Experimental Electronic Music
Seabuckthorn, the project of guitarist and sound artist Andy Cartwright, crafts an evocative blend of ambient, electro-acoustic, and semi-classical textures on A Path Within A Path, released by Laaps. The album unfolds like an avant-garde chamber work, rich with spiritual depth, intricate guitar work, and collaborations that expand its introspective, transportive soundscape.
Lake Fire is not only a testament to Morgan’s artistic growth but also a powerful reflection on the ongoing dialogue between destruction and creation—an urgent reminder of our interconnected existence. It’s a profoundly dense and beautiful, contemplative work that offers both solace and insight in turbulent times.
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.
After covering several hundred releases in 2022, many notables—including links to their respective Igloo reviews or release pages—are cataloged here. As usual, there are no winners or runners-up as the lists are alphabetized by artist and selected tracks are featured on our Soundcloud playlist.
