Sounds puncture space, and things float to the surface. It’s just another ordinary day for being human and listening to music when the smallest detail might make the biggest waves.

Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2024
Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
Jacek Doroszenko :: Identity Values (Audiobulb)
Where atmospheric waves coalesce, drifting sonic ice-sheets scrape up against each other as Identity Values subtly gains momentum while aligning with Audiobulb’s extensive Rolodex of abstract sound sculptors.
Henrik Meierkord :: MÖRK (Audiobulb)
MÖRK—which means darkness in Swedish—is a vertiginous and spiritually enthralling dive in deep bass cello tones, minimally improvised guitar sequences, long sweeping electronic sounds, and hypnotic loops.
Daniel Vickers & Sergio Mariani_MRN :: New Dawn EP (Audiobulb)
Two seasoned musicians covering upper atmospheric realms offer a reassuring, charming, yet fleeting escape with New Dawn.
Ümlaut :: An Auxiliary View (Audiobulb)
Ümlaut (aka northern Connecticut-based Jeff Düngfelder) elevates An Auxiliary View, delving light years into transparent soundscapes, expansive musique concrète, microscopic glitch mechanisms, and static pulses for the consistently adventurous Audiobulb imprint.
Neuro… No Neuro :: Mental Cassette (Audiobulb)
Mind-bending and engaging minimalist soundtracks captured in eleven sonic miniatures.
OdNu :: Ronroco Rococo Memories (Audiobulb)
We can imagine the beauty of sound emanating from the Ronroco and its calming cascade, maybe because of the smaller sound particles that manage to make their way through the mist and delicately slide down jagged mountainside slopes as depicted by the cover artwork.
Micah Pick :: Frameworks (Audiobulb)
These themes explore the surprise at finding unexpected joy even at our darkest moments when our worst fears are realized and facing the unique stresses of adulthood by retaining a sense of childlike joy.
