momentum and controlled industrial chaos, engineered for dark rooms, restless bodies and heads locked deep inside the machinery of their own becoming.
Paperclip Minimiser :: II (peak oil)
Titleless tracks and stripped-back aesthetics conceal a deliberate complexity. By reducing to essentials, Paperclip Minimiser reveals mature, confident production—slicker than oil, hot with intent, and deeply, deliciously rooted in bass culture’s enduring swing.
Doc No :: Greenfield Park EP (Noble Circuit)
Doc No’s Greenfield Park EP unfolds as a quiet, meditative tension between organic field recordings and delicate modular sound design, drifting from ambient textures into intricate, expansive rhythms shaped by the natural world around it.
Brotherhood of Sleep :: Enter the Nuummite Cosmos (Zazen Sounds)
If you are seeking background music to accompany a descent into a post-apocalyptic, neo-mythological literary universe—something akin to the worlds of Lord Dunsany, Arthur Machen, or Abraham Merritt—Enter the Nuummite Cosmos is particularly well suited.
tsrono :: vrtiglavica (Self Released)
What lingers most is tsrono’s steady hand amid disorder. Rhythmic elements drift slightly beyond reach, echoing a period when labels like Toytronic, City Centre Offices, Benbecula, and U-Cover championed late-90s and early-00s IDM.
PhenoTone :: Scale Diagonal (Zoku – Zoku)
These tracks breathe in vast, subaqueous chambers: chasmic, humid, and alive with a tactile sense of depth. There’s a richness here that feels both organic and engineered, a kind of fertile sonic pressure where detail accumulates rather than overwhelms.
Neuro… No Neuro :: Were we really there? EP (Self Released)
The newest expression, Were we really there?, is a beatless paean to somnambulist mornings at campfire-ember edges, or where the lull of lapping lakes adjacent to preemptive summer sunsets captivate.
Shīdo :: Interims (Woodland Creatures) — [concise]
Interims casts a lullaby-like spell—a surreal fracture in time, a quiet refuge from modern noise, and an ambient glow that invites full immersion from beginning to end.
Shane Parish :: Autechre Guitar (Palilalia)
Gratitude feels like the right place to begin—because without a chance introduction decades ago, this remarkable record might never have found its way into the world.
