An ethnography of shifting emotional terrain rendered in murky sketches by TJ Dumser, who has already brought a range of ambient expression to his developing back catalog, most notably with main project, Six Missing, and latest EP, Gentle Breath.

Tim Hecker :: Shards (Kranky)
Even though these tracks were created for different projects, Shards doesn’t feel like a mere compilation. Instead, it plays like a carefully curated journey through Hecker’s brooding, textural world.
Dead Melodies :: Sylvan (Cryo Chamber)
These atmospheric post rock soundscapes, dark ambient-acoustic and organic sound design, are somehow breaking free after being buried long ago and the woods grew over the top. Here is found the dark wooded album, Sylvan.
Markus Guentner :: Black Dahlia (Affin)
Black Dahlia is a relentless sonic departure and nuanced droning record of ominous, ecstatic and sublime fractures that will certainly appear among best albums of the year for lovers of adventurous music with ascending spiritual motifs.
Kroppskännedom :: Body Awareness
Andreas Malm describes what he does with Kroppskännedom as an amateur rock-oriented continuation of the more abstract and tape loop-based work he did before, or as an attempt to make song-based music that somewhat got lost along the way.
Myoptik :: Depth Of The Ventricoule (Móatún 7)
Flickering beats cascade as stretched drone textures unfold and fade, while Myoptik constructs a colossal, abstract sonic avalanche—complex yet as smooth as silk.
Earthen Sea :: Recollection (Kranky)
Combining calming dub, shoegaze (shoegauze), and sinuous psychedelic/guitar inflections, Recollection delivers an emblematic return to some familiar sounds, easily pulling in fans of these genres, and others besides.
Virus2020 :: A frog a gun and a sad man (Unexplained Sounds Group)
The result is more cryptic and hermetic than the previous release with a vast palette of aleatoric sound manipulations and sensient immersion in rituals taken from everyday life.
V/A :: Past/Present 2024 Compilation (Past Inside The Present)
If you, like me, may have been struggling to keep up with all the labels and artists you follow throughout the year, then compilations like Past/Present may come as some sort of godsend. Highlighting just about anything that Past Inside the Present have been pumping out in 2024, this compilation spans a lengthy three hours and showcases all the various shades of ambience that PITP specialize in.
