Experimental Electronic Music
Radiating enigmatic industrial-electronic pulses from Omaha, Neutrino Effect (aka Jon Sanford) ventures into an entirely different dimension with FAMINE, a fourteen-track assemblage, fleeting in length but with the cosmic force of the universe propelling us through its boundless depths.
A vibrant blend of rich textures and cybernetic, pulsating rhythms emerge from the depths, accompanied by altered vocals and hypnotic, futuristic soundscapes. These elements guide the listener on an exhilarating journey toward authenticity and redefined beauty, within a vast, multi-dimensional, and sensory-rich reality.
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.
Industrial rhythms and explosive beats, aggressive textures, unsettling ambient, and resonating drones create aggravated assemblages that mirror the advanced architecture of the market forces as driving as the bass drops and as savage as the distorted beats.
North Sea is renewed with musically rich and engaging synthedelic experiences surrounded by sci-fi dystopian conceptual backgrounds and ecological-minded aspirations.
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.
This album feels like opening up a picture album of pleasant and nostalgic memories, infused with dust, a gauze effect giving everything a pleasant glow, even on the faded things of the past.
Globally, All of My Faults Laid Bare demonstrates a strong use of meandering synthesized textures with looped sequences, softly moving in deep space.
Vapored Angels’ relentless assault of harsh electronics and tortured instrumentals propels itself to our list of the best releases of 2024.
