Galati :: Cold As a February Sky (Glacial Movements)
A representative and well-crafted album of modern day ambient synthedelica with everything you may like regarding textured lush atmospheres which invite to explore the great unknown while being immersed in natural primordial stillness.
Faded Saga :: Faded Saga (ENRECO)
Sun-soaked, abstract, and vintage-sounding electronics with fuzzy melodic rhythms.
Cressida :: The Flying Dagger EP (Shaw Cuts)
The Flying Dagger displays a solid batch of tracks that go as hard as the concept behind the project would lead you to believe. To match various fight scenes and the thrill of revenge, the beats on this EP do need to go rather hard, and they certainly succeed at that.
Masaya Ozaki :: Mizukara (laaps)
Masaya Ozaki explores various sound sources on Mizukara and then manipulates them into comforting or sometimes discomforting new textures. There’s various acoustic instruments that get played with, contributing to the album’s overall variety and different soundscapes.
Bernhard Living :: The Nature of Things (Self Released)
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
Peltiform :: Like Phantoms (Section 27)
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
Alessandro Ragazzo :: La deviazione del profilo (Stochastic Resonance)
The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.
Stormy Acres :: Phantom Detractor (Not Yet Remembered)
These are undoubtedly dark ambient veils woven by a dedicated sonic detailer. All in all, a pulsating, abstract, and translucent album.
Dave Seidel :: Homage to Hennix (The Electric Harpsichord reinterpreted) (Self Released)
It is good to hear another contribution to the genre from Dave Seidel, whose homage is a masterpiece in its own right. That’s no surprise considering how as a musician, he continues to stay true and in tune with his own musical vision, all while extending the techniques of the masters who went before him.
Hanetration :: Resonator EP (Self Released)
Resonator by Cornwall, UK-based Hanetration, a five-piece collection of carefully woven ambient psychedelic electronics and intermittent downtempo, is back after a protracted hiatus.
