On Melting Days, the Seattle producer returns to the immersive, rhythm-forward ambient sound that shaped his early work.

Ard Bit :: Juxtaposed (DƎЯRDE)
Sprung from a blend of improvisation and composition based on minimalism and depth of (sound)field, his latest, Juxtaposed, is the fourth in a recently inaugurated series of audio works on DƎЯRDE—more experimental, electro-acoustic and cross-genre side-label of Dronarivm and Fonodroom.
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.
datewithdeath :: Apple Tree Brightness (Poverty Electronics)
Apple Tree Brightness burns like sunrise personified as the latest release fromdatewithdeath (aka Travis D. Johnson), landing fresh on the ever-refined Poverty Electronics, a label that has quietly shaped its own groundbreaking corner of experimental electronics for well over a decade.
David Helpling & Scott Reich :: Through The Thought Horizon (Spotted Peccary Music)
As a first collaboration of David and Scott, the feeling is immediately harmonically balanced and calming, the overall flow allows for sightseeing while you are napping. Cinematic tinkling satisfying hearts and minds, two chill guys, gentle souls making lovely music. Through the Thought Horizon is a melodic, beautiful, and deeply resonant album.
Build Buildings x Molly Gochman :: Continuum (Unending Loop)
A peaceful, singular, and cozy post-ambient journey made of lush sounds, with some chilling moments based on fragmented memories, that will ravish listeners of digitalized tape music and carefully crafted, slowly moving soundscapes.
Netherworld :: The Hermit (Glacial Movements)
Following chilling mysteries emerging from Arctic expeditions and unveiling the metaphysical strength captured in ice-cold landscapes, the droning sound art project Netherworld (alias Alessandro Tedeschi, founder of Glacial Movements Records) is back to the forefront.
rheom :: _ 729.root (Polygon Network)
_729.root functions less as compositions in the conventional sense and more as active scaffolding for expression—temporary sonic architectures that think through signal, texture, and constraint, that lead the artists rather than being led by them.
Morphtables :: Absurdance (Mestnost)
Morphtables balances precise braindance programming with technoid structures, shaping a downtempo melodic pull where fractured breaks and electronic details settle into a distinctly IDM framework.
Vijunns :: 1991 (Hyperreal Projects)
This release is excellent on its own, but with so little material, it almost feels like something you’d listen to in anticipation of the next Vijunns release. Given how great the music on 1991 is, I certainly hope there’s more to come soon.
