Arriving in late 2025, forget me not extends autumna’s dusty-ambient lineage—bookended by Emile Wauters’ vast, style-roaming discography—into a haze of memory, melancholia, and softly shimmering sonic tableaux.

Dirk Serries :: Infinite and Unbound (Projekt)
Dirk Serries (formerly vidnaObmana) marked a new year with Infinite and Unbound, five long-form works wrought in real time with simple guitar+FX. A veteran’s touch […]
Guentner Spieth :: Conversion (Affin)
Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth reunite for Conversion, their second collaboration on Affin, blending ambient expanses with dub-driven detail through a contemporary lens. Minimalist yet immersive, the album balances rhythmic depth and atmospheric stillness, reflecting the artists’ shared roots in early ambient, dub, and deep techno while continuing their distinctive sonic evolution.
zakè :: Selected Remixes (Zakè Drone)
Selected Remixes reflects Zach Frizzell’s collaborative ethos and transformative ear, reworking tracks from across the ambient and experimental spectrum. With his signature analog warmth, chthonic textures, and spectral drift, zakè reshapes source material into a cohesive suite of deep-listening reinterpretations that reveal his intuitive sonic alchemy.
Aarktica :: No Solace in Sleep [2025 Remaster] (Projekt)
The year 2000 saw Aarktica’s debut bring post-rock perspective and a glacial sensibility to guitar-based ambient; Jon DeRosa enveloped us in ‘a new sonic world of haunting, aquatic darkness and shimmering tonal light.’ Its 25th anniversary sees a reissue, No Solace In Sleep [2025 Remaster], shed new light on this by now classic, reaffirming its enduring resonance.
Billow Observatory :: The Glass Curtain (felte)
Billow Observatory create an affordance structure for the escape, The Glass Curtain finding a fine balance between dark-light binaries, at once euphonic and tenebrous, engaged and unmoored, a portal opened to elsewhereness.
Lantscap :: Fragile Peaks (Home Normal)
Fragile Peaks is a deeply engaging (in the sense of the quality of engagement being ‘deep’) slow burner, though that descriptor might misrepresent the intensity of a piece that, fire-wise, is more of a smoulder—a low-lit one at that.
Old Amica / Aiko Takahashi :: Vikande blå / Nuages (Handstitched*)
Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
Six Missing :: Gentle Breath EP (Nettwerk)
An ethnography of shifting emotional terrain rendered in murky sketches by TJ Dumser, who has already brought a range of ambient expression to his developing back catalog, most notably with main project, Six Missing, and latest EP, Gentle Breath.
Taylor Made Trilogy Turns to Ash (Nettwerk)
Just in is news of continuation of a new chapter on Nettwerk with the release of Ash, rounding off his EP trilogy, initiated with Eev (igloo-’viewed) and Aer, with its conceptual theme of a ‘life arc’ from exciting new beginnings to the darkness of dealing with life’s challenges.
Bibio revisits Phantom Brickworks (Warp)
Under blankets of mostly improvised evolving loops of piano and baritone guitar can be heard muffled specters of working life, implying nature will come for everything and eventually hide the scars.
