Ruben :: Chambers EP (Self Released)

What makes Chambers work is that it doesn’t feel like an experiment for the sake of it. The processing serves the music, not the other way around. It’s the kind of release that sneaks up on you, not flashy, but it sticks. By the time it’s over, you realize there’s more going on than you initially thought. This is a strong showing from Ruben, and for a limited run of 30 cassettes, it punches well above its weight.

Yulyseus :: Nothing Under Heaven (n5MD)

The nostalgia embedded within Nothing Under Heaven is particularly striking. It is not tied to any singular past, nor does it lean on sentimentality. Instead, it manifests as a kind of emotional afterimage. A sense of having felt something deeply without being able to fully recall its shape. This gives the music a haunting familiarity, as though it is reflecting something the listener already carries but has not yet named.

Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)

Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
