Texture is most certainly this album’s ambassador, but it’s not just experimentation with noise. There’s a lot of subtlety and continuity, both of which make […]

Murcof :: Twin Color (vol. I) (InFiné)
Twin Color (vol. I), with its recontextualization of analog synthesis with post-digital methodologies, its creation of a sound at once nostalgic and future-based, bears eloquent testimony to Murcof’s continued innovation in the electronic sphere.
P.ST :: The Noise Fields (Silent)
The four fields of noise on this album connect different points in deep time to an essential temporal unity in a carnival of whirling chaos whose sound is as powerful as any cyclone or vortex. It can suck you in, and through its portal, transport your mind into another world of consciousness.
Rontronik :: Zero Nine (Tygr Rawwk Rcrds)
Rontronik’s taste for noisy textures and atmospheric shines on Zero Nine. Although in terms of composition, the album runs smoothly, its production is solid enough to demonstrate a good sense of timbre, and the sound palette he chooses to highlight is astounding.
Vaag :: Vague music
A brief, if not “vague,” Q&A session with Haarlem, Netherlands-based musician Marc Brinkerink (aka Vaag) intentionally designed to deliver a clear and direct line of communication without unnecessary clutter—except when it comes to his music, of course.
Yair Elazar Glotman & Mats Erlandsson :: Glory Fades (XKatedral)
All in all, a shimmering, beautiful, bold, nostalgic and carefully crafted ambient album that will also please fans of classical minimalism (Lou Harrisson, John Luther Adams), Steve Tibbetts’ Northern Song, as well as Appalachian / primitive guitar soundscapes with an experimental and soothing atmospheric tendency.
Irkya :: night flowers EP (Wormhole World)
This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Wormhole World in February 2025.
Dreamfish :: 90s Classic Resurfaces
Deep, shimmering, imbued with hope and tranquility, but also a certain darkness of the deep preventing any tilt into New Age excess, it mixes several ambient stylings to sonicize various aquatic states and movements.
Ghostwoods :: Neon Remixed EP (4000 Records)
Listening to Ghostwoods’ Neon Remixed, out on 4000 Records, is a sweet diversion. Each remix is unique to the others, and each is thoughtfully assembled.
Beyond the Ghost :: Neon Twilight (Cryo Chamber)
All I can find to explain what is here are endless crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and motivations, a dark noir album filled with harmonic textures and creeping reverbs.
D-Fried :: Images Sur La Mer (Phonocake)
Images Sur La Mer is a two-part soundtrack dronescape that ebbs and flows into surreal textures, tones, and muted abstracts over the course of more than forty sparkling minutes.
