Romanowitch :: A critical season substitute (glitch.cool) — [concise]
A critical season substitute is a relentless cascade of rough-edged textures and indomitable tones, refusing to relent and continuously pushing the boundaries of tangible sonic research.
Giannis Gogos :: Light Within (Saos)
With a seamless blend of structured instrumentation and drifting passages, this ten-track suite unfolds as a collection of evolving, serene, and blurred shoegaze elements that hover just above the realm of organic surrealism.
Kilometre Club :: It Doesn’t Snow In Toronto Anymore (Imaginary North)
Listening, I want the big fat flakes to fall from these dense ambient envelopes and rippling contours. Yet like the snow, these flakes of sound don’t fall, they just hover over the listener with a sense of unknowing dread. Moody isn’t even the half of it.
ProtoU :: The Voice of Serenity (Cryo Chamber)
The Voice of Serenity establishes that spiral nebulae exist well beyond the edge of the Milky Way, while simultaneously dealing with the nature of the universe, the cosmos, as well as the study of the chronology of the universe and the actions of the cosmic beings who are completely indifferent toward humanity.
Dead Melodies :: Sylvan (Cryo Chamber)
These atmospheric post rock soundscapes, dark ambient-acoustic and organic sound design, are somehow breaking free after being buried long ago and the woods grew over the top. Here is found the dark wooded album, Sylvan.
Simon Littauer :: Modular (Katharsis)
Drawing from his over nine years of experience with Eurorack modular synthesizers, Littauer’s creations offer a vivid and immersive experience, where each track feels like a universe of its own, filled with rich, saturated clusters of sound.
Single Cell Orchestra :: A.M. (Self Released)
An immersive ambient electronic album that captures emotional complexity with unflinching honesty, and comes highly recommended.
Ben Lukas Boysen :: Alta Ripa (Erased Tapes)
Boysen, in sum, steers these definitive high-level productions as some of the finest on the planet. Creating an engrossing auditory experience of controlled chaos, Alta Ripa transports entangled technoid versus atmospheric coordinates that simply do not hold back.
