4T Thieves consistently releases intricate audio sculptures and visual displays, dousing every layer with a profusion of sharp beats and ethereal atmospheres encircled by brittle kaleidoscope rhythms, diverse found sounds, and faint vocal extracts.

Michael Valentine West :: Von Bock Strasse 18 (redux) (uvg212)
Seven years after its initial release, and the skilled sound sculptor returns with a revived and impacting EP.
Yella Gin :: I Was a Satellite of the Sun (Mestnost)
Although this album is set in space, its aural compositions combine technoid patterns, braindance, IDM, ambient, downtempo, and microscopic grooves with brittle melodic components that, in this limited edition cassette and digital release, manage to function nicely together here on Planet Earth.
V/A :: Fluxus & NeoFluxus / Stolen Symphony (Vol. 1) (Sub Rosa)
Perhaps what is most astonishing about the flux of noise, beauty, sound, art, collected here is the number of recent recordings from 2018 and 2021. That makes this particular double-album of various artists unique. The other recordings that aren’t new, are rare, or at least difficult to get a hold of. Having them all in one place is a real treat.
Philippe Neau :: Domus (Lotophagus)
These eight compositions feature atmospheric notes, delicate tones, and drones, but the real attraction of Domus is the organic beauty of its flora and fauna.
M-Paths :: Submerge (Mighty Force)
So while some tracks are more uplifting and others are mostly immersive, the aesthetic bond is M-Paths’ particular way of choosing timbres, effects and textures and laying down the melodies.
Cathode Ray Tube :: The Oryx At Night EP (Condition Human)
Cathode Ray Tube keeps up his regular aural explorations and characterizes his most recent work as dark ambient / Deutsche kosmiche, but he also explores a world in which certain audibles have form and others remain formless.
Fallen :: Midnight Poems for Lost Seasons and Cripple Hearts (Móatún 7)
I think this is very good sounding ambient atmospheric pop, employing bass with keys, guitar, a touch of percussion sometimes and always within a framework of wonderful spacey electronics with some etheric vocals too.
