So Much Blood :: Raw Øblations 7: Gold Tooth (Errorgrid)
Easily a highlight of the series, the forthcoming compilation finale will include all seven releases rolled up into one high-powered assemblage. Watch out.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Overworld EP (Condition Human)
CRT delivers a surreal storm-surging soundtrack that breaks through with fragmented synthesis and industrial techno juxtaposition.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Poborsk :: Headset and Settings (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Poborsk succinctly produces an impactful release that only seeks to compliment Point Source Electronic Arts’ already creative audio-visual community.
subtractiveLAD :: Unspoken (Self Released)
Unspoken is “performance-based, with no click, no grid, just playing,” as stated in the liner notes. Featuring granular and raw construction permeating distinctive synth swells, Unspoken flows through like a forgotten soundtrack to our soul.
ArcSec :: My battery is low and it’s getting dark EP (Glitchpulse)
Crumpled experimental electronics and distorted glitch patterns dissolve into smaller elements with each passing minute, giving My battery is low and it’s getting dark just enough momentum to keep us engaged and looking forward to more in the same vein.
Dragon :: In The Year Of… (Ryu)
The artist’s ability to regulate and crunch such modular mayhem amplifies the pummeling sound-scraping detail of its ten tracks, which are scorched to no end by the overpowering combination of noise and distinct machine rhythms.
Homemade Weapons & Voidloss :: Bloodlillies In The Moonlight EP (Onset Audio)
Two talented sound sculptors burst through harder-edged beats, bass, and distortion with a potent collection of sound design structures and dark electronics.
Lucus :: Vectorising (Adventurous Music)
Vectorising continually draws from looping noises until nothing is left but dust. The amount of detail, found sounds, and auditory erosion is absolutely hypnotizing front to back.
Menou & Paolo Calabrese :: st2m EP (A Silent Place)
Before the halfway mark, you get some noise that sounds like it’s derived from scraping a metal sheet on the floor, which may sound astoundingly unpleasant when I frame it that way, but becomes much more fitting and digestible when it is so quiet in this piece.
