Hana Stretton :: tiarn (Self Released / Lima Loma / PW Elverum & Sun)
Hana Stretton’s album tiarn is filled with the kind of hazy lo-fi arrangements that pull on the heart strings of sepia toned memories, fading Polaroid snapshots in sound of private moments and community life alike. It’s not crazy to learn that some old family camera footage is part of the inspiration behind these songs.
Entidad Animada :: Pequeño clima doméstico (Umor Rex)
Pequeño clima doméstico is radically atmospheric: it blends equally well with the sounds of traffic or chirping birds, with a slow Sunday morning with a book or with the Monday after sending emails while working from home, and is sure to improve any of these moments in a humble but powerful way.
In Rotation :: The May–July 2026 Dispatch
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
Aaron King :: Sacred Drift (Glitchpulse)
Sacred Drift is an enjoyable listen, and the clicks, reminiscent of the click-hop movement that emerged in the early 2000s from artists like Microstoria, Pimmon, and early Matmos, bring back those familiar click sounds that add curiosity to glitch textures of an ambient piece.
Water Is The Sun :: Ritual Fever (Trome / Tocco Magico)
Ritual Fever dives deeply into ritualistic influences; both the vocals, reminiscent of chants and mantras, and the earth-rattling sustained drones help send the listener into a trance, as if they were lying down in the middle of a field, waiting to ascend into a higher world.
Danalogue :: Teleportations (Castles In Space)
From bubbling synths to irresistible basslines, Teleportations makes every stop on its cosmic journey worth visiting.
Caldon Glover :: Bird Machine (Self Released)
Five tracks of somewhat dark atmospheric exposures, ranging from just over five minutes to almost eleven minutes in duration. Most of the action is perhaps within the realm of atmospheric drone arts but there are some shocking incidents that give an enlightening bump to the constant listener.
Icky Reels :: DL Poisons (Self Released)
The downtempo chug is still there, but it’s been processed through decades of IDM evolution, filtered through the same sensibility that informed Beans’ abstract hip-hop work and Schematic’s experimental roster. DL Poisons’ unsettling in the way that the best experimental electronic music should be, familiar enough to feel grounded, strange enough to keep you off balance.
Invictus Hi-Fi :: The Hacienda Must Be Destroyed EP (Self Released)
Across four tracks, Invictus Hi-Fi leans into sampler grit, psychedelic color and rough-edged rhythm science, conjuring a sound that sits somewhere between warehouse afterglow and mature bedroom-studio experimentation.
Substak :: Abrasive Deluge (ECHØVEIL)
Substak returns with Abrasive Deluge, a stark and immersive dive into eroded ambient textures and haunted sonic debris.
