Ultimately, For LA Vol. 1 & For LA Vol. 2 are more than just impressive collections of ambient works. They are a heartfelt response to tragedy, amplifying the voices of artists who use sound to bring comfort and aid. This release is not just worth a listen—it’s worth supporting, as every note carries the weight of healing and hope for a city in need.
Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
Through multiple evolutions along decades, with a refined combination of harmonies, a deep sense of space, a phenomenology of time and bright sonic manipulations based on acoustic timbres, Japanese artists invite the listener to enlightened and intuitive inner promenades.
