In experimental sound, collaboration often stems not from strategy but from shared sensibility. Such is the case with Stone and Worship, the compelling new duo release from Phil Maguire and Primož Bončina. Coming from gestural heavy guitar and electronic bass drone music respectively, the two bonded over a deep reverence for minimalism, physical space, and the ineffable power of sound. Their partnership is built as much on intuitive listening as on careful deliberation—a quiet resonance that became a mutual language, shaping Stone and Worship into a work of subtle force, where each frequency, pause, and vibration speaks volumes.

Wil Bolton & Francis Gri :: Drawing Shadows (Self Released)
These lush soundscapes will easily seduce listeners in search of moments of calm meditative states. Another healing ambient journey which conveys a sense of spatial dislocation and inner quietude with angelic and autumnal tone colors.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Triskaidekaphobia Extd. (Sounds Of Discordia)
Here, time blurs. Languid pulses, dusky synth-lines, erratic vocal fragments, and serpentine grooves conjure a place half-remembered—at once familiar and untethered, a kind of sonic déjà vu.
Yann Novak :: Continuity (Room40)
Released on Lawrence English’s long-running Room40 label, Continuity is a conceptual and sonic triumph—an ambient album that dares to interrogate the very structures through which we process and interpret the world.
Lichon :: It’s Always About Us EP (Fungus Amungus)
The three pieces deliver an emotionally transportive, transformative, spacious, ominous, and lamenting experience for meandering string textures and slowly-evolving patterns. A sensient and uplifting spiritual […]
A-Sun Amissa :: We Are Not Our Dread (Gizeh)
This is music made with total creative freedom, by a group perpetually evolving. Rather than repeat themselves, A-Sun Amissa continue to carve out their own shadowy corner of the experimental world—one where dread becomes catharsis, and ruin gives way to reverie.
Saapato :: Decomposition: Fox on a Highway (Constellation Tatsu)
Such an exploration might seem at first more fitted to harsh noise or the post-industrial genres, but the sounds here are lush and radiant, calming, relaxed. There is the pungent fragrance of death present, but it isn’t cloying, but something familiar and comforting.
Gånggrift :: Tidbits For Worms (I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free)
What results is not merely sound but a howl—a raw, unfiltered transmission from the fault lines of civilization. Brutal, surreal, and resolutely unpolished, this is music as witness, as offering, as rupture.
Jolanda Moletta and Karen Vogt :: Sea-swallowed Wands (quiet details)
Their approaches, methods, and sound signatures are relatively aligned, revolving around microtonality and meditative spiritual stillness. Such a creative dialogue can only be harmonious, guided by an imaginative force that invites the listener on a mental journey elsewhere.
Death in Vegas :: Death Mask (Drone)
The nine tracks of Death Mask fall into techno. However, such labelling does this record a disservice. Richard Fearless is pushing the limitations of the genre and forging new paths within the sound. His ability, and years of experience, come to the fore as new audio explorations are charted.
