Experimental Electronic Music
Taken together as an entire trilogy, Familiarity Unfolded completes and achieves a rare cohesion. Each release strengthens the others, forming a unified body of work that equals its initial stage individual parts. The story is complete. Not as two but as one Undivided.
The newest expression, Were we really there?, is a beatless paean to somnambulist mornings at campfire-ember edges, or where the lull of lapping lakes adjacent to preemptive summer sunsets captivate.
The latest release from Kirk Markarian under the Neuro… No Neuro moniker is a meticulously ripened offering of ear-fruit, shaped by a newly favored effects pedal whose very purpose seems validated by Markarian’s ability to unlock its full expressive range.
Can you create your own Zen on an eleven-hour flight from Berlin to Miami? I gave it a try with the February 2025 album Card Catalogue, by Neuro… No Neuro. Flights are a world of fleeting moments and constant interruptions. This album invites you to pause, sift through your mental archives, and find solace in the texture of memory.
Mind-bending and engaging minimalist soundtracks captured in eleven sonic miniatures.
Subtle field recordings and granular synthesis spread across these compositions as shimmering elements take hold.
After covering several hundred releases in 2023, 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.
Markarian weaves a diverse mix of distinct electrical strands across each of its twelve sections, even while his usage of drones, tones, and buzzing melodic shards veer even more into isolated abstraction.
Brittle melodicism captured in a brief two-chapter sonic foray.
Neuro… No Neuro captures five minuscule sound bytes where obscurely formed electronic shapes become invisible and peculiar.
The album is at its best when you hear the signature Audiobulb sound of minimalist, at times almost microscopic, glitchy ambient IDM, but there’s also some reverb drenched ambient drone.
