Tag: Best of 2024
Soul Data Transfer :: Soul Data Transfer EP (EC Underground)
The four tracks on Soul Data Transfer’s eponymous debut EP for ECU are delicately woven, abstract ambient-glitch morsels that flow and transcend space and time.
vssp :: Over the sun (Kalamine)
As a whole, vssp’s Over the sun has a consistent feel and a steady pace. It is best for meditative moods, for periods of quiet and extended listening. The temporary nature of modern life is connoted throughout.
Flathan :: Archive (Aduaine)
These unearthed sound archives, which have the aura of dusty electronica and give us the impression that we have been living with these auditory Polaroids for a while, are arguably one of 2024’s least expected surprises.
V/A :: BLE-EP3 (Yellow Machines)
With this highly anticipated EP, Yellow Machines raises the bar; locking down some of the best producers in the experimental electronic field and easily becomes a contender for best EP of 2024.
Deborah Martin & Erik Wøllo :: Kinishba (Spotted Peccary Music)
Kinishba stands strong as a new creation with elements of today together with so much to remember from our complex human history.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: The Hippopotomons – trosesquippedaliophobia EP (Pulse State)
Slowly luring us in with warped melodies, slow motion rhythms, and unyielding atmospheric textures and tones.
VAAG :: Perfect Imperfection (Point Source Electronic Arts)
A centerpiece for the infinitely glitch-filled panoramic of 2024.
