Stormy Acres :: Phantom Detractor (Not Yet Remembered)
These are undoubtedly dark ambient veils woven by a dedicated sonic detailer. All in all, a pulsating, abstract, and translucent album.
Seth Nehil/Bruno Duplant :: (else)where (aufabwegen)
The fifteen vignettes that these pieces offer are rather similar in atmosphere throughout disc 1, but a significant shift happens once you reach the unnerving nature of the second disc; though the first isn’t easy either, it does leave a lot more room for relaxing and somewhat reassuring natural sounds…
Humanfobia :: RINGU リング (2024) (Let’s Talk Figures)
Humanfobia has brought a path of death and destruction across the planet. This latest offering is a master work of horror and anguish that surely few can survive. The sound is not complicated, bass and keys with strange tones, groaning guttural unearthly sounds and sexy whispers from a ghost who follows me into my dreams.
Celine Arnauld & End of Cycle :: Bouncing Dance EP (Clean Error)
Bouncing Dance outlines Clean Error’s goal to revive the early IDM era and present new and intriguing sound sculptors who continue to develop fresh and original methods to portray it.
Particules :: Escape Path (Mahorka)
Particules’ Escape Path is a tidal wave of sound structures, with nine tracks of meticulously arranged chaos.
Nimh :: Before And After Silence (Zoharum)
A visceral voyage into deep hypnagogic textures, magnetic clouds and ominous towering moves. These audio works can easily convince those into cryptic drone manifests of Jonathan Coleclough, Colin Potter, Grant Evans, and Dead Voices on Air.
Parallel Worlds :: Artiphon (Móatún 7)
Artiphon, the most recent release from prolific experimental sound designer Parallel Worlds (aka Bakis Sirros), features several peaks and valleys of dark ambient strands.
Malarki :: Asunder (Errorgrid)
Malarki’s full length album for Errorgrid titled Asunder is full of bursting and brittle electrical fields, delivering an impacting sonic punch of soundtrack behemoths and shuffling industrial textures.
Everything Changes :: Sometimes EP (Onset Audio)
Core grooves are packed with frenetic jungle and flickering beats, yet they maintain a fierce energy that cascades with roughened edges.
Echaskech :: Novacene (VLSI)
A soundtrack in which its single moments are most definitely enjoyable and work as such, portraying a good variety of different imaginary scenarios that are apt to the album’s concept.
