Contre son :: Infinity of Dreams (Gladivs)
Titled Infinity of Dreams, this effort is a hybrid of styles operating a crossover between neo-classical orchestrations, mystical-liturgic ambient obtained by various synthetic chords and slightly pulsating ritual music.
Ian Boddy & Harald Grosskopf :: Doppelgänger (DiN)
A masterclass in Berlin School-inspired sequencing, immersive soundscapes, and a fusion of electronic textures that recall the golden age of 1970s synthesis while embracing modern production techniques.
Dever To Laye :: INIT EP (Autoscopy)
Through carefully tuned machines and dusty synthesizers, INIT unfolds gradually, with rising, undulating drones transforming the space around us.
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*.
Hüma Utku :: Dracones (Editions Mego)
Dracones is a raw, powerful collection of compositions, pulsing with intensity and depth. It’s not a journey for the faint of heart, but for those drawn to music that is both dark and hauntingly beautiful, it strikes a deep, resonant chord.
Joseph Sannicandro & Jordan Christoff :: Surreal Transit (Global Pattern)
A rich sound flows, drifting through the sonic textures of electric, natural and urban, electronic and field recordings, radio crackled voices, loops and textures, but with no reliance on words.
Yoker Moon :: Mood Studies (Waxing Crescent)
Mood Studies encapsulates the transient, fragmented nature of existence, offering a surreal and meditative listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive—a must-listen for those who find beauty in imperfection.
LHAM :: Tertium Quid (Silentes)
Tertium Quid admits more emphasize on orchestrated cinematic grooves, chamber-pop melodicism, sampled collage, and spoken word with a clear call to be immersed in a reflective naturescape tendency, inviting the listener to be guided in a sentient vastness where shapes, time, moods, variations and colors are journeying around him.
