Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.

2View — f5point6 :: A Random Sequence of Events & Rhombus Index :: hycean (See Blue Audio)
Both records express what has been built up to in previous outings from these artists, and they may as well be the culmination for both for now; unless there’s even more coming out this year, at which point I’d have to see which way the wind will be blowing in future releases.
mHz :: Material Prosody (Room40)
The result is captivating, thoughtful, emotive, strange, and navigating through cerebral sound waves, smooth atmospherics, moody-esque sculpted improvisations to radical rhythmically-orientated and almost glitch-like experimentations.
Pearl River Sound :: You have to love yourself a fire (Evel)
You have to love yourself a fire surrounds itself by a plethora of abrupt breaks and distorted electro-nics; going on several tangents with low-flowing synth sections complemented by precision audio plateaus.
Drifting In Silence | w-berg :: North Sea (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge, with over two decades of experience composing ambient music and scoring films and television, brings his expertise in crafting expansive soundscapes to this collaboration. Partnering with w-berg adds new depth and texture to the project, marking a significant evolution for both artists.
Greg Davis :: Full Spectrum 3/7 (Autumn)
The sensation is not of a linear event but a cyclical one, constantly ebbing, flowing, evolving and repeating. In these pieces Davis seeks to enfold, embrace and uplift the listener with these enveloping works.
Colin Andrew Sheffield :: Moments Lost (Sublime Retreat)
Psychic functions, postmodern poetical romanticism and paranormal phenomena are summoned to generate an absorbing, menacing, dreary, ecstatic and eerie cinematic experience.
Kettel & Secede :: When Can (Deluxe Edition) (Lapsus, Perennial Series)
And so we come to When Can, the strangely enigmatic and oft-overlooked collaboration between Kettel and the equally elusive Secede. I’ll admit to being as surprised as I was delighted when Lapsus announced its reissue as a deluxe vinyl edition because it’s an album I adore, so much so this is now the third time I’ve written about it.
